PPHS Mythology Refrences

I do not remember much at all about mythology. We learned about this topic a lot back in seventh grade. It was a very long time ago and I can not remember many of the specifics. I do remember a few of the gods mentioned in mythology though. I can not say if any teacher specifically relates to an ancient Greek god. If I had to pick one teacher that related to a god of ancient Greek mythology, then I would say Mr. Gilbreth relates to Poseidon. I do not know if their personalities have anything in common, but in all of the pictures Poseidon has a big beard and so does Mr. Gilbreth. Out of all the other teachers I am not sure if any gods really remind me of any of our teachers. If you went by status only then Mr. Ward could be compared to Zeus. Both are in charge. Mr. Ward in charge of the school and teachers, and Zeus in charge of all of the ancient mythological gods and is ruler of everything. These two relate to each other based on solely status of their jobs, and what they do. Other than this, I can not think of any teachers that would relate to a Greek god. Maybe the music teacher would relate to the god of music and the art teacher, the god of art. Other than these, I am not sure of any other gods. It was a very long time ago when we studied mythology and I do not remember a lot of what we learned. I do remember Hades, the god of the underworld. I think we might have a few teachers who could relate to Hades. I will not mention them by name though in this blog. There are definitely some who I could compare to Hades though. This was all of the mythological references that I can find in our school. I do not remember a lot, but from what I do there are a few teacher comparisons to ancient Greek gods.

Making Important Decisions

I use my own process when I make an important decision. I will first look at all of my options and evaluate which choice will turn out the best. Then I will make my decision. I do not always use this method when I do not think the decision is very important. I will often just make my decision off the top of my head, and not think about the consequences before I do something. If the decision that has to be made is extremely important though, then I will think very hard about it before I do something. I will make the decision that I feel is best after evaluating the consequences and what could happen after I make it. I do not think that I have to make extremely important decisions very often. I make small ones all the time though. Important decisions do not come around to often. When they do though, I feel that I make the best decision possible for me to make. I have not made to many big decisions that I regret. Although I have made a few of them. For the most part, I do not regret my decision making ability. Some of the small decisions that I make are not good and I regret some of them. They are not usually a very big deal though. When it comes to major decisions, I find that I will almost always make the right choice. Making important decisions is hard for everybody. I find that it will always work out better if you think about the consequences before you make your decision. There will be pros and cons to every decision, but you will just have to live with the outcome and hope it works out for the best. If you never make important decisions then you will never learn what is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do. Everyone needs to make important decisions and learn from their mistakes. I personally do not regret many of the important decisions that I have made over the years.

Multi-tasking

I think that I am a good multi tasker. I always do homework while listining to music or maybe watching t.v. I think that when I do other things while I am doing homework, it helps me concentrate more, and I focus more on what I am doing. Sometimes I will eat or something while I am doing it. I do not usually just sit down and do it and nothing else. I multitask a lot but I do not always do it. For instance, I do not multi task when I am driving. I do not think this is very safe. I do not text while driving or talk on the phone while driving, or anything else that could distract me. I think that you could really get hurt, and while you are driving, it only can take a second of not looking for something huge to happen.I like to do homework though while I am doing something else. I take this very seriously, and I do not get on my phone while I am in the car. I dont want to take the chances of getting hurt. I also know that whoever is trying to text or call me, can wait till I have made it to the place I am trying to get to. I think that I am pretty good at this. When I do work in school with partners, I like to talk to while I work. I have good grades, I am always doing well on my assignments, so therefore I believe multi-tasking actually benefits me. I do well on all of my assignments so I think that therefore I am a good multi tasker. I also multi task when I work out. I will listen to music and text all the time when I work out by myself. I am very good at this. I get a lot of work done when I work out even though I am doing other things. Sometimes when I do other things while im working out, it helps me work out better. Multitasking can be both good and bad, but I try to use multitasking when it benefits me, instead of hurting me.

My Favorite Meal (imagery)

My favorite meal is by far tacos from Taco Gringo. They are amazing, and I think that I could eat them every day. Tacos are by far my favorite thing to eat. I go there very often to eat them. Before I even get in, I can smell the tacos. My mouth is watering uncontrollably by the time I get my food. You can hear the crunch of the taco shell when you bite in to the taco. It tastes so good. The meat and cheese combine for an amazing taste. The smell is unbelievable. The tacos from Taco Gringo are absolutely amazing. I have tried tacos from many other Mexican places in town, but no others are as good as Taco Gringo. When you compare quality to price Gringo is by far the best. Taco Bell is nothing special. I think that everything at Taco Gringo is good. The nachos are superb, the sancho is also good, but the tacos are by far the best in my opinion. You can smell the place from the parking lot. The taste is unbelievable after the first bite. The combination of shell, meat, cheese, sauce combines for an amazing meal. They look outstanding when you unwrap them, and the sight does not disappoint. The taste is even better than what you think it will be. Gringo is amazing and I think that I could have it almost every day of the week. I like pizza and hamburgers and other traditional foods like that, but I think that Mexican food is my favorite. The smell, taste, sight, sound, feel of the food is like no other. It is great and if I had to live off one food for the rest of my life, there is no doubt it would be Mexican food of some kind. The taco is the best. No other place in town can compare to Taco Gringo. The place does not look like much from the outside, but once you try the food, you will find just how good it is.

