Entry #10: Acts of Kindness

Entry #10: Acts of Kindness To begin, Happy holidays everyone! This entry will be simple, as I will introduce something that will make the holidays a little sweeter. Acts of Kindness. Every year we all prep and gather together to share traditions that I say are pretty important. Large feasts, family gatherings, gift giving, and the ball drop; all of these things play a role in our society and lifestyle today. It is all significant; however, what happens to those who can't enjoy the holidays with loved ones? What about those who you may know and consider them to be a "scrooge"? Unfortunatly not everyone this year is going to have a "Happy Thanksgiving" or "Merry Christmas"; and some people may be over the idea of the holiday season. Routine can be boring; it doesn't make any person ungrateful or miserable to want some change in their tune. What better to have joy than to give joy?  Here are some things to make a holiday a litt...

Entry #9: Happy Birthday!

Blog Entry #9: Happy Birthday (McDonalds meal 2010-2016) McDonalds, a name once only know by the nation; now implemented worldwide. It's the staple of what makes American food, well American. From the famous Big  Mac  to my personal favorite; chicken nuggets, McDonalds is a name many known. That being said; what in the world have I been eating all these years! The author of this photo is the proud owner of a 6 year old meal; that doesn't look a day over 5. The likely hood of digesting that now and possibly living; is slim to none. So why do we consume junk that is made 100% "fresh". The buns don't even have mold on them, and its been 6 years! The "meat" patty has shrunk in size, the fries are pencils; yet still have that golden hue. This is wrong on another level. I have kept strawberries in the fridge for little over a week and they had to be thrown out. Whether this was placed in an air tight container, or away from further decomposition, cans ...

Entry #8: Stardew Valley

Entry #8: Stardew Valley (StarDew Valley) Ladies and gentlemen; for the past 3 days I have invested; time, energy, and sleep for this game. Stardew Valley, a mixture of: Minecraft, Pokemon, Terraria, and sims. This game, that costed me $14.99, is possibly going to be the reason I don't get a full nights rest. This game is based on the player (you) inheriting a farm from their grandfather and flipping it. It consists of a number of things that I won't go into detail about, but it is worth the investment. For starters what kind of game is worth investing $14.99? Whether you think the price is too high or low, I will tell you. I will name off a long list of a few things possible to do in Stardew Valley: fishing, farming, adventure, progression, and multiplayer. A game where friends and family can come together and make an earnest living. It's full of story that can easily immerse any player who is reluctant at first. From enjoying the seasons to diving i...

Entry #7: Fresh

Entry #7: Fresh A fter watching the film: "Fresh"; I wasn't surprised at some of the things farmers do to make produce. At first! The introduction to agriculture is something I'm aware of; living in a small town with fields of :grapes, almonds, oranges, cows, and garlic. It wasn't until witnessing the cruelty of the poor chicks being tossed like heaps of dirt, that I got to thinking. This film won't make me stop eating chicken nuggets, but if the farmers can treat their livestock in an awful manner; why would they care for us? This film was clearly meant to reach those who take interest in the wellness of their own health and animals. Why is there research done for anti-animal cruelty facial creams, makeup, and lotions; but none done on our food. As ironic as it sounds, I don't want to know my food suffered.  This film showcases the realties of the animal care, pesticides, options, and the wellness of consumers. Even though America has th...
