Memorial Day

I was at a friends house during Memorial Day and I heard some touching music I suppose.  I almost thought his parents were playing instruments but it was just the TV out in the living room.  I didn't really celebrate it and I was just sitting around playing video games.  I did think about it all week though so that's good.  We celebrate for the freedom we are given by soldiers who have died for our country.  The opposite of that is Veterans Day which is basically celebrating for the ones who survived and served our country.

Weird May Celebrations

There is a celebration for every day of every month almost but they aren't major so people don't really celebrate them.  Their are tons of random ones but for times sake I'll just talk about May.  May is apparently national month for smiles.  Some other great celebrations in May like National Barbecue Month, National Bike Month and a bunch of other ones that I quite like the sound of.  If you weren't already excited there is also a National Blood Pressure Month in case that might already be rising.  May the fourth be with you and if you love nature there is love a tree day on the 16th.  Of course to top it all off the best day other than my birthday on the 5th would be the 20th which is Pick Strawberries Day which I could go pick and eat strawberries all day.

Violence on TV

TV has been around forever and action movies and intense moments and drama which has all been around since black and white times.  I haven't watched TV in a long while and if I saw any it was on my parents TV for a little while.  Most people would only flip on their TV to watch the news then turn it off.  They don't really watch violent shows they watch comedy or other stuff.  TV is kind of not worth watching when you can have Ad block on Google Chrome and just watch anything without ads which many sites don't like.  No one really wants to see ads unless they are funny on TV and plus they just create a lot of wasting of time to wait for what people want to see and suspense that some people just don't care for.  There isn't that much violence on TV it just depends where your at and it's not like you ever have to change the channel.  As people go on they pick up things from other people that they follow.  They follow people through their actions and looks sometimes.  Kids are a great example of followers.  Most people would assume showing violence on TV will bring kids to do violence and now they are given more at a younger age without supervision that they should have.  Parents are not as strong as they used to be and standards are changing for what's allowed.  I'd say an age of decent maturity might be 13 depending on if they are mental or not.  An example of violent TV show would be Happy Tree Friends.  It seems very kid friendly at first then all these cartoon characters get totally massacred and that's how pretty much every episode is. 

Cinco de Mayo #My Birthday

Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, celebrates Mexico's victory against France in 1862.  Sometimes if you go to Walmart you can see them in the parking lot dancing.  It's quite entertaining and maybe everyone should jump out of their car and dance for Mexico.  Not like we have anything to lose.  Plus it must've been pretty significant if they have been celebrating it for this long.  Mexico and the United States should probably be the only ones to celebrate it though, but who knows.
