Riptide

How many people try to live up to people's expectations. How many model themselves after someone just to "fit in"? The song Riptide by SickPuppies has a great message which is live for yourself. Don't try to live up to others expectations, just your own. That you don't have to justify the way you live your life 'cause your different. You don't have to listen to everything they say you should do. The reason being that it will "help you."


 I love the message because so many people in today's society try to fit in and change themselves just to make others happy, and the others that don't try to fit in are criticized, called freaks, and are made fun of.
If you want an example of that just look at any high shcool in america. If your not part of the "in" crowd your a nobody.I really hate that the world is like that. It really is pathetic. I just don't understand the concept that idea. What's the point of fitting in with others if you loose what makes you you in the process?


So anyone out there reading this remember, live for yourself and no one else just so you can fit in. Don't loose yourself in the crazy world of todays society.

Humanity

Why do we fight each other
How come we insist on punishing one another
What happened to the world's humanity
Why can't we treat eachother like family


Isn't everyone supposed to be "equal"
Where did those ideals go
Did everyone just forget about them
Or do they just not care




Everyone's the same
Quality dosn't matter
Unless we can
Amend our actions
Loss is all we'll achieve

poem for english

What happens to a cause to fight
Does it fade away into the night
like a fire slowly loosing light
Or does it spread like a virus
and then takes control of everyone
Does it cause distruction
Or does it bring peace
Like a sunrise
Maybe it just goes away
like an unwanted stray
Or does it stay

Should Video Games be Art?

    Should video games be considered art? I think video games should definitely be considered art. If movies or music can be considered art, then why not video games? Video games have character designers designing characters for games which is just like an artist sitting down and drawing a character on paper. Another thing is the scenery. Most games have amazing sceneries, especially in the background. There will be a waterfall that looks real or a field of flowers blowing in the wind that looks like you are actually in the field. Another thing that’s a reason for video games to be art is the cinematics. For example, in the game Final Fantasy XIII the cinematics look like actual people. And many other games have amazing graphics.
    There are people who say video games is more like sports than art because you have a certain amount control over the game, unlike art. While you do have some control, you don’t have control over some aspects of the games. Like the way the background looks, or the buildings surrounding your character, or the way your characters look. Even if you do have control over how the character looks, you are pretty much creating art if you design the character.
    I understand the peoples point of view who say video games are not art. Am I gonna make a big deal about it? No. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. But I say video games should be considered as an art form.
