Pro's and Con's

Hey Bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Blogging is a very new skill I have acquired this past year, due to my English teacher who has forced us to do this as homework. Even though everybody hates homework, blogging can be somewhat productive.  Place an emphasis on the somewhat. Anyways, blogging has various advantages and disadvantages which everybody should consider, especially my over achieving English.

The good aspects of blogging are many, yet somewhat unimportant. Blogging allows a writer to freely express his opinions to the public, in an anonymous way. He can share his ideas and get feedback from the public without the censor barrier. In addition, you’re allowed to artistically design your webpage as you wish, making this artistic side of blogging very fun. But, blogging also has negative aspects which are important to keep in consideration. Blog can put the writer’s safety in danger, especially if the author uses personal information. This is due to the fact that blogs can be completely public, and a crazy individual can eventually come across your blog and text. Also, due to the informal style of writing which is employed in a blog, instead of improving the writing of the author, it can negatively affect the grammar usage of the writer.

So, as seen, blogging has various vital pro’s and con’s which must be taken into consideration in order to correctly judge blogging as a positive or negative thing.

Good Bye

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Studying in an international school has many advantages, such as great teachers, incredible education, and a diverse group of friends from many back grounds and nations. One learns many things in these learning institutions, and the people you meet are all unique and unforgettable. Yet, international schools have a single flaw which, although it is almost invisible during the school year, it sneaks up behind you and bites you in the back when you are having the most fun. Unfortunately, at this time of the year, some of your best friends leave to other countries to start again from scratch and, in most cases, communication is lost forever. It is sad, but it is the way the cookie crumbles for students in international schools.

Yet, one must not forget the memorable moments spent together with those who are leaving us. We have laughed together, cried together, smiled together and even been through detention together. We survived through our first year of high successfully (well, that’s kind of debatable) and managed to, through the years, become a band of brothers and sisters. I am confident that those who move on will cherish the memories here in Venezuela forever.

Dancing together, laughing together, living together, being immature together, and even crying together will be the best memories, so, for those of you who are moving, please remember us here in Venezuela, keep in touch and always know will be waiting with a warm welcome. No matter you are (Argentina, Brazil, the US), we love you and Venezuela will be your home. And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

High School

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! If you ask anyone in my high school what is the most stressful time of the year, you would get a unanimous answer; the end of the year. There are various reasons for this incredible phenomenon. For starters, the final tests are taken at this point of the year. This world class torture consists of seating in a classroom for a total of 10 hours, either watching your grade plummet, or working your but off in order to complete the test and get a reasonable grade. If this is not bad enough, the test is worth 20% of your whole grade, making studying a vital part of this exam. As a result, one spends countless of boring hours studying to get a mediocre grade. The stress this creates if, without a doubt, one of a kind.

To top this off, the end of the means, for all students in international schools, the last few weeks with valuable friends who are moving away forever. Naturally, close friends seek to spend as much time together as humanely possible, even if it means living together for the last days! Unfortunately, these plans are usually prevented by the horrible monster known as finals. So, some people get frustrated by the fact that someone will leave forever, and instead of taking advantage of the last days with that person, they are stuck at home with their heads in books. The anxiety this creates is usually overlooked by those in the educational institutions, and can even cause a decline grades.

As see, there are many factors which are constantly tossing and turning in the wild ocean of random ideas that is the mind of a typical high school student. And, unfortunately, we have to learn how to deal with it, since the future is not looking too bright when it comes to the elimination of final exams!

Venezuela

Hey Bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! I am fortunate enough to live in one of the most beautiful nations in the world, Venezuela. This is a Caribbean country located on the northern tip of South America, and it is known for its natural diversity. From the tallest waterfall, to the biggest rodent, almost anything which can be related to nature is found here. The Andes Mountain chains starts in this nation, making it an ideal destination for hikers and mountain lovers. On the other hand, the warm Caribbean is the beautiful ocean which washes on the shore of Venezuela. As a result, the world’s most beautiful beaches are in this country as well. White sandy beaches and turquoise waters are not uncommon around this particular nation. Finally, the great Venezuelan plains are in the central area of Venezuela. Known as ‘Los Llanos,” this area is famous for its diversity in wildlife and huge floods!

