Cold Weather

I dislike the cold weather very much. it is no fun and i just dont like it. I like the fall much better. Its warm and nice outside most of the time so you can enjoy a day outside. But my favorite time of the year would have to be summer. Its way better than winter.

My Weekend

This weekend i lifted every day. I also wrestled a little bit. I hung out with my girlfriend and then i watched UFC 91. Brock Lesnar beat Randy coutour in round 2 by TKO. Sunday i watched a soccer game that wasnt close at all. Then i went home and slept all night.

This weekend.

I dont know what im going to do this weekend. I have no plans yet. I know i will work out today after school and saturday and sunday morning. Maybe go find a party afterwards. Who knows. Hopefully i find something exciting to do though, wouldnt mind a good time!

Technology

I think Technology has helped my life in many ways. without it i think life would be difficult. Especially without a cellular device. I am always using my phone and without it i would be lost. Technology gets better everyday and without it many americans would have a more difficult time dealing with there problems.

Favorite Object

My celluar mechanism would probably be the greatest object i own. Without it i would be lost. They are great fun and always come in handy alot. If theres an emergency i would be alright because i have my cellular device!!!

MMA

MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world. It's slowly becoming the most popular sport and i think it will eventually surpass sports such as baseball, football and basketball. Anyone who has ever seen a UFC or WEC fight knows how addicting it is. Seeing bigshots get knocked out by underdogs, lots of blood, broken arms, crowds going wild. Its an adrenaline rush just watching it. It is way more interesting then watching a guy throw a baseball and watching another guy try to hit it. The best part in a baseball game is when theres a fight and the dugouts clear. Thats why you see that clip on ESPN or sportscenter because producers know it will draw attention. You see that constantly in a UFC fight. So i predict that in about 10 years MMA will be above everything else by a long shot.

History Of Halloween

Now today's Halloween isn't the same as it was 2000 years ago. The history and origin of Halloween lie way back in centuries in the ancient Celtic New Year's festival, Samhain. So much so that the customs of today’s Halloween are also rooted in the ancient customs of the Celts during Samhain, which was said to mark the end of Summer. Samhain, the Celtic New Year was celebrated every year on October 31—the day, which the Celts believed, was a day of the rise of the dead, when the deceased would wander the land to possess earthly souls. To keep these spirits at bay, the Celts dressed up as ghouls and monsters and put out all lights in their homes. With that, they ventured out as mischievous and wayward undoers willfully wantoning peace and property. The Celtic priests or Druids also built bonfires on this day and offered sacrifices. The idea behind all these was, of course, to scare away the spirits of the dead and avoid being “possessed” ! Now if you're brainy enough, it won't be hard for you to guess that the modern tradition of wearing costumes on Halloween traces back to this ancient Celtic practice !
Step3 haunted halloween The sinister attitudes of the Celts on Samhain toned down over the ages to give way to the less menacing attributes of today’s Halloween. The playfulness and fun side of Halloween was first brought to America by the Irish immigrants around 1840. Like for instance, the popular tradition of trick-or-treating on Halloween came from the Irish. This had been 'gifted' to the United States by the Irish immigrants who fled their country during the potato famine. The Irish celebration of Halloween or the Hallow E'en (evening of the Hallow), as it's called in Ireland, means All Hallows Eve, or the night before the 'All Hallows'. All Hallows Day is on November 1, and is also known as All Saint’s Day (a day to honor all the Catholic saints). ‘Hallow’ is an Old English word, meaning ‘saint’. November 2 is the All Soul’s Day—a day which honors all Christians who no longer live and were not saints. And the period of October 31 to November 2 is known as the Hallow Tide. Now, on All Hallows Eve or Halloween, the Irish beggars went asking for food or money from the rich. If refused, they were threatened to be destroyed by the evil spirits. And, of course, nobody wants to take a chance on Halloween. So soul-cakes or currant buns and candy bags chockablock with goodies were kept ready for the Halloween Day.
