2+2=22

     Right now I'm on writer's block in the computer lab trying o come up with something to write on this blog. On my left I see Kyle playing a boxheads game because he's "done" with his blog. He wants me to play the game too because it's a 2 player game.
  Kyle: Phanha I need help! I need help
  1 minute later
  Kyle:OH GOD, dude I just got raped.
  Phanha: That's nice kyle.
  Kyle: I'm blaming this on you.

  I like how I'm still typing this right now and he has no idea. I'm just gonna keep using what he says to write my blog.
OH NO I've been discovered.
  Phanha: Kyle keep saying stuff.
  Kyle:BOOM! BOOM! Oh no! Wait I'm still alive! I am still alive!
I got raped. I got beat up by a bunch of zombies.
  I think to myself why he's so lame.
Then I turn around behind me and hear
  Steven: Ew gross!
  Serena: (insert her laugh here)
Mr. Mann starts speaking and tells the class that they should never be playing games in class. So Kyle feeling guilty, clicks out of boxheads 2play game.

Plastic Waste

     This video made me want to get up and do something, but if I can't get enough people in the world to recycle,  then me recycling won't make a difference. Unless you could get a very good recycling system that had as many recycle bins, as trash cans in every building IN THE WORLD. Every school, office building, home, etc would have as many recycling CANS as they would trashcans.
     I'm sure I'm not the first person to come up with this idea, but I've started seeing more recycling around some schools. At my middle school we had recycling bins in every classroom. But after we came to high school there was rarely any recycling bins anywhere in the school. More schools and every other building need more recycle bins. Humans are disgusting creatures. Think about what you eat and where it came from. How much trash 1 average person produces a day, month, year, or even lifetime.
     Every 5 minutes, there are millions of plastic bottles alone, thrown away into the trash can, instead of being recylced. If you could show more people around the world this video, at least 1 % might try to make a difference and recycle their bottles. I've stopped using plastic bottles, and bought a reusable metal bottle.

War Isn't

          This video depressed me because of what he went through. After he came back from war he felt different. He had mental problems that no one helped him with. He almost commited suicide the first week of war, but luckily someone saw him and started yelling at him right before he pulled the trigger.
         After he came back from war, he lost his wife, his old life, and joined a biker gang. He joined the biker gang to feel like part of a unit again just like he felt at war. Everyday he would think about war. When he went to Washington D.C. to speak with a representative about how to treat war veterans but the representative didn't have time to speak with him.
          If I was in this situation I don't know what I would do. I would probably look to my family for help or get therapy. I don't know what it would feel like to be in this situation but I know some of the things he did, I wouldn't do. I hope more people would start paying attention to war veterans, and I think all high school students should be required to watch this video.
