Where I Am From


I am from wood, from Irish spring and toberloom.

I am from the tall house on the hill by the swaying tree.

I am from the rose bush, and the oak tree.

I am from Mexican Train and talent, from Anthony and Amy and Bud.

I am from the caring and loving from be careful and call me when you get there.

I am from the heavens that watch above me.

I am from Cottonwood and Germany, milk and cookies.

From the back lot of MGM Studio where grandpa worked, and the training of the horses for the movies.

I am from Maui, where the breeze blows and the smell of flowers and the waves crashing on the shore.

Philosophical Objection

Everyone has a philosophical objection about everything. It can be about anything and everything, it doesn’t matter. Even if you think that everyone should just do what they are told, that person will object to something in there life at least once. It is in our human natural to object against something, and be rebellious to authority. Everyone I know has some opinion about something, like I do against abortion, people being mean to people, being way to races, not being someone’s friend because they are quite or doesn’t dress like you, being told what to do, how to dress, being bullied by a loved, and hunting. I object to way to many think and have opinions about everything.

Abortion is the biggest philosophical objection to me, and probably to many others also. I see abortion as murder, there is no other way to describe it other than that. I see it has you are willing to have the fun, but not willing to put up with the consequences. Now I know the babies have no idea what is going on, but what if that was to happen to you while in your mom. I know people have their many reason why they can’t have the baby, but you can find another way to get rid of it besides killing it. If that happened to me I don’t think I could possibly go to the clinic and do that, I would feel like the worst person in the world.

Hunting is also big to me, but instead of it being a baby it is fully alive. Yeah I know It is meat and all and it is fun but you have to think of the animal also. What if in your next life you become a deer or any other hunting animal. One day you are walking around in the woods minding your own business, your peaceful, and just eating. You start walking and you hear a noise so you stop, stand right in place. And the next thing you know you have a pain and your on the ground a few minutes later your dead. You would not like that at all. What if you are somewhere and your alone, you have been driving all day and really had to go to the bathroom, the place you stopped at didn’t look like a good place to stop but you really had to go so you don’t care you think ‘I am just going to go to the bathroom and be out, it will be fast nothing will happen’ you go into the bathroom, do your business, wash your hands, and walk out of the bathroom. You look over into the place you stopped and it has tons of food and right when you saw the food your stomach gorals. You than decide just a snack what harm can it do, even though this place your at gives you the creeps. You are looking around and you realize someone else is there also. You end up getting a sharp pain, the next thing you know your on the ground bleeding, the other guy stabbed you, he is a serial killer. The next thing you know your dead. That is another way to look at what people are doing to animals. I know they are not a human but they are similar in a way.

Everyone has a philosophical objection. and mine are against killing. everyone has a strong feeling about something, and everyone has different feeling to things. maybe you feel like hunting is fun, or abortions are something that is good for certain reason. but everyone has some philosophical objection to something, no matter who the person is.

My Hero

To me my hero is my dad. He has been through so much and still stands tall, high, and strong.
He has so many qualities that makes him a hero in my eyes. To me he has every quality of a hero, he is strong, kind, generous, compassionate, selflessness, entertaining, positive, optimistic, has inner strength, determination, out going, loving, skills, and courage. But out of all of these he is mostly strong ,entertaining, determined, loving, and has inner strength. No matter how many times he has been kicked, pulled, pushed, shoved, or hit off his high horse, he always finds a way to get back on and keeps riding.


With everything he has been through I don’t know how he can still get up in the morning, get ready and go to a long day of work. When he was little he probable broke every bone in his body or hurt himself in anyway he can, I have never heard of someone being in the hospital more than my dad. He has heart problems and he has a bad back and he broke both ankles, he has dropped a huge beam on his toe, and is getting old so everything that hasn’t been hurt is hurting him. Even though he has hurt himself in everyway possible he can still go work with electricity, be on ladders all day with his hands above his head. Now to me that it one strong guy.


With someone with so much inner strength and is strong, and been through so much you know he is going to be funny to be around and entertaining. He is the person you can go to if your having a bad day he always makes it better, or tries to, which makes it funny. No matter what time of day or what is going on he always is cracking jokes or singing funny around the house(you know those songs that always get stuck in your head, yes he sings those songs) or making fun of someone to make you laugh. He is the one that makes the whole table laugh with saying one comment and the laughs continue till later on that night. He makes every situation funny no matter what it is. Now he isn’t always positive but when he is still funny and entertaining to be with.


To me my dad is very loving and caring, he always has been and always will be to everyone he knows. Now it takes him awhile to get to be nice and loving to people but it doesn’t take much. He is the family man in the family. When your sick he is the one that will take off work to come home and take care of you. He will always be the one to take care of you if anything has happened to you. When hurt he is the doctor in the family. He will go out of his way to make sure you ok, and he will always let you know he cares about you.


A hero to me is my dad he has been through so much and it has made him who he is today. If the things that happened to him didn’t happen than he wouldn’t be strong, entertaining, determined, loving, caring, and have inner strength. Everyone should look up to there parents, they care about you more than you can think about, and you should care about them just as much. My dad would go out of his way to make sure I knew he cared and loved me, and make sure I knew he would do anything for me, and I feel the same way.
