Entry #6 Movie Night AND Halloween

Witches, Ghosts, Goblins, and Scary Tales, the joys of October. I love when it is this time of month because stores start to have many Halloween theme decorations and costumes. I also admire the neighbors that decorate their lawns and get into the holiday spirit. Oh, and the love I have, for the Fall colors!

On the other hand, the weather is a little bit nicer because there are some days where it's windy out, instead of the excruciating heat, beaming on my skin. This weekend I get to attend, watching GooseBumps and Halloween. Growing up, I loved hearing stories from the GooseBumps, books; especially when my librarian teacher would read them to the class for October. She would read them in a spooky like tone, and have sound effects, towards the thrilling parts. So I'm glad they're starting to make the movies.

This month is also my Anniversary, so I'm happy to be celebrating both my anniversary and Halloween at the same time. My wife and I plan to go to a Pumpkin Patch, have dinner, and give candy out to the children that are Trick or Treating; while watching Scary movies. We also decorated the house in Danger/Crime tape, Skeletons, and Trick or Treat signs, and more.

I honestly, love Halloween and for next year I'm hoping to go to haunted houses and dress up for Halloween parities. But for the meantime, it's Michael Myers movie marathon, baking brownies, and cookies, while serving candy type of Thirty-First!

Entry #5 Fresh

Food for thought. When I think about the food I ingest it makes my stomach cringe. I feel terrible for the animals, and not being able to substitute what I eat with another type of protein, saddens me. I could become Vegan, but as a Diabetic, I need a source of protein and meats. I'm not well educated on the different types of meat, but if there's anything besides pig, chicken, or cow meat I can eat, I would like to.

I feel that animals don't deserve to be treated the way they do; even if it's the circle of life. Imagine it being the other way around, and all the animals ate humans instead. People were tossed around and abused ready for the animals to intake our organs and the flesh on our body.

I felt like the audience of the film was anyone that intakes food or anyone taking in educational purposes or just wanting to know something about Food Industries. But also the film is for anyone interested in where their food might come from. The tone for this film was informational. The movie gave a lot of insight on how people take care of their farm animals, but also how they feed humans; because that is basically what they're doing. Killing the animals to make pork or chicken, etc and making some money off food for us to survive. Aside from this, the film made me think of all the suffering animals, and what they might be feeling or going through. I also thought about all the food I intake and how it's scary to one day eat the wrong food, then it's a possibility for one to become sick. It's just sad, but this movie was important to watch.

I think that Americans should have the right to know what we're eating; as it pertains to us and could possibly be cooked wrong one day; not to mention our health. We could also take in considerations that not all people cook food correctly, or that what we eat could be harmful. It's also just good to know about preparation, how the food is cooked, and where it might come from.

We as Americans should care. There are people that die from getting sick from eating bad food. That can be prevented if more people knew about the situation and go passed just  thinking about the money, and take better care of the food we eat. 

Imagine making more money that way instead of people not wanting to eat a certain food because they're worried its not good and something like food poisoning or Ebola will take effect. Hence, anywhere you go to eat, ask around about their food.

Entry #4 The NEED to Talk About Task Work

I'm most certain everyone has felt the need to exhaust all their thoughts or to de-compile some of the work load that they have on their plate. But has anyone truly had so much on their to-do list that they just want to drop everything and take a vacation for a few days? Possibly even weeks of vacation?! Task management is hard for some people, and I'm included in one of those people. Never the less, I do like to be organized and to complete work prior to it being due; for example, homework, and other work such as: cleaning, laundry, etc. But lately I've been so overwhelmed and have been doing everything last minute.

Many people would say that using a planner or writing out notes would be very helpful. So, I have started to challenge myself in doing so. I have also challenged myself to stay focused and keep myself motivated; whatever it takes. I stumbled upon a website that gives tips on managing time with anxiety. But does this thought process really work? And is there anything else that does this trick better than this?!


I understand that everyone has different ways of dealing with or figuring out how to manage their time. Others don't have the option and it comes natural, but the task work is starting to become a routine, and I don't have time for anything else it seems these days. I suppose that comes with having full on responsibilities, but it would be nice to not have so much to do in one day.

 With this being said, my goal for the weekends to come, is to wake up and have absolutely nothing to do. If that doesn't happen, then to have only two-three tasks on my list. So I'm able to sleep in a little more.
