And So It Goes (2014)
9 years ago
hey guys, so i need to tell yall bout my weekend, but i dont really have time for that and my car tonight so i figure i wont leave you with a cliff hanger and ill post bout my weekend later.
so my car... well it was raining out. there was a red light so, as the people infront of me, i stoped. well i guess the car behind me dident see me stop? or wasent paying attention? idk but the point is, he realized we stoped, slamed on his breaks, i hear the screach of him sliding into me, and he ramed me into the car infront of me. the truck (car behind) wasent that bad, and the car infront of me was barly scratched, but my car was the worste. i could barley drive it because the bumper was rubbing against my tire. i drove it to a friends, then had it towed to a body shop. oh and i got all the info from the other 2 guys on the scean, and 2 cops came, and we were all fine. my neck is a little soar from the whiplash (i assume) and my knee hurts because it hit my stearing wheel, but thats about it.
so thats my car =)
my pictures... ugh ill upload them sometime haha probably tomorrow but no promises! i have fun taking and edditing them, but uploading them is kinda a hastle.
Peace!
so today i was pissed off for most of the day. during like 4th or 5th period, i was hanging out in my teachers door way. i was wearing a blue sweater. well the sleeve of my sweater slid on the door handle while my hand was resting there. the handles are shaped like "L" if that helps anyone visualize it. then, this freshmen tried to walk into the teachers room. i was obviously blocking the door. well first he tries to bulldose me over. i dident notice him until then. well i dident budge because, well, im a big junior and hes a small freshmen... nuff said haha. well i was like hold on, my sleeves caught. i finished my sentence because he was been rude, and he decides to power under my arm. in the process, im like MY SLEEVE IS CAUGHT! he dident care, and proceded, while the cuff of my swearte ripped. not the whole thing, but enought that my sleeve is now more loose than it was. i said "you fucking douche bag" while i stormed out. no one cared because we were in the learning disability center and it happens all the time. well i went and sat down, and started ranting to my friends about the douche bag freshmen.
i then remembered he has aspergers. no one told me that, but i know alot of people with aspergers, so i know how to tell. i then started to think about why he would try and power through me. i figured out that he though i was being an ass and messing with him by blocking the door way. it sucks that because of other kids ignorance, they pick on him, and most kids with aspergers. most of them start to think that everyones always picking on them.
i still think hes a douche bag. i know a riped sleeve isent much, but im OCD so the whole say i was reminded that my sleeve was no longer perfect because of him. but i feel sorry for him at the same time.
Peace

