I Wish I was Magical, or Cyborg Clones of People Existed.

This week's post is going to be about 3 people- dead or alive- that I would spend an afternoon with. I would choose Alexander Hamilton, Marie Curie, and Gordon Ramsay.

Alexander Hamilton, because I just have so many questions. How a kid that poor could grow into an elitist? Unlike most Americans, why did you base much of your political ideology on the writings of the philosopher, Hume? And a more awkward topic, why did you decide to have an affair? I think we would be to talk for about 30 hours until we pass out. But we don't have that much time, so I think 3 questions should satisfy my curiosity.

Marie Curie, because I want to hear her story from her perspective. I had researched her, and her life was especially interesting, due to the fact that she had to overcome so many obstacles just to get an education. I also think that it would be fun to witness one of her experiments and ask her questions on what she did, and why her experiments work. I would just tell her to not bring radium with her due to the fact that my guests and I would not enjoy the side effects.

Gordon Ramsay, because I want to try his food. He's usually very harsh on his trainees and I would like to see if his food is less than amazing. If it is I would probably use one of his own insults on him. I would also bring him along because of the fact that I wouldn't have to pay for my meal, I mean, he could just make it for me. Alexander Hamilton and Marie Curie would also be delighted (I hope) to try the food of this generation and this could be their chance to do it. (Of course they can't, I'm not magical.)

This would also take place in a restaurant. Gordon would have the materials needed to whip up a delicious meal, Marie would probably have the tools needed to run some sort of experiment (while also telling her story) and Alexander could stretch out, wait for Marie to finish her story, and then start answering my questions. This is actually really sad because I wish that I was actually able to do this. I hope in the future we could make cyborg versions of important people in history.

Let me know in the comments who you would spend an afternoon with.

Field Trips Are More Than Time Away From School

As my title states, field trips are more than time away from school. They are an euphoria after spending time, so much time at school slaving away over work. Now don't get me wrong, sometimes school is fun and engaging but sometimes you'd rather shave a strange old man's dank leg than get out of bed and go to school. Field trips are a necessity, like water. Water is liquid for the human body (obviously), and field trips are... food for the brain. They give you hands on experience with topics you're learning, are though-provoking and help learning experience, and plain fun. 

Who doesn't want to go to a museum and touch electricity, or go to camp and hang out with your friends while doing various activities that don't include pencils and paper. If our school took away field trips I'd probably scream internally and then externally. I would become a mock bull. Steam coming out of my ears, my face will flush red, and I would kick things. I would then quite respectfully ask the people responsible to get a brain check, and then I would leave. (But, knowing me I would send a apology letter.) I quite honestly don't need that negativity in my life. I need people who care about students' well being enough to allow field trips.

School is great and I wouldn't trade anything for it. Maybe because my future depends on it but field trips are a necessity to a child's soul and sanity.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Here, from the furthest edge of the galaxy, comes the weirdest proposition yet: a superhero gang that includes a talking tree and a wise-cracking raccoon. They're determined to save the world even if they have to rip through some bad guys. Sounds like a typical action movie. Don't get me wrong it is, but there is more to it. 

The main character whose name is Peter Quill goes by the alias of Starlord and was abducted from his parents as his mother was dying from cancer by some people who aren't necessarily human. Quill had found himself in possession of a mysterious orb that certain ruthlessly villainous parties would like to have, and this compels him to team up with a ragtag crew of space adventurers whose story takes place in surroundings made to look like classic sci-fi book. There is a huge creature in the shape of a tree called Groot, the enormous musclebound, oddly coloured hombre Drax, a female alien with the off-putting name of Gamora, and Rocket, a cunning little talking raccoon. The witty satire of the cast will make you wan to keep watching to the end and I suggest you go see it if you haven't yet. 9/10
