list of daily things I do

This is the list I have made for the things I choose to do. It will have no particular order.

1) play guitar. This falls under three categories freedom, fun, and belonging. The reason this falls under those categories is because it makes me feel like I belong to something, is a fun thing to do, and makes me feel like I have my own freedom to play whatever I feel like.

2) getting dressed. This falls under the freedom category because of the fact I wear what i want and no one can take that away from me.

3)  not doing homework. This falls under dirty power. The reason it does is because I have the power to choose if i want to do work or not.

4) walk my dog. This is under the fun category because my dog loves walks and I also like to get out of the house a lot more.

5) play video games. This would be under power, freedom, and fun. The reason it is under these categories is because gaming to me is where I  can just escape and do what I want. Its fun because it just brightens my day up. It is for power because if I do something I control what happens if it is a free roam game.

6) Eat. It is under survival well because you need to eat.

7) Sleep. It is under survival because you have to sleep and if you go too long without sleep you will die.
 
There are the few negative powers like not doing homework.  The reason it is under that category is because some of it is so boring to me and I can never connect it to anything but it all depends on the type of homework.

connections

I am going to connect high school to the rule of mao zedong. They connect by a few things:

-lust of power
-the want of attention
-the demand of rule
-wanting to be the one who decides what will happen to other people
- the power to pick what girls you want

These are all reasons of connections that I know of from high school to mao zedong.

At sullivan heights groups get chosen by people titled "popular" all the way down to the people titled the "nerds" which is entirely in there perspective. Personally I think that to be very cruel to everyone who is less than popular because they may have low self esteem or anything of the sort, no one knows what other people go through so why put titles for people, why not be equals. Something that increases and or decreases the tension between groups can very from a wide range of options. It can go from bullying all the way to being friends (scale of intensity of increases to decreases), due to this it will add or deplete tension which can make sullivan a better atmosphere to be in. There can possibly be outside influences but i do not know of any.
Different groups value different things, for instance what i can tell is the more "popular" care about there popularity more than anything also there egos. The group i am in cares about having friends to talk to, not so much of the way they act because the kind of group im in is a little less than average. A reason i have heard for groups to hate on other groups is these people are the ones who sleep around with everyone, to stay away. I honestly think that it would be non of there business if they do or not, its not your live so why care? My guess of there reasons are most likely around 12% because a lot of the times there may be one person who has a problem yet the others do not but follow like lost dogs in a pack.
Close to 88% is based on propaganda, rumors and some half-truths. The reasoning behind that is the fact that not a lot of things are truth and a lot of the time it is what one person has a problem and others follow. These messages spread through sullivan due to a few things, one being the internet via facebook, twitter, etc... second being in person. What stops others from learning things on there own is the sheer urge of acceptance, stature, popularity, or to lazy to learn themselves.

everlasting battle.

Since I did get help on the last poem I will write one that is a random poem about something relating to hotel rwanda.

                                           Everlasting battle- michael cannon
Time is in the way,
It is so hard to say,
That on this day,
I will make my life a better place to stay,
Due to the conundrum on a frightful night,
Where all we do is fight,
It just don't feel right,
That it all ends here tonight,
Just too much on my mind,
Guns just blazing by,
Im so scared tonight,
That it will be my last night.
Tired of being right,
I hope its the final night,
Where there is no fright,
When will it end?
Will i ever see a happy day again?

This poem to me reminds me of my papa who was very influential to me. The reasoning for me writing it for him was because he still is very special to me and even though he is dead he is still with me also because he fought in World War II and I have been told that the people who fought in it thought it would never stop. Trying to push yet always being at a stand still. My grandpa was a good soldier and an even greater man. For this I wrote him this poem for him to always be remembered by me.
