So one thing that's been really big lately is 50 Shades of Grey. There are 3 books in the series and also the movie just came out. I hear the movie turned out to be a huge disappointment although the things showing up on tumblr can be pretty funny. Although i haven't read the books or seen the movie, i think i can get a pretty good idea of what they are about. A part of me is really disappointed in the movie but at the same time i'm glad because there created so many jokes about 50 shades of grey and they are all kind of funny. Some of which are completely not okay to put on a school homework blog. On a totally unrelated topic the guy who tool his senior picture with his cat is dead. Remember that? The senior who took a picture with his cat with lasers shooting all over and it became a meme for a while. Yeah he committed suicide. I don't really know the details but he's dead and that's all i know. Well today's also the Oscars and I'm totally not interested but with all the stuff in those goodie bags I would be fine with losing. Seriously. Little statue vs a bag of everything... it's pretty clear bag of stuff wins every time.

first one
Can books and stories about characters and events that are not real teach us anything useful? Well that really depends on what you think is not real and what is useful. I think that there are books out there that aren't true but still are able to teach us useful things but it really does depend on the book. There are some books that are completely non fiction with aliens and different planets and all that and as far as usefulness goes it really is all morals and less life skills. On the other hand there are books that take place on Earth but have characters and events that don't exist or won't/haven't happened yet. In those cases they might be able to teach you something useful like skills that you would need in your daily lives. So really it does depend on the actual book itself. Don't pick up a Shakespearean tragedy and expect to be able to fix someone's car engine by the end of the week.

numbah 8 newsy stuff
So one thing thats been on the news lately was the death of a Jordanian pilot named Muath al-Kasaesbeh. He was burned alive by ISIS and the video of his death was released. Jordan and ISIS were in the stages of negotiation when Muath was killed. I think how Jordan reacted was great. Probably the best reaction to terrorism. After the release of the video of Muath being burned alive, they executed 2 terrorists and sent air strikes to destroy IS hideouts. In 3 days Jordan sent out 56 air strikes. The best part is that it is rumored that King Abdullah II will actually be personally leading the air strikes and that is really cool because he is the king of Jordan. The fact that the king himself is fighting against IS really shows how capable he is as a leader and to what extent he is willing to go to fight for his people. Before Abdullah II became king of Jordan, he was Major General of the Jordinian Special Forces so it makes sense. I feel like being a part of the military should be a requirement for all presidents/political leaders because then they will really know what is going on outside of their offices. It's pretty awesome. Like a plot out of some action movie or something.

Umm can i do the thing?
Thoughts of a high school students huh? Alright okay I can
do this. This is doable. So what are my thoughts? What are some online safe
thoughts that I can type up? Oh I know! For starters personal projects are a
really really stupid idea and whoever came up with it clearly has no idea what
it's like to be a student these days. And what's even stupider is the fact that
personal projects are forced because being forced to do a project makes it so
personal. It's great that you're trying to motivate students and hey it might
actually help in the long run but it's boring and stupid because if students
really cared they would have done it themselves already. Clearly no one gives
two shits about personal projects. It's just more work that isn't graded and
with all the other projects that are assigned with tests and having to
volunteer and joining clubs so you can be "academically well rounded"
there just isn't time to do things for fun let alone do things for school that
aren't even that important so maybe schools should just stop with the you have
to do this and that. It would be a lot more effective if schools actually made
people want to learn about things. The standardized testing and pressure to do
well is a real turn off. Boring. There's this thing. It's like the peak of
performance for students and when a student is pushed beyond that point nothing
matters anymore because no matter how hard you try there will just be more work
to do and that never really goes away so you start cheating and it all goes
downhill from there. Who cares though? Just don't get caught it doesn't matter
anymore oh well. You win some you lose some. I blame the education system. Yep.
That's it. Thanks a lot America. Way to
ruin the next generation. What else is on my mind? Hmm today is the Super Bowl
but I don’t really care. Sports just aren’t my thing. I see no point in running
back and forth chasing a ball. Why are professional players even paid that much
anyways? Sports really don't contribute anything useful to anyone at all. Why
not take some pay cuts and give more money to people who are underpaid? Like soldiers.
They could use the extra money and their job isn't the safest so they deserve a
little more pay. You know what else is a really cool idea? I think it was the Netherlands
but the people pay half the taxes during November or December so they have
enough money for Christmas and I think that's a really cool idea because Christmas
is awesome and everyone should be able to celebrate it. If they want to. They don’t
have to. That would be unconstitutional. Yeah that's pretty much it except why
are there so much allergies? This sucks. And what's up with the weather? It has
been really jacked up like one day its
warm and sunny and nice and you're like wow it's literally the perfect weather
but then it gets cold the next day and you're like WTF so it's weird. Why?
