Pencils vs. Pens

This is a very interesting topic, and, believe it or not, has been fought about for a long time. My opinion? Pencils! Pens are a praised invention, yet they are completely unnecessary. They can't be erased. You can see the marks from the other side of a sheet of paper. And bad ballpoint pens can be so frustrating! So why, I ask you, are pens used? Pencils can be erased easily, they don't carry ink that can stain things, and so much more. It is a complete disgrace that just because pencils are gray and you have to sharpen them, humans use such a primitive writing tool such as the pen!

Birthdays

I know I put a lot of negative comments on this blog, but that doesn't mean that everything I have to say is negative. In fact, I consider myself a optimist. My niece's birthday is today and that is why I'm saying this; I happen to like birthdays.
Birthdays, some would argue, are giving rewards for no reason. But I disagree. If the only thing anybody ever celebrated were accomplishments, it may push people harder, and it may not. I think it does not. You know what I think about birthdays? Yes, they are nice to have once a year.

iPhone

At first when the iPhone came out, believe me, I was pulling my hair out. I didn’t want anything to do with it simply because of the hullabaloo about it and I’m sure many of you can connect with me on this. And then I got my iPhone and it all changed. Before I disliked the iPhone, now I despised it. It was addictive. When I should have been writing speeches and playing with my son I was hunched over my cellular phone, surfing the internet! If other addictive things are banned – you know, things like drugs – WHY AREN’T IPHONES! They are equally dangerous to the mind.

Baseball

This is a great sport, and I love it, but it has been taken much too far. I grew up a Red Sox fan, and they’re an amazing team to follow and to watch and to root for, but recently I have backed out. It is so utterly repulsive to see Red Sox fans with letters painted on their chests, yelling at the top of their lungs. What’s the problem with this? I have always been the empathetic type. And think about it – they are damaging their skin and their vocal cords – and for what purpose? None. The players don’t care if you yell at the other team, in fact, it would be my best guess that they are quite opposed to this unruly behavior. And I’ve seen Red Sox and Yankees fans that don’t even give each other a chance and are immediate enemies, just because they support different teams. This may happen in other sports too, but nothing is nearly as bad as in baseball

Pop-tarts

Most people know pop-tarts are unhealthy. In fact, a pop-tart is less healthy than your own toenail! But that is not what I am most concerned about. The pop-tart has introduced a whole new world of fast breakfasts. Long ago, before the pop-tart and others like it, if you wanted a breakfast you would eat a bowl of oatmeal or ham or eggs, or even a compination of those. But with quick breakfast foods like the pop-tart, breakfasts are getting smaller and smaller. For instance, a bowl of oatmeal is more filling that a pop-tart. But which one is faster? The pop-tart! So the people rushing about eat the pop-tart for breakfast, and they don't get enough nutrition, especially protien, and they end up getting restless and cranky, and maybe work less, all because of that pop-tart!
