Culture

2013-05-21T00:06:00.001-07:00

One of the hardest things to define. Even more when you live with two different ones at the same time. You go out and see a world that is completely different than that of which is at home. You are torn between two different worlds, societies,cultures, worlds. You can never join one side because you have the other side weighing you down. You can't be accepted. It just can't happen. You have to know Laura and Oprah. You have to know about Los tigers del Norte and about the Rolling Stones. You have to know Spanish and English and they are never perfect. But you know what? That's who I am. A person torn a apart from two different societies. That's what I love.

Being born and growing up in America, although being at home it is like I am in Mexico, it has allowed me to connect to two diffrent worlds. I can join in on a conversation about America and pop culture here. And at the same time and maybe even the same conversation I can have a discussion about pop culture about Mexico. The only thing is that the native people of each country will never accept me for who I am. I can never belong to one. World Cup: I get to cheer for two countries.

the moon

2013-04-18T23:17:00.000-07:00

there is a face on the moon that i visible by the naked eye. and when its full and on the horizon it looks amazing.but did you know that the moon is actually rotating on an axis, just like planet earth, while it is orbiting the around the earth?want to know why the face of the moon is the only side we see? well here is why. Earth has a rotational period of 24 hours. so each hemisphere can get equal number of light from the sun. the earth's orbit period is about 365 days. that the amount of time it takes the earth to rotate around the sun.(keep that in mind). Now the moon, has a rotational period of about 27 days, its orbital period is about 27 days. so when the moon is opposite of the sun and is very bright we will always see the same face, and when the moon is dark it will be closer to the sun so the moons own shadow from the sun prevents us from seeing the other side.its not a big mystery, but just a random fact many people may ask.

Organs

2013-04-15T16:45:00.001-07:00

Wow, just learned some even more crazy stuff.aparrantly as a fetus in the womb we have both sets of sex organs the male and female. And if our body does not produce. Certain hormone at a certain time our organs began to develop into the female organs. But if it does begin to develop then the organs develop into the make internal sex organs.the two type of systems are called müllerian system (for the female sex organs ) and wolffian system( male sex organs). So it goes into much more detail but that is pretty much the summation of what goes on.naturally a fetus wants to be a girl, but certain hormone does not allow for it.

Sleep

2013-04-09T10:00:00.001-07:00

Wow. Sleep is crazy, it's hard to explain, but the there are 4 stages of sleep, stage 1,2,3,4 and REM sleep. Your brain is most active in REM sleep. You go through the whole sleep cycle every 90 minutes, every 90 minutes you wake up and then immediately fall back asleep. As the night progresses, you do not enter 3rd or 4th cycle, you'll go into REM sleep.
REM sleep (described as rapid eye movement) is when the brain consolidating all the material that it has seen and Experienced. Baby's sleep in REM about 2/3 of the day. So as you can see sleeping is good for you, it allows for the mind to refresh it self and store all the things you experienced throughout the day. Most of the mind is being used while sleeping, even more than being awake.your body does go into a state of paralysis that allows it to relax and let the mind refresh.

Graduating

2013-03-14T01:10:00.001-07:00

Wow is school hard. But here's a secret to graduation: time management. There people working full time and going to school. They did it by managing their time. If you have all the time in the world and don't do anything, then your time is wasted. When it comes to school, you have to manage the time you have which would be about 18 hours, you have class and after class you have hw. If you don't have hw, then study your notes, yeah right as if you'll ever want to do that. But doing that helps you retain information better. The secret to graduation is making time to review, study,read the course material no matter what it is. It also helps to explain it to someone because if you can teach it then that usually means you know it.
Good luck.

High school graduation

2012-11-13T10:07:00.001-08:00

Kids work hard for four years waking up at 8 AM and leaving school at 3 pm about 7 hours in an institution. There under the confines of teachers , principals and campus security. High school is the closest thing to prison ,only with out the guns (at least some schools don't have guns) . Teens are taught to laugh, taunt, brag, interact socially ,ignore those that are not considered popular or weird. An institution where its the "smart" and "good looking" that get recognized. Where those who seek attention will get it although then do not deserve it. And institution where teachers don't necessarily teach but expect you to memorize words and be able to remember their meaning for a test. Where dates are simply just dates and have no other significant meaning for example September 11,2001 the day two massive structures were struck by planes and collapse killing almost 3 thousand people.
High school an institution where teachers hold the hands of children so they can pass and high school can keep their budget for next year whereas the child doesn't really learn anything but is only able to recite what he has memorized. Mist children are not taught critical thinking which is essential for higher education.

how do eye contacts work?

