| | hi so life has been alright. i really wish it was summer though. and i hate this weather. i'm so ready for the cold. all this global warming is freaking me out... a lot. i mean, sometimes i wish i lived earlier just so i won't always be afraid that the world is ending or something. but then again i wonder, did they face these kinds of problems back then? like when the broke the sound barrier they thought they were going to all die. that must have been wicked scary. it's too bad we can't exactly think "oh, maybe this whole global warming thing isn't such a big deal" like the sound barrier thing because this global warming thing kind of is... i mean, if all the ice melts the world is going to be flooded which is just a scary thought. all those inuit, alaskan people up north will have to find a new way to live and the polar bears will have to find a new way to survive. our whole ecosystem will be messed up!!! this is such a scary thought. and then i think in general, this world is getting worse and worse. i mean, the human population is going up which means that there are going to be less and less resources and all the well-off people (such as me and the community i live in) are becoming more and more spoiled and the third world countries peoples are all becoming poorer and poorer! and also inflation and how everything is becoming more and more expensive. but i guess this is just a taste of what it must have been like during the bubonic plague in england. it must have been really scary seeing people just die like that. and even scarier cause they had no idea what was going on! they had no idea of how it spread. they thought it was cause of all the sin and playhouses (cause that's when playhouses started becoming famous) and playhouses were bad. think of the plays as R rated movies. so ultra catholics (which weren't even allowed in england at the time because elizabeth was ruling so the country was protestant) believed that it was because of the plague so when the plague happened, the shut down the theater. but the plague still spread cause everyone was required to go to church. gosh i hope a plague like that doesn't happen in america. speaking of churches, can you imagine if everyone was required to be one religion? i mean that does happen today but like if everyone was required to the catholic and if you didn't show up to church you would be fined... that would stink. what if you get a life threatening illness? would you still have to go to church? what if you spread it to others? like the plague!! you know, the plague really interests me. i mean its freaky how it spread but in a way, it was really good for england. i mean, it killed off everyone (hahahaha sorry didn't mean for that to sound so morbid) but then it allowed for people to make money. like if you're an artist, and someone needed art, all the good artists died and youre the only artist left so of course they'll go to you and people will be in a way fighting for you and offering you more money so you'll make more money! and what's cool is that this led to the renaissance in some way! the renaissance was truly an interesting time. i really liked looking at renaissance art. i mean, artists really put in a lot of time into what they were gonna paint. for example, a dog in the corner of the painting could stand for loyalty or something. i wonder if artists do that today. maybe an apple stands for something like... smartness. cause you know how you give teachers apples? speaking of giving teachers apples, hahaha my chem class is totally ridiculous and sneaks in apples and various fruits when our teacher isn't there and our teacher has no idea who is doing it. now she has this fruit tally on the board. so far she's gotten 10 apples, 2 oranges, 2 pears, an asian pear, a lime, a lemon and a cactus pear. what the heck is a cactus pear? i'd like to know. apparently theyre popular in california... wow i haven't been to california in like what, 3 years? i don't know if i really want to go back. it'll be so weird! i haven't seen my relatives since i was like 12. i used to be really skinny back then. hahhhhh wow. ok so that was a really long rant about nothing at all. ok well i better goo ummm clean my garage (haha jk. they use that excuse all the time in arthur!) haha ok bye. |
