Let's Do Photosynthesis!!

It's finally spring... I mean, me as a temporal citizen of the European Continent, literally earth you totally forgot how to spring, but now we are getting there, maybe a few days late but it's manageable. I come from a warm country, where our winter lasts between one and three weeks and our coldest weather is 0ºC at night! So obviously I'm used to an extreme amount of sun in my system, when it's cold I usually go outside and take a quick dose of what I like to call "Photosynthesis".

My meaning of Photosynthesis is not just this funny thing plants do, but also (encyclopedia language style *on*) the action of an average age human of going to lay, not sit, in a bank where the sun is enough to warm this person and perhaps to give this being a tan, it's important to remember the human need a bottle of water to prevent dehydration, and to prevent the need to stand up from a comfortable spot and break the cycle of laziness; this action may or may not include good music; and it's recommended to realize this action while skipping a class you don't really need to be in, and would result worse if you assist after a long night of Facebook and with the homework incomplete.

Unfortunately here in Germany my school don't have the installations needed, and the time just doesn't work, but I have the beach nearby and it sounds like a new turn in the evolution of Teenage Photosynthesis. I share this because I commonly use this term to express myself and people are like "are you crazy girl", but I find the terminology pretty awesome... I have a dream, a dream where everyone is equal, where everyone knows my ultra-mega-super-cool word ;).

wwiii... Not For Me Thank You.

During the thousands of years the human kind have written history, there is a track of lots of Wars all around the world and from different levels of intensity. Starting from the times of Troya, of the Roman Empire, of Sparta; to the times where war was about the Catholic Church; to war were they fought in the New Continent, to war of Freedom, of Change, of Revolution, to just a century ago where men and women got crazy about power and lead the people to chaos, to those 2 wars where everyone was involved in and everybody lost.

But it's been to long trying to keep peace, but at the same time of thread, times to prove who is the best, and to prove that the human brain can create monsters and weapons not to protect themselves or to get to an agreement but to destroy to bring the other one down, and if that doesn't work to blow the whole roundy thing we live in. Am I scared? Not really, yes there is tension in the air lately, but I think and hope the right path is taken. So no, World War Three is not here yet, it's kind of disappointing in some sort of way, but no thank you, if it's not worth it, then please keep it.

But true, I do expect a "war" in my generation, fighting for what we are capable of, fighting for a union, because my generation is globalized, for me there are no borders, everybody is the same but at the same time everybody is unique and original, we're looking for expression, for culture; we'll try to prove that to the old ones and maybe a little movement is needed, maybe just having a good idea and not letting them change it is enough but I'm telling you I smell revolution, I see something coming, let's take the braveness of those in the French Revolution, and erase the violence. Let's keep it cool and keep it possible.
