Lord of Lords

So I got a bit bored; and then I got really inspired. Saviour King has got to be one of the best CD's that Hillsong United has ever released; well, since This is Our God is #1 in my list and Mighty to Save is #2, I guess Saviour King just got third.... anyways, there is this amazingly beautiful song called Lord of Lords that Brooke Fraser wrote and sang; and there's this part that goes "Let not the things of this world ever sway, I'll run till I finish the race" which really got to me. So anyways, here's my cover of it; and I had a lot of fun singing it! I'm not the greatest singer; but this song isn't about singing; its worship.

Let's forget about changing our habits, its much easier to change the entire PLANET

Sometimes, science comes up with the most amazing ideas that would help save many lives and blah blah blah.

Most of the time, scientists have found something; which to them, "Hmmm.... interesting." Then one really strong political power, or something else will get their hands on it, and next thing you know- Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Chernobyl, Osbourne Reef (whose bright idea was it to stick car tires in the sea?), must I continue?

There are also these times when they come up with these ideas, and your firs thought goes something like this, "These guys cheated off Sci-Fi!" Take for example, the ideas that a bunch of geoengineers came up with. It goes something like this, "Hey guys, we messed up our planet enough, but we don't really want to change our lifestyles because hey we're humans; we're special! Let's change the planet, I think that's a bit more feasible!"

I am not kidding you.

There is this idea that if we can send a bunch (think: 20 million tons) of little "fliers" which can reflect light; we'll cool the earth down by 1.8%, which is not so bad. The problem is not the idea. It's the method.

Who gave us right to heat up the planet by our indulgence in the first place? We humans are very selfish people who think that we are the most important species on the planet. We are not the numerous, we are simply put; parasites. Is that not what we do? We travel place to place, use up everything they have and move to another spot. Now, we're saying, we don't want to live conservatively and save energy; lets just spend more money and energy into building a whole new mechanism that will save us the trouble from, oh the horror!- having some restrain on our need to indulge every want.

Here is the other idea that these bright scientists have proposed. Forget about fixing this planet, lets move onto another one. Great. Just great, another planet for us to destroy. What are we, parasites?

Ecobuzz

It takes an idiot not to notice my obsession with my home. That is, my home planet. Let's put it this way, I am the president of "Students Towards Environmental Protection" at my school, and I've got a t-shirt that says think green. Hey, I hug trees and I'm weird, but I'm not a tree hugging weirdo.

Anyway, on October 30^th, 2008, at Fletcher’s Meadow Secondary School, the 6^th annual Ecobuzz Conference was held by Peel Environmental Youth Alliance (PEYA), and hosted by Fletcher’s Meadow’s Students Towards Environmental Protection (STEP), of which I am the president.

There are 3 parts to this conference that I was a major part of, 1) I was the Volunteer Co-ordinator, along with Xinou Gao, 2) I was the creator of the Conference Guide and 3), I was head volunteer at Registration.

Ecobuzz is a conference that brings together students from all over the Peel Region so that they can get a better understanding of the environmental opportunities available for them, and so that they can make an action plan to better the environment in their school the following year. It was an amazing experience to be a part of this, because the environment is not something like homework, where you can leave it behind and hope to some higher being that everything turns out alright; it needs to be worried about right now, because 10 or 20 years from now, it might just be too late.

Maybe the older generation doesn’t want to take a step right now; but then again, it won’t be their problem for too long, but it will be their mistakes that leave their children an earth so polluted that surviving itself is a miracle. It was for this reason that us youth can’t stand still. You may think that you have the rights to leave a barren earth as our future, but that is not your choice, we have a right in the world we want to live in; and it is for that reason that we choose to make a difference. You don’t have to make a difference if you don’t want to, but I’m not going to just sit by and watch my home, my only home, become torn and ripped apart because of the ignorance and selfishness of other people. How would you like it if people came into your home, and destroyed it while you watched? I doubt that you would be able to sit still; my point exactly, I won’t watch over-indulgence and addiction to comfort destroy my home, so it is absolutely ridiculous for anyone to assume that the younger generation will just sit and watch this happen, we will make a change, and there is nothing you can do to stop us.

...After all, it is simply self-preservation in a sense.

