What is the role of fate in romantic relationships?

Hello everybody! How are you guys doing? Today's topic will be about the the role of fate in romantic relationships.

To start off let us define the word, Fate. What is fate? According to many fate would be considered as an invisible or a non-existant force that would cause something to undoubtedly happen to someone, it may be good or bad, but that depends on your view of it.
Anyways, the role of fate in romantic relationships are, in my opinion, over-used within our society and media. In almost everyone romantic film nowadays, you always would hear a cliched line such as "We were fated to be together" or something similar to "we are bound together by the red string of fate" or any other cliched line you can think of.

Serendipity is a good movie that is based around the stereotype (I honestly cannot find a better fitting word to use other than this) that true lovers are fated to be together. To summarize, without giving away too much of the movie, the two main characters, Jonathan Trager (John Cusack) and Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale), believe that "...fate is behind everything..." and everything that happens between the main characters has fate as the culprit. It is quite funny to watch and the things that happen are just really funny like how they just missed each other on the elevators. Oops, I'm giving away too much spoilers, all in all, this is a great movie and in not wanting to promote this great movie or to sound too biased, it is worth your 5 minutes to check out the movie. Although I find some parts of the movie, slightly strange and of course, it is not for everyone.

Well, this is all for today and have a great day! Goodbye everyone!

Knock Knock!

Hello everyone, how is everyone on this Monday afternoon? Anyone who read my last post will know that I hate Mondays. Not because I have to go to school, but have to be woken up early in the morning by an alarm clock that repeatedly goes "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" after a nice weekend of sleeping in. I miss the weekend already...

Getting to the main point of this post, below is a video of Daniel Beaty and his poem, Knock Knock.

For the lyrcis, click HERE. 

After watching this inspiring video and his poem of a little boy who loved his father and had to grow up to be a man without a father figure. This little boy wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, but slowly forgets who his father is since his father neglected to see him anymore. So this little boy had to learn by himself how to become a man and he has tried to help others how were also neglected by their fathers like he was. However this boy then finds out that he must do things by himself, he must become independent and learn that there are lessons in life that cannot be taught, only learned. This boy also learnt that things his father could not do, he must continue and accomplish what his father could not.

I believe this poem relates to The Help as the white children, such as Mae Mobley, who are neglected by their parents must find their way in life without much guidance from their biological mothers. The children are only supported by the black maids who helps point out their pathways called life, but it is the children themselves who must take the first step.

This is all just in my own personal opinion, if you feel differently please leave a comment below. Goodbye!

Post Number 6!

Hello everyone, what is going on? The weekend is coming to an end, too bad, and Monday is coming up. All the time you had is now all gone, so you better start working on that essay of yours that's due tomorrow. I honestly understand why people leave things to the last minute because video games are so much more fun to do and I agree with you on that. However try to get at least some work done before the weekend ends.

Starting a different topic all together now! I would like to share another video that I found on YouTube and these people must have practiced and tried a lot to get this in one take.

Check them out HERE!

Now I am running out of things to say, so this ends the blog for today, Goodbye everyone!

Fifth Post!

Hello everyone once again! Sorry about not posting this yesterday, but I was busy trying to learn a new song for keyboard class, that I had no idea how to play and was supposed to have a playing test today. Don't you hate it when you have to do things last minute and then try your hardest to do it right, then the teacher give you an extension at the last minute and all your hard work doing things all night goes to waste?

Anyways enough of that, I was just wondering if any of you had any special skills that you would like to share. I am sure everyone knows the saying that it is impossible to lick your own elbow, however this guy ,Wickedcompanyguy can do just that, Watch! By the way, this is a little, kind of disturbing and if you are one that do not like these things do NOT click play.

Well? Is this not cool?

On a completely somewhat, maybe related sense, do you or do you not HATE YOUTUBE ADS?! They are very, very annoying and bothersome as they show up again and again.

This is it for my post today and I will try my best to make sure I post on time every two days, Later all!

Fourth Post!

Hello everyone and welcome back from the long weekend! Hope you had a good one! Today let us talk about something that is very serious, SOPA.

( If you have no idea of what SOPA or PIPA is click on the word or click here. )

 I really want your honest opinion on whether SOPA and/or PIPA should be passed or not. Many people believe that these bills will give the government TOO much control over free speech and the internet. Others, such as the large entertainment cooperations, who agree and support this bill. This bill also allows the entertainment companies to sue anyone and everyone who downloaded any "infringing/copyrighted" software. The SOPA bill will allow the government to block users from accessing any website that contains copyright content from other contries. The Bill will also include up to FIVE years in prison just for streaming copyrighted content, this means that YouTube will also be shut down if the bill passes as most of their content includes "copyrighted" songs and video clips from movies.

Just a reminder, please post your opinion and comments, as I and others would like to hear your voice on this matter.

Third Post!!!

Aloha, everyone how are you guys today? Anyways i just found a couple of songs that I really enjoy and I would like to share them with everyone else!

First song is called Protectors Of The Earth and both these songs are going to be performed by Two Steps From Hell.

The last one is called Heart Of Courage.

This is about it for today's post, please leave a message if you enjoyed it and share your thoughts and any other song(s) that you enjoy and would like to share as well! Aloha!

P.S- Aloha means both hello and goodbye in Hawaiian.
P.P.S-These are NOT my videos (obviously I'm not good with this stuff) and all rights go to their respective owners.

Second Post!

Hello everybody once again! How are you on this fine P.A or P.D (i don't know which is right, but whatever!) day?

 

I was look around YouTube for some nice videos and I found this one right here :

 

 This is quite a nice animation, the movements are seamless and flows very well. The music that the animator based this video around is very appropriate, it gives the video its character. However at the beginning, you can see that the man's ring is on the left hand, but as the video ends the ring moves to the right hand. It is a very small flaw, but I do not believe that it disrupts the video very much. All in all this is a very well made animation and the scenes of this man's life is very well thought out and I love this piece. The song is called "Comptine d'un autre été: l'après midi" which is composed by Yann Tierse. Click here for a longer piano cover made by TheChiefEmperor.

 

That is all for today, have a nice day and long weekend!

 

First Post and Valentines Day scam?!

Hello and salutations to everyone and anyone who is reading this post! First of all, as everyone knows what day yesterday was and if you do not know, I'll run it by you now. YESTERDAY WAS...

Did you get it now? Yes? Good :D.

Anyways, I would like to ask about your opinion of Valentines day. Do you think its a waste of time, a great idea and the person who invented it was a genius, or any other thoughts that you might have!

Personally I feel that Valentines Day is... a scam. Yes, I said it is a scam, why? Well, around Valentines Day stores everywhere have special sales and bargain deals for romantic gifts that you can give to your valentine. However, the stores are just using it as a way to get more sales and the thought of this one special day that you treat your loved one nice, is just ridiculous. If you really love this person, don't wait until Valentines Day to make them happy, do it every single day! Who knows how long you are going to be together for, might as well cherish it now while it lasts because who really knows how long you have?

 Well that is it for my short(?) rant. Now to end up on a completely off-topic note,  what do you think about this picture?
