Spiderman 3

It hit the box office May 4th breaking all records with phenomenal showings , but was it really that great?We all know how it started, the genius teenage boy gets bit by a scientific spider giving him "spidy powers". He then finds out that it is his destiny to to save New York from all its evils. But when all else fails in the second movie he abandons his suit and his legacy, turning him into all but ordinary and finally decides to fall for his true love M.J. and go back to saving the world. In the third movie it was filled with heart pounding , edge of your seat, don't touch my popcorn moments as well corquy scenes that didn't even fit the movie, and the geeky ones that just made you feel sympathetic for Toby Maguire(Spiderman).

In the third movie we are faced with the question of choice, should spiderman go to the dark side or should he stay true to the red and blue. In the movie he becomes not so much evil but bad.As the bad spidy he has gained more power and a new sense of excitement. All of this not only plays part during superhero work, but in his daily life. Face it, they turned him emo.The side swept hair,black clothing, and oh so bad attitude, all that's missing is the eyeliner. But before he turns evil it shows his sweet side. Peter still loves M.J. and is going to purpose to her when all the sudden thew New Green Goblin, a.k.a Harry, comes into the picture and tries to kill Peter. He then gets a concussion which makes him forget everything after high school,including his fathers death. But they tell him he died, just not how. While all this is going on there is an escape convict running loose and stumbles upon a scientific sand site that turns him into the sandman. They really need more than the 2 by 2in. signs that say "please don't pass" and the three foot high plastic fence, that's why they have all the super powered villains.Then you get back to the story were Peter is about to be replaced by a new photographer, named Brock, and M.J.'s career is falling apart.

Harry then stumbles into his dads secret laboratory and then goes back to wanting to ruin Peters life. Harry gets M.J. to break up with Peter by blackmail. All the while Perter is freaking out because the suit is taking over his life only leaving him with chaos. He finally gets the suit off by crashing into the church bells where he was hiding out for some time. Coincidentally, Brock, was there and the suit took over him and turned him into Venom. As the movie goes on Venom is terrorizing New York with the help of Sandman and Spiderman is the only one who can stop them. The New Green Goblin has it out for Spiderman too, but he decides to help spidy instead because he can't kill him if he's already dead; and it wouldn't be that nice of a story either. In the end Spiderman gets the suit off of Brock and he destroys it along with Brock who was emotionally attached. The Sandman gets away, but not before telling his side of the story about Uncle Ben's true death, which was an accident. And last but not least and terribly sad Harry dies while defending Peter in battle. All in all, I give this movie four out of five stars.

Society in 2007

As we go about our daily lives pursing what we strive for in life we have our typical worries to think about. Parents worry about their children's health, grades, the bills, and their children's happiness and overall well being. While teens worry about the fads, sometimes grades, games and their social lives. While kids are just kids, thinking about games, toys, friends and for some school. But in our world and society it is not easy, par say, to worry about the everyday things anymore. We now have so much more added onto our plates that we must, worry, contemplate, and pray for. The once absurd things to think about have now become everyday things to ponder over. Parents can not send their kids to school anymore without worrying if they will be shot, as it has happened more often now, or if they will be kidnapped or try and be bought out by drugs. Teens cant go to school anymore without always being on guard, without thinking if there school is going to get shot down, or even being made fun of because they are religious. Children have been subjected to horrific things on video games, in movies and even at school.
One must wonder were all of this is coming from and were all of it is heading.Most of it, if not all, is societies lack of morals .We live in a world that tells everyone whether it is through magazines, the movies or T.V that they must worry only about their looks. A world that tells you yes it is alright to be gay, to not get married, and that more than two kids per family is absurd.A world that tells you yes you can have an abortion, use birth control and that sex before marriage is alright, as long as it makes you fell better.As long as you, yourself are happy.
Yes that's the phrase the world can now use, as long as your happy. That is what it has turned into. So what do we say to the murderers in prison who felt so ecstatic when they murdered or raped someone? Do we say it is all fine and dandy, or do we sentence them to life? It may be "outrageous" to compare all this to such a thing as murder, but that is what society has done, that is what our world has turned into.Abortion is homicide. Its there plane and simple, it is murder.Divorce is hurting people and splitting whole families apart. Consumption of money is driving people mad and causing them to go as far as killing and hurting others for more. Telling people they must weigh a certain amount in order to be beautiful and loved is causing them to be anorexic and bulimic, which leads to death. Telling people if they don't have a certain nose or chin they must get plastic surgery or lipo leads them to undergo numerous life threatening surgeries. Just for the sake of others opinions. In our day and age the world is saying that there is no God, we originated from the big bang and can govern ourselves. The world needs people that will step up and say something, not be suppressed buy the rest of the world for saying what they believe. If the world and our society don't turn around now, there wont be anything to go back onto, no set of morals, rules, or regulations and the world will go into utter havoc over something as simple as a choice.

