Entry #11:Keep it classy GCC
Like anything good in life...this blog has come to an end. As a freelance blogger this has been the most fun even though no money was involved! Normally the articles are assigned by the publisher which sometimes can result to be a drag! This project was a breath of fresh air. It felt good to air out some of my opinions and hear others opinions as well. I loved this project, I loved how I choose my own content without being censored by a editor. Who would've know a school project would be so fun. It was also interesting to see how others view the world outside of school. I was amazed to see people from France,Germany,Poland and Venezuela read my content. Honestly I thought I was done with blogging but this project changed my mind it re-sparked my interest in blogging. This assignment couldn't be more perfect. It definitely beats writing a 5 paragraph essay...ewww. This was a great way to use technology to socialize since almost all of us blamed technology contributing to anti-social behavior...so ironic. And remember kids #SaveTheChickens.

Entry #10: Existentialism
Many have their own beliefs and are labeled according to their beliefs. So much so that they make congregations. But what happens when your belief isn't labeled or grouped or even defined? For the longest time I had Existentialist thoughts. I lived by this philosophy and still do to this day However, I didn't know this was a whole philosophical theory. Many have their own definition of Existentialism and often branch out. Due to the fact that I have always thought this way my definition might be different. Existentialism is a philosophical theory or approach that emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will. In an easier way of saying it your actions decide your future. There is no destiny no path. You make it as you progress through life. I have always understood this concept. Thus really contemplating every choice I make. Kind of like a video game where if you kill someone or don't it affects the outcome of the ending. Many find this to be weird which I do too. When I try and explain this to people they often come up with the conclusion of alternate universes. This can lead to very good conversations that are very interesting. We all have different beliefs and not all have the same definition even though they are "labeled" as the same. Don't let other people dictate what you are and box you in. We are all unique and we should embrace that. Don't let a label decide what you are.
Entry #9: Pink slime
If you haven't already heard pink slime is used in food. That's a prime example of where our future is headed if we don't do anything about it. Not even the meat is real nowadays. If natural meat can cause chronic diseases imagine what chemically altered meat can do? Ewww. All of this is the byproduct of capitalism. The corporations want to maximize profits by any means necessary. If that means using all of the animals parts so be it. It's clear they don't care about us or our health. I've said it a million times before it's all about the money. Money drives corporations to do some unethical practices. But why cant the government set standards? Corporations have a lot of influence in the political scene. Lobbying is the real problem; The government has their hands tied behind there backs. Afraid of losing the financial support they cave in into the corporations demands and veto laws that might hurt there sugar daddy's. All in all we cant depend on our own government to protect us. We must drive these corporations bankrupt to see real change. #PutYourMoneyWhereYourMouthIs...
Entry# 8: How Many Friends Do You Have?
We have all at-least in one point of our lives encountered a "Fake" Friend. They seem to be everywhere nowadays. But in reality its our fault...yes our fault. We need to learn to differentiate between associates and friends. You need to re-evaluate your relationships. Real friends are hard to come by; making them rare. Most likely out of 100 friends you probably only have four real friends you can rely on. I would like to share a little story with you if you don't mind. I once had a best friend(Or I thought so) yeah I know what a surprise! I mean she was really cool we did everything together...such a cliché. Never in a million years I would've thought we would be strangers, But look at us now... Just out of the blue we stopped speaking. With no warning no nothing communication ceased...Until one day through a mutual friend we ended up occupying the same space. I had questions that needed to be answered. Our mutual friend was unaware of our past so she introduced us.
(For the sake of privacy her name has been changed, But you'll know it's you after the first sentence)
Shocked by this I didn't know how to respond.
(For the sake of privacy her name has been changed, But you'll know it's you after the first sentence)
Mutual Friend- Bryan this is Becky, Becky this is Bryan.*Awkward Silence*
Me- Its been a while huh Becky.
Becky- Ugh Yeah sure...
Mutual Friend- Oh you guys know each-other?(We both answer at the same time)
Becky-No!
Me-Yes.
Mutual Friend- What!?!*More Awkwardness*
Shocked by this I didn't know how to respond.
Mutual Friend- So do you guys know each other or not?Still shocked I couldn't respond I was sitting there looking stupid.
Becky-I don't know, I don't remember you. Where do I know you from?
Me- We used to go to the same school. mumbles *we kind of used to be best friends*
Mutual Friend- What a Liar quit messing with us! *Giggles*To avoid some more awkwardness I tried to change the subject but my efforts were futile.
Becky- Did we really go to the same school?
Me- It doesn't really matter, you don't remember. I mean who would even remember me. We only sat together in every class... Alzheimer's much?This was one of the most confusing moments of my life. Usually when two people who are pretty close and drift apart then see each other its like they never drifted apart. Not This time... I am sure we have all that one friend we consider our best friend. Friends come and go that is part of life; Or associates shall I say. Because if you aren't important enough to be remembered I guess they weren't really your friends (Which I seriously doubt will happen). If they're childish enough to not even confront you when a problem arises they're probably not your friend. Learn a lesson from my embarrassing story not everyone is your friend and shouldn't be treated as such until they prove so. But don't get it twisted I do not condone being rude to people but be a little more cautious about choosing your friends. This situation allowed me to really reflect and it's safe to say I only have 2 real friends what about you?

Entry #7: Fresh
After seeing movies like Fresh and Food Inc. I can't help but notice a trend.What would that trend be??? Peoples reactions to how cruel the animals are treated.#SaveTheChickens mentalities emerge from the shadows. This always makes me laugh. For some odd reason people seem to forget what a slaughter house does YES they KILL animals! Whats more cruel than that? Like Bruuh seriously! I doubt the livestock enjoy this process. These twitter activist always focus on how the animals are abused. Now don't get me wrong I am against animal abuse but that's the problem I am against animal abuse. Confused much? Allow me to elaborate. This all begins with your dietary choice. Simple supply and demand. The food industry knows of the demand of meat . This includes the Big timers to the mom and pop farms. They Supply the meat that YOU demand. "But like bruh I like meat what am I like gonna eat tho". Ok twitter activist let me enlighten you. To your surprise humans are not meant to eat meat say whaaa! "But like bruh its like #BulkingSeason tho how am I gonna get protein". A plant based diet can supply all the necessary nutrients needed to sustain a healthy life style. Now if you could careless about the chickens you little selfish goon; I have to inform you that not consuming meat can also benefit you...right up your ally. Consuming meat has its downfalls such as increased cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and increased chances of a stroke. All of this is stated in The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. Now if your busy and don't have time to flip through a thousand pages he says meat is bad end of the story. Sorry Immortal Technique but your dietary choice is associated with being a revolutionary. Not in the sense of saving us from the corrupt government but #SavingTheChickens from a corrupt world. Because in the end were all in it together the balance of the ecosystem is important. With the chickens being on Mengele's list we just stand around doing nothing...actually not nothing we contribute to the problem. In the end I can't force you to anything so do what you will just think about the bigger picture and how your actions do have consequences.
