Blog #14: Glasses

Glasses rhymes with grasses,
Grasses sounds like gases,
Gases is one letter different from bases,
Bases is kinda like homeostasis,
Homeostasis is a word I've forgotten the meaning of,
Of has the likeness of love,
Love is something that comes from up above,
Above is where it flies, the dove,
Doves can be mistaken for hubs,
Hubs can be accidentally spelled tubs,
Tubs is a place to hold masses,
Masses and masses of water,
And water is found in (where else?) than very simple glasses.

Blog #13: Don't you love it when

Don't you love it when you reap what you sow? Even if the result turns out to be against you, you still feel the justice of the progression of events. When you study and you get a good grade, when you do not study and you do not get a good grade, there is a righteous cause and effect. However, when a sequence of events does not reflect justice, the lack of fairness disgusts even the most crooked people. Perhaps times when such things occur so often that justice, which comes around so rarely, surprises us when it occurs.

Blog #12: DOAS

I would like to be a physicist right now. However, my inclination of physics only barely outstrips my feelings towards all other subjects. I could just as easily major in business or chemistry. I know that my pastor, who was so passionate engineering and went to COOPERS UNION, one of the BEST engineering schools in the nation. Still, his calling was not in being an engineer, but a pastor and so he went where he was called and today, I see a man who knows that he is doing what he should be doing. If he could be swayed from the path of his passion, I know that the slightest breeze could push me from my current path so, though I look towards the world of physics right now, I really do not know where I am going in life.

Blog #11 Great Gatsby

This author definitely sees the flaws of Gatsby clearly. However, while he does not approve of the actions that Gatsby has taken in his life, he does say that Gatsby's drive throughout Gatsby's life is admirable. It is the pursuit of happiness, the American spirit, the race towards the green light. More than an ambition, the author calls it, but an aspiration. I completely understand. As one who has gone through life with multitudes of desires tugging at his hear, I also know that I lacked the effort and the passion to go and reach for the things my heart longed for.

Still, his life is yet stained with the poor choices he has chosen in his life. Despite his strength of heart and pursuit, he is guilty for the crimes he has committed to attain his high social position. In his great chase towards riches and love, he disregarded an important part of his life: morality. He followed his hypnotized heart across the border between right and wrong; I doubt he even realized it.

Blog #10: New Year's Resolution

My resolution is to not slack off. Some would think that this is too vague to achieve, but actually, it is not vague, but expansive. In my life, I get things done on a satisfactory level, but I do not want to be okay with just okay. I want to be progressive, proactive, and successful, not mediocre, average, and ordinary. I feel that I was made for bigger and better things, but it all depends on the work I put in to my life. I have so many opportunities in front of me, but taking advantage of them requires a high level of effort and stamina. Still, greatness would not be great if it did not take a great effort to attain it.
