If I was a Spartan.

Obviusly im gonna be a spartan. Why? BECAUSE THEYRE BADASS!!!!!

The first thing id do would be front kick chief in the stomach into the pit of death and yell: This is spartaaaaaaaaa!!!!! After that my life would be filled with glorius wars and campaigns and Id be the king of Sparta even though no one lives there anymore, but thats ok Id have huge biceps, chizzled abs and a massive manly beard. Id go to war against Russia and probably win since Im a Spartan king and im a tank at fighting and im unstoppable. Id cut a bloody path around the entire globe without mercy slaughtering any who oppose me. When ive annihalated Europe, Asia and Africa Id just swim to North America because Id be in beast mode and id go slaughter everyone that wants to mess around and after I take over the world Id give our planet a new name: Sparta. Then since im spartan and i can clearly do anything id go to space and go to war against other alien nations carving a bloody path through the galaxy, and eventually ruling it.

Public Dispays of Dissafection: My Response

The purpose of this article seems to be to inform the reader of the pros and cons of cell phone use around the globe. The Three main points of this article are the benifits of having a cell phone with regards to if someone goes missing or is lost, if you lock your keyes in the car while away from home, and statitistics of injuries and fatalities involving cell phone use.
Now, the first Two points that the author makes are very benificial, however 6000 deaths and 500,000 injuries caused by distracted drivers is terrifying, as well as the increase in brain cancer by 25 percent since 1973.
Personally I believe that it is okay to use cell phones in most cases, and they are the best thing you can possibly have in an emergency. Movie theatres and classes however aren't the right places for them, and society does have a massive amount of room for improvement with regards to public cell phone use. Everyone obviusly has their own opinions on the subject and in the big scheme of things mine does'nt really matter, but I think that any cell phone use while operating any vehicle should be illegal, and punishable by death, preferebly public by firing squad, ok thats a little harsh a fine should suffice nicely actually. Public places like theatres and schools probly should be allowed to consider cell phone jammers, however if there's
some kind of emergency in one of those places then the person wanting to call the authorities would be in some cases able to sew the establishment. So while I agree that cell phones are the best thing someone can have for an emergency I think that people should work on their etiqette with cell phones.

"Still Alice" by Lisa Genova.

To be completely honest, Im not particularly liking this novel very much other than the ammount of connectins I can make to it with regards to my grandfathers alzheimers/dementia, so over all its just been really quite depressing and i cant seem to invest myself emotionally in the story no matter how much I try, because its pretty obvius whats going to happen in the story. anyhow heres one of the things I found myself connecting too with regards to my grandfathers sickness.

Pg 159 line 6.
"What was it called? Not mayonaisse. No it was too thick, like butter. what was its name? she pointed her butter knife at it. "John, can you pass that to me?"John handed her the tub of white butter. She spread a thick layer onto one of the bagel halves and stared at it. She knew exactly how it would taste, and that she liked it,but she couldn't bring herself to bite int it untill she could tell heself its name. Lydia watched her mother studying her bagel. "Cream cheese Mom". Right. Cream cheese. thank you, Lydia."

This passage reminds me of my grandfather, because he also knows what certain things are,
but will forget what their called such as calling snow white stuff. I suppose this isn't quite as
horrible as it will be when he starts forgetting who I am, but it's still very depressing as its
innevitable that it's only going to get worse.

Super power of the century

We were asked the question of which super power we could have if we could have any super power we wanted. mine personally would have to be to literally engage beast mode, in which case i would shape shift into any animal i want to complete any task that couldnt be done by a human. for example, if someones bugging me i can just morph into a kodiak bear like bjorn from the hobbit or a silver back gorilla and just lay a beast mode smack down upon them. Or if i have to go on a stealth mission id shapeshift into a black cat so i can creep around everywhere inconspiquisly. and if i gotta get across a lake id just turn into a shark and swim and get there super fast. This could potentially be a very useful super power and i think it would constantly come in handy for me.
