My country of the year

So, tomorrow is international day. We are highly encouraged to dress up according to the different coutries of the world. I intend to be french tomorrow. Yup and I am watching Cats after school tomorrow. I am spending to learn french. I have the Italian book but the website gives free recordings for french. Collins Pharsebook and Dictionary website. Have fun. I will take pictures and post them up as soon as possible.

I love international friendship day. I love learning about the different cultures and knowing about other people. I love the diversity of this world. It is amazing how much we think we know and how much we actually do. I know very little about the french and although I might be dressing in trendy blacks and the hat they love to wear ( no idea what it is called).

I am going to study the french language now. I want to impress people tomorrow with my SKILLS. Lol. But honestly, international friendship day isn’t only a time when we get to dress up. It is also a learning experience. As soon as possible I will put up information on the French culture here. They are my country of the year!!!

Success as a team

Today, I have made myself very happy and proud. I have relised the key to my potential sucess. The key to success in a team is team bonding. I got a lot of work done over the past 2 days then in the last 2 weeks cause I played bonding games and now everyone loves the game Blow Wind Blow. It is basically a game where a team will learn more about others. And every practise we put some time away to play the game. This bonds everyone and energises everyone too. People will be more productive and happier and when I have a happy cast, I am a happy director.

Yeah. Team bonding will equate team productivity.

Self help??? Seriously???

You know, there are so many books and videos and who knows what else out there which  tell people how to do stuff. Like the Idiots guide or other self help books. I say self help books because they tell you how you can be a better person or how to boost yourself confidence.

I stubbled onto this channel on youtube Howcast. It is pretty god actually. It is organised and it tells you how to do technical stuff ( I would listen to all the technical stuff if I were you).  But then I saw this video and I subscribed. Not because I need it, just because it got really funny.

How to flirt?
How to escape a bad party conversation?
How to make a move while watching a movie?

Excuse me? We are the ones who have all the knowledge of the world. WHY ARE OTHER PEOPLE TEACHING US HOW TO PICK UP A DATE?

Sigh.

You know, we have all the knowledge in the world. We just lack the confidence to show it.

And yes, you can quote me.

Palin: at it again?

NO WAY. Doesn’t Sarah Palin know she was the biggest joke of the 2008 election?  Does she know that? This was such a dramatic election. I believe that McClain could have won IF Palin wasn’t his VP.

Palin is going to make 2012’s election another big drama.

Boy, I can’t wait for this.

What the perfect world would be…

Perfect. If you say the word perfect, you come up with your own perfect world. You’re living your dream. You’re famous. You’re with the one you love. Blah blah blah. I would be living in a huge mansion with 14 of my best friends in England attempting to make this world a better place. A peaceful place. A place where people hug random people on the street ( okay not to that extreme). We were stars trying to make our world a better place.

My ‘prefect’ place ain’t going to happen. No what I think would be a perfect world is full acceptance. To gay people, to people who are ill to people of different religions. To a kid that he likes art instead of music. Anything. I was reading this blog post about someone very against gay marriage saying that if we accept it we should accept child abuse and having sex with animals.

There are reasons why people abuse children. They have no other way to let loose their anger and people who have sex with animals….yeah i have no excuse for them but i don’t know anyone who wants to have sex with a goat.

I don’t know. To me the perfect world would be everyone accepting everyone and everything just the way they are. What is you’re perfect world?

There is Hope.

Sometimes I wonder if I need to really say more but for those who aren’t convinced read on.

No. You know what. I have nothing else to say. That short and creative video said it all. Don’t believe me? Play it again.

Global Isusses: The world and our imperfections

Dear Readers,

So, after a failed attempt to think of something to blog about, I decided to google ‘Global Issues’. I came up with 71,600,000 websites.I decided to try to narrow my search. So, I googled ‘list of global issues’. I came back with 70,700,000 websites and I just wanted to throw the towel in.

Global Issues seem to be on everyone’s minds. Abortion, homelessness, global warming, etc. etc. I finally found a website which has a list of all the global issues or at least I think it list all the global issues.  Oh boy, that list was LOOOONNNNGGGG.

Global issues are things that people around the world worry about. I didn’t know there were so many things. Seeing that list gave me the clearest picture of the world I have ever had. We aren’t so perfect as we think. We are determing what is right and what is wrong. We have no idea what is right and what is wrong. We don’t know what to do. We don’t have a solution to our problems.  That’s why we call them ‘Global Issues’.

I am going to try and blog about as many global issues as I can before I leave. I thought I would just let you ponder on the many global issuses and imperfections the world is suffering today.

Good Luck,

Cheyenne Phillips

Catholic priest:If You’re an Obama supporter, you don’t get communion

I was just reading an article on catholic  priest denying Obama supporters Holy Communion because Obama is pro-abortion.  Can I ask something? When was communion used as a weapon? When did that come into play?

I understand that the church is pro-life but dening catholics who supported Obama communion is ridiculous. If you ask me about abortion I have my stand pretty clear. If you have sex and you are pregnant, you keep the baby. If you are married or not, you have the baby. Now if you are raped, you can keep the baby OR abort it. THAT IS ONLY IF YOU ARE RAPED. I am pro-life but when it comes to tramatising some girl by raping her in an elevator and getting her pregnant, that’s a whole different story. It wasn’t her choice. If she wants it, she’ll keep it. If she doesn’t then abort it.

That’s only for rape victims.

But if you ask me about denying communion to Obama supporters, Catholic preist have gone too far.
