Our World Is...

How I view the place we inhabit.

37
Our World Is...
Science All

When I open my eyes I see the world as a plain grass field full of possibilities extending to the horizons. A place where structures and opportunities can be built to enhance life for those who will live there. I see the world as a grass field in which a school can be built so that the opportunity comes to educate children. As a new school in an empty field, I see a school with the potential to educate children regardless of background, skin color, gender or religion and without any biases. Every child has the potential to learn, but in our world we wrongly limit some. The grass field will forever grow and change because nothing is ever constant, which is why we have businesses and houses. But everything becomes monetarily driven and soon we have big corporations and men and women who want power, and who begin to have more influence in the land. And soon grass field has become a place of conquest and bloodshed. Where lives have been taken to rule the land and where everything good in the field is threatened.

I see the world as an open field because in an open field anything can be built and provide opportunities. However, I see a world in which these opportunities such as education, the right to marry, vote, or to be free have been limited to certain people and in certain countries, when they should be open to everyone. I see a world that is crumbling because of lack of compassion. But I believe an open field is like an open mind where anything is possible and our world is an open field where anything is possible if we make it the best world we can imagine.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