The world around us

So many of us wonder what we are going to eat for dinner, hoping its not more meatloaf or another casserole. We are all wondering what matters most to us, for some its the dinner theory, for others its clothes, video games, friends, school, even paying the bills and getting your taxes in on time. Of course we worry about those things because it is what matters most to us for some it is wrongly based with material things and with others it is there family, the family that they have grown to love and cherish.But if we were to stop, turn off the T.V's, the ipod's, and the games we shall see there are others in the world that have hardships that they have to live with everyday.The U.S has had it pretty easy, of course we have been blessed with a multitude of things that some have taken for granted, while others have counted them. There is a war in Iraq many, if not all people know about,there is communism in North Korea, and starvation as well as genocide in Darfur, but that is just a small portion of what is going on in the world.
Lets start with the war in Iraq, something most know about. People are being bombed on the streets , not only men, but women and children. Journalists are being taken, held hostage, tourchered and even beheaded. There are peoples sons , daughters, nieces ,nephews and grandchildren, peoples families,out there risking there lives all because someone decided to ram two planes into the twin towers. So many people died that day and so many are dying today. There is controversy over whether or not the U.S. should stay in Iraq,some say it is helping while others say it is just making more problems. I say it is all based upon your personal beliefs about war and all that have died in 9-11 and the deaths that have gone on during the war. But is it really worth the sacrifice?
Then there is North Korea, there leader has subjected them to limited knowledge of the outside world.They are unable to do what they please, even in their own homes.They must ask permission to read certain books, they can't have anything from outside of their country. When tourists come they are told to stay away, they are told nonsense about Americans and they way the rest of the world is.They even have to ask permission to go out of town, even for just a few hours or miles. They are unable to have cars and can't even color their hair a different color or see a western movie. Although their leader has done most, if not all the things he is depriving his people of. People have gone "missing" there and no one bothers to ask, for fear that they will be killed. A country that is completely controlled by there government with no freedom.
And last but not least amongst the issues that I must mention is Darfur.The Sudanese government ans ethnic militia called "Janjaweed" have been in an armed conflict with rebel groups called the SLM and the SLA ( Sudanese Literation Movement/Army) and the Justice Equality Movement (JEM) since early 2003. As part of its operations against the rebels, government forces have developed a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against the civilization population who are members of the same ethnic group as the rebels. The Sudanese government forces and Junjaweed militia burned and destroyed hundreds of villages. They have killed and caused the deaths of 200,000 people and have raped and assaulted hundreds of women and girls. As of January 2007 about two million displaced people live in camps in Darfur, and at least 232,000 have fled to neighboring Chad where they live in refugee camps.Thousands upon millions need food, clothing and shelter because the conflict has damaged the local economy, markets and trade in Darfur.The rebel allegiances have split and shifted since the conflict began in November 2005 when the SLA split into two fracture's.Now as of early 2007 there are more than a dozen split fractures of the SLA and the JEM . The rebel groups are well divided with some supporting the May 2006 Peace agreement and then there is the majority of others who refuse to sign the agreement. Some of them operate under an umbrella cooperation known as the National Redemption Front (NRF). Although they have settled down some and are getting help, it is still extremely bad.
All of this is just a smidgen of what is going on in the world.Yes the U.S. has it bad, but not nearly as bad as the some other countries do. People are being killed in Nicaragua for there shoes! Yes there are crisis' in the U.S as well, I'm not saying there aren't. But it is far better than what others have around the world.We have controlled settings and a government that supports us, not one that is against us.

Intelligence v.s. Perception

Intelligence as many would say would be your typical street smarts or book smarts,but it is far more than that. It is the ability to learn and solve problems .If you have intelligence you have intellect and vice- versa.These two things enable you to reason between situations. While perception is the ability to perceive. Perceiving is knowledge obtained by becoming aware of things and situations through your senses.True perception stems from security, self esteem comes from plain perception, whereas insecurity comes from a lack of identity or bruised perception. It is all in the way you look at things, the way you see yourself and less importantly the way the world sees you. Perception is not everything to an individual, it can either help you by finding your own true self, or it can ruin you (which is what it does to most) by making you do whatever the world around you does.Like liberals. Intelligence will allow you to see things as the truly are, while perception from ones mind may be different to anothers'.Sensation stems from perception. It is a feeling of immense gratitude, it is a sense of being highly pleased. It is what allows you to accept a compliment or a good deed when people perceive what they see and put thoughts into action. All of this call upon attention, which heeds others and allows you and others around you notice their surroundings.Your memory plays apart in all of this by allowing you to remember things that have happened to you and others whether they are significant or not. All of these make associations, or connections within ones mind which kicks in your intelligence and the ability to reason as well as turning on your perception to enable you to have a secure or insecure idea on how you are to base things. And finally your imagination is what allows you to compile all of these things together within your head and make up day dreams or just dreams based upon your range of intelligence and the way you perceive situations.It is what allows someone to make up stories of princesses being rescued by a handsome prince of the world going into utter chaos over a small situation. That is probably what all those pause( ll ) commercials are for. And your attention calls all of it to mind.

As we go about our daily lives doing what we do everyday we do not stop to think of our train of thoughts and the way we look at things as easy as intelligence verses perception. But if we were to really stop and think which is really the superior one. If we were to really stop we would see that intelligence out ways perception by far. It is better to base your thought upon what you know to be true by your own beliefs than to let a whole world govern you. A world that has grown to know and love images only leaving it with scornful regrets. It would be better to be the moral and virtuous person with intelligence living life than to have everything based upon the perceptions of a world that has already fallen through the cracks.

Mom

There when the sunlight seeps through the curtains grasping the darkness with its hands and awakening her to a beautiful summers day. She is there through thick and thin, and never regretting a day in her life, this glorious day is presented to her.

A day in which we acknowledge all all she has done for us. All the headaches, backaches, and days she wanted to pull out her hair, but took a deep breath, put on a smile and lent us an ear when she had none left. She is there to see all our "cartwheels", dances-no matter how bad they are, and accept with a smile every picture that we paint. She is the one to tuck us into bed with a book and a prayer, to be stern when she needs to, and to love you when you feel as if no one else in the world does. She is the one who brought us into this world and prays every night and day we will be safe and God will lead us the right way when she feels she can't.

Today we honor and shower her with all our love, thanks and prayers. Though words can not express all that our hearts desire to say and how grateful we are to have her, the least we can say is Happy Mothers Day.
