When i was a kid i was a very judgemental person and i still am. I dont find being mean a bad thing because its usually the truth that needs to come out. I would always give dirty looks to ugly people or fat people. I would hate being around anyone i didnt like and start whining. My childhood was not very normal i was a crazy kid. In my childhood i remember ditching a lot of kids because they wanted to hang out and i didnt want to. When i hung out with a kid for too long i would completely avoid him after a while. I get tired of things extremely fast especially with friends. I was never being mean in my childhood though because i had two older brothers that were usually mean to me. Having two older brothers advanced my knowledge in alot of ways, mainly why i didnt even need friends back then.
One incident i remember was with a kid named kyle. My group of friends were musicians its been like that since 6th grade and still is. Were artists and we judge everyone badly. We had a friend kyle that we hung with everyday well atleast i did. We eventually started playing in our band alot more and not hanging with him. Eventually we ditched him and continued our adventures. I probably did alot meaner things back then because i was a little punk but that's the only incident i can remember thats appropriate for school.
I dont feel bad about the situation because in my life i have no regrets. Everything that has happened to me and that i've done happened for a reason. I feel good about it though because it was funny and being mean is funny especially if it isnt you who's being picked on.
People are like that because kids go through phases, wether its a punching phase or a screaming pulling hair phase. Kids are spurratic and do things because they are told to in their head. Noone deserves to be bullied but if your in that position its all on you to get out of it. It's only god testing your strength emotionally and physically.

Alchemist Review
The Alchemist is a book by Paul Coelho. It is a fiction novel about a boy Santiago, and his quest across the desert to find his treasure and meets an alchemist on the way to help him find his personal legend. I really liked this book because it talked about his personal legendand it made me curious of what mine would be. Reading this book will show you that there is more to life than just living everyday following the same steps of the day. You need to realize your goals and go after them because they might lead you to your wildest dreams. I enjoyed reading this because it also opened up my mind to the many possibilities of going after your personal goals.

My Mind
I have a lot on my mind this week. School is screwing me over soo much. I was doing good all year up until the end. I havent even been slacking lately, if anything i've been working harder. Now i'm in sheild which is supposed to be for your work but its actually keeping me from my work. Maybe the problem is that i've been playing alot more shows with my bands every weekend than i ever have. Im starting to play shows during the weeknights too but its the money i need and the exposure. To get where i wanna be in life i need to graduate and play shows alot. I can do both seperately but both at the same time is extremely hard. Especially when your put in classes that i have no interest in. I've always had trouble in school but never this much. The one time my life is going in the right direction outside of school, my life in school is horrible and making the goals i wanna accomplish nearly impossible. It doesnt help that im retarded when it comes to reading books and i am currently in the process of having to read 2 at the same time! While having quizzes nd tests on both every day, its outrageous and extremely hard to work with. High School is such a waste of time for me i just want to go to college already and do the work that really matters in life. Not this stupid bull poop. I'm tired of lessons that i already know and that have no significance to what i wanna do in my life. And to know that if i die all the sudden, all this work was just a huge headache and nothing more or less.

Background Music to Odyssey
For the scene when Odysseus and his son fight off all the suitors, there could be some intense music to set the mood. The characters are all of the suitors, Odysseus, and Telemachus. The setting is Odysseus' castle which he built with his on hands.
I like the scene because it has alot of action in it. It shows how strong and intimdating Odysseus and his family really is. It is inspiring in a way because he inspires people to fight for what theyve created or own. Yes it makes me feel really good because those suitors deserved it for disrespecting Odysseus' home.
A good song for would be The bitter end by Sum 41. It would just sum up all the fighting and make it seem intense.

Polonius's privacy problem
Is it ok to invade a fellow friends privacy when they seem deeply introuble. In Shakespears "Hamlet" this seems to be a big question for many. I believe that Polonius definately stepped over the line with this one but it was for a good reason. Obviously Hamlet is going through a horrible depression and its putting the lives of many close to him in jeopardy. Polonius needed to see what is going on in his head.

Torture in the old days
In the Rennisance period torture was a punishment for theft, treason, and many other things like murder. They were a lot more serious with punishments for alot of reasons. There were alot more poor people then rich or middle class people back in the day. The poor people needed to be controled and disciplined. Times were a lot different in Shakespears time.
