Kryptonite

Everyone has their own kryptonite, their one greatest weakness. Obviously Superman's kryptonite was kryptonite. It always seems like the bad guy's weakness is greed, or jealousy, or rage. Anyways, kinda got me thinking if people know what their own kryptonite is. I honestly don't know what my biggest weakness is, I mean, I obviously have several weaknesses, but I want to know what my one greatest weakness is.

Giving

Hey, it's Thanksgiving again. Do you know what that means? It means, giving, turkey, football, family, and black Friday. Now depending on what interests you, each item on that list may be more or less important than the others. But no matter what you like, giving should always be towards the top of your list. We take way too many things for granted and it isn't that hard to make a difference by giving. Whether it's food, blood, or even just your time, giving feels good. Now I know that some people don't have the resources to give food or clothing, but many of those people still give blood or spend time working for charity. In the end, everyone should give what they can.

My Most Sincere Regrets

To whom it may concern,

I wish to apologize for writing my blogs a day late, it was wrong of me, and I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Phew. Feels good to finally get that off of my chest, it's been bugging me all day. In other news, Chilly was finally fired today! Hip-hip, Hooray! Or as they maybe say in the U.K., pip-pip hooray! (sometimes how clever I am astonishes me) I've always wanted to go to England, maybe it's because of that crazy Harry Potter obsession I had? Anyways, that reminds me, I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 twice in a 24- hour period. In case you were wondering, I loved the movie, although I am kind of bummed out that the second part doesn't come out for another 9 months. Oh well, I hope it's worth the wait!

Hope

Hope is something that everyone should have at least a little of. When you have hope, anything can go your way, like any Disney movie would prove true. But when you are hopeless, like the Vikings this season, it can seem like the whole world is against you. Hopelessness is the terrible feeling you get when you know that something you thought was going to happen, never will. Hard times can make you lose hope as quickly as you lose your phone when you need it. But no matter how terrible things may seem, even a tiny speck of hope can make anything possible. When you're sick, when you're hurt, when you're losing your way, and when it seems like you can't do anything right, you have to keep hope, because hope is what can get you through it.

Holy Cow

The Vikings lost again today. I really hope they fire the head coach Brad Childress, or Chilly for short. Childress is like the little kid who really believes he can fly, but everyone else knows that he can't. When Chilly calls a play, everyone just hopes that when Favre gets to the line of scrimmage he changes the it. The Vikings are 3-6 even though they have a Pro-Bowl loaded team, which is usually a sign of? Bad coaching. The most likely candidate for the coaching job if Childress gets the boot? The current Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. The last time the Vikings were faced with a decision like this, they let the then present defensive coordinator, Mike Tomlin, leave town and coach the Pittsburgh Steelers. They went on to win a Super Bowl. But, you know, it doesn't really matter.

Adaptations

Adaptations are changes that living things make to give them an advantage in nature. Giraffes have long necks because they adapted to having to eat from tall trees. Or if there was another ice-age, humans could possibly grow a fur-coat to keep warm. But not all adaptations are physical, some are mental or social. In the book Night the main character makes a mental adaptation to his surroundings by blocking out all the terrible things going on around him.

Animal Instinct

The one thing that really separates us from animals is our ability to fight our animal instinct. When an animal sees someone or something they don't like they usually attack it. Humans usually won't attack another human unless they are threatened or crazy. Also, humans don't just straight up eat dead meat, we almost always cook it or let it dry out before we eat it. We also have the ability to communicate in many different ways. We can talk, write, type, draw, use hand motions, and other ways. Animals can communicate too, of course, but in less complicated ways. Like sounds and movement. Dolphins seem to have the most complex language though, I call it Dolphinese. I swear, if dolphins had thumbs, we would all be slaves to their tyrannical plot.

Furry Wall Fever

We had a band concert tonight. We had to combine with the freshman band for it because we only have about twenty sophomores in our band. Even though there are only twenty of us, we still manage to sound pretty good. But when we add in the freshman; look out! For the most part, we weren't completely terrible but there were still  
plenty of mistakes all around. One of the songs was named Black Diamond and it supposedly got its name when the composer was writing the song and happened to look up at a can of Black Diamond coffee. That's why this post is called Furry Wall Fever. Not because I have furry walls, but because there happened to be furry walls on the movie I was watching. I guess it worked...
