Se7en!!!!

So in class we were talking about a movie called "Se7en" it's a pretty cool and gruesome movie. In this movie one of the character's that went by the name of John Doe was a mass murderer but truly believed he was doing gods work. He killed people who committed one of the seven deadly sins. this topic was the cause of a lot of conversations in my class, Sweeney liked to ask did we think John doe was a better person than one of the characters Summerset that was actually the detective on the case along with his partner Mills. Mr. Sweeney made the argument that Doe was a better person because he seen something wrong and he took action where as Summerset just turned the other cheek on all wrongs being done in the world. I think that even though Doe did do something about people committing one of the seven deadly sins he did in an absolutely heinous way. Summerset was a very intelligent detective who used logical evidence to solve cases he was having a really tough time with this case because he wanted to retire. I really like this movie and I am going to watch it again lol.

My weekend in Boston

On November 8 I went Boston Massachusetts were I am from to visit my with my family that I haven't seen in a really long time. Our trip served multiple purposes, it was my great uncles birthday and his sister my great aunt had a stroke about a month beforehand. My aunt has always been a very vibrant and  beautiful person. It was heartbreaking to find out that all  of her favorite things were no longer in reach. Her speech is impaired and she can only say a few basic words like yes no and uhhhhhaaaaaa and she can't walk without assistance and. For her and everyone else it  was very overwhelming. Through all of this it was awes to see that her personality was still shining through, she was doing her best to smile and enjoy her family all being together. My uncle couldn't have been happier. We had a wonderful family dinner and great family time. While in Boston I was out with my cousins and we pulled up to this sign that made me instantly bust into laughter . There an alcohol store there called "Sweeney's discount liquors" . I just wanted to say congrats to Sweeney for selling good discount liquor

The Symphony

So for one of my out of class assignments I went to see the Petersburg symphony. Going in to the  performance I was sure I wasn't going to like it because classical music really isn't my forte'. I appreciate it but for my its more of night time go to sleep music. I tried to open my mind and try to enjoy the show but I just could there were so many things wrong with it far beyond the genre of music. To begin the selections were all patriotic which wasn't that bad but it wasn't anything that I could really get in to. To top all this off  the performance was horrible to my ears. The symphony was really playing off key it sounded like a group of middle school children was playing. Sooo that was a loss for me but its ok it was a learning experience for me and maybe they were just having an off day.