The capital of Venezuela is Caracas, a busy city filled with cars and people. However, this city is also in constant contact with nature, due to the fact that is at the base of El Avila, a gorgeous mountain which overlooks the city.  Even though Caracas is not safe in some areas of the city, this town provides entertainment for the whole family.

Venezuela is recognized as one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world, and I can say with confidence that I am proud of being a Venezuelan.

Aruuuuuubbaaaaaa

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! About 4 weeks ago, I embarked on one of the most memorable vacations I have ever lived. The destination was Aruba, a small Dutch island just north of my home country Venezuela. This tiny, yet incredible, island has among the most beautiful beaches in the world, and the activities and events it has to offer are, without a doubt, unique. It is the perfect combination of the Caribbean life style and American touristic commodity.

If you enjoy breath-taking Caribbean beaches and lushes 5 stars hotels and resorts, then Aruba is the island for you! The beaches at this island are ranked among the most beautiful in the world. The white sand is unbelievable, and the crystal clear, turquoise colored water seems to be a picture straight out of a post card. In addition to this, all the water sports and activities the hotels have to offer add even more awe to this magnificent island. All activities, from tubing to wakeboarding, are offered on the beach, and the thrill these activities provide is something indescribable. Finally, for the privileged society of scuba divers, Aruba has wonderful dive sites and ship wrecks with more variety of fish than anywhere in the world!

In the short week I spent in Aruba, I had the time of my life. The water activities, beautiful beaches and incredible activities unite forces and create the perfection vacation spot for the whole family!

The Japanese Disaster

                Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Unfortunately, there are often chapters in the pages of history which are affected negatively by horrible disasters brought upon the brutal forces of nature. In the past 3 weeks, the nation of Japan was confronted with one of the worst disasters man has ever seen.  What makes the events in Japan even more devastating is that no one, but a triumvirate of happenings has shaken Japan to its core; a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, a terrible tsunami, and finally a nuclear disaster resembling that of Chernobyl in 1986.

                It all started midday of March 11 2011, a date all Japanese will remember for the years to come. Even though this seemed to be a typical day at work, at 2:46pm local, Japan experienced a 9.0 earthquake whose epicenter was in the ocean a couple of miles north of Japan. Although  it was the biggest Earthquake ever recorded in Japan, this event itself did not cause as many problems, due to the rigorous building codes implemented in Japan. But, since this massive earthquake had an epicenter in the ocean, the most terrifying natural disaster was created in a matter of minutes; a tsunami. This 100 foot high wave rushed towards Japan, and trashed the northern coast (especially a city called Sendai). To make matters worse, the tsunami sabotaged the systems at one of Japans main nuclear power plants, causing the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986.

                It is clear that this chain reaction of events would destroy the moral and structure of most of the nations around the world. Even though thousands are dead and millions are homeless, the high moral and order held by the Japanese society is truly admirable. It is our duty to help the poor Japanese, by donating to the Red Cross and other organizations with the ability to help.

The Incredible Arab Unrest

                

                Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Currently, a set of uprisings in the Arab world have been front-page news for almost 2 months now. This incredible chain of protest started in the small country of Tunisia, were a fruit seller violently burned himself to death in order to spread awareness about the oppression in this country. This, seemingly unimportant man, ignited a revolution in Tunisia that overthrew its extremely corrupt dictator. Setting Tunisia as an example, the people of Egypt decided to overthrow their dictator, Hosni Mubarak, who had been in power for 31 years. For about 2 weeks and a half, this leader struggled to gain control of his people. However, after a series of very violent riots, this person had no other option but to leave in order to keep Egypt at peace. The third country to be influenced by the wave of protests which has struck the Arabs is Libya. Once again, the people of Libya were demanding that their president, Muammar Gadhafi (who has 41 years in power), step down and allow others to take his place. Unfortunately, what started as peaceful protest has become a civil war, thanks to the morally wrong way with which Gadhafi had been dealing with the riots.

