VT Tragedy

It is all in the news the virginia Tech shooting. It was a shock to me.
What I dont get is how after shooting two people the school was not put on a Code red:lockdown.
Code red is when nobody is allowed in or out a class until all is clear. When someone you suspect is having problem or mentally unstable get them help. People through out the school knew he was not all their.
He should have been forced to go to councling or to leave the school.

Songs that Celebrate

Praise songs for Orishas
3) The relationship between the gods and humans in the praise songs is very close relationship. Every god has a special part in the humans society.

4) The tone of the speakers is very proud. They praise their gods. Their attitude is very joyful and happy. Proud of what they have accomplished.

5) The praise song that was most appealing to me was Oshun (river goddess). This praise song is like a mothers love. I have a close relationship with my mother so it made me think about her.

Young Adult

Being a young adult is good.
It is a lot different from the old days. know their is a lot of independence in being a young adult.
At age 14 you can apply for a job. A lot of kids my age drive to and from school.
So in being a young adult their is a lot of independence and trust involved. Being a young adult prepares you for ADULTHOOD. The Real world.

Capital Punishment (Death penalty)

Death Penalty I am against it. Who ever has killed or done wrong will get what is coming to them.
In some cases they might not have the right person. Some times they wont find out till many years later.
If that person is killed by the death penalty what can they do to bring that person back? NOTHING!
At least if a person is put in prison he will suffer the consequences and know that what he has done was wrong.

A Drop of Milk

Thinking Through:

1) A question I would like to ask about the events in this myth is Doondari how did he come about? Why did Doondari keep creating something new?

2) The first part the world was created by a drop of milk. From their Doondari created stone from stone, iron was created from iron, water was created and from water finally air was created. Doondari a last created man with the five elements.

4) Blindness defeats man because a man who can not see knows that, that is his purpose. Sleep defeats blindness because when you wake up it the morning knowing you will have your eyesight as oppose to someone that is blind knows they will never have their eyesight.

5)Doondari returns as Gueno because he is the eternal one. Some one who is eternal does not die.

6) The truth about human life is that we all came from nothing centuries ago. Know a days people are proud of who they are and where they came from.

7) If man had not been to proud their would be no competition, no one to impress. Their would be no defeats and we all would be the same in every aspect.

8) You can compare these stories to the Fulani because they all created man and they all wanted better. From their worse was created with everyone and fault.

9) This myth is not very satisfying in my opinion it is not very straight forward.

Music

MUSIC, I love it.
I listen to all types of music.
Music takes you places. Music has certain tones and moods.
That is what I like about. Music is awesome can't live without it.
Music to me is freedom of speech. You can release your self and say what you feel.
