Money

So this may be a topic you don't care about or don't even want to think about. Personally, it's something that's on my mind a lot. The fact is, I'm a spender. I like lots of money. In fact, one of my personal dream goals in life is to have so much money, I can take care of myself and family without actually needing a job later on in life. I think that's a pretty good goal. But I started to think more and more about other people.

Lately, I've been obsessed with this game called The Sims 3. I've always loved the series. Its just I want the version for my computer, not the one I have on my DS. Mind you, I like mature games and long lasting games. So the game I want is rated teen plus. Only because this version is way better than the rated everyone version on my DS.

Now, I told my mom about my obsession. She told me to look at every store and website. Of course, I did as she said and researched everything. It took me one night and the next day. I still have to look up a video of someone installing the PC game to my kind of computer. I don't want to take any risk with my mom and dad's computer.

I finally found the perfect price, and after all the math, found out that it was even better, considering I get free shipping and 5% off. AWESOME!

I started to think how fun this actually was. I usually tease my mom about how she loves coupons and saving money. But now I know just how fun it actually is.

I was thinking about this nation's economy. It must be hard on the parents but also on the kids. 12.7 million people are unemployed and 770,000 homeless people just last year. I have never really thought about all the kids, considering the news never actually asks them how they feel. It must be hard. And I guess I needed to say that to the world because they'll never know it if I never say it.

The Legend of Korra

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,


I watch a lot of series on television and there is this one that has just been eating my insides because its just over. Absolutely over.

Call me childish, but I got addicted to The Legend of Korra on Nick. Don't know what that is? The series is about the next avatar after Aang, struggling to bring peace among the people. Don't know who Aang is? Aang had a very long series called Avatar : The Last Airbender.

Aang was a twelve year old who was an Airbender and found out about being the avatar from the leaders of his temple. Once he found out that his teacher, who taught him how to airbend, was going to another temple, Aang ran away and was frozen along with his sky bison. A hundred years later, a girl named Katarra and her brother find him in the ice and later learn he is the avatar and the last airbender because the firebenders destroyed his people. Aang and his friends then must unite the nations and stop the fire nation from destroying the earth and water nation.

Now that you understand that, Korra is now the avatar (but not completely) and must master all the elements. She has mastered Fire, Water, and Earth but Air isn't coming as easily because it is her opposite (she's a firebender at heart). She can't connect to the spiritual world and can't even produce a light wind. And what's frustrating, is while she is becoming the avatar, the people without bending powers start to form an alliance against the benders. A man named Amon forms the Equalist to "protect" the normal people. But what's even more amazing than his little group, is he has the ability to take other people's bending away permanently. And this power has only belonged to the avatar and now one else. So Korra must fight against Amon and make peace.

(You can watch full episodes on nick.com/korra. You can even watch Aang and all his adventures.)

Now, what's been bugging me is the ending. It was so inspirational, how Korra falls in love and gets back her powers and becomes the avatar. But it's just...I want to know how a person's soul or mind or body is chosen to be the avatar. One of my many theories is that the past avatars pick someone because they can possibly see their future in the after life.

This brings up a theory that I like to think actually exist and probably doesn't. Now its really hard to explain so just follow along as best as you can. I like to think the world was born when I was born. That every experience is a brand new one to the world and that every new thing that some says to me is brand new. Your probably think, "Yeah, it is. For you." But what's I'm trying to say is that everything happening is like a brand new thing to the world. I have my own world, and you do too. Or maybe we share one or there are millions of different worlds. Or maybe we all just don't exist. Maybe we're all just apart of a dream. And when that person wakes up, the cycle starts over and that person makes a new world without even knowing it.

See what I'm saying?