                The sick minded dictator, Muammar Gadhafi, decided that the only way to abolish these revolts once and for all was to ask his police to go to the streets to beat up or shoot any rebel rebelling. In addition, he demanded that his fighter jets take to the sky and bombard the protest when they were taking place. For obvious reasons, neither the Libyans nor NATO has been happy with the way that Gadhafi dealt with the situation. In order to overthrow the dictator, some Libyans formed an army and set out to conquer Libya by defeating Gadhafi’s forces. On the other hand, NATO has also decided to do their part, and all the major powers have come together and bombarded Gadhafi’s military. These nations include USA, France, England and Italy.  As seen, Muammar Gadhafi chances of remaining as Libya’s leader are becoming bleaker by the minute, yet he is still holding on to power somehow. Hopefully this ordeal will be over soon, and the Libyan people will not have to suffer anymore under the hands of the murderer Gadhafi.

Russian Revolution

                Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! When one looks at any history book, there is no doubt that the 20^th century was among the most important (if not the most ) c century mankind has ever been through.  In short span of one hundred years, humans faced more challenges, cultural and technological changes than in any other century. Among the most fascinating, influential and important events that occurred during this amazing century was the Russian Revolution. During this political experiment, communism was a put to the test in the vast country of Russia, and unfortunately failed miserably.

                The Bolshevik party, which imposed communism in the great Mother Russia, was led by a group of men who firmly believed in Marxist ideals. Among these men are Lenin, Trotsky and the infamous Joseph Stalin. Led at first by Lenin, these individuals believed that all Russians should be equal, and that the group regarded as aristocrats should be eliminated. However, when Lenin was in power, they also believed that their leaders should be democratically elected, and that a private sector should be allowed in order for the economy of the new USSR to thrive. Under the leadership of Lenin, the Bolsheviks truly believed that communism would make Mother Russia a better place for all. Unfortunately, after Lenin died, the master of manipulation Stalin became the new leader of the USSR. Contrary to Lenin, personal gain was a priority over the good of the Soviet people. He implemented totalitarianism, which means that everything belonged to the government. He prohibited people from voting the public officials, and brutally murdered anybody who opposed him. To make matters worse, he used propaganda to such an extent, that the people of Russia adored him; even though he was the cause of 20 million people genocide (he beat Hitler by 14 million people).

                As seen, the 20^th century was fascinating, because even though technology was advancing at an incredible pace, it seemed that Human Nature was going back to its savage roots. The USSR was a great social experiment, which gave a reality check to the world. Even though the Bolshevik’s such as Lenin dreamed of an equal world, utopia is simply not an option in the real world. It is, unfortunately, the way the cookie crumbles.

Scuba Diving... It's AWESOME!!

                Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Recently, I was submerged (quite literally!) into a new world that I never had the chance to explore before. These past few weeks, my brother and I have been working hard in order to be accepted in the incredible world of scuba diving! Without a doubt, these times have been among the most enjoyable of my life, mainly due to this new experience that I have had the wonderful opportunity to explore. However, very surprisingly, I have had to study very hard in order to pass the tests imposed by PADI (the world’s recreational diving association) to be accepted in their prestigious organization.

                During my carnival holidays, I went to the beach, where I first had contact with the amazing world (and heavy gear!) of scuba diving. I immediately fell in love with the activity, and wished to become a certified diver. Once the holidays were over, I enrolled myself in a PADI certified course, so that I could have my license in no time. When I first went to class, I thought I only had to learn how to use the gear and I was free to go and scuba dive at my will. How wrong I was! Not only did I have to learn about the gear, but also just about everything that happens underwater. This includes the way water affects color, sound, floatability, and our own human body. Furthermore, I had to study for what seemed hours on end in order to pass a few quizzes imposed by the instructor. It has been very hard work.

                However until now, it has been worth every penny! Last week I went scuba diving for the first time, and it was an experience I will remember throughout my life! I consider myself a very fortunate individual to have the privilege of being a qualified diver.

The Great Jhonattan Vegas

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Well, as many of you already know, the past two weeks have been of great importance for my home country (Venezuela) when it comes to Golf. As a passionate golfer, these few weeks have been among the most important and thrilling of my golfing career, since for the first in the Venezuelan history a local won a PGA tour open, more specifically the “Bob Hope Classic.” In addition, this rookie tied 3^rd place in the world famous “Farmers Insurance Open,” where he played against the worlds’ top players. These include Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods. This is, without a doubt, an enormous achievement for this young golfer.

