It's UTOPIA! (Blog #2)

"Nobody knows. The feed is tied into everything. Your body control, your emotions. Your memory..." (Pg 170)


Oh em geek! I can't believe Violet collapsed, like she had an attack. I was so worried. I was so worried that after I read that part, I had to stop and breathe. I thought I was going insane. I notice I was too into the book. I couldn't stop saying "OH EM GEEK" and I kept flipping through the pages. Althought I was so into that part of the last chapter in part three of the book, once scene kept replaying over and over in my head. The scene was when Titus got his upcar. I thought that was so stupid. Just because he was feeling stupid (which he is stupid, well, most of the time)it doesnt mean his parents should buy him an upcar just to make him feel better. That was just so stupid. If I told my parents I felt stupid and they bought me a car, I am going to be like "You guys are not real parents." That also reminds me- it also shows how dumb Titus's parents are.

The upcar may be stupid but when Violet said, "Maybe these are our salad days" (pg60), it made me wonder. Violet said that when Titus and her was eating dinner together at the hospital. I think she is referring to those days when people didn't have the feed and everyone did everything on their own because all of them got hacked and now they can't even do anything without it so finally it was one of those days where they didnt use their FEED. Since, both of them was happy right at the moment, it seems like everything was normal and happy therefore she might refers it to that also. I might be wrong, but when she say "salad" it actually made me thought of how salad is compare to a day. Salad is calm, colorful, healthy and just a peacful food to eat, you can say. Therefore, if you have one of those salad days it is a good day where you actually do things by yourself.



When they were in the hospital, and Titus was looking at the boat picture and said that it was boring, it made me want to yell at him because it was a piece of art. I though that he was dumb. He was plain dumb yet he said that there was no one on the boat which describe how he felt right at that moment. He might have feel that without the FEED, he is lonely or alone. In class the other day, we were talking about how much Titus missed the FEED when he was at the hospital, and it made me realize that the characters in the book FEED is so ADDICTED to the FEED. This say that Titus is like the others where they always had rely on the FEED so much, that they can't even be entertain or they cant even do anything by themselves. I find that kind of sad. This book is really making me think that I shouldnt take things for granted. I also remember sitting in the classroom, and just thought that Titus is so stupid to the point where I wonder, "I hope this isn't going to be true because I like doing things on my own."

Utopia huh? Let's see if there is such thing.

Oh Em Geek! (Blog#1)

“I'm null too, unit."


When I first read the first sentence, I was super thrilled and still am. I mean, first of all they are going to the moon and they called each other “unit.” Going to the moon must mean they are wayyyyy advanced in technology. As I read on, I really started to notice a few things. For example, when Titus said, "We had the lesions that people were getting..." I stopped and was like, "A LESION!?" So I got a bit confused. I looked it up and it means "a wound or injury", and I flipped out. I was all crazy and thought to myself, who would want to get a lesion? And I can’t believe it is a TREND! That is “Whoa.” I kept reading until I got to the part where Quendy was all panicking about her lesion spreading. I thought that was a bit insane until it reminded me of TATOOS. Probably because it had to do with skin cutting. I don’t think anything caused them, they probably went to get it at some special store like, someone who wants tattoo or plastic surgery.Okay so nevermind about the lesion being a trend, during the class discussion that we had, the lesions appears on their own. So ignore what I just wrote. The leasions are getting real bad though on the characters.

The FEED is always be blabbing something. Like, when Quendy and Calista always changed their hairstyle, I thought that was unnecessary but it made me think about my surroundings and myself. We all always want the newest thing. For example if girls were wearing skinny jeans, we all wear skinny jeans. It tells us that TRENDS are still going on but it is more used in the book FEED because they get the trend right then. Still, the part about the lesions still freaked me out. I think that is creepy especially when Quendy had those BIG cuts all over her. They weren’t even cuts! It's like her skins are splitting. I thought that was just sick in a weird way. That got me thinking- what the heck is she doing to herself? Did she do it because she wants attention just like present girls are doing? I even question myself that. Not saying that all girls do crazy things like that to get a guy's attention. I think that is just absurd.



I wished to be on the moon for spring break. Wait, never mind. I think space is kind of creepy itself, after all the FEED already creep me out. I don’t think I want people to control me or just this chip implanted in my head. I thought of spring break as a relax week for me. This is random, but the "things" they buy is very expensive. On page 34, Titus was talking about a $789.99 tachyon short and shipping, that was expensive. What in the world happen to their world? Or shall I say ours? The malfunctioning is interesting. It's like future drugs. I think that is insane. Some things are helpful but some things are “blah.” Like what NicK Lee said, some things are useful and somethings shouldnt even exist.

Anyways units and unettes, I shall come back when the FEED isn’t calling me.

A Piece From Me.