2012-11-01T23:11:00.000-07:00

have you ever wondered how contacts actually worked?
well first off lets begin with your eye.
Your eye is shaped a specific way. The light get enters the eye making you see. Being far visioned or near vision only means that the light is not being reflected correctly. So with the help of glasses , which are glass bent inti a specific degree to help bend the light that enters your eye, you are able to see perfectly whatever your handy cap is. The same goes with contact lenses there made of a specific substance that is not rough on the eye so it won't damage it ,but it is also durable . But instead of the light being refracted by a piece of glass is being bent by the out layer of the lens ,there for allowing you to see .

facebook is crap

2012-10-30T23:38:00.000-07:00

Facebook is no longer what it used to be. it used to be the near perfect way to stay in touch with your college friends and families and such. But now kids are using it, preteens that only use it for attention. its sad to see preteens have such a public life yet they hate it since there is always drama around them. That what I've been seeing around Facebook. people post their whole lives for everyone to see, people fight with their loved ones, people instigate quarrels, have pictures of them committing a crime, taking provocative photos and receiving messages and friend request from creeps. I find it funny how stupid can be. Just like the Mexican system is "Guilty, until proven innocent." Well same goes for people "Stupid, until proven otherwise."
it doesn't help it make it more entertaining with everyone posting statuses saying"like my status" or the cooler shorter version "LMS" or people sharing the same picture over and over and over and over and over again (see what i mean?)
im just tired of seeing that crap. if you want to share and like photos go on tumblr.com thats exactly what that site if for.
Facebook is a networking site to catch up with your friends, not really for sharing funny pictures asking random people and friends to "like" a certain picture just because you ask them too.
for shame.

facebook is the devil! (unedited)

2012-10-28T23:19:00.000-07:00

ever get fired, dumped, or ignored because of a posting on Facebook?
Well here's a simple solution that can be done:
People don't realize it yet but Facebook is the evil.It can become a way for people to keep an stalk and keep an eye you. People make it easier for stalkers, people who do background checks, and even private investigators to know vital information about you, Facebook makes their lives easier becuase people post their whole life on the internet for the whole world to see, And once it has been posted it will be there forever (at least as long as the internet exist).these post can become available for everyone to see. People add thousands of people that they have never even met for no particular reason.Some users even post pictures of them doing illegal activities,things that can jeopardize jobs, relationships, even health.But do not fret! there is a way to prevent most of these things!*

there's a way for you to not cause any harm to your life via Facebook and there answer is simple: two accounts. one account is essentially a play account where you continue your way of life with no worries, and another that is strictly professional where no illegal or unfaithful's activities occur. Your "play" account you do not use your full name, you can use your real first name but the last name should consist of only the first 3 letter or maybe even two. make your profile as private as possible and simple also. having only one profile photo and not many likes can even show you look like an angel. essentially, it would be a dummy account so you don't risk causing any harm on your life via Facebook.

The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

2012-10-04T11:49:00.001-07:00

In my polysci class we were discussing this book. And my God is it interesting. It talked about how a ruler should be strong like lion and smart like a fox. A ruler should be religious but to not practice it because being religious makes a ruler weak. A ruler should only kill when justified . How a ruler should have power over everything. A ruler should be feared and respected. If his people hate him then he won't have any power over them.
This all seems complicated but I think it makes sense. Don't you?

Cancer suck pt3.

2012-09-15T00:14:00.001-07:00

i over heard my mother talking to my uncle Tony (her brother) in mexico the other day. she started off with small talk, how is it going? and if he remembered me (which he did, he last saw me when i was 4). she got the the point where she was trying to tell my uncle about Alicia. she couldn't tell him. she was chocking up, all she could do was clear her throat.

"i cant really say tony there's something in my throat" was her excuse, but i know she was fighting back tears.
when i heard her voice somber and breaking up, my heart sank. she started telling my uncle that my aunt wasn't well. through invisible tears, those of which she didn't show but wanted to, i can hear in her voice how broken up she was to tell my uncle the grim news.

she goes on to explain to him that the doctors told my aunt that there's nothing else they can do. i couldn't hear my uncles voice through the phone but i can imagine him sounding grim, confused, frustrated, and sorrowful.

no one should see there mothers cry, i did. imagine your mother crying, fighting back tears, voice shaky, eyes red, sniffling, and wiping her eyes. all that was caused by something she had no control over. i once again plead to my fellow humans, cats, dogs, animals, and any beast of sorts to help out in anyway that you can. if you cant donate money (read cancer sucks for full info) then please share this on any site you can. i know money can be tight around this time. anything would litrelly help in paying for the plane tickets. My Aunts been through enough in her life, atleast, i hope, that she can leave this world in a happy and satisfied

Cancer sucks pt2

2012-09-09T00:07:00.001-07:00

Well its hard getting information from my mom with out her getting any idea of what I'm trying to do. I hate to ask people for this kind of thing but I'll suck up my pride for my momma . It'll mean a lot to her and that means a lot to me. And well if I'm happy I'll try to make you happy. I'm not sure how I would repay those who do help but I'll find a way.

