Blog on blogging

The blogs on my interests would be blogs on music.  A blog that would allow me to listen to the newest music, and download the newest songs.  The blog would also allow me to check up on the newest concerts as well as watch the concerts that I missed.  I also would follow a blog that is about sports, a lot of pictures about what is going on in sports.  Write about the incredible moments that only happen in sports.  A blog that i would write about is a blog about sports.  I would add a lot of pictures again of what is hot in sports, weather that is professional sports or college.  In college i would blog about all the events and parties that are going on, on campus and recount the fun that we had.  As well as put up a list of the events/meetings for the rest of the week so that people are all informed about what is going on on campus.  I would probably blog a few times a week but definitely on Sundays

conclusion

Every decsion that we make in our lives ultameltly will lead to either a positive or negative consequence that will have a lasting impact in our lives.  Mersault made his decsions based off of emotion and irrational thought which leads Mersualt on an unfortunate yet predictable journey to his demise.  Unlike Mersualt, my father has made important decsions in his life based on logical and critical thinking.  The consequences that occur based off these decsions have lasting effects on our lives.  Yet the consequences of these decsions can be controlled with rational thinking or irrational thinking.  Mersualts fate is sealed with his emotional decsion making which is similar to my father, as his fate was sealed with his logical decsion of coming to the states.  Yet both Mersualt and my father are different in the fact that their sealed fates are different, Mersulat, his demise and eventual exceution and my father, his sucess in his field of study and although my fate is not yet determined, I am confident that my logical and rational thought, I will be more sucuessful in my future goals than if I were to pick my college based off of emotion and pure excitement for the school.

Paragraph 4

Mersault, my father and I all three have made significant decsions in our life, that will signifcantly alter our lives, with every decsion made, there is always either a positive or negative consequence that comes with rational or irrational thinking.  Mersualts decsions to smoke and drink coffee and be disrespectful at his mothers grave was out of pure emotion.  However, the consequence for this action was that he was chastised by the rest of the community and accused of not really loving his mom.  Not having an emotion, not crying at his own mothers funeral, illustrated his lack of regard for his mother.  Since he was acting out of pure emotion, the consequence was extremly negative.  The persepective that people had of Mersault was significatly altered after his actions at the funeral.  Effectively, his lack of reagard lead to no effeort by the community to aid Mersualt in grieving but to use his lack of regard as a tool to get him into jail.  This effecively compares to my fathers decsion of having to either stay in Iran with his friends, or to go to the states and get an education.  The consequence of my fathers decsion to go to the states lead to him reciving his law degree, which was extremly difficult for someone who could barley speak english.  This lead him to recive more job offers and he started making a lot more money and becoming sucessfull. If he had stayed in Iran, sure he would have had more fun but with the revloution coming, who knows, he might have been killed.  Effectivley, both my fathers decsion and Mersaults decsions were made either out of logic, or out of emotion, thus leading to two different consequences.  Another one of Mersaults decsions was to kill the Arab out of pure emotion.  He had no reason to kill the Arab, yet he still killed him out of emotion and not logic.  The consquence of his actions was finally his demise and his execution.  Mersault's indifference about his trial also effectively communicates his lack of regard for even his own life.  All of these emotions are from irrational thinking and the consequece of his emotional actions is that he is ultamely killed and executed.  Not only is he executed, the community does not care for him or sympatize with him before he is killed.  All of these negative consequences arise from irrational and emotional decsion making.  Mersualt's way of decsion making effectively compares to mine, as I take my time and think about all the positive and negative consequences surrounding my decsion of where to go to college.  The consequence of my decsion will not be seen until later in my life, however if the future happens the way I calculated, my decsion to go to school in Los Angeles, is going to be the best decsion that I have made in my life.  The consequence might be that i dont have as much fun, but the payout of my sucesses will make it all worth while.  Unlike Mersualt, I am looking into the future and realizeing the consequences of my actions.  Mersualts looks only at what is happening in the moment and does not realize the consequences of his actions in the future.

paragraph 3 final

My fathers and my own logical thinking has lead us to make decsions based off of rational thought that has lead both my father and I on a more sucessful path in our lives. My father had to make a decsion at a young age that has made a lasting inpact in his life in a positive way. "Right before the revoluion, in Iran, my father at the age of 16 made me decide between staying at home and going to school with all my friends or go to the states, to a place unknown to me and study their without any of my friends" (Azadegan).  My father thought about this decsion for a long time and did not make the decsion based off of pure emotion and what he wants to do, he made it based off of what was logically the best thing for him, even if it means to give up his friends for a fresh and better start.  My dad did choose to go to the states and he did make the rational and logical choice.  This lead him to a more sucessful life as he went to college in the states and started working as a lawyer.  Rather, his friends back in Iran stayed, had a great time in Iran but the revolution happened and they couldnt leave and a few of them were even captured and killed. I have just had to make one of the biggest decsions in my life, where to go to college.  The decsion came down to wheather I wanted to stay home for college or to leave.  Although emotionally, leaving home and starting a new life somewhere else is more appealing to me, I had to be logical in my decsion making and realize that what I emtionally feel is better for me, is not necsearily rational for what I want to do in the future.  I will posibily have a lot more fun in another city for the first 2 years of college, but then what? Staying in a city like Los Angeles, might not be a change and might not be as fun as going somewhere else, but looking at my future plans and what I want to do with my life, staying in Los Angeles is where I will be able to sucuessfully reach my goals.  Both my father and I had to make decsions that will change our lives forever and unlike Mersault, we made these decsions based off logic and rational thought and not emotion.

paragraph 3

In my third paragraph I will be exploring the possibilities of what occurs when there is logical thinking and why people look at things more logically.  This occurs when you are extremely stable or have a lot of support, something that Mersulat did not have.  I will also explore the rational thinking and decisions that my father made while a new immigrant form Iran coming to the states.  There could have been a lot irrational decisions that he could have made, but he did not, and there is a reason for that, which i will explore in this paragraph.  I also will explore the consequences that occur when making logical and rational decisions and the effects that those decisions have on the future and especially on me in college.
