Thoughts about Blog project

I can say that i did learn about what i was blogging about, The Copenhagen Accord, but to be honest there wasn't much conclusion to it. i learned about the accord but the fact that it still isn't completed and no country accepted it was discouraging. I believe that i would have enjoyed it more if i had a different topic that i could have understood more and had more interest in. i really don't have any suggestions for improvements. With my topic i do still have a couple of questions about the Copenhagen Accord, like since it didnt meet the deadline, is there a new one? i tried to find the answer but came up with none. i have actually blogged before but it was on myspace about some personal feelings that i was having and what was going on in my life. i enjoy blogging like that because it is somewhat soothing for me to get my emotions out. And i have found that blogging is one of my favorite ways to let things go. Now if i am talking about certain people then i always talk in gererals and never mention certain people or really go in depth if it was a serious thing. Usually i like to write things that lead up to a moral you could say or something with a lesson. Also it is a way to express my broad thinking about life.

America loves the Olympics

This is a comedy quote but at the same time their is alot of truth to this. This is the time when people get to sit at home and root against their least favorite country whether it becasue of a past war or just a dislike of someone they know who's origin is from that country. I'm sure alot of folks will find themselves rooting against the russians from what happened in the 1980 Olympics or the dislike that some people have for Canadians just from watching the cartoon show "South Park". For whatever reason Americans, where ever they are from, have at one point rooted against another country because of what we have always heard growing up that America is the greatest country. Our competativeness is also something to look at. Growing up and even as an adult there has been at least one time where we have tried harder to exceed at something and even gloat a little about our accomplishment. And with those two things we put them together and want nothing more than to see America dominate the competition and see our flag at the highest tier waving proudly. Some call it foolishness to root so hard against another country but others call it patriotic.

Reaction to MLK speech

When this speech was wrote and then said aloud it was very powerful. For the time when blacks were being assalted and ridiculed for their color it was definetly something that needed to be said. I like how Martin luther King Jr. did not just point out the south for where these things were happening but he also pointed out that even in the north it still continued. I also liked how he mentioned to not turn to physical violence to demand these rights. Physical violence, in those days, was not something the police were going to tolerate and would probably just soon kill anyone who fought back. One thing that i dont agree with and i think that it still has a effect today is how he mentioned the police several times in the speech basically mocking them. I do understand for them days that the police were crooked and such but that might have had an effect on why alot of people these days still have a real bad distaste for police. The speech works because everyone could relate to this at the time. With all the racism going on and the injustices that followed this was something that did need to be said and taken serious. He did not just talk to blacks and whites in the speech but he talked to different religious groups that as well might have been feeling some discrimination. The speech is very inspiritional and has gone down in history as one of the greatest speechs ever said allowed. It has been put right along side the Gettysburg Address.

dream Vacation

If i was given the opportunity to have an all expenses paid trip to anywhere in the world I would have to go to Ireland. I am a decendant of Ireland and i would love to see where my ancestors came from and try to learn a little more about them. Who i would take would be a tough question. On the one hand i would love to take my girlfriend and us experience that together. It would be nice to share something that is so important to me with her. But on the other hand i would also like to take my mother due to that being apart of her ancestory. i think that my mother would appreciate it much more and would cherish the experience as though we were walking where our ancestors walked. Although most of my mothers side is Scotish we do have Irish mixed with that. the whole experience would definetly be something that i would never forget and would back to the rest of my life.
