If you could have one superpower what would you want? This is a pretty simple yet difficult question. I am pretty sure that everyone has at least thought about this question at least once in their lives. If you think about it there is no end to the superpower possibilities. There could be a superpower for anything but the most common and classic superpowers are the best. I have always wanted to be able to fly. Just thinking about passing through the sky and touching the clouds makes me envious of all the other superheroes who can fly. You would not have to worry about being late to things anymore, or traffic, car crashes, and many other troubles. Although, there is also perhaps the most popular and desirable superpower which is be super strength. Super strength is usually thought of as the first superpower one would think of and people usually relate this particular super power to superheroes. With super strength one could lift practically anything up and beat practically anyone up with fists alone. Super speed is also a great superpower. I like speed in general because it is just so useful at any time. Super speed is pretty limited though; obviously one receives the gift of running beyond the limits of a human. These are the three specific super powers that are the most obvious to me, clearly there are many other great ones but these three are probably my favorite ones. Other ones I can think of off the top of my head right now would be laser vision, invisibility, healing or regeneration, teleportation, telekinesis, telepathy, force fields, and shape shifting. The possibilities are absolutely endless. Imagine if everyone in the world had a super power, it could be seen as either good or bad.  Although, imagine the possibilities that could happen in such a world. Our society and normal life as it is now would cease to exist and we would all try to adapt to a world of superpowers. There would probably be superheroes I suppose. Some people who have had dreams of becoming one or perhaps thought it would be fun would most definitely try to do so. If people did become superheroes though, the world would be a better place.  Then again I suppose that if everyone did, then there would also be villains in the world.  I guess it is pretty obvious that some people would use their powers for evil; therefore there is no doubt that there would be the so-called bad guys in the world.  Since there still has to be balance maintained in the world the good has to clash with the bad. This make-believe world could be just like an action movie we see today in theaters I guess all super powers are great and useful one way of the other. Everyone also has their own different opinions and wants.

Why do allergies exist I wonder. After testing different fruit after fruit after fruit I have come up with this conclusion. I am nearly allergic to almost every fruit that grows on trees. Now seeing as how picky of an eater I am it is troublesome for someone like me to be not able to eat barely any fruits. I do not eat vegetables. I absolutely hate and detest nearly all vegetables and refuse to eat any. Seeing as how I do not any almost any greens, this is a problem for me regarding my health. The worst part of it all is that I actually do like fruit. I wonder why I couldn’t have been allergic to vegetables instead of them. That is why even though I am allergic to fruit I choose to eat them anyway despite the reactions I receive. When the reactions get bad enough ill stop eating them and regret eating them in the first place and yet I do this every time. The only fruit that I know that I am not allergic to is strawberries. As I person I can only eat so many strawberries while not trying to get sick of them. I do enjoy strawberries though; they are like cute little rubies born from plants. Although, it still pains me to not be able to eat exotic fruits such as jackfruit or even peaches and pineapples.

As you can probably see I have no idea what to write about this week and probably the upcoming weeks too. I don’t even know how I came to write about my allergies to fruits. It is quite the uninteresting topic and I apologize. These blogs are quite interesting and I find myself actually enjoying this even if it doesn’t come out that way in my writing. Yes I am writing about writing these blogs, but I can do this because we can write anything. I think of them as somewhat of a diary every week where I can simply pour my heart out into words into documents. Almost like some kind of sanctuary where one can feel comfortable and possibly not judged while expressing ourselves. Like a place where we can have an outlet for our feelings and possibly seek comfort. And now I ask you how you feel about these blogs. You are now probably either thinking about an answer or continuing to read this or none of the above. We all probably skim through each of our blogs and look for that one appeasing sentence where we can write a comment. We all know this so of course I am guessing none of us would be offended. I do this too we are only human. Rest assured I do not believe I will write like this in other blogs, I think. And if you are still reading this I question why. Although somewhere within your mind you find this interesting for who knows what reason and are compelled to continue reading. Although, I am not even talking about anything anymore. Therefore I have decided to end this week’s blog.

    A So Called Politician Hates Freedom and Tries to cut Off an Innocent NFL
                                                              Player 

Chris Kluwe sure smashed American politician Emmett C. Burns, Jr. into his place.  Chris Kluwe is just a simple punter for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League yet went head-to-head on with Burns who is a politician from Maryland currently serving his fourth term in the Maryland House of Delegates. Not only is Burns an important politician, but he also is a member of the Democratic Party and represents Maryland's District 10 in Baltimore County. In no way can I understand how on earth this so called politician could pass the qualifications to even be called one.  Burns does not just threaten the owner of the Ravens to cut a player off the team, he violates much more moralities.

I was appalled to see how forceful and disrespectful he was towards NFL’s linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. Oladele Brendon Ayanbadejo is an innocent football player and human who likes to express his opinions freely just like any of us. Unfortunately, he was rudely insulted as well as threatened to silence himself. Ayanbadejo’s opinion on gays was not even stated as NFL’s football player, but as a normal human being on Twitter.  Luckily, Kluwe confronted this horribly ignorant politician in a bold, humorous, and compelling letter.

Kluwe has won the hearts and support of many who have read his letter to Burns. He writes his letter in an entertaining yet also intellectual and all very true. He sticks up for Ayanbadejo and supports him on his opinions and sets Burns in his place. His reasoning is just plain and simple logic so anyone and everyone can understand it and agree with it. He corrects Burns and fights for Ayanbadejo’s rights like a hero, how could anyone not like or disagree with him? He even writes in a far more intellectual diction along with supporting logic and facts to prove and explain his point.

