A Wish From A Genie!

If a genie was to suddenly appear and grant me the wish of giving me all A's in my classes without the need to study I would be ecstatic!!! Naturally people would assume that I would never study or touch a book in my lifetime after this wish was granted right? Wrong....... I understand that logic; however, I would continue so that I knew the material. One subject that I love to study is anything that has to do with becoming a firefighter or stuff about paramedics. I would also continue to study stuff like medical terminology and pharmacology because that is all information that is necessary to know in this field. I would also continue to study because even though I may get all A's due to my wish from the genie, after I graduate school I will have no more classes and tests to be graded on. It is after I graduate that everything that I have studied and learned will be applied and if I only relied on my wish and never studied then I would more than likely be fired once I become a firefighter for not knowing what to do in emergency situations.

Okay, lets get back to getting all A's in college due to my wish. Let's say that because of my excellent grades I am able to transfer anywhere in the world on a full scholarship, I think that I would consider attending the University of Miami. Before I made this move I would do my research though and try to find the best school that focuses a lot on becoming a Firefighter/Paramedic. The reason why the first school I though was the University of Miami is only because I lived in Hialeah, Florida all of my life and just came to Michigan about two years ago; I guess people can say that I am a little partial to Florida!

Some extracurricular activities I would participate in would be a Paramedic club (if it exists) and a fire arms club (even though the school does not offer it). I want to join clubs that could further enhance my knowledge about the subject I am studying. However, I would join the fire arms club simply for my enjoyment.

Riding The Rollercoaster

School could sometimes make me feel like i am on a hectic ride that leads to nowhere.Lately I have been giving into my depression since my stepfather passed away and it has recently taken a toll on my schooling. Recently I have not had the urge do any of the things I most enjoy like working out or relax in front of the t.v. and let my brain vegetate. School has always been my number one priority but lately my grades have been going down hill and I don't know how to stop this on going slope of depression. It has been really difficult for me to concentrate and focus on the things that really matter, including my girlfriend. I am not sure exactly what is the root of my problem but I intend on fixing it. Every time I think of the good times we have spent with my step dad it really gets me upset that he is gone. My biological father has never been there for me and he is a dead beat. I sometimes wish god would have taken him instead of Mario( my step dad). When I think of it it gets me really angry and hurt. Life is spinning in circles and honestly I have been getting sick on things and running through the same routine. Life has so many ups and downs and it makes you wonder if it is worth living. Now a days people cannot let their children play in the front yards without keeping an eye on them. This world is so overwhelming with bad that it actually over comes the good and if you ask me I think that is very sad. It is very hard to trust anyone in this world including the t.v. God forbid I tune onto a channel aiming in the kid's audience to be talking about sex, getting pregnant,or even men being in a relationship and cheating or running away with another woman. That is just sickening.

Valetine's Day is two days away :)

Hello my people, I'm so glad all of you have been enjoying my blogs and spiritual writing. I know I have many fans and people are wondering how I celebrate the holidays. My girlfriend and I have been busting our behinds studying and focusing on the family. She has been so busy lately: helping me with my papers, cleaning, study, and pretty much dealing with my crap year round. She really needs a break and that is what I plan on giving her. In order to do so I plan on driving down to Florida and relaxing on the beach with some beers while she stays in Michigan and gets her break from me:) Instead of doing laundry for two she now will do laundry for one that week and when I arrive only will she then wash all of the clothes that I had packed and used. Some dirty clothes that she will wash of mine after her nice and relaxing vacation in Michigan from me will be: My bathing suit that I used to swim in the beautifully clear blue ocean in 90 degree weather, my 6 pairs of shorts that I was forced to wear because of the humidity, around 8 dressy night club button up shirts that I wore when my friends and brothers forced me to go the clubs when all I wanted to do was lounge on the couch and watch the game while thinking of her, and all the rest of the clothes that have stains on them from all the awesome Cuban food that I ate.

I will try not to call her while I am in Florida for I do not want to ruin her vacation from me and for I will be busy laughing, joking, swimming and drinking with my family whom I have not seen in months. This vacation that she will receive from me and enjoy also includes her not worrying about my bills for that specific week which will then accumulate late fees and double; however, she will not have to worry about it that week. I am so considerate of her feelings and mental well-being that I will take many pictures of Florida and not show her, and she will take many pictures of her fun time in Michigan and I WILL look and show jealousy that I wasn't included in her fun filled vacation in 30 degree weather.

Although I do not have much money in my pocket, giving my girlfriend the best Valentine's Day is what it is all about! And who ever said that I was a selfish guy!!!

Addicted to video games

Lately, I have been obsessed with a very entertaining and storytelling game, Max Payne! It is a very good game and in my opinion it broadens peoples imagination towards storytelling. Some people like books and others think movies bring stories to life but video games actually make you feel like you are in the persons shoes. Video games tend to bring you into the environment of the game. It could have good effects on peoples minds but it also could take it a little too far. Their are games that make people feel like they are invincible and they tend confuse reality with something as fictitious as a video game. Just because a man could leap in the air and get shot multiple times and take muscle relaxers to ease the pain does not mean people can do that in real life. Kids are becoming too absorbed in these video games. The point of these video games is to draw the consumer in and release them from reality for the time being, however, some games should be monitored by the parents so that kids do not simulate what they see in games. In my opinion, as a fellow gamer it is a great experience if you are of age and can differentiate video games from reality. People that become absorbed into movies should try to experience the world of video games because it actually has the gamer interact instead of just watch. It is one thing to watch but it is an entirely different thing to do.

There has been much speculation about the effects of video games and how they contribute to failing grades, unhealthy kids due to lack of exercise, and also social issues. Everything in this world has its pros and cons. Video games, just like everything else, should be done in moderation and also with the parents monitoring it. A person must not lose hind sight of the real responsibilities one has; video games are meant only for an hour break or so to relax and not to consume a persons life. Video games have become some what of a learning tool. They now offer many games and programs that emphasize learning and education and still allow the person to have fun. They also offer things like learning how to cook. Video games are the newest style of bringing writing and imagination to life.
