Theatre Physics

I went to a theatre physics program that my brother and his cast put on for some extracurricular thing at his college. It was amazing, and very creative. I think it would be cool if some high schools also had this program. It would provide great theatre/performing skills for students, great entertainment for the public, and give something productive for young students to do.

Rendezvous

I always loved the word rendezvous, because it never made any sense. Why not just say lets meet, instead of go to the rendezvous point. Besides, it sounds cool, and reminds me of the Big Island Rendezvous. The Big Island Rendezvous is coming up, and i am excited, because of the commercial on the radio, "we look forward to seeing you at the Big Island Rendezvous".

Dirt

What would we do without dirt? What would we walk on? What could we grow? Dirt is something we take for granted everyday. Without dirt we would have very little food, without dirt we would have no mud. With out the simple matter of dirt our lives would be very hard. We should be thankful for dirt, and every time we eat food that was grown from soil just think of what we would do without it.

Um, Yeah

Well I will blog about apples, because i have no other great ideas running about in my brain. Today I was told to pick up the fallen apples from the trees and throw them in the compost. I realized while dumping bucket after bucket of bad apples, " How can there be this many apples on a tree". After dumping twenty pailfulls of apples, and after the fifth time doing this job, the tree still looks full of apples! Where do they come from?! I don't know, all i know is that i will never be hungry for apples, because there will always be a fresh supply outside.

Aliens

As a kid I loved imagining the little green dudes from outer space and loved drawing little cartoons of them in my spare time. A week ago I had a serious discussion with a friend of mine, about the idea of extra terrestrial life. He told me that he had seen an episode on the history channel about UFOs, and that the "experts" found markings on the inside walls of pyramids, from 4,000 years ago, channeling information directly towards the idea of UFOs and space life. I asked him if he actually believed what the "experts" were saying, and he told me "they know what they are talking about", " it was on the history channel". Just because it is on the history channel, does it make it true? No no no. Were they there 4,000 years ago? Do they know exactly what the markings mean? How can they be positive? Tell me this, where in the Bible does it talk about any living matter other than the planet Earth? God created life on Earth. As for me, I don't believe on life anywhere other than Earth, but I still like to draw the little green guys.

mass-transit

Wouldn't it be great if some of our tax payer money went towards mass-transit? If I wanted to go to a Vikings game, a Twins game, or even shop at the mall, all I would have to do is jump on the train headed for the cities, then catch the light rail or bus to my destination. Lets take a closer look at the benifits of mass-transit. Having less vehicles on the road, would cut way down on dangerous fuel emitions, reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and make people more independent. I believe that mass-transit would be better for the environment, better for the economy, and better for the people.
