"Does this situation seem ethical to you?"
I was asked this question in my social psychology class and there was a heated argument between some students. I think people are confused on what the word ethical actually means. Does ethical have to do with whether someone gets hurt or not? The word ethics sound tough and it doesn't sound sympathetic to some one who is hurt. Do you go up to them and say "oh your ethics have been violated". That sound a little harsh considering everyone reacts differently to certain situations. And who am I to decide if certain experiments are right or wrong. I think that has to do with morals and everyone has different morals.

"You've been deferred"
So I went to go give blood today and I was so excited because I've never done it before. I waited in line for an hour but when I was about to give blood they said I was underweight. That sucked but it wasn't the fact that I didn't get stuck with a needle that made me mad, it was the fact that the nurse looked at me and said, "You've been deferred." After all the hype about "making a difference" and the "honor" and stuff it seemed to me like they could have come up with a better way to turn people down. It seemed really abrupt and shallow. I felt like a straight up idiot actually. It was like a stuck up way of saying "we'll pass" on you.

"involuntary nervous system"
For my brain and culture psychology class we learned about the brain of course and how some of it runs on its own automatically. I thought this was interesting until I typed in the word automatic in a thesaurus and saw that "robotically" had come up and then I got kind of weirded out. I began to ask myself how much control do I really have over what I do? Are we so advanced as humans that we are secretly robots? Is that why we always make movies about robots or aliens taking over because we secretly have a fear of us destroying our own automatic selves? The paranoia started to increase and I thought of the muse song uprising. "they will not force us, they will stop degraaaaading us!" Who the hell is they anyway? It's us I think and "we will be victorious" against each other? How is that going to happen? I guess by unifying us and them like the song says.I just thought this was interesting because we always say them and they and assume that everyone knows who that is. Maybe it is a part of ourselves that we don't like so we say "oh it's them" with an upturned nose. We should either accept the part of ourselves that we don't like or rise against. I love Muse

"Uprising" by Matthew Bellamy










Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)

Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack
You know that, their time's coming to an end
We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Improv week 1 the end of the weekend

I lay resting alone in my personal cell
with the clothes sleeping scattered inside
where the tv tells them to buy new ones.
My thoughts encircle like warring
birds waiting to chomp and bite away.

I pillow my head to halt the battle,
a slight warmness begins as the
biting hesitates and sets in again.

Three steady knocks. My eyes fly open.
I jolt from the sleep plot and leap to the door.
A beating heart saves me from the
foolishness of severing snapping birds.

"I would like to thank...."
This phrase isn't very surprising it's usually what people say when the win some type of award. But after watching the vma's it seems like the fakest grouping of words in the history of life. Yeah of course there are people who have helped you win at life but I'm just waiting for the day when someone walks up and says, "I would like to thank.... not god, not my cousin, not my fans but....myself".

Free entry Week 1

last night was the vma's.... I was looking forward to it of course cause i love music but it was probably the driest award show I've ever seen in my life. When people won their awards it seemed like they were happy but at the same time they were like "what the hell am i doing up here?" they would thank god and jesus who i thought was the same person but idk. I was just really looking forward to it but the performances were kinda weird as well. The weirdest was seeing chris brown flying around on stage like some black superman (while lip syncing ). And beyonce who decided to tell the world that she was pregnant at the vma's of all places. not the place that i would have picked but she's beyonce so i guess she can do what she wants. Other than all that there was a guy named joe there who was actually lady gaga. I'm a fan of hers but she just does too much all the time. It seems like she always wants attention and she always has to outdo herself and sooner or later she's going to end up with nothing to do. The vma's seemed like a huge ego stroking fest instead of artists coming together and celebrating music. and I didn't know britney spears still made music but apparently she does. so yeah.... I hope the grammy's are going to be better. Hopefully there will actually be people singing.

Calisthenics week 1

Smell: chicken on a skillet
1) smells like a summer day ending in a late wet sunset
2) smells like a walk down a busy street with no cars
3) smells like fall leaves that guessed summer was over (but wasn't)
4) smells like music played from an old acoustic guitar
5) smells like a late night famine that comes after absorbing baileys and cigarettes
