When we went to the art museum this week, I thought I would be going to a very small museum with a few things, but when I walked in , I was amazed to see that there were many things. I was happy to see, when I looked upstairs a giant Buddha. Since Buddhism is a giant interest of mine, I wash happy to see it. I think I would of enjoyed the tour more if the person, woman, whom gave us the tour was more educated on it. Other than that, it was pretty good, and I hope to go back there very soon. To see the other pieces of art that are located in there. I am very interested in seeing the rest of the Christian and Contemporary Art Sections.

Leap of Faith
A Leap of Faith: A leap of faith, the air under you feet. Your arms extended. Your last breath. You never know whats going to happen. But you just believe. You never give up. You do what you want. You feel how you feel. You say what you say. You do what you want, because you believe that its right. You believe that faith will help you. You believe that everything will be okay.

Ishmael Beah's audience: Talking
While at the Ishmael Beah reading, I heard many things. I heard him speak about the book he wrote and all the proses in which it took. I heard about his experiences and he orally told the story of it, briefly. But what I heard most, was the audience. Sitting in a a crowd of hundreds and maybe be a thousand or more people, you can hear all the things around you. From the chewing of gum, a baby crying or eve
n the conversations of people in front, behind and beside you . I thought that for the most part it was an okay audience, but I could hear people talking about how they wanted to leave and how they didnt care, which really annoyed me. If you dont care,maybe you shouldnt have come. Maybe you should of stayed home, and did other things. I think its rude that man comes to a college and takes time out of his life to explain things to us and people dont appreciate it. So i dont understand why t
hey just dont leave. And another thing that annoyed me was the fact that people brought babies. I mean everyone can hear when a child is upset and no child is just going to sit there and listen to a man speak. I did not think it was a place for a child.

Monty Python
So, Mony Python and The Holy Grail , is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a very Sacreligious movie, but in good taste. It makes fun of Great Britain Mythology, ( King Auther and Knights of the Round Table.) But the Witch Scene, is one of my absolute favorites. The fact that they are that excited about casting out a person, to go and dress them up and make stupid comments on what makes a witch, astonds me. The fact they say, she has a wort, and she has a witch note, which they had put on her. But still insist on her being a witch.
The Witch: I'm not a witch I'm not a witch!
Sir Bedevere: But you are dressed as one
The Witch: *They* dressed me up like this!
Crowd: We didn't! We didn't...
The Witch: And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
Sir Bedevere: [lifts up her false nose] Well?
Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose.
Sir Bedevere: The nose?
Peasant 1: And the hat, but she is a witch!
Crowd: Yeah! Burn her! Burn her!
Sir Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 3: No!
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 1: Yes!
Peasant 2: Yes!
Peasant 1: Yeah a bit.
Peasant 3: A bit!
Peasant 1, Peasant 2: A bit!
Peasant 2: a bit
Peasant 1: But she has got a wart!
Random Person in the crowd: *cough* *cough*

Invisiable Children
Invisible Children: The Rescue from Invisible Children Europe on Vimeo.
Since we read the book, a boy soldier , I thought Id post a video since I am a part of a foundation, that is to rescue children soldiers. I think everyone should join the group by either signing up for the newsletter or even donating or helping out. They have missions all the time, and I find this very important and informational.
