Why I want to visit Paris

Paris France
when I was smaller I had the amazing opportunity to visit france, I stayed there for about 6 months with some friends of my mother and my father. We went there to learn about the culture and for us (My sister Kirby and myslef) to learn french. We stayed with really good friends of my mom. My dad mainly went because of the Tour of France, which is a huge bike race that takes cycalist though about all of Europe and it last about two weeks.

When we where there we got to travel all around france and go to amazing museams and parks, I think I went on the Effiel Tower about 7 times. When I went They where still letting people go to the very top and take pictures. I rember my mother bought me a teaset that is made out of porciline, and i also got a pair of wooden cloggs, that unfortunetly dont fit me anymore.

I would love to go back and eventually live there for some time. My goal in life is to learn french and be Tri-lingual. Who knows when that will happen but i hope it happens soon.
I want to go back and eat all the amazing food I had the chance to eat, I dont care if i get diagnosted with Diabetes.

Wtrite an essay about Mexico.

Mexico my new home.

 

 

Mexico is a beautifull place full with culture and history. I´m goint to start with the festive days. My favorite holiday here in Mexico is the Day of the Dead. I absolutly love this holiday, everything about it scream MEXICO to me.

 

What is the Day of the Dead?

The day of the dead is a day dedicated to all of the loved ones tht are no longer with us. It is a day where Mexican familys gather at the gravesite of their decease, and celebrate their life. Yes, i said celebrate, now this is why i love this contry. This day is ment not to cry but to remeber all of the amazing and fun times that we spent with our loved ones.

 

Now there are many things that Mexicans do on this day. It is known for the Altars. An altar is a step by step gate way to the other side, the alters where fisrt created by the aztecas, the believes that the altars would help fallen worriors get to the other side where they would be welcomed has héroes.

 

The altars are always different, but the should at least have the following elements:

3 to 7 levels or steps: These levels are the diferent types of goals that the soul of the decease had to go through, the altars that have 7 steps where considered by the aztects to be the 7 chalanges that that had to be won in order to have eternal peace.

Favorite food of the family member that passed: This is for the soul to have a full stomach before he starts his journey, This element of the altar should be located at the first step.

Clean clothes, socks and a pair of shoes: This is so the soul can have a fresh start, it should also be located at the first step of the altar along with a large bowl, with wáter and the family members higene ítems. Also for the same perpose other two mentioned before.

religous ítems:  Such as crosses and rosarys

Black dog and light elements: these two ítems help guid the soul to the other side, or to eternal life.

 

 

One other thing that i think is super cool about this holiday is that it is always a super big deal in cumunities. Last year in my High school in Puerto Peñasco, we had a dead of the dead celebration and we dedicated out altar to a very close friend of mine that I considered a father. He was the father of my best friend at the time. He had just passed away the 2 of October of last year. He was a very well known doctor in Puerto Peñasco and people from Caborca and even Hermosillo went to see our altar, i was the one who gave the speach about his life and all of his acomplishments. We where gifted with the presents of the Doctors ashes and we gave him his last deploma. We won the compition and we celebrated in he name, we made a beef stew which was his favorite food and we sang his favorite songs.

 

I love this holiday because it is a happy day although we are celebrating something trajic.

 

I honestly cant find anything wrong with mexico, i find it to be a beautifull place and i am honered to call it my home, i strongly believe that people that have the oportunity to live in Mexico, Should take advantage of the oportunity. Mexico will change the way you look at the world and you will appreciate things diferently. Come visit Mexico. I dare you.

Songs with violent lyrics make people violent and should be banned. Do you agree or disagree. 

        I do belive that this statment is true. i think some songs should be banned from the internet. But on the other hand i believethat the violent language is what gives the song its character and its feeling. Some rock songs have strong statments and violent sayings but its because that is what the singer is feeling durning that part of the song.

I belive that there are other songslike in the rap genre that should absolutly be banned. Most songs from a certain rapper (nikki minaj) should not be aloud on the radio or on any type of social site. there is no reason to use rude language that could potentialy be offensive to certain people.


The following lyrics are from a song that i think is a perfect example of violent lyrics, but with a great meaning. it is very strong but it is of great meaning.

Love can be a violent but beatiful thing. Love the way you lie. Eminiem & Rihanna.

Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall
Next time, there will be no next time, I apologize
Even though I know it's lies, I'm tired of the games
I just want her back, I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again, I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house
on fire:
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Childhood for a red head like me. Part one Blog #1

       



   
         I was born in Denver Colorado, USA; on the 7th of November  1997. My father´s name is Charlie Joseph Muratore and my mothers name is Staceey Wade Rothwell. My parents where older when they had me and they called me a miracle child. Why? Well, I was a risk to have for my mother, the doctors said that I wasn´t going to have a face, i honestly dont know why this was suppost to happen. My mother did not want to abort even thouhg there was about a 25% percent chance of me being born with a face.

       The day my mother went into labor she was ready to deal with the consequences of my birth, the fact that she could maybe loose her life because of a baby that she didnt even know yet didnt bother her, she wanted me and she knew deep down that I was going to make it out and that  both of us were goint to be okey at the end of the day.

      And guess what? At about 8:05 in the morning of November 7th 1997 I was born. This redish, round little ball of peachfuz was born. I was told that my dad passed out when he heard that I was what my mom called "perfect" and in amazing health,

       So my life from the start was already a great story. 

  Now i will say that my life has had it´s ups and downs has most peoples do, But I always thought that my story should be told, and now with the help of my Collage english teacher I have the oportunity to share the story with this blogg.

   I am an 18 year old collage student curently living in Mexicali Baja Califonia. If you don´t know where that is, it is found exactly under California, It´s the border town that shares the border with Calexico, About an hour or two away from San Diego. Let me back it up few years and explain why an american red head is living in Mexico.

    Well...
