Entry #9 Some Propaganda


     Ah yes fast food, America pretty much runs on fast food. Everyone reading this might be craving a Box Combo from Canes, The Spicy Deluxe from Chick-Fil-A or maybe a Double-Double from In-N-Out. I know I am

    I love my Mcmuffins every Tuesday and Thursday morning before class. Honestly you can not go wrong with them.

    "Excess calories from fast-food meals can cause weight gain. This may lead toward obesity. Obesity increases your risk for respiratory problems, including asthma and shortness of breath. The extra pounds can put pressure on your heart and lungs and symptoms may show up even with little exertion."-Hotline

    I recall reading on an article from my sophomore year that 18% of families eat pizza for dinner a day. If you think about it 18 in every 100 families have a box(s) of pizza served on their table. I understand not everybody has the money to purchase ingredients to make a healthy meal. However sometimes its not all about money.

    What is the most scarce resource everyone has, time. Some people will sacrifice a good meal to save 10-15 minutes of cooking. This is the biggest part of the problem. 10 minutes isn’t a lot because we have all sorts of kitchen utilities compared to 50 years ago when people actually cooked.

Entry #10 Is Apple Scamming Us All?

Image
     Apple has done so much for the Technological industry from producing computers with amazing speeds to phones so powerful that they compete to an average computer. The question is are they overcharging us?     When the first Iphone released it started at the price of $199 and there was only one phone. There was no, Plus, Pro or Pro Max. It was always $199 up to the Iphone 4 then things started to turn. Suddenly the prices started increasing exponentially and now the latest Iphone 13 Pro Max with the option of 1TB of storage costs $1599. In 11 years the cost of an Iphone has gone up $1400 which is not an awful lot.      Many old heads argue that it is unnecessary for it to cost that much. Remember technology is a never ending goal. There is something new being released every week from a big company. We have cameras that have better lens quality compared to a mid-range camera from 2015. The battery can last up to 16 hours and can charge to 100% in under 1 hour.      The economy plays

Entry #2 Thinking Beyond The Atmosphere

    The word "Space" could create all sorts or controversies. It could start the discussion deciding if the earth is flat. It could make all of us wonder, is there life on other planets? Who created the universe? Was the moon landing faked? There are so many questions that need to be answer. They will eventually get answered, if we are still alive. Remember Earth has had 5 mass extinctions and it won't stop there. Compared to where we were 100 years ago Astronomers, Scientists and Astronauts have come a long way. In July 20, 1969 we landed the first human on the moon. In 1971, the USSR's Mars 3 landed successfully on mars, however it failed when the instruments collapsed. Since then there has been 9 mars landings and most recently on February 18 of 2021,  Mars 2020 Astronomers have done an excellent job exploring our solar system like Galileo who discovered the four massive moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. Many were inspired and now we have all sorts of infor

Entry #3 The Big Bang

Image
        There are moments in everyone’s life where a moment of realization hits us out of no where. It could range from an accomplishment as big as climbing Mount Everest or as small as getting to work on time. It could even be a time where you tasted something that punched your taste buds and made them tingle.      The reason i'm saying all this is because this just happened to me about 1 minute and 27 seconds ago. I put this little rock in my mouth and in my head this strong breeze hit me. It was a marvelous sensation that is difficult to explain.     I am getting too ahead of myself, allow me to start with the packaging. It was a small curious container that opened up like one of those plastic cereal boxes from Costco. It was as small as a mini travel size deodorant and clear. When you shake it you can hear all the rocks hitting against each-other almost like gravel when you walk on it. Since I wear skinny jeans the corners of the package pokes through my pants and the name on t
