Cynical Thoughts
This blog is devoted to irregularly timed opinions, ideas and creative story telling. The thoughts of a cynic, judge everything. None of it is meant to be correct, it is all merely speculations on this world from my eyes. Each post is about a paragraph long, each with their own topics. -Marshall

What If...
What if we were all the same? What if every human being looked exactly alike? Same mannerisms and same thoughts. In that world, people would not fight over religion and race, people would be equals and no one would be ignorant. But in this world, inventions would be missed, great speeches not made, chance would be taken over by a continuous mundane world. We live in a beautiful diverse world, it's not going to change. We need to stop looking at race, religion, looks and start looking for potential. But what do I know. I'm 15.

Lists.
1. Simplifying ideas to make them easier to remember
2. You can physically check off ideas with a list.
How
1. Focus on a single topic but not too specific.
2. Organize in a certain way i.e. by priority
3. Not too long, not too short
4. The point of lists is to remember what is on them, put it in a memorable place.

Genderized Music
If your realize it or not, music today is subliminally categorized within genders. Men usually listen to Rock (i.e. Metallica), Rap (i.e. Eminem) and Scremo (i.e. Broken Side). Notice that all these bands have songs about anger, sex, drugs and death. Through this classification these topics could be considered "Manly." On the feminine side we have R&B, Light Rock and Emo. These bands sing about love, marriage and a perfect world. These could also be determined as "female" topics. Of course, these are merely speculations at something far more complicated. Girls can like scremo or rock and guys can like R&B or Light Rock. But most people in the U.S. can agree that music today is aimed at certain genders.

Save the Internet
All of us have net neutrality, whether you know it or not. Net Neutrality means that every website can be accessed at the same bandwidths and no IP (Internet Provider) can limit that. So say Comcast wants its users to use Comcast Email so they cut off access or slow access to Yahoo, Google or AOL. Fortunately, its illegal to do so, but it could be changed! Comcast or ATT could cut off access to certain websites and charge to visit them! Take Netflix for example, if Comcast had the ability to limit Netflix you would have to pay to visit the site and pay for the service itself! Net Neutrality needs to be kept safe if you want to continue to visit any of your favorite sites without paying extra. Visit/Click Here for More Info: http://www.savetheinternet.com/

Race to Nowhere
BANG! The gun sounded and off the racers flew running on the track formiles and miles. But the scenery seemed to never change. The racers ran consistently and at perfect pace with one another. Some had water that they periodically grabbed and gulped down. All of them had different motivations but now there was only one goal among them all. Finish in the 10 mile race they had all started. After the longest time, in which nothing seemed to change, the buzzer beeped and the racers jumped off their treadmills. Finally, the race to nowhere was over.
