Vick Prosicuted for Dog Fights .http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/sports/AP-FBN-Vick-Indicted.html?ex=1348372800&en=69b8650d4386d41b&ei=5088&partner=rs
This article about Michael Vick being charged for criminal offences caught my eye especially. Dog fighting is something that self-deluded humans do to try and make themselves feel, superior. Thinking that because our species is more intelligent that we are just that much better than any one or anything else. Believing that because of this they have the power to do to these dogs whatever it is they want, making them hurt and in most cases kill one another. What makes someone believe they have that right to do to something, to use it as a tool of entertainment, i just cannot comprehend that. Do they just not understand that a dog is very much just as alive as any human walking around and that their life's are just as valuable. That pathetic excuse of a man at least had the decency to fess up about his wrong doings and plead guilty to the courtroom about his dog fighting conspiracy.Vick and other accomplices admit to killing or helping in the murder of 8+ dogs. A truly unrealizable thing to commit to a creature. It must take no conscience or heart to do such a thing. Words simply do not do justice to the lack of respect I, and the world must hold for these men. I just don't know what else i can say.

All Work and no Play.. The Fischbowl
This certain article in the Fischbowl leaves a very resonate sound imprinted in my head because it pertains to me greatly. Mr Fisch. is talking about how when he was a child he wanted to be a profoundly excellent runner in races and sorts of activities. And when he was a kid he would train not easy, but not the hardest he could of. But there were other kids who pushed their limits above and beyond imagining. And they would destroy him completely. But so at around age 16, he stopped loosing. He started doing training exercises thought ridicules and to difficult, run for hours and not rest for there was no time if he wanted to win. I fined this very ineligible because in all things i take great interest to i push myself and wont accept anything less, then more than my own best. I think it is ridicules how some people think they can have things just handed to them in life and can just stroll along with out any effort. Even more angering is the people who are actually successful in that department. I push myself to be able to shove-it in their face that hard work will turn out to beat them any day. I incorporate this to my entire world of skateboarding. which is incredibly important. Because if you don't put in 100% of your effort u will get hurt and injured on an terrific level. A second part of this article is the fact schools are taking this away by making situations completely the opposite of what you might incorporate in a real life situation. Which isn't that schools main purpose is to get us ready for life? so what kind of imprint is that leaving on us. This has a connection to the first section because if we don't work in school on our future life's situations then where does that leave us when we finally reach that age where we need to know these things? In that case i think it is probably on our shoulders mostly to reach that level of knowledge we will need. By the hard work and the effort that it requires to do so.

world languages dying off , BY:Brandon Fiest
In the world today there is an estimated 7,000 languages spoken, of all nearly half are facing extinction. In such a speedy decline as also estimated every two weeks, 1 language is lost. As some languages are lost at an instant rate caused by the death of the sole surviving speaker. Others lost at a slower rate due to television or the dominant language at school or in that nation even. The most hurt areas by this include:

one nights sky
One astonishing night apearing over Cherry Springs state park in Pennsylvania; an astonishing sight was apparent. Hundreds of thousands of stars were easily visible to the naked eye. Venus,Jupiter, even saturn soon took their bow. And at long last a sight that would pick u not only out of ur seat, but out of your own self deluded life; the milky way was visible. The mind altering sight was so bright it even cast shadows something never seen in the night. And with news that humans artificial lite is starting to erase the stars from our night sky, this was a quick realief for all across the world. Over 30,000 visitors came to the park to share the aww they experienced and how such things are almost truly, to hard to bielieve. To think of things such extrodinary is enouph to flabergast you, but to see it. It just can't be explained.