Although transcendentalism started at, and stayed in, a very small area of Germany, when it later spread to America, it quickly took off in the North East. It was a powerful idea that would prove to change the way Americans thought and even inspired some to stand up and take action. People like Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa were very much transcendentalists, weather they knew it or not. They shared central beliefs like pacifism and non discrimination, preached these beliefs, and took action to help promote these.
Transcendentalism has a very odd start; it was almost like a test run. Back in Germany, a group of Unitarians started preaching about our souls connection to God, and likewise, to nature. There were followers who related with this connection, but it was fairly limited. It barely spread outside a few towns, and took time to gather people with similar beliefs. However, with the translation of German works like F. D. E. Schleiermacher's Critical Essay Upon the Gospel of St. Luke (1825) and Johann Gottfried van Herder's Spirit of Hebrew Poetry (1782) into English, Transcendentalism spread to readers in the north east region of America. A few readers started to stand out when they made works of their own, closely relating to the beliefs started in these. One of which was Emerson.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was a Boston, Massachusetts native. Although he was faced with death left and right, in everyone from his father right before his eighth birthday to three of his siblings in their childhood, he managed to focus on school work, and made it into Harvard College at 14 as the freshmen messenger to the president. While there, he was distracted by teaching with his uncle, starting to journal, and reading a very large list of books, which is perhaps why he graduated in the middle of his class of 59. Later, he met his wife, Ellen, who along with two of his brothers, died from tuberculosis, just 2 years after they married. After her death, he was left with much doubt regarding his faith. He took a trip to Europe to try and rediscover himself. When he came back, he started lecturing about various subjects, contemplating whether or not this could become a career. He soon met his second wife, Lydia, who Emerson renamed Lidian, with whom he had four children. In 1836, the day before Nature was published, Emerson sparked the idea for a club of likeminded thinkers, which would later be known as the Transcendental Club. This club was the first of its kind, a place for transcendentalists to gather, share their ideas, and debate. He then met and befriended a man named Henry David Thoreau, a likeminded thinker who will prove to expand transcendentalism even farther than Emerson had. The Transcendental club published their first journal, The Dial, in 1840. This project was headed by Emerson, and encouraged many young, yet very intellectual, writers, such as Thoreau. However, 4 years later, The Dial, published its last issue. But, the message had already been spread. Emerson continued lecturing through New England, and even took a second tour of Europe. He published much more poetry throughout the years and wrote in his journal religiously until he died of pneumonia in 1882.
David Henry Thoreau was born in Concord Massachusetts in 1817. After college, he started referring to himself, along with others referring to him, as Henry David Thoreau, even though it was never legally changed. He, like Emerson, went to Harvard College. When his classmates received their diploma, he declined, knowing this was just ink on paper, or sheep’s skin at that time, and he had already gotten then knowledge he paid for. While at Harvard, he left for a small time to teach in Concord, and after graduating, he returned, but it was short lived due to the fact that he refused to punish children with violence. While back in his home town, he met Emerson for the first time, who upon making himself a father figure for Thoreau, introduced him to other writers with similar philosophies. He was urged by Emerson to start a journal, which he did, and later, selections were published in The Dial. From 1840-1844, he lived with Emerson, strengthening their family like bonds, and tutoring his children. He later returned a second time to his home time, where he was inspired to move into solitude to focus on his writing. With that notion, he moved onto a small portion of Emerson’s property near Walden Pond, which inspired his famous, and first, book Walden. While on this 2 year retreat, he ran into a tax collector who informed him that he was 6 years behind on his taxes, and when Thoreau refused to pay, he was sent to jail for a night. The next day, his aunt, to his dismay, paid his taxes and set him free. This interaction with taxes enraged him, leading him to lecture on the misuse of taxes by our government. This lecture was used in his now famous essay Civil Disobedience. While Emerson was on his second Euro trip, he asked Thoreau to return to their house and help his wife while he was away. He left his cabin by the Walden Pond after two years, two months, and two days to comply with Emerson’s request. While at the Emerson house, he published Walden, which was unpopular when first released, but is now revered as an American classic. After Emerson returned, Thoreau moved nearby his dear friend, where he lived until his death. After a long battle with tuberculosis, he contracted bronchitis, which left him bedridden. After a few years in bed, he died in 1862.
A more modern representation of transcendentalism is Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. Although he wasn’t in the Transcendental Club, or published in The Dial, King was very influenced by Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience; specifically, King liked Thoreau’s idea of peaceful protest, which is one of the reasons King is such a great figure today (Carter, 318). If he had lead a bunch of riots instead of silent protests, he would have spend more time in jail, and may not have gotten anything accomplished except deepening segregations roots, making it more difficult for his cause. Another good representation of modern day transcendentalism is Mother Teresa. Again, she was never involved with Transcendentalists directly, but she preached the same ideas of transcendentalism, such as pacifism, simple living, and the importance of God. Mother Teresa was quoted as saying “live simply that others may simply live.”
In conclusion, transcendentalism heavily influenced modern day revolutionaries. From people like Emerson and Thoreau, to Dr. King and Mother Teresa, the world wouldn’t be the same as it is today if any one of these people didn’t share this core idea of peace and simplicity. It’s this idea alone that forced people to stand up and protest, and it’s this idea that will continue to influence young revolutionaries to share their philosophies, and when the time comes, stand up and change the government for the betterment of their society.
PS no, there not deep fried haha. its a very very small amount of mashed potatos. haha but there awsome and served cold

so i was in the car with my dad and we drove by an anti-gay marriage picket thing. it was on the side of the road. they were holding sighns saying "honk if your against gay marriage" or "honk if a marriage=1 man +1 woman"
all i heard were horns
my dad told me his views on that have changed sence he was a kid now that its become prevalent. he feels that as long as no one is showing excessive PDA, thats gays or straights, than its fine to be legally married. i feel the same way. i dont like it when i see two people hooking up on the side of the road, i dont care what sex either of you are!
im kinda pissed off now.
the funny thing is the protesters all had ashes on their heads. i wonder if any of them even knew what it stood for. ashes are an outward sighn of hope for eternal life. how wil you achieve that by bashing people?
if my dad wasent in the car, shit would have gona down, especialy if i was stoped at the light they were at the corner of. wouldent have been good for them
PEACE!!! (ironic haha)

i really wanted to, so i could feel less alone, and same for him, but i was talking to my friend later who brought to my attention that he could be into me. she was right. it was that awkward crush feeling. im not into him. nothing against him, but hes too comical for me. i want someone more serious.
