Man who stopped line of tanks

Today's video showed a video of a man laying down his life in order to do stop the tanks, he probably believed they're shouldn't be war. He stood in front of those tanks in Tienanmen square, his identity is still unknown. I'm not sure what I would die for, there isn't much that I would die for. I guess if I had a family I would die for them, but I don't at the moment so I'm not sure if there is anything I would die for. I mean I think I would like my chance to experience life before it's over and it's like I didn't even exist. We say we would die for things, but if we were faced with that choice and had to make a decision in seconds, would we really lay down our lives? Is it really normally to have to spend hours upon hours deciding to lay down your life for something you already said you would die for? If you say you would die for something, and you had to die for them, then why would you not be able to do it in a matter of seconds, with barely any thought?

Laughing With

I think the video performance was really good and interesting, and she had a very lovely voice. I don't really get what the point of the lyrics are though, your not laughing at unicorns in the hospital or in a war, but if nothing big is going on then they do. My interpretation could be that there is a time for everything, sometimes its okay to have fun, but others it's time to get serious, there's time for work and there's time for play. I get her point though, that we shouldn't laugh at god at all, but we don't really seem to care as much when we're juts fooling around at a party, as opposed to being in a position of great struggle.

Sesame Street

Today's blog shows a video from the early 70's, a sesame street music video. Sesame street if I can recall was never really a big thing for me, even as a child, I don't think I used to like people dressed in costumes, I preferred cartoons. I think the secret to their success is they probably juts caught on with the people, maybe it's the fact they incorporated un-real characters into real life, like a 6 foot pigeon. I always feel weird watching something I watched in the past, or even visiting a place I've been in the past, it just feels so much more different, because you have a memory of what it's like in your head, but your mind is a lot different from how it was as a child, so seeing this sesame street makes it look a lot more old than it did back then, because of the way technology is advancing.

Gossip

Today's blog shows a video about a guy talking about how gossip can be hurtful. I personally think this guy's video are really boring, Sunday school stuff that we all learned as kids. He doesn't even have his own perspective on it, he just says what everyone else says, "we have to watch what comes out of our mouths" like we didn't know that already. We've already got plenty of information saying how things like gossip is bad, another guy on his video account on the internet posting videos without showing his face juts doesn't make much of an impact on me, I don't know about others. If we justified his opinion, and made came up with a fact about it, or even a metaphor it would have been better in my opinion.

It's not over

Today's blog talks about how things are not over even when they're over. I didn't really get much of an impact on my life from this video. Obviously if you think something's over, and you were wrong and it continues on, then you were wrong and it's not over. What's the big deal about being wrong about an assumption? I think that the football game would have gone on differently if they thought that he would score a touchdown in the remaining 4 seconds though, they were most likely off guard. Maybe if that family didn't separate for a bit, they wouldn't of gotten the break they needed, and the changes they needed to make with their lives. I think sometimes it's necessary to go through hard times, in order for you to get to the good times.
