Fast Fifteen: Building Extra Credit
http://tinyurl.com/yzhjg5n
With my life I want to turn out on top. I would love to go to Temple University and graduate with a degree in Anthropology, Psychology, or Education. I would love either of these degrees and after I get these I would want to live in Seattle, WA or maybe Miami, FL. Though, my one friend is of dual citizenship with Spain and we always say that we’re going to move there and get married so it is legal for me to live there. It is very much a fail-proof plan. If this doesn’t work out I will try and find someone else to marry there if she finds someone else to marry even though both of us are very independent.

BFranklin: Moral Perfection
For his time period, these virtues may have seemed very average and achievable, though today these would only be followed by extreme Christians. Things are not the same now, like many people over eat for every meal, even for snacks, and almost every person in America drinks until he is tipsy or drunk. Ben Franklin believes people should only talk about topics that benefit others, though in America almost every channel is filled with pointless celebrity gossip. Along with no waste of speech, there should be no waste of space or time, you must keep everything in its place including business. Though many of his theories are irrelevant I think his thought on resolution is very true to the American Spirit, with the no giving up and following through on all your dreams. Within our lives, we waste so much money though we really should not, many people have cannot even fathom this. To get this money that you should not waste, you need to always be productive and work. Sincerity is what I live by I only say nice things, that’s all I have to say. Being nice to people is not only limited verbally, you also should not hurt people physically. You also should be nice in moderation, not too nice or too mean, it’s always good to say in the middle. Moderation also includes cleanliness, being dirty is disgusting no matter who you are. Another thing is, is that you always have to be in a state of calmness. Having this state of calmness is included in all situations, especially with a significant other. Just think “what would Jesus or Socrates do?”.

Words to Live By
The motto I live by is “I don’t mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you’re Barbara Streisand” said by Courtney Love. This quote just describes who I am and why I’m so fabulous. Sadly, some days I feel as though I’m a fallen diva such as Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard. When I hear and remember this quote, I know I’m a diva and people should be jealous. Elizabeth Dewalt even thinks so.

Five things to improve on.
If i could improve on one thing it would be my skills to catch men. I know I have good looks, but that is just the base one must have an amazing wardrobe as well. To get all these clothes, I would need a job and I could meet more gay men there, which would increase the number of men I know. Also, I need to learn how to play hard to get better, not uninterested. Also, I need how to control my self and not rush things, because that gives the wrong impression of oneself. Getting a car would also help.

Fast Fifteen: Sacrifice
If I had to find a reason to go to war, I would have to say it would be for my country’s people, culture, and economical/political ideals. My country is where I grew up, experience my life, and where my family came to get a better life so why would i want all this to go to waste. The people living here are my fellow citizens who put into the same government as I. We all use the same Constitution and pledge, but also watch the same national television programs, movies, or listen to the same top twenty hits on the radio. We are able to do this by our free trade economical system supported by our government. Our country is very connected, we all speak the same language for the most part, I could pick up a conversation with someone for anywhere in our country almost! How connecting does that feel? Most other countries have such a small connected world because of their size. We are a very unique and connected country which I would risk my life to keep going.

What Life is to Me
The loss of a life is the worst loss of all. Life is an amazing miracle which happens quickly yet carefully. Being able to breathe, laugh, talk, run, fashion, eat, and listen to music all make my life worth living. Knowing that I am alive is an amazing feeling, I can go anywhere and do anything I want. No one can stop me, I am the only judge of what I can or should do. All these are the most encouraging and uplifting statements said by man. With this ability to live, no life should be wasted, mistakes are made, people are forgiven, and people can love. Though this may be the case, extreme depression or illness can take over one”s life, changing someone’s lifespan one way or another. This loss can devastate some, though to me and my family, who are like the Fishers’ of Six Feet Under, showing our emotions on a large scale is a taboo. I deal with anything of importance by myself. I rarely rely on other people to fix my problems because I know what my life is to me and most people do not understand my situations like I do. Strokes are very common on my mother’s side of the family and my grandmother, who I love and am like very much, had a small one and this is the about second time I’m talking about it other than with family. I am a very strong person and it takes a lot to throw me off balance.

“I want your ugly, I want your disease, I want your everything as long as it’s free.”
I believe the ideal relationship must begin with trust, love, and attraction. Within the two partners hearts there must a belief that the other will not run off or cheat on the other. People must have that rock they can lean on so they can relax. Being trustworthy and also trusting is very important. Another big part of a good relationship is love, this might be the largest part of the relationship. Love is a feeling you understand when you feel it. Explanations of this sensation are unwritable and beyond words. Attraction is possibly the foundation of any relationship, whether it be sexual, visual, or emotional. This keeps the loving going when one goes away. Having a loving relationship is very fulfilling and makes many happy, these are just a few of the emotions to a key couple.
