Life in the future

The movie Bicentennial Man, based on the novel from 1976 shows the 21st century consists of robot servants, high technology hospitals, ect. The misconception we have of the future is immense. If I were given the chance to travel to another era, I would choose the future, just to see how much time it will take us to achieve the future we seek. I find it would be very funny to see how many times the human fails at their desired future.

The McFly way to go

I would love to go back in time in my own DeLorean as Marty McFly did in "back to the Future". Just think about going to any moment in time, I'd go to the 80's without giving it a second thought. It would be awesome because they didn't have a certain style, people would wear whatever they wanted cause nobody cared a rats bottom, people could express themselves freely. Also another reason why I'd go to the 80's is to see how my parents were in their cool years, how they acted and to see if they were nagged by their parents by the same things they nagg me on. Finally I would go with a whole bunch of gadgets and advanced technology to see how people would react to my iPhone and laptop.

I love the 80's

If I were to time travel by using a Tardis I would go to the 80's. To me one of the best decades of music was the 80's. Also I really like the fashion from that time including the neon colors, the strange hairdos and the awesome sneakers. I hope that if I did go back that my life would be like one of the many 80's movies that exist like for example The BreakFast Club. All of those movies even if a bit unrealistic still give an cool view of that era including the music, fashion and society in general.

Move Along

I was asked to write about my favorite song, the first one that popped to my head was “Move Along” by The All-American Rejects. The song talks about how you should always be positive. No matter what situation you are going through you have to get up and keep moving foward. In the chorus specifically it says "And even when your hope is gone move along, move along just to make it through" which means that even though it seems hopeless just keep going until the end. It is a very moving song (no pun intended) as it says no matter how bad it seems, things can get better if you don't give up.
This song made me open my mind and realize that we all should just move along and not only that but help your peers along the way. To me it feels as if the singer (Tyson Ritter) is singing to a friend and telling him that he is strong. When he says "your hands are mine to hold, speak to me" to me it feels as if he is saying "you can lean on me, I'll be right by your side and you can trust me with everything and anything". It's not only an inspirational song but also a friendship song as it shows that true friends will do anything for each other.

My favorite song...

My favorite song has for some time now been Behind Closed Doors, by Rise Against. This band is, as it is, of revolutionary tendencies, and, since I love the messages given although sometimes crudely, I realize that I have a very deep rooted desire for revolution, although not in the sense of civil war as much as the radical changes it involves.

This song speaks about how the author will not remain behind closed doors, that he will break out, that despite having no obligation to fight, he refuses to give in, to give up... I relate this to how many people are feeling trapped and oppressed by today's society, trapped in the routine, in the need to survive and not thrive... and so as far as I can see, this song is a call to break out of routine, to fight to do more than just surviving, a call to LIVE, even if it means breaking through obstacles in order to do so...

Here are the lyrics to Behind Closed Doors:

Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but,
We're not running, we're not running.

There's a point I think we're missing,
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
In the smiles we cast each other,
My sister, my brother.

About the time we gave up hoping
We'd ever find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
The hurt we feel, we all have earned.

The lines we cross in search of change,
But all they see is treason.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors.

Bonfires burn like beacons,
Guiding the lost and weakened.
Flames dance on crashing waves,
Guiding ships who've gone astray

Time out, let's stop and think this through,
We've all got better things to do,
Than talk in circles, run in place,
Answers {are} inches from our face.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors.

Black eyes, broken fingers,
Blood drips and I let it run
Down my lips into my swollen gums.
When hope is non-existent,
Our instincts all scream "Run",
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors.

If I Were a Girl...

Waking up to see that I have been turn into a girl would be a shock at first. After thinking a little I would come to the conclusion that I have to take this opportunity and make the best of it and try to experience what it feels to be a woman from all aspects. It would be curious to experience how men treat women, see how girls actually treat and feel between them and finally I would see how much power my looks grant me.

If I were a boy - Introduction

In the 21st century gentlemen are almost impossible to find. If I had to be a boy for, I would do my best to be a gentlemen. If the way girls see boys changes then numerous problems could be evaded, changing society for the better. Violence and divorce rates would go down as well. Society depends on the relationship between boys and girls.

If I were a boy...

If I were to wake up one morning and find out I turned into a boy I would probably cry my eyes out (which wouldn't seem very masculine) like their is no tomorrow. After I'm done crying like a baby I'd have to figure out how to change my ways so I could fit the "guy" image. I'd have to find a way to be accepted by society as a guy, which include being less flamboyant, not expressing my feelings as much and be expected to give women a certain or more amount of respect.
