Last post ever

When I leave M.S. 51 I am never going to write on my blog again. It has been rather annoying for me to have to write about what I'm reading, what thoughts are in my head. I like to keep my thoughts in my head, where they wont have a chance to be shared. In some respects, I am a very private person, in others I am outgoing, but when it comes to my thoughts, I like a more personal approach, rather then electronic one.

I think this blog would have been a lot better, if I didn't have a deadline. Having the words, blog post due Friday, on the board every week, makes the task more daunting, then a way to expand my ideas and thoughts. If the blog was more free from and I didn't have to do one every single week, for a grade, then I'm sure it would be a better experience.

A question on Mrs. Rear's blog I saw, was something like, "do teenagers abuse the power of being able to say things online that they would not say in person." Oh definitely. I have been guilty of this many times. They don't always have to be bad things, but the Internet makes things so much easier to say things on your mind, because you don't have to think of immediate consequences.

Thanks for all the non - existent memories "Kentucky Fried Writing".

Just gorgeous

Lets cut to the chase. My book is about a Jewish family who own a restaurant in midtown Manhattan, and being the Jewish Russian immigrants they are, they always use the word gorgeous. Everything is just gorgeous to them. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. They can't get enough of it, and neither can I. So basically today, I want to talk about the word of the day: Gorgeous.

When something is gorgeous, what do we think off? I think of something that is not beautiful. It can be rather close to beautiful, but there is just something lacking from the whole word itself. Beautiful is an adjective that in itself is beautiful. Gorgeous is more of the word of the common folk, something that anyone can use to just describe anything. While beautiful is used to describe the greater things in life. Flowers, paintings, culture, people. Gorgeous is used to describe things like hats, and excessive make - up use.

Gorgeous is common folk words. It is the scum of the bottom feeders, no one will touch it. Soviet Russia wants to crush the word itself. It must perish.

I really let that blog post leave my grasp as well.
