modern moment

Five years ago people wrote because became easier to get your thoughts out with the evolution of the internet. Now when you look up someone ones work from this area it usually goes like this. OMG #JB, eating fries gonna get fat. 5 years ago we had more meaning in our writings. There are some that still uses the ability to get their work viewed instantly to the fulliest. But just as the invention of the camera phone, we are becoming mindless like in Fahrenheit 451 society.

ESSAY POSTGAME ANALYSIS

Memory

The point of the journal write was to think about the past and see if we can go to the attic and dust out an old memory. My was both my fourth birthday and the memory of the memory that I couldn't remember anything from the day before, I am not BSing! But a memory doesn't have to be 13 years ago, it can be 5 years ago. I'm talking about my experiences at Jr.high. I was reminded of those emotions from a song that came on from shuffle on my iPod that I use to listen to all the time. I was really fat and really antisocial. I blamed the two on each other that kept making a never ending cycle. I'm fat because I have no life, I have no life because I am to fat. Over and over it went. my nickname throughout jr.high was vito. Look up Viva la Bam to get the joke. Not until sophomore year I change my weight and became what I look like today. Even though I weight the same as I did back then, I am mostly muscle now. Back then I was 60% fat, my science teacher had a chart with height and weight and I was either in nearly obese or obese. My appearance change but I realize you can change your body all you want. But your character stays the same. That's my I stick to the corner, and rarely say a thing. You can tell I don't talk a lot on how my speech had degraded. Here's a poem I wrote in eight grade, even though the ending seemed cheery, I wrote that so I wouldn't be considered a emo. After it is the song that reminded me of all of this.

I believe when you say
I am worthless
Not meant to stay
While others step out into the light of day