The accomplisher of this incredible goal is the humble Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas. Born and raised poor in an eastern Venezuelan city named Maturin, this individual showed great interest in Golf from a young age. His father, being a caddy, taught him how to swing a golf club with nothing more than a broom and a rock. Yet, despite the odds, Vegas showed great talent in this game and soon he was playing daily in the 9 hole golf course in the outskirts of Maturin. Soon, he started playing and winning tournaments, demonstrating to others his great talent. Finally, after training constantly with famous Venezuelan instructors, this talented golfer won a scholarship to study in the University of Texas. Here, he trained harder, until he won his first PGA tour championship last week.

The story of Jhonattan Vegas is truly inspiring, since he rose from being a humble child living in humbly in the Venezuelan country side, to a world class golfer, who won 1, 294,591 dollars in just two weeks. In addition, he has become living history by being the first Venezuelan golfer to ever win on the PGA tour, and that is something no amount of money can buy. He has proven that with practice, dedication and perseverance, you can achieve any goal in life.

Congratulations to Jhonattan Vegas on that incredible achievement!

Walk Like an Egyptian

Hey bloggers, this is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! A very popular topic that is currently circulating the Worlds media is that of the massive protest in Egypt. After 30 years in the presidency, the Egyptian people are demanding that the current president, Hosni Mubarak, leave the presidency in order for a new candidate to lead their country.  Yet, he is refusing to let go and, as a matter a fact, he is making matters worse by prohibiting internet and mobile network access throughout the country of Egypt. Also, riot control police have been dispatched to, through the use of rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons, control the massive riots.

In my personal opinion, the people of Egypt are setting an example for other countries, such as Venezuela, which are currently undergoing prolonged presidencies. Egyptians have gathered the courage to stand up against a force that’s has suppressed their rights for 30 years, and the international community should support and applaud this brave act.

In this blog post, I am going to try and encourage everybody who reads this to “walk like an Egyptian.” In other words, what I am trying to say is to speak your mind without fear of any greater force if you believe it is for a greater good, since this will usually bring great deeds upon everybody who surrounds you.  This is the reason why, it is incredible that the Egyptian people have risen from chaos in order to bring greater good; there truly is hope for the human race!

Buddhism

Hey bloggers, this is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! In my ancient civilizations class, my mind was exposed to a completely different culture than my own, that of Buddhism. Since I was born and raised a catholic, I find it fascinating how different our two cultures seem to be. In addition, it is incredible how deep and spiritually Buddhism is, yet they defy almost every rule of Christianity.

Buddhism originated from the teachings of an individual called Buddha. It is a common misconception to think he is the Buddhist deity, since the religion is named after him. However, this is completely false, since the Buddha himself said that no Gods exist. Moving on, Buddhist belief is that life is a cycle, and that every time you die you are reincarnated. This cycle is called Samsara. The ultimate goal in any Buddhist life is to reach the Nirvana state of mind. The individuals who accomplish this break free from Samsara and are no longer reincarnated; instead their soul is reunited with the universal soul.

 The people who follow this believe in the 4 Noble Truths:

1.       Life is suffering.

2.       This suffering is caused by ignorant desire.

3.       This suffering can be eliminated from one’s life.

4.       The way to end this suffering is to go through life with high morals and values (The Eightfold Path).

As seen, this life style differs greatly from our more familiar Western culture. Buddhist believes that the cycle of life is circular, that one reincarnates every time you die. However (since for them to live is to suffer) their ultimate goal is to break free from this cycle and reunite themselves with the universal soul. Finally, the only way to achieve this is to follow the “Eightfold Path,” and life full of respect and high morals.

It is clear that there are many differences and similarities between these two religions, and my ancient civilizations class has opened me towards this religion.

Christmas!

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Well, it is almost Christmas and this will probably be my last blog post until January. So, before I leave you until next year I just wanted to express why the holiday season is so awesome by telling you a cool anecdote!

December is the time of year where the whole world come together, puts aside all of their differences and celebrates! There is no greater example of this than what happened between the Germans and the French during WWI. It was Christmas Eve 1914, and the World was in the midst of a War. Despite the fact that the two sides had been fighting for almost a year, the Germans and the French found a way to stop the fighting for the night and celebrate Christmas with the sworn enemy. At first, both sides started singing Christmas carols from their trenches, and eventually both armies ceased fire and exchanged gifts. They exchanged valuables such as food, water and cigarettes. Finally, they ate together and went back to their trenches.  This happened all along the Western front, and was known as The Christmas Truce.

