I keep forgetting to put titles

Here we are once again boys and girls, and Burge. Today's post is about Hamlet, so quit reading now. Hamlet is one depressed dude, and I guess hes not too happy about his uncle-father situation. I think the people in this play are on some major drugs, I mean they all see ghosts. The theme of the play is that way back when everyone was tripping out on drugs and seeing things. Bam, whole play figured out. There isn't any reason to continue reading about Hamlet and his depressive character. He really needs a hobby, one that doesn't involve talking to himself about how much of a whore his mother is, or talking to ghosts about being murdered. Hamlet just seems like a moody teenager, puberty is hitting him hard and hes completely overwhelmed. He's sad that he has a new dad and his allowance probably got cut or something. Oh how the teenage years are confusing. I'm completely off track, I doubt Hamlet is a teenager. Hes probably like 20, so 90ish in modern times. He should solve his problems by killing his uncle dad and "bed sheet jumpin' in" mom and take the throne. Then painting everything black and mourning about everything every day forever.

The "Man"

Once again, the dilemma of having nothing to write. Hamlet is interesting I guess. I'm not really getting into it. I hope it gets better at some point or this is going to be one boring read. I'm just not in the mood to write, read, or make a folder with Hamlet stuff in it. I'm not in the mood for anything really. Probably because I'm sick and hate everything because I'm sick. Being sick sucks, being around sick people sucks. The guys in Hamlet in scene one are sick, seeing ghosts and stuff, that's crazy. Shakespeare had a thing for ghosts. I still have nothing to write. I have to but I don't want to. I want to take a nap, and have my personal butler write this for me. I should get one, or two. Maybe I'll have them fight to the death for my amusement. I bet theres some law against that. The man always bringing me down.

Beet Fields and Communists

I’ll be completely honest; I do not want to write this post. There’s nothing worse than realizing you have to write one when you have absolutely nothing to say. I mean nothing, I’m completely blank right now but I guess I can’t put this off. I just need to sit down, compose myself, and slam my fists into the keyboard until I have a post. I probably won’t do that; I’ll rant about how I have nothing to say and keep repeating myself until I have enough words on this page to post. This is going to be a really long, and I mean really long year if I keep having to crank one of these out every week. Wait; scratch that, twice every week. It’s a grade based on my ability to come up with some random idea and turn that idea into about 250 words. I don’t have any ideas I want to share with you people. Go read “Thieves” you communists, and then you’ll see why. Not that I have anything against “Commies,” I’m positive you’re all wonderful people keeping those beet fields alive like a good Soviet. This is not going to be one of the blog posts Burge shows in class, not with that Communist comment I just made. It wasn't me, promise. I wonder if I can end this thing with exactly 250 words. This is going to be interesting. I feel bad for the person reading this; you just wasted a good 30 seconds of your life.

This Post Has no Title



This time I think I'll just cover a current event, there's nothing from class that I want to cover so I'll just talk about how embarrassed the CDC is about heart disease. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S. and it is also easily preventable. Many people die from cardiovascular disease each year, about 800,000 to be exact. 30% of all cardiovascular deaths occur under the age of 75.
“That's 200,000 lives that could be saved every year, said Dr. Thomas Friedan, director of the CDC. Particularly striking is the fact that 56% of those deaths occurred among people under the age of 65.”
The CDC claims these are unnecessary deaths and that the numbers are embarrassing, although they are not surprising.
African Americans are twice as likely to die from heart disease according to a study, and men are two times more likely than women to die from heart disease and stroke.
But, Friedan said, "your longevity may be more likely to be influenced by your zip code, than your genetic code.“ According to the research, the District of Columbia had the highest rates of avoidable deaths - 99 deaths for every 100,000 people. That's more than double the rate in Minnesota, the state with the lowest number of preventable deaths. Friedan also says that Heart Disease can be stopped with the ABC’s, Aspirin, blood pressure control, cholesterol management. The CDC believes it is never too early to start focusing on heart health. More community support for people at risk is said to be needed to drop the numbers of heart disease.
"Bottom line," says Frieden, "this is the No. 1 cause of death, the No. 1 preventable death, and the No. 1 cause of inequalities. And we can make rapid changes to improve."
So that means limit your sodium and don't smoke, and never smoke sodium, or cheeseburgers.

Thieves.

Alright, I had to change my blog title because some other weirdo decided to steal my title. So now I'm going to be posting on the happy fun time area instead. But don't think this is some place full of sunshine and lollipops. This blog is going to be filled with the opposite of that, probably darkness and chewy candy, lets go with that. You have been warned! It's pretty easy to find out who these blogs belong to, and the whole anonymity has gone out the window once one nosey person decides to start shouting it out around their village. I mean, its not bad when someone finds out what your secret identity is, but its bothersome. It's like being a superhero, once one person finds out who you are, you're kinda screwed. So if I was to say anything bad about someone, I'm sure someone would tell everyone. Not that I would talk badly about any of you wonderful creatures reading this.
