Stream of Consciousness

I am afraid. Afraid of what's to come and what's happening. My master is going to find out I ran away when the day breaks. I will be hunted down, and killed if I'm found. The only thing that brings me hope is the fact that I could someday have a life, a family, but most of all...freedom. I have been a slave for my whole life, born days before my parents arrived here in this horrible place. But just then I am ripped away from my thoughts, as I notice the sun fighting its way above the horizon. Panic races through me, I try to think how far away I am from the plantation, but I can't. Fear is overpowering, so over-whelming, I cannot think straight. But just then, I feel tired, exhausted. All the running is finally catching up to me. 

Civil War

The name of my character will be Rena, and she'll be escaping from her plantation. She'll be a slave in the south, in Alabama. These are the only ideas I have right now.

Free Will

Being in the United States of America, we take rights people fought for us, for advantage. In the Revolutionary War, countless people lost their lives just so we could be free. And now we're wasting it, throwing away years of wars and civil rights movements just like that. Everyone in the world deserves free will, but life isn't always that fair. People are complaining that our free will is being taken away, but truth be told, we're just being stubborn. We have much more free will compared to people in Libya, and the Middle East, so whats happening here, it's magnified by 10 everywhere else. My only comment to the people of our nation is "Stop, and think, just think, for a moment, what free will actually is, and be grateful."  

New York Times: Reaction

I read a story about the death of 79 actress, Elizabeth Taylor. It describes this famous actress with great pride as if they knew her personally. She began her acting career at the age of 9. So that leaves her with 50 films in 7 decades.

This story moved me, but only because it was someone who died. She died early today (3/23/11) at 1:28 am pacific time. I think I would have been more moved if I had lived during the time of the movies she filmed.

Equality

What if we were all equal? Would it be great or immensely boring? If you were as equal as me and you robbed a bank and I saved a life, would there be problems in life? Or would life be peaceful? These are the thoughts that I think of when I think a world were everybody was equal. Life would be either exceptionally perfect or horrible.

If I Had a Power

To time travel and to read minds have always been a fantasy of mine. But now I'm going to take the time to see the differences. If I could read minds I could see what people really thought of me, but if I could time travel I could re-live and re-do things I did in the past.


First things first, to read someones mind would be awesome! I could really understand what was going on in peoples mind and their real opinions. But what if I didn't like what they were thinking, what if the lies they told me made me happy? Because ignorance is bliss.

Next would be to time travel. Time traveling would be like the ultimate freedom squared, maybe even more. I could fix what I messed up, and re-live great parts of my life, just like a replay button. What if I went back and saw the Great Pyramids of Giza being built? But what if I messed them up? What if I saw a moment in my life, it wasn't special anymore? Maybe time traveling wouldn't be that great.

Maybe having powers wouldn't be so great. If I were offered a super power of my choice would I decline? I think I would. Being as myself is fine for me....right now...I think.