cancer

2012-09-05T23:33:00.002-07:00

well my aunt has colon cancer and shes not looking to good. my mom is devastated. the doctor said there's nothing else they can do.she was in a slight period of regression but it picked up again and even more tumors have appeared. They didn't tell her how long she has, but there already getting my aunt to decide on her burial. She would be leaving behind a 14 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. She doesnt have much time left, for all we know she can pass tomorrow i pray and hope she doesnt, I want to fly my aunt and her family out her to the west so they can experience, it since they have never been, but the problem is... we are too poor to do so. With your help you can help out in paying for her trip. The airline tickets is a huge bulk of the cost costing approximately 1,800$. My aunt's in her 40s and i want her to come to the west coast to let her experience beautiful San Diego California, before she passes, with her family. its a big wish, dream, and hope that I have for my aunt. my mom has been stressing out and quite franky i cant stand to see her like that. She doesnt meed that kind of stress on her health.ill record my moms reaction when we reach the goal so you can see the look on her face when i tell her that her sister can come see her before she passes. I'm doing this to hopefully surprise my mom and aunt so keep it a hush hush around them but tell everyone else! The more people that know about this the better chance we have to reaching the goal. My mom hasn't seen her sister in 4 years and before that 13 years. Basically my whole life. if we can raise that much in a month then it will be asuccess. im working right now, not a lot, and ill help out as much as i can. but spread the word. anything helps. i plan on having them here a week so they can visit the beach zoo and sea world. i think thats a prety good plan. no? where else should i plan on taking them?
can any one help?

Obito Uchiha

2012-09-05T21:59:00.003-07:00

i knew that masked man was Obito since i saw him use his eye jutsu. since they figured out he wasn't the real madara. since he was the last uchiha that wasn't confirmed dead by anyone. Just look at his name Tobi: Obito they're very similar. his story is sad but whatever kakashi is better anyways, screw obito that cry baby. he couldn't get the girl, she dies, so he sets out revenge on the whole world. some one has issues. well i would be pissed too if i was left to die under a pile of rocks blind. but I'm just curious to see how he got out. it probably was orochimaru who helped him escaped. that's the only bad guy i can think of that's old enough to do something. but we shall see what happens with the power houses fighting against each other. its going to be intense. there's a lot going on and its all going to end pretty quickly. hopefully its good.

NFL season

2012-09-04T18:10:00.001-07:00

the NFl season officially starts wednesday!The giants versus the cowboys!! i cant wait its gona be a good year atleast fantasy wise. my chargers dont look to good but there going to have a good season.(atleast i hope) i hope the chargers beat the raiders twice and the broncos to shut those fans up. I do like fantasy football. im not an expert but i do watch key players to pick them up as sleepers. sleepers are players that arent big names or starting but still put up good points for your fantasy team for one week then you drop them and pick up someone else. you got to watch for players that are injured and not 100% for a chance they might not get the fantasy points you need from them. thats if your serious about winning every week. good luck on your fantasy season hope you win your league. i came in second place last year and this year im going for it all. my old high school destroyed the other team friday night and now im hyped for the next home game and football in general! as for me its football all day and night! thank God for technology!

summers over

2012-09-04T17:59:00.000-07:00

Well my summer was fun, i guess so. i worked all summer and slept. i spent my nights playing rs. yay me that game was adicting as a child and now... it hasnt changed really. my job is fun im still working there. and now school is starting up and well... its gona be a long fall. i didnt have a day off where i could sleep in as long as i wanted to everyday i was either working or going out and doing something. i also went to the zoo and sea world a couple of times. i bought minecraft , i feel a bit remorsefull on it but oh well. im also trying to play games on steam but i dont know any good ones. i havent really touched my ps3 in a while, sad to say. but wow rs has really kept be busy this summer. i only play that game in the summer because im way to busy with school. so pretty soon im gona stop playing it once again and putting it away till then. hey, atleast i didnt waste my summer... really.
but hey! my summer was fun. What about yours?

credit card

2012-09-01T22:46:00.000-07:00

im getting one pretty soon just waiting for it to come in the mail. always heard credit cards are bad. but its only bad if you dont know how to use them. duh! you gota spend what you have. and not spend for stuff that you just want becuase your able to buy it. thats how you mess up your credit duh. college kids out there with credit cards: only use it for emergencies and buy stuff only if you can pay it off in a month, you have the cash for it in your bank account or else you end up paying almost double for something you bought. credit is good build it, just be smart with it. being smart with the card will pay off in the future.
like me for example im gonna use my card to buy my books i have the money for them, but ill use my credit card to start building my credit.
if its your first card, then be prepared to pay a lot in APR. APR is s different way of saying your interest rate. if its your first its going to be high. but don't be alarmed! it will go down if you use it correctly.
to recap:
1)use the credit card to buy something when you have the money for it in the bank.
2)buy what you can afford
3) pay the whole bill as soon as possible or else you'll end up paying interest.
4)read the fine print before you sign for the card with where ever you're getting it at

GOOD LUCK & SPEND WISELY!
