Get Organized: Memory

My room is a total mess. Clothes, posters, papers, cables and cords all around taking up space and making my room look like tornado just hit it. Garbage would be the term used for at least have the junk in my room. Something needed to be done.

I started out thinking the project would take hours of time I could have been spending doing, anything else. As I made a dent in the cleaning it started to feel good and almost cleansing. It felt like I was moving on with my life and that this is how I would be able to start it. I may have been cleaning my room, but I was really taking a trip down memory lane. Memories I had forgotten about. As I would place them somewhere else or in the garbage I felt as if certain memories could be thrown out. Like they were a simple object, but that object had a story and its own past. 

The half-way point. I feel like I have so much space now that I should have just left the stuff there than try and put it somewhere else. Although maybe the emptiness in the room could be filled with new clothes, new items, and new memories. Getting rid of old memories to make fit for the new ones. New ones some day later on I would be forced to get rid of as well to make room for even newer ones. It makes me wish I could remember everything I ever did, but in a sad way remembering everything is bad. If you could remember everything you would always be being held in the past. Never being able to move forward.

The room is organized. I feel ready to start making it a mess again even though I am promising my parents to keep it clean this time. I guess we will just have to see what happens in the future.

iMedia: Breaking Bad

One of the greatest shows of all time is Breaking Bad on AMC. This show has incredible writing as well as amazing characters which are perfectly casted. It brings to life what no other show has every tried to do. Drug Dealing. With its many twists and turns that are almost unpredictable until moments before the event which drive its viewers to continue watching. It is currently in its fifth season which has been split between this year and next year. This year's half has ended, and all I can is that I cannot wait for next year to already be here. It has been nominated for 78 awards and won 32 awards, as well as 2 Golden Globes. Now let me back up and tell you a little more about this show from the beginning.

Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, a school chemistry teacher has an accident while at his second job at a car wash. After a recovery at the hospital a doctor tells hims he has developed lung cancer. He is shocked and scared to the point where he wants to hide this from his family and find other means of getting the money. While taking a police ride along with his DEA brother-in-law Hank, he witnesses a drug bust of two meth cooks, but one escaped which Walter witnessed. Later Walt finds the cook who escaped which you learn is a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul. He then purposes to Jesse to cook meth with him in order to pay for his treatment. It later grows from just them in an RV to an entire business covering their actions and more than just paying for Walt's cancer. They gain millions of dollars and are constantly going through extreme life changing experiences. 

It really makes you think about what you would be willing to do to protect your family from a dark secret you might have.

Best of the Week: Philosophy

Before starting Sophie's World this week I was nervous that I would very much dislike the book to a point where I would never read it. People told me that it was their least favorite book of the year. So when I began to read it I started to notice why people hated the book. It is a book that is basically just questioning everything that is. People get bored by that kind of stuff. It is not interesting to hear how other people think about the world, but we want everyone to know our own opinions. It's a cycle.

I on the other hand am very interested in questioning the world and philosophy and why things are the way we portray them as. So this book is starting to become a very important book in my life. To add on to the fact that it is always keeping you thinking about what is and what is not. It is developing a mystery to it. A man or philosopher is sending 14 year old Sophie letters about questions the world and who she really is. Creepy is the only word to describe that. Sophie some how continues to think about the questions in the letters yet she does not question why he chose her. The mystery really is, who is this man? That is what has caught my attention the most in this book. So during the week when we had a reading day it was the section where Sophie is told his name is Alberto Knox and that he Hermes his dog would be delivering letters now and not him personally. WAIT! The means he was at her house on a daily bases. Again, very creepy.