This is a truly inspiring story that, in my opinion, sums up the meaning of Christmas. That is to set apart differences, forgive your enemies, love your relatives, and share a peaceful nights filled with joy and laughter!

It has been a great year 2010 filled with great soccer games, surprising events, joyful reunions, and incredible experiences that no one will ever forget. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Call of Duty: The Truth Revealed

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning once more! Today, I have another subject on which I would like to comment on. With the new release of the block buster video game “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” I have decided that is time that somebody state the negative effects violent video games are having on society as a whole.

Lately, the mode in the video game empire is that of Modern Warfare, where the objective of every game is to kill as many people on the enemy team as possible. Although I personally love to play these video games, I do believe that it is important that to recognize the negative effect these video games are having on everybody. As most parents sit at home, criticizing the insecurity in the modern world, kids are almost constantly killing terrorist on a virtual. Although it may seem ridiculous, the sub conscious mind is unconsciously being trained to kill mercilessly while playing these video games. Think about it, do people ever stop and wonder about what will happen to the family of the soldier they just killed in the game? No, I didn’t think so. That is why it is ironic to moan about the insecurity levels raising in the world, while our future generation spends long hours shooting other human beings.

I am not saying that violent video games should be banned. In fact, I quite enjoy playing these video games myself. However, I do believe that the International community should stop whining about insecurity levels rising, when ten year old kids are killing virtual people for fun. Think about it.

The Danger of the Korean Conflict

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! As many of you probably know, last post I decided to give my opinion about a topic that is of importance in our modern day society. For example, I decided to talk about my opinion about Facebook and other social networks. To be honest, I really enjoyed writing about my thoughts and feelings, rather than about others people’s blogs. So, I will be doing it more often (just giving you a head ups).  In this post, I wanted to express my deep concern about the dire situation both Korea’s are in.

Since 1953, when the Korean War came to an “end” (they technically came to an armistice), the peninsula of Korea has been divided on the 38^th parallel. At the north is North Korean, which is a communist nation, and at the south is The Republic of Korea (the democratic country). For the past 50 years, both of these countries have lived at peace with each other. However, this week the armistice was clearly broken by North Korea, who fired artillery missiles to their neighbors. You might be asking yourself, why is this so important? Well, the problem is that in this situation two mayor powers have to take sides, China and USA. Unfortunately, in the Korean War, these two countries went all out against each other. If this happens again this year, it could literally mean the start of new mayor war, since these are the two toughest countries when it comes to their military.

Hopefully, the new leader of North Korea Kim Jong Un will eventually realize the damage he has done, and will attempt to fix it in the following days. I am positive that North Korea is well aware of the devastating effects that a new Korean War would have on today’s world. That is why the international community must come together in order to solve this issue.

Facebook and Chocolate: The truth

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in after a long, long time! Today as I sat staring at my computer screen, I had no idea about which blog to review. So, after I thought I had spent too much time feeling sorry for myself, I decided not to review a blog at all (I know, quite an epiphany, wasn’t it?). In fact, I have decided (by using this blog post) to give my opinion on what has become a huge aspect of the average teenager, social networking (pretty deep, right?!).  

Nowadays, people check their Twitter, Facebook, and My Space more often than they check their own bank accounts. For most high scholars in my community, checking Facebook has become a part of their daily routine, and in fact, it is sometimes considered a higher priority than that of homework. I can understand why people enjoy checking their social networking pages, since they are a great way to catch up with old friends who are sometimes thousands of miles away. However, N.A.B.B feels that social networking has replaced the good old days when people met personally in order to discuss about their lives. You might be asking yourself, why N.A.B.B cares so much about this issue? Well, nowadays the international community is constantly complaining about the inactivity and, somewhat laziness, of our generation. Yet, they have never even stopped and wondered if Social networking could be causing problems such as obesity and bad grades.  Apart from this, Social Networks are used in many occasions to cyber bully individuals, and this sometimes results in depression and even death.

