If only the feeling of true self-recognition could be put into meaning,

Into a splatter of exploding visuals,

Into a serenade beautiful sounds,

Into a parallel reality where I am one with my inner parasite,

Maybe then, I could begin to explain the reason

Why I write.

This parasite within…

And how exactly do I coexist

with this symbiotic parasite?

or is it a parasitic symbiote?

Or is there not a difference?

But…

When I write…  

Am I channeling it?

Or is it channeling I?

I do not know…

BUT I STILL WRITE.

When the omnipresent universe decides to falsify my reality,

Where do I turn?

As if hope-ridden tears aren’t enough to satisfy its lust for pain,

Where else can I go?

Because seemingly, placing a barbed barrier stability and I won’t suffice-

What do I do?

I write.

I do not know why…

BUT I STILL WRITE.

Perhaps,

These hands of mine hold the words that refuse to roll off my tongue.

Perhaps,

These hands of mine hold the bittersweet idealisms trapped deep within my heart.

Perhaps…

These hands of mine hold the link to myself and the world-

My lobbying topic is based on curfew and the consequences that come along with it if someone doesn’t obey what needs to be done. I want to do this as my lobbying topic because those who believe that curfew doesn’t matter is messing up the fun for those who choose to be out late be can act responsibly. I also don’t believe that is fair that the parents have to pay a fee for the child that is being picked up for curfew. If not fair to those who are actually not flashing mobbing, but just hanging out have a good normal time. Just because every cop or adult wants to believe that every child is not out causing trouble, shouldn’t stop those who have self -control. I know this interest me the most because I’m 18 but all my friends are not, so some of our plans can even be followed through.

The supporters for this lobbying idea I believe should be the positives young adults that simply feel the same way. However they people who would be against this, would be cops and probably other adults who believes that these kids are only out here to start trouble. Then other people that will be against this is the children that are actually apart of the flash mob and feel differently about what should be done. I really believe something should be done because it’s not fair to the children who are being label as someone bad and they are actually being a positive individual.

My representatives in Senate are Bob Casey and Pat Toomey.

Bob Casey, on his website, states that "as a Senator from Pennsylvania, I am committed to protecting the environment, preserving our natural treasures, and safeguarding the health of our families," and states that energy and the environment are among his priorities. He says that he is strongly against fracking, and has cosponsored one bill that would "close big oil tax loopholes". However, based on the list of legislation he has sponsored and cosponsored, his priorities seem to lie much more with veterans and education. He has four daughters, all of whom are around my age, and he plays basketball – so I would definitely be able to start a conversation with him.

Pat Toomey, on the other hand, will certainly not want the bill to be passed. One of his slogans is "More Jobs, Less Government" (see image below). Because of this, he will certainly not want more restrictions on companies that could be producing more and hiring more. He even introduced the Employment Protection Act of 2011, which would make the EPA "consider the impact on employment levels and economic activity" before any regulatory action. The Clean Chemicals Act is certainly in conflict with this bill. I looked for interests he and I might share, and found nothing. I am uncertain how I will be able to argue for this bill against someone who so clearly is opposed to anything of the kind.

If the bill gets through Senate, it will go to the House of Representatives. There, my representative if Chaka Fattah (see district map below). Looking through his legislative record, it is clear that his priority lies with education – from early childhood care to college funding. Howeve, he also sponsored the Clean Energy Act of 2010, which would have supported research into nuclear energy and other forms of renewable power. Based on this, I think he is highly likely to support the Clean Chemicals Act of 2011. Because of his interest in education, especially public education, I would definitely try to start a conversation by talking to him about my school.

For the post part, my representatives and the people on the bill's committee look like they'll support it. However, the opponents of the bill look quite immovable: Toomey, with whom I have very little in common, and the various Senators who are strongly opposed to the bill and do not have any reason to listen to some girl from Pennsylvania.

Half-Past Learning In Spanish!

Telling time is an important part of life, if you go to Peru, or any other Spanish speaking country and say “What time is it” they will look at you like you have 3 heads. You need to say;

·      ¿Qué hora es? à ((Ke - Orra – ssss)) this means What time is it.

·      The appropriate response would be Son Las à It is followed my the time.

When it is 12 o’clock we don’t say Son las doce, even thought that IS an option. A lot of Spanish speaking people just use medianoché or medîodia. Medianoché for 12AM and medîodia for 12AM.

When you see any of the previous ^^^ in a time telling sentence like the following:
Son las media ocho. It means à It is 8 thirty

Son las nueve menos cuarto à It is minus 15 of nine. Meaning is 8:45.

If you see cuarto in a time telling sentence WITHOUT menos in front of it that just means its 15 minutes after ___Blank___

Ex: Son las cuatro y cuarto à It is 4:15

NOTE: how 4 is CUATRO and a quarter is CUARTO ..do not confuse to two!

Cloudy with a Chance of Spanish.
