Moving

For some people, moving into a brand new house would be a dream, but for others it is dreadful. There is a huge difference between wanting to move and having to move, and the people from the outside can't see that. Due to the Midwest flood of 2008, 4 thousand homes in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, were ruined, leaving over 9 thousand people homeless. Over half of those people were not able to move back into their home because of the damage. Most of those people had to relocate, some were happy because they didn't want this to happen to them again, but others dreaded the idea of having to move away from the home that they had lived in their whole life, or the home that they built with their own two hands. People from the "outside", meaning that you were not affected, and those people were sympathetic, but had no idea what you were going through. everybody that I talked to told me to be happy because I was getting a brand new house and I didn't have to worry about keeping up the maintenance of the old one, non of them thought it was that big of a deal. But I didn't see it that way, to me it was life changing, I saw it as leaving the home I grew up in my whole life, the home my dad built by himself, and the home where all my favorite memories were. Moving into a new house is going to take a lot of time getting used to, it will be a different layout, so I won't know my way around in the dark, like I could in my old house, it will be a new location, so I will have to remember how to get there, instead of going there by habit. But over all it is a new start, which I didn't want but maybe I needed.

From Fall to Winter

As everybody knows, fall is among us and winter is not to far away, with the freezing dark mornings and the early dark nights, we know that winter is near. The first official day of winter is December 21, which is ways away, thanks to daylight savings time, which is this coming weekend, November 2, we set our clocks back an hour and catch an hour of sleep so we’re able to wake up and go to work/school in the light.
However there is a downside to the glistening snow falls and the work/school cancellations, such as the roads get snow covered and icy, causing a lot more accidents. I can't bear to think of all the people who have lost their homes due to the flood over the summer, where will they go? And it will be too cold for them to continue working on their houses in the winter, along with all the other homeless people that sleep in parks, or under bridges.
According to some people, the day the first snow falls, is how many days of snow we will get that winter. Last year the first snow fall was on November 21, the day before Thanksgiving, and after that we got 21 days of snow, which added up quickly and broke the snow fall record here in Iowa. However New York and New Jersey has already gotten a blizzard and a few feet of snow. I’m hoping that this year will not e as ad as last year’s winter and not get as much snow, because then hopefully we will not have much rains in the spring and not have another flood.

JFK Conspiracy and The Warren Commission

I disagree with the Warren Commission because I do not believe the magic bullet theory, nor do I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK, or that Jack Ruby acted alone. I do not believe these things because it was proven impossible for the bullet to go through the neck of JFK, through the ribs of Governor Connelly, shatter his wrist and be implanted in his left thigh. Let alone that the bullet went through his neck when the autopsy showed that the bullet entered through his upper back (approximately five inches below his neck), and exited through the throat. And not even a dent in the bullet after all that. I think that there was more than three shots fired, one in which entered the upper back/ lower neck of JFK, the second one in the throat of him, the third bullet was the one shattering the wrist of Connelly and implanted in his thigh, and finally the fourth bullet being the fatal shot to the head of JFK. I believe that there was another shooter involved for the fourth and fatal shot, and they were positioned behind the fence of the grassy knoll. I think this because of the way of the headshot, and the way the head moved when the bullet hit and shattered the scull, and the way that the pieces went. I think that Lee Harvey Oswald was used by the government and did not act on his own, I think this because he denied everything and I think he was covering something up for the government and then Jack Ruby was hired to shoot Oswald to make sure that he would not say anything about the government. I think that the government did not like how Kennedy was running things so they planned to take him out. And that way more people were involved with it than expected, that is why people today are still questioning it. There are so many questions unanswered and the government can not find the answers, such as why did they drop his coffin into the ocean, what was it hiding, or how it was so coincidental for anyone that thought that his assassination was suspicious, they were murdered, or died unexpectedly, or disappeared. I think that the government never thought that the public would see the Zupruder film or the pictures from the autopsy, so they thought they could through together something for the Warren Commission, because they thought that the public would believe the government, plus there was no evidence that what the Warren Commission says is false. They thought that they committed the perfect crime since all the government documents are confidential, nobody would ever find out.

The Mayan Calender

I'm sure that all of us have heard of the Maya calendar. Those that have not, it is a long ago legend that supposedly predicts our worlds end that is believed to be December 21, 2012. Some people actually believe this because it has predicted some of the major event that have happen in the past, such as world war I and world war II, and the tragic day of September 11. Now the calendar didn't specifically say that there would be a terrorist attack on that day or that the wars would be the way they were, the calendar said things that could possibly be connect with these events, which some say are just coincidental.
There are more prophecies from an ancient wizard named Merlin, from the time of King Arthur. His prophesies also known to have the date of the world’s end of December 21, 2012. Which is quite a coincident because these people were not around at the same time and had no knowledge of each other’s prophecies. Fewer people have heard of Merlin because he does not have as many predictions as the Maya calendar. One of Merlin’s prophecies were that he believed that he could foretell the uniting of the kingdoms of Scotland and England under the person of James VI, (which was King of Scotland, who became James of England).

Global Warming

We are all aware of the global warming issue, however we are not all participating in trying to protect the earth. Some people don't actually believe that we are ruining the earth, but others think that everything that we do in our daily life is leading to consequences. According to some, the natural disaster rate is higher than ever do to global warming. There is more tornadoes, hurricanes, and record high waters. All of this is leaving thousands upon thousands of people homeless, and unemployed. So is all of this really because of global warming? Well, it is hard to answer, we know that the hurricanes are caused by a warm and cold front, as well as the tornados, and the midwest food that raised well above the record was said to be caused by all the snow that we got in the winter, and it didn't melt fast enough, so when it did it, it had nowhere else to go than down the river causing the Cedar River to flood.

This Blog is going to be based upon what is happening in the world today.
There will be comparisons of now and then, and also what I think will become of the future.
