How were you Four Years Ago?

I was thirteen four years ago. At that age I was not any more different as I am now. Yes, I may have been careless and lax  towards certain duties, but the attitude and mind set has not changed. I interpreted entities as I do now, I had the same taste in music, and most of all  my personality has not changed as much as I have conceived. Though, the one thing that was different four years ago, was my ability to perceive. I did not understand why things were then; I tried adding two and two together, but there was always some idea there to contradict mine. I was disoriented in the world of perceptiveness. Elatedly, I am now able to dissect the unknown. Though, my ideas may not be spot on, I am no longer estranged to the world around me. Presently, all I need is one glimpse of someone before my brain can form an opinion about that person. Then, I would form ideas to why this is or why that should be or how it came to be. I would ponder until I find the answer, even if it took forever.

Cats True Nature

Cats will not bear arms!

Their race has exceed your own

Why are the cats free..?

If freed, they will reign

They are the score of poor greed

Ignore the cats now!

Show them little fear

Kick and scratch the cats if so

But, you be alert

In reality

Dense humans would not see this

Thou must look deeper!

Thou must see what is

Instead of what ought to be

Now, thou can shun cats

hence, cats should perish

They are alienated

Toward human love

Their minds follow their

rational style of thinking

Hence, do not trust cats

They will act cute

and grab your attention too

and will purr and rub

But, thy must be warned!

Cats trick thee into caring

And soon mans demise.

Young Friends

The youngest person I know is Jenny. She says that she is "old" but really implies that she has experienced a lot. Her birthday is not too far from mine, hers is on the 23rd of this month and mine the 3rd. Jenny is funny most of the time and runs a lot. Every time I picture her, she's either running or having a fan girl moment with Super Junior. Anyways, she is kind and laid-back; she does not let work stress her out and can even balance her work loads well. So, it would be hard to imagine her stressed. Her favorite band is Super Junior a Korean boy group, and her liking toward Japanese music has faded. Her strengths are being bold, care-free, and modest. She can be annoying at times, but she is still a good friend :). I enjoy my time with her.

Ancient Egyptians

I know its suppose to be someone older than I and who I know, but I decided to chose a different route: The Ancient Egyptians-- I know of them quiet well actually.

 The ancient Egyptian culture is by far the most interesting. Over looking the slavery and wars, I want to focus on the good times in the Egyptian Kingdom. First, quick history lesson, Egypt is located in Africa--not the middle east, for those who got that mixed up.  Alright, moving on. As describing the ancient Egyptians, I rather not say vicious and almighty because they were not all about that.
I The romance in the ancient Egyptian society just like any other. There were no arranged or forced marriages, rather the couple would fall in love on  their own terms and chose to start a family if they wish--frankly, the choice was left to them. How  it was done was that the man would bring gifts and write poems to his future wife. The ancient Egyptians valued marriage. "The literature of the day, known as “wisdom literature,” encouraged the man to treat his wife well. Egyptian marriages were monogamous, meaning the custom of being married to just one person at a time. A divorce was basically easy to attain, but it was costly ( history link)."

Familiar to most kids nowadays, the children in ancient Egyptian society were to take care of their parents once they've gotten to an old age. The old saying goes 'you do to your mother what she's has done to you'. Very old I might say, but to the point.

The ancient Egyptians were simple and spiritual people; you'd think they focus most of their time on wrapping dead people in cloth, but really, they devote most of their time to festivals and having a good time. And when it came to food, the ancient Egyptians had an advantage, due to their rich, fertile soil. Also, the famous Nile river, which brought in fish, salmon and other seafood to the surface. Ancient Egypt was like a hunter-gathering society,as well as tending to the cattle. When game ( food) was caught the ancient Egyptians honored their catch. "Like the Native Americans the ancients Egyptian hunters prayed to god and goddess images of the animals they quarried to ensure their safety and the success of the hunt.( Spinger, 1996)." What the ancient Egyptians did with their hair was a huge fashion statement. They would either braid, dye, shave, cut, weave charms into it or simply wear a wig. Some thought they wore wig to stay cool; that may be the case, but really it was for outward appearances. As for the sports/games in Ancient Egypt, board games were popular as well as many others. The board games then seem as if they were playing chess or checkers, perhaps they might have been, but the details were never clear. An example would be a game called astragals, translated to knuckle-bones, where the player would travel around the snake track all the way to the finish. Sounds quite competitive doesn't it? As for the sports, you'd think I am stating the very events from the Olympics, but it was only piratical then. They had archery, high jumping, weight-lifting, swimming, boating, long distance running, spear throwing, etc.

Unfortunately, I cant fit EVERYTHING about the Ancient Egyptians into this entry. I would not want to discourage you with a long, long reading entry. So, I'll stop here and hopefully, on spare time, pick up where I left off in another entry.