Valentines Day

Valentines Day is an annual holiday on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The holiday is named after Christan martyrs named Valentine. The Valentines Day symbols include a heart shape, doves, and cupid. Valentine martyrs are honored on this day. Valentines Day is actually called Saint Valentines Day. The shortened version of the title is the one that everyone uses today. Most people do not know that Valentines Day was named after Saints. One of the Saints that is honored on this day is Valentine of Terni, who lived in 269 AD. He was one of the few Valentines that is honored on this day. Nothing romantic is linked to the Saints that this holiday is honored for, but some how over the years people began associating love and relationships with Valentines Day. It is celebrated across the nation and the world. Every one now associated the holiday with love, hears, cupid, relationships, etc. Everyone who is in a relationship with someone else in the United States seems to celebrate this holiday. It is customary to get flowers or something for the person that you are in a relationship with. The couple will often get each other gifts on this day. Some people like this holiday a lot and others do not like it. I am indifferent on the day. Many people love Valentines Day and think that it will make a couple even closer. Others think that Valentines Day puts unnecessary stress on a couple and think it is not a good holiday. I personally do not care one way or the other. I would rather have the holiday than not have it though. I'm sure that it is very important to some people and many people probably look forward to it. It is a nice holiday if you are with someone, but if not then I'm sure those people do not enjoy the day as much. Valentines day all began with the Valentines Saints. This is the reason that we still celebrate this holiday today.

Chanting the Square Deific Analization

In Chanting the Square Deific, Walt Whitman describes the square deficit and what the term means. Throughout the poem Whitman uses many biblical references and mythological references. He describes the four meanings in his poem. They include, Judgemental God, gentile forgiving God, Satan, and The Holy Spirit/soul. Walt Whitman is not very specific when he talks about something so you kind of have to infer to what he is referring to. Each of the stanza's have different meanings about religion and a different aspect of it. I found that Walt Whitman decided to write a poem about religion and the many different aspects of it. I thought that it told a lot about his personality. Whitman obviously cares about religion some to go in to that much detail about it in his poem. I thought the poem what very interesting and had a lot of meaning in it. I thought it was very interesting how he ended the poem saying, "Here the square finishing, the solid, I the most solid, Breathe my breath also through these songs" I think that this line has a lot of meaning. He finishes the square in the line and claims he the most solid. I do not think that he is referring to himself, Walt Whitman, when he says, "I the most solid." I think that Whitman says I as in Christ/God. The last lines obviously have a lot of meaning. If the I that Whitman refers to is God, then the last line, "Breathe my breath also through these songs" would mean follow me through these songs. It would mean, God wanting people to follow him through things like this. Overall, I thought the poem what very interesting and I thought it had a lot of religious meaning. Whitman made the poem extremely intriguing and even though I did not understand all of his hidden meanings throughout the poem, I found many of them and thought that they did a very good job adding to the overall effect of the poem.

Groundhog Day

My Groundhog Day went like any other school day. It was in no way special or ordinary in any way. I do not know if the "groundhog" saw his shadow today. But I do know that I am ready for winter to be over. I think if the groundhog see's his shadow then there will be six more weeks of winter or something, and if he doesn't then its almost over. I am not sure of this, it could be vice versa. Either way, I hope winter will end soon. I am sick of the cold weather. I want it to be nice weather again. I enjoy doing things outside in my free time. This is very hard to do when the weather is as bad as it has been lately. It needs to warm up fast. Last year it was not even warm by the time baseball season got here. I hope this is not the case this year. I can remember playing baseball last year in frigid conditions and the weather being almost unbearable to play a game in. I hope that it will be much warmer this year for baseball season. I enjoy baseball very much and when the weather is bad, the game is not as enjoyable as I want it to be. Last year when the team went on our annual southern trip, the weather conditions were very bad. It rained all day and the temperature was not over fifty degrees. If this happens again, I will be very unhappy. So, I hope the groundhog did or did not see his shadow depending on the meaning. Which ever one means that winter is almost over. I am sick of the cold, the snow, the wind, etc. I can not wait for baseball and the warm weather that is hopefully going to come with it. I do not think that I can take more of this crap weather we have had recently.
