Thanksgiving Day

   It was a very loooong time ago, when Pilgrim Fathers suffered from their very first and very cruel winter on the newly discovered continent.
   Had it not been for the original inhabitants´ help, who adviced them how to survive, all of these newcomers would have died for sure. Pilgrim Fathers deciced to organize an event based on a huge amount of food and togetherness as a thank you for saving their lifes and so the new holiday was founded.The reason they organized it was en effort to show their gratefulness.

   Since that moment to celebrate Thanksgiving Day has became a regular event. There is almost no family not celebrating this day. Every year, on the second Monday in October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday in November in the USA people spent time together. All they want is have a good time with their families. They eat the most common and traditional food - a turkey.

   Logically, this event should not be celebrated in the rest of the world, because it´s the national holiday connected with the American history, but due to globalization and commercial affairs it is now celebreted probably by some families in every single country around the world and nobody cares that there were no Pilgrim Fathers in the south Asia. 

   America´s rules simply influence the rest of the world so much.

   I think, that American holidays should stay in America. There is so many events deserving being celebrated in every single country, so why should we follow the crowd simply because this or that is American and thus certainly cool? 

I must, I must not.

This article is gonna be somehow different. I´ve decided to make a list of what I MUST and what I MUST NOT do.

1, I must learn to pretend that I really regred canceled lecture instead of behaving like this:

2, I must improve my dance style, especially the gangam one.

3, I must start driving a car again. To be honest, winter is about to come and using a flying dog is not safe anymore.

4, I also must learn to ride a bike. Of course, in fact, I am able to ride a bike, but few weeks ago I had an accident and from that moment me and my bike have not been so good friends.

 

5, I'm sure it would be suitable if I was able to control my emotions and admit that I'm not always right. I must work on it!

6, My social me must improve its way of showing an empathy when someone's feelings are hurt by a breakup.

7, I absolutelly must learn that thinking about acting before acting itself is very, very and once more very important!

.

8, My extremelly and deeply hiden mannequin me must improve its walking.

9, I must change the way I study. I should not start with it at 10 o'clock in the evening. Believe me, it's never a good idea.

10, I must try to eat boiled vegetable without this grimace being made by my face.

11, Last but not least. I must understand that retieers simply walk slowly. Especially in shops and at any time  I'm in a hurry and there is no possibility to overtake them.

Bonus.

I must know the way he does it. I also wanna be able to become invisible!

catch me if you can!

   I really wasn´t interested in these kinds of movies till now. And I know, that refusing to watch " Catch me if you can " was a huge mistake. This movie was amazing and full of tension.

   Why did I somehow get to like Frank? Simply, I appriciate his creativity. All story was very interesting and I cannot imagine myself doing the same thigs as Frank did at the age of 19.
I´ve heard about him many times and found imposible to understand why FBI decided to hire someone, who they were looking for so long time. I am no more surprised now after seeing the movie.

   To be honest, this idea should be for sure contiued. I´ve seen a lot of news reports about people, who got into someone other´s softwares, even though there were many safety measures, with exactly not good intentions and I have always thougt about the idea of employing these people to FBI or White House etc. as for example safety experts.

   The second thing that gained my interest was the one about friendship between Frank and FBI agent Carl. This kind of friendship seemed to be pushed aside, what looks like an obvious fact, but on the other hand it is something, that is maybe one of the most important aspect of the whole movie. If there hadn´t been for Carl´s and Frank´s friendship, Frank would have never lived the rest of his life the way he had.

   To sum it up, I am greatful for getting this homework, because if not, I would probably never see this touching story.

♪♫ me and music ♫♪

To be honest, I am not an appropriate example of a music fan. I have never been crazy about any concrete music style. My choice of songs depends on current situation - when I am sad or depresed, I need to listen to some slow and somehow sad songs that can help me to reduce my negative feelings, because while listening to a sad song, I´m using my imagination, that takes me to the better place, where there is no stress, sadness, depression or anything else which is is everything but not positive.

It´s obvious, that I don´t prefer one exact music style. I cannot say, that I am rock, pop, heavy metal or classical music fan. I just listen to the song that gains my attention and I really don´t care whether it´s a hip hop or pop music from the 80´s. Hip hop is the best choice while me and my basketball team are warming up before match. I cannot imagine to warm up while listening to some slow songs. It would, in fact, makes me feel tired instead of being hunger for victory. On the other hand, I would never download a hip hop song to my MP3 player. This is an example of what I´ve mentioned before - choice of the song depends on my mood and the backround.

And when do I listen to the songs the most often? I listen to the music the most when I´m on my way to school sitting in the bus or train.

CHANGE..!

Change. This word may be understood in many different ways. Someone can connect it with new hairstyle, clothes etc., another one can speak about change in the government.

But I would like to write about change in general. Change is necessary in case you don´t wanna stay in one place without moving anywhere. And I´m sure that none of us wants to stay in one place for the rest of their life.

No change can in many cases mean no chance. Why?

For example someone, who is ashamed of speaking in public and it´s their biggest nightmare will never get an opportunity to became a professional public speaker if they don´t decide for a change. These people have to change their priorities. They have to ask themself: " Do I wanna be a professional speaker or is being an ashamed person who never achieves his or her goal more important for me?  " This is an appropriate question. And than, he or she can acts due their new priorities and goals to achieve what they want. In my opinion, this is a positive change just as when someone decides to change his life style - stop smoking, start excercise or begin to eat healthy.

But on the other hand, not every change leads to happy end. Quiting school just because I am too lazy to study hard or cheating on girfriend or boyfriend. These are obviously not good examples of good change, but still, although it´s not positive, it makes you move. The question is whether it makes you move forward or backward.

That´s it.