It is ironic how a politician would forget about the constitution. As Kluwe states, Burns has obviously not read the Constitution considering how horrendously he butchered Ayanbadejo’s freedom of speech rights. Clearly, everyone in this world has his or her own right to speak out whatever their thoughts or opinions are. Apparently, Mr. Burns does not feel this way and rejects our very first amendment. Our hero Kluwe had to reeducate Mr. Burns on morality as well as government. Kluwe also had to teach Burns about history as well seeing how Burns believes that political views do not have a place in sports. Of course again, I suppose history and segregation mean nothing to Burn as well. The man does not make any sense; he’s contradicting his profession with what he thinks are morals. Seriously, how this man ever became a politician I will never understand.

Included in our hero’s letter is his beautiful and insightful commentary. Everything he says is all completely true and makes perfect sense. Kluwe believes and loves freedom why doesn’t Burns? Kluwe supports people whether they are different or not in any shape or form so why doesn’t Burns? Is it so wrong to speak your beliefs and express them? It is obvious that our so called politician strong thinks so. After compiling all the evidence and admiring Kluwe’s inspirational work, it is just completely unfathomable that Burns is a politician let alone a human.

                             The Government Enjoys Killing lethally Sick Patients and Sends an
                                         Amazing Doctor to Jail for Trying to Save Them

Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a very extraordinary man. This man is overwhelmingly amazing whether anyone agrees with his views or not. It makes perfect sense for someone who wants to die, to be able to choose to when they are so miserable and sick that they cannot even live anymore. It is greatly absurd and inhuman to allow them to suffer from their sickness with no future ahead of them. They lie in bed and await death for the rest of their lives, a very sick and twisted way of torturing a human being. As each day passes, they would wonder if they would die in their sleep that night or die the day after. They even welcome and long for their ending and have given up on living. How could anyone hold on with even an ounce of determination for living if there is such immense physical and mental pain? How can we even call ourselves humans if we grant each other pain far worse than death?

 Apparently, letting a patient die by cutting off their life support and allowing them to starve to death is legal. What makes even less sense is that this method of allowing the sick patients to die is legal, while the other painless and quick method of death is illegal. This is absolute blasphemy. What kind of sick world has this one become. This method is not for peace but suffering. How this method is approved and legal is beyond a mystery and comprehension. To put it simply, it just makes absolutely no sense. I suppose in other words the government wants their sick patients to die in long and painful deaths. 

It is simply more logical and human to allow these patients to die painlessly. Dr. Jack Kevorkian has only been trying to help his patients and simply has been following in his beliefs. He is so determined and strong in fighting for what he believes in that he risks his freedom to fight for it. Dr. Jack Kevorkian has done nothing wrong. That is why it is extremely erroneous and immoral that he was sent to jail for eight years.  This action of the government makes me further question its system and morality.  They sent an innocent man to jail and stole eight years of his life, but Dr. Jack Kevorkian did not give up. Even after spending his time in prison he still had the same beliefs and determination. He is truly a remarkable man in more ways than one. He cares for his beliefs and his patients; money is not so much as an issue to him.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian even lives simplistically and humbly for a doctor. He does not get paid for helping his patients to pass on. That said, he does not have much money and therefore cannot afford to have fine materialistic items. There is no such thing as a limit of passion and determination for this man. He deserves so much better while other doctors and people degrade him and think that he is crazy. These ridicules are considered petty and insignificant to the doctor and do not at all hinder him from pursuing his beliefs. These are just extra proof of his powerful resolution. It is a great shame that the rest of the world is unable to understand his views, and it is also upsetting that they cannot comprehend the simple logic to the injection method. It is fine for people to not agree with his beliefs, but they should understand just how amazing of a person Dr. Jack Kevorkian really is.

   Humans are interesting creatures. We are the outcome and results of the game “the survival of the fittest.” Although, we did in fact make that game ourselves, or better yet, simply gave it a name. We can practically be any adjective in the world since everyone is different one way or another, or everyone is the same one way or another. I suppose depending on how you look at it, you could agree one way or the other or even neither. We are in a way the creators of this world, and the divine sovereigns that rule it. There is apparently no other creature that is superior to us. We are intelligent, apparently more intelligent than any other living creature. We are overly complex beings and yet simple. We are each different and yet have the same base. There are still many questions left unanswered regarding us which could possibly be never answered. If we cannot answer our own questions than I wonder who can.

   We have gifts unlike any other creature, and there are so many us in the world. Even though we may not be able to understand each other by language, we are still able to communicate through other means. We developed society as the way it is now and we all adapt to it. We have emotions and we developed religion. The list of our abilities can go on and on, so I suppose that we are indeed special. I am guessing the world was created just for us. Each person lives only once, but what if there is a parallel world. Even if there was one I suppose we would not know about it anyway, so who’s to say there isn’t one. Now all the bizarre ideas come to mind, would there ever be a time machine. If one does get created, I am guessing that would be a distortion in the whole balance of the universe idea. I guess things like those are not meant to exist, I think the world would erupt in chaos if they did. We are amazing creatures, but I am guessing there should be limitations to some things.

   I can’t help but wonder what the future would be like. There is an end to everything which includes us and the world no? It could be ironic in which we created the world, and we could destroy it. The way things seem to be going for the world right now is not the best. We probably cause more problems than solutions, judging by the way global warming, world hunger, and all the other major world problems are in effect. If there is an end to everything then these problems would disappear as well. Then again, I wonder if there is such a thing as forever.