N.A.B.B is not asking the readers of this blog of this blog to stop using Facebook, My Space, and Twitter completely. In fact, it loves that these social networks allow individuals from all over the world to stay in contact with each other. What this blog in trying to state is that, in basic terms, Social Networks are like chocolate. Having chocolate once in a while can be great, however if you eat too much of it you will get a severe stomach ache. N.A.B.B sincerely hopes that all readers understand what it is trying to say, and that they will go to a park and play football more often. It is not that hard.

The Lost Symbol

Hey bloggers, this is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in for the second time today! In this post, I have decided to take a break from the usual blog commenting ordeal (it can get very tiring!) and review a very different literary source, a book. In addition, this book just happens to be by my favorite author of all time (if you read the first post, you should be able to guess who he is), Dan Brown. This author has written a variety of bet sellers, including The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, and (my personal favorite) The Lost Symbol. In this blog post, I’m going to talk a little about The Lost symbol.

In the book, Harvard symbolist Robert Langdon gets called to Washington, D.C in order to solve a very strange case. As many of you know, D.C is the city that has most conspiracy theories in the whole of the US. People believe that D.C has hidden Masonic symbolism in all of its monuments, yet nobody has proved this. However, when Langdon gets to this city, he finds himself immersed in a world where secret societies, hidden identities and strange happenings seem to prevail. Worse yet, he will have to fight for his very survival.

This book is, without a doubt, my favorite books of all time. The main reason for this is that you never know what will happen in the next page!  I absolutely adore the element of surprise this book has, since it will glue you to it and leave you thirsty for more.

Thanks for tuning in on N.A.B.B (once again!), I’ll keep in touch!

A totally random blog!

                Hey bloggers, this is your friendly neighborhood N. A. B. B tuning in! Usually, I have reviewed blogs that have a theme, such as dogs, cats and vegetables. However, today I came across a blog so random, that it only seemed fit to review it today. It is the only place where dollar bills, military facilities, and funny wedding cakes come together, this blog is called “weirdomatic.com.” It truly is: “The place where all weird things come alive!”

                For starters, this blog is one of my all-time favorites, mainly because of the randomness of it! Yet, the author still raises interesting points in the blog, such as the different uses a dollar bill can have. In addition to dollar bills, he also claims the interesting information you can learn, by just looking at an old building (which in my opinion is pretty cool). And finally, he posted extremely funny pictures of wedding cakes he has found on the wacky internet! The one where the bride throws a pie to the groom is priceless!

                So, in conclusion, the blog “weirdomaniatic.com” is, in my opinion, an incredibly random blog, talking about interesting topics. This fusion, although it may seem weird at first, has really worked in a great way for the author of this web page. So, every time you wind yourself bored on a Monday afternoon, this blog is the way to go! It really is entertaining and relaxing.

Vegetables and Me

              Hey bloggers, this is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Today, I have decided to review a blog about something that has caused lots of pain in my life… vegetables. Yes, you heard me correctly, there are a ton of web pages about vegetables out there and that supports my theory of the misuse people are giving to the Internet. Instead of wasting valuable space on boring topics like veggies, why not make more blogs about cats and dogs? Then again, nobody listens to me so, let us move on.

                The blog I picked is called “Get in the Garden,” and it talks about different stories and recipes the author has encountered using vegetables. These veggies include asparagus, lettuce, spinach and pumpkins (is that even a vegetable?). Also, the author shares lot of photos of her, her garden, and pets that are extremely charming. Although the blog can get really boring sometimes, there are useful facts and recipes that, I bet, some people might enjoy.  The highlight of this blog, however, is the photo of the author’s cat. This feline looks creepily similar to Huffle Mawson, the coolest cat in the world. But then again, it might even be Huffle, since he is absolutely anywhere there happens to be a camera.

                Finally, this blog is not really the kind I would write (I hope that statement was obvious!), because since I was just a toddler, veggies have ruined my appetite. But actually, this blog has really opened my mind, I wouldn’t imagine growing my own crops for food (I’d probably starve to death!). Especially, since I have been living in a city my whole life. Now I know that there is a whole universe filled with asparagus and spinach for me to explore (that does NOT sound very appealing!).

Dancing Dogs

What an AMAZING DOG (no offense cats)!!