My hands are moving
yet I cant feel it.
My feet is running but
I cant moved it
My eyes is looking forward
but I cant see anything..
the road is pitch black..
yet I keep running..
but I forgot that-
I left my heart along the road..

The world is turning its back to me
the world is crashing down
the wall is crumbling
the tears is weeping
yet i forgot to realize...
Im turning my back on the world
because I left my heart along the road

The pain is making me turned away
the stress is killing my veins
the chaos is making my blood boil
yet I cant take it
because I left my heart along the road

so my hand stopped feeling
my legs stopped running
my eyes stopped seeing
because its running back
turning back-
running to pick the heart I left along the road...
running back to the place where I first started

A Day Of MCAs

I remember the first time I took the MCAs. Been a long time. I just cant believe that the year is going by fast. That is, super fast. Today was MCAs testing. It seems like forever but I actually learn a few things from the stories or articles I read. For instance, one of the stories was about S.E.Hinton, who wrote The Outsiders, is a female author. I didnt know that! So that was new to me. I enjoy reading some of the stories. I just need more sleep so Im planning to sleep early. Go Patriots! We can do it!

INVISIBLE CHILDREN

"My heart is beeping for the Invisible Children."

It was a typical tuesday day during springbreak. Pang cha (my sister) said that I should go to the U (University of Minnesota) with her because her friend is showing a commentary on children soldiers. I was like, "Aww...I dont want to go." So she said, "You get a free t-shirt" so I was estatic when she said that (cause Im a freak when it comes to t-shirts). I was like, "Totally going for that t-shirt." So yes indeed I went just to get a free tshirt but I never realized how much my heart would feel to see such devastating heartfelt, unexplainable...I just dont know how to explain. For those who do not know about the Invisible Children, I should explain.

It started with three American Guys who went to Africa just to try it out. They never knew that in Uganda or is it Sudan?, I dont really remember, this "leader" call Joseph Kony, would abduct children and make the children soldiers. They are only nine to tweleve years of age! I know. I just dont know how to explain to you guys but it just made me cried. Sitting there at the U, just tears dripping down my cheeks. You guys SHOULD TOTALLY CHECK IT OUT.

I believe they are marching on the 25th of April. For more information you guys should visit the website:

www.invisiblechildren.com

& you guys should totally see the VIDEOS on youtube especially this one:

And if you didnt feel anything, you are not human. They are invisible because of people like you if you didnt feel anything.

Consuming in Cultures

Waking up to go to badminton at eight in the morning was actually tiring. I enjoyed badminton today. I need to work harder though and just chill when I'm on the court. So bascially, right now, we're killing a cow? Haha. I know, it sounds like we are animal killers- which supposedly you can say we are. My dad and my uncles are off somewhere killing a cow for tomorrow and my mommy is off somewhere to the store. I'm sitting here sharing this with you all because- have you ever though about different cultures? Like, what do they consume?

I know I sound random but I really do wonder that. Like right now, we're going to consume a cow for our culture. I know its weiird but hey I'm Hmong. Well, time to spent some time doing something else instead of being on here. I actually find myself addicted to this in some way. Good way to start!

A Day Of Finals

So I'm sitting here in geometry class, thinking to myself, "Fourth quarter is almost here..." Time sure is going by fast when we CONSUME THINGS. Haha. Anyways- WALL.E is such an interesting movie. It's really freaky of how they live in space. I mean that's just weird. Fat people on "couch" roaming around and not knowing how to work or do things themselves. Now, that is what I define as crazy! What are people thinking? And it's sad to know that all of us are relying on technology more and more now. One day if we we're to live in space like that- I would not be there. That reminds me, spring is coming. I know it is random, but the plant in WALL.E reminds me of spring. The trash that conquer earth is freaky. Supposedly this move was mean to show how IDIOTIC humans can be and yet I'm one them. It's actually funny yet surprising to me of how much we consume a day.

So on my last blog, I wrote about my technology journal and I realized that EVERYONE is a PIG when it comes to technology. That is sad. I mean, I know that we "need" some of those things but some thing it is not necessary? I used the computer almost everyday, I find that kind of bad. We humans are so contradicting. I know it sounds like I'm complaining yet I know I am talking about myself too when I am writing about "humans." I need to share WALL.E with my mom. She would totally be surprise. I shall have a talk with her after badminton.

"The clock is ticking slowly, sad. It is only 1:45 PM right now and it seems like the day will never end. OH YEAH! That reminds me, what surprise me the most from the movie WALL.E is the humans drinking food. That is so unexplainable. It's like what happen to eating? So then what do we need teeth for? Whoever wrote that movie script must be concern? or are they promoting a voice to us that we ARE GOING TO LIVE IN SPACE SOON? haha. Just kidding. Anyways time's up. Time to go back to classroom. XD
