Ready. Must pick up by 03-22-14 Woodbourne ----------------------------------------- March 14, 2014: Have you ever seen a ghost? Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not? Not definitively. I've had 'feelings' of being watched or thinking I heard something. I totally believe in spirits and think they can manifest in a variety of different ways. ION, I also believe in ESP and strong mental/emotional connections that manifest at different times and in different ways, like de ja vu, recognizance, all that jazz. For instance, a co-worker and I were talking about how her son sometimes hears her voice even when she's not around and it's because she was just thinking about him in an excited manner and I've had the same thing happen to me. Also, 3 of us believe we have a sort of....knowing? Or connection to peoples....they say 'aura's I don't feel I see things about people but I do consider myself to be very keen and aware of the emotions and intentions of others. It takes me time to master and/or understand these things about strangers, unless I come into close contact w/ a new person for an extended amount of time or unnatural/non-traditional fashion. I know most of that makes no sense, but wanted to jot it down. ------------------- What actor or actress do you like enough to watch in just about anything? As previously mentioned a few times, Bruce Willis. I like his kewl dude attitude, somehow he manages to be ultra confident without coming across as arrogant and undeserving. He's also mega funny. Wonder what his true flaws are....can't help to imagine that Demi Moore was the lucky one in that coupling, and of course his kids, though it's a bit of a bummer his genes are so strong that the girls look more like him than their mother....just sayin. In the interest of gender fairness my fav actress at the moment is....I wanna say Sandra Bullock but I got the feeling she's not doing too many more comedies, what she's most entertaining in/at. So I'll throw McCarthy in there for pure comedic sake. O! I am a J Law fan, I saw her in this older drama on Netflix, as awkward as it was she got to play the whole dramatic gambit, including a rape scene, those hard to stomach moments tend to really make/break certain actors. ----------------------------------- Happy Pi Day, everyone! 3-14-14 It's Funny Friday! Prompt for March 14, 2014 Try to come up with five what ifs. Pick your favorite and turn it into something funny -- short story, rant, essay... Your choice. Pi Day used to be such a big deal in school, I miss that. What if Pi Day was Nationally Recognized as a big deal? What if every shop/bakery was obligated to give/sell really cheap pies on Pi Day? What if there was a race of people that could alter their race at will? What if there was a global system in place to introduce pen-pals in real life? (Sounds like a chapter for
What if the United Nations banded together and made the U.S. get with the program and off more international programs for ALL americans. (I.E. Just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean 'poor' kids can't get a free ride to visit their pen-pal) Dang, guess the last one isn't all that funny, but there's potential there..... |
| If you could personally witness one event in history, what would you want to see? Oi, soooo many to choose.....last time was Columbus' arrival in America....so I'll randomly say, some event in London....like the crowning of the first King! Yea, I choose that. -------------------------- What's the first movie you remember seeing in a theater? Ummm, I want to say Beauty and the Beast, but that's probably only because it scared me.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101414/ I was 5 when it came out and I can't imagine the sense in taking a toddler much younger to the movies....because obviously I don't remember it ;-P ION: I didn't know Oliver and Co. was so old! (1988) I may have been to that...though I was only 2, I know I've seen it at least! -------------------------------- It's Opinion Thursday! Prompt for March 13, 2014 Are we doing kids a favor or a disservice by "not allowing them to fail" in high school? (make-up tests until they pass, extra credit, etc.) How does this affect their preparedness for college and beyond? 'Wussification of America' has become a huge topic these past few years and while I completely agree that trying to 'shield' kids from the real world and being obsessed with political correctness is doing more harm than good, I don't think make-up tests and extra credit are examples of this. Standardized testing isn't the only way to learn and given how stringent and unpersonalized education is people need some leeway, myself included. Now, this crap about no zeros and an auto 50 even if you DON'T turn it in! is just crazy.....So is removing the option of corporal punishments and students having more rights than teachers. No, giving a hard working kid a second/third chance isn't a disservice, but allowing some snot with a crappy attitude ruin the educational experience for others by disrespecting the teacher and them-self whenever they want, is. bubblews research: http://parentingbeyondbelief.com/blog/?p=4271 http://jacmus.com/corporal-punishment-when-is-it-okay-to-hit-your-kids/ |
