Reflections on Blogging

I don't like blogging because I never really know what to say.  I only blog when I am told to blog because I am not very creative.  I could not blog and keep it up because I would forget.  People who blog for money are actually really smart because that is an easy way to get it.  I don't read other blogs reguarly only when I click on one in google.  When ever we have to blog in this class I am always nervous to see what topic we are going to have to do. Sometimes I am okay with them and some I just don't know what to do. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day were we can celebrate the men and women who have and who are fighting for our country.  Memorial day was good because I got to see my grandma get the award for citizen of the year during the Westen Parade.  It was really cool.  I then got to go to my other grandparents and hang out with my moms side of the family.  It was really nice because we got to look at old pictures of when my grandpa was in the service.   Memorial day is my favorite holiday to go to my grandparents house becasuse we get to see all the old pictures. 

National Month for ???

Why would anyone want to celebrate unusal things.  It's pointless.  My guess is that nobody really celebrates them anyway.  I think who ever decided to make up these holidays have no life.  They must not have anything to do ever.  They just sit around thinking pointless things.  Somethings that people do celebrate are Mothers Day, Memorial Day, and National Family month.  I would not like to celebrate anything that isnt necessary to celebrate.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day  was a really good day.  I spent it with my entire family.  After church we all went over to my grandparents house and had a lunch and did some yard work for them.  It would have been a great day if my aunt wasn't grumpy.  But all together it was a really good day becasue I got the privallage of spending it with the people who mean the most to me.  I wish I could have went and saw my other grandma.  But by the time we got done at my moms moms it was late and I just went home.  So I plan to go see her after school today. 

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday to celebrate the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th 1862.  It is actually a big deal in the United States.  A lot of people do celebrate it.  The only thing some people do is eat tacos because it is a mexican holiday.  I don't think it should become a national holiday because it is more celebrated in the US than it is in Mexico.   The only thing that they do in Mexico is observe political speaches and battle reenactments. 

Yesterday was officially "National No Homework Day."  The creaters of this day were Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays.  It actually does sound like a great idea but I still had homework yesterday.  I spent national no homework day in school then after school I had homework so I had to do it.

Prom!

My thoughts about prom are that it really isn't that exciting.   It really was a waste of money because it wasn't that good.  I should have just went to after prom because it was more fun.  The best part getting the light up cups.  I don't think that it is important to go to prom your senior year.  I think that a lot of people do it just because it is there senior year and it is the last big event of their last year of high school.  After prom was a lot of fun because of the bull, and the jump house. 

Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day.  To me Earth Day is just a day that people celebrate the earth and participate in different activities that have to do with Earth Day.  Some interesting facts about Earth Day that I didn't know are:
1.)April 22 is the first official day of Spring in the Northern hemisphere and of Fall in the Southern hemisphere and was chosen to be Earth Day for this reason.
2.) It began in 1970 when 20 million people across the United States participated in rallies celebrating nature and decrying activities that put it at risk. 
3.) By 2010, Earth Day's 40th anniversary, more thatn 1 billion people in more than 180 countries around the world were estimated to have celebrated, whether by attending events or simply spreading the word on Facebook.
To celebrate this day people should go out and do stuff to help the earth as far as clean up or plant stuff.