Exams

It seems that when there is the presence of 5 underlings (also known as siblings but who calls them that nowadays?) it is practically impossible to work. The earlier statement because extremely powerful in times when the one enduring said presence is about to enter the hell known to the rest of the population as final exams. The same statement seems to triple in strength when final exams include physics, advanced function, and biology.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend just a while ago, who told me to seriously get to work; NOW. He has no idea how I do. Frankly neither do I. Anyways, I've decided that as soon as exams are over; I am going to start working on two huge projects I've been wanting to do for some time now. One is going to a be video which will further the "I heart" revolution; right here in Brampton, Ontario. Here's the thing: the I heart is a revolution of people helping other people, showing God's love in a practical way, with no strings attached. Here's something Joel Houston (who happens to be my biggest non-Biblical role model) said, "Every generation is remember for something; let ours be remembered for love." He also said that if our generation is remember for ipods, myspace and youtube, we failed. That thought really got to me, and I have to say that I completely agree! As soon and me and my friends make the video, I will put up a link here! :)

The next is not so important; but its a little thought bunny (lets call him Chappy)  that started bugging me in church, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It's basically a Bleach Omake about Jyuushiro Ukitake, a captain of the Gotei 13 who suffers from TB; and the stupidity of his groupie subordinates... I personally think its funny; and after I've drawn it I will put it up on deviantart. I'll put a link here too...

Alright so now I will listen to said friend about studying, and lock my groupies up in the basement and set a lion loose on them. What's a person gotta do for some peace eh????

Toodles for now.

Bleach

No, not the chemical that Mr. K told us about in Chem 11. I mean the anime. So there's times when I have watched 3 billion episodes of something (coughINUYASHAcough) and then realized that it was a stupid show. Then there's those shows that your family (coughPHIL&STANcough) gets you obsessed with and you realize that its not so bad. Actually, it's amazing!

Now this is not exactly the type of thing I always want to write about, but this show is rather breath-taking. When something this big hits me, I go a little crazier that usual about it!

Through together random hot guys with crazy hair; add a couple of swords, some death Gods, and an awesome teddy bear that can w/t..... and you have the second most famous manga show in the world right now (Naruto's #1... I've read it and yes, I do see why)!!!!

To any reader, this show will blow your mind! I know its an anime, but hey, it beats alot of real life shows when it comes to depth and character; while still making you laugh your ass off at the end of the 25 minutes. Here is the basics, at least according to wikipedia, which according to what my teachers say, should be burned at stake.

Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he accidentally obtains the power of a shinigami from Rukia Kuchiki. A shinigami is a Japanese death personification similar to the Grim Reaper. Gaining these abilities forces him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife.

Again I'm working on the Summative Lab for Biology, I don't think it actually wants to be completed, everytime I start it, something or the other happens. Anyways, I'm going to go and watch more Bleach. Now theres proof out in the world why I'm failing...

A Small Introduction

I have no idea who I am supposed to write this to, considering that there are about 6 billion people in the world who could be reading this. Taking away the coupla billion who don't have internet access because they're too busy trying to survive and find some food or shelter; that still leaves... a whole load of people. So I'm not going to say "hey guys," or anything like that... just so that you don't feel offended if I just go onto my rant about my tales.

Be sure to know, if I ever meet you in real life, I will most certainly say hello, and probably more than that too!

Now, I am called Mir. Mind you that's not my name, but hey, I've been called Marvin, hey kid (from the guard at a Hillsong concert trying to tell me that I was stepping on his foot...) and even grandmother (this wouldn't be so strange, except that I'm not even a mother let alone a grandmother!). Mir is probably my normalest name (if thats a word).

I'm Knanaya Indian, and also Swiss (not Swedish, Swiss.... if I got a toonie for every person who called me a Swede....); though I prefer to consider myself a citizen of the world.

My mom passed away when I was 3 1/2 years old, so forgive me if I lack in any of those things that mothers are supposed to teach their little girls; as I clearly wouldn't know.

I like change. Most people hate change for some God-only-knows-and-He-only-understands reason (everytime i-do-this, I feel like we're in Harry Potter and we're talking about you-know-who, old Voldie that is). I love love love change! Imagine eating the same thing every morning, going to the same job every day, and doing the same thing every week.... all your life! I would be put into a mental hospital faster than you can say you-know-who.

I should sleep. No, actually I should work on that biology lab that made me start this blog. Bad Mir, very bad girl. Now off to work. To those of you who are going to sleep, good night! For those of you who are doing other stuff... bye!!:)
