SO MUCH GOING ON....
ANOTHER EXAMPLE THE PLANET IS GOIN TO END SOON IF WE DON'T START TAKING UPON OURSELVES TO HELP IT OUT. IF WE DON'T WANT NEW YORK TO OVER FLOOD AND END UP UNDERWATER WE HAVE TO GO GREEN. ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE STRESSING THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TO GO GREEN. YOU SEE IT EVERYWHERE, ON T.V, BILLBOARDS IN THE TRAINSTATION, THEY EVEN CHANGESD THE METRO CARDS TO GREEN TO HELP SUPPORT THE PLANET AND GOING GREEN. IT'S JUST VERY HARD TO CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE. IT IS FOR ME. I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO DR. SMITH AND HIS WIFE, THEY ARE TRYIN THEIR HARDEST TO GREEN AND THEY ARE COMING TO SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

Trying To Save The Planet...
NYPL
The library/museum in bryant park was extremely boring at first but when they showed us to the real artifacts, like the real whinnie the pooh stuff animals, and was told that there is only one copy of every book they have in the library. like Dr. Smith said that boredom does occurr in college students live but act interested and you would become interested. for example, when i said that i was bored at first but then he told me to act like i was intrested and to find out i was learning some quite useful. for instance if i need to do a reseaarch project it's a great idea to go to that library because their is a lot of sources to use in this particular library.

LETS START LIVING GREEN GUYS!!!!!
Ingredients and supplies
- 32 oz. (around 950ml) spray bottle - try to use a bottle made from recycled materials, or is recycleable. Maureen recommends #2 plastic
- water
- White distilled vinegar. It should be vinegar made from grain or plant material. Believe it or not, some is made from petroleum based (crude oil). It gives a whole new meaning to fuel as food.
- Genuine lemongrass essential oil. Lemongrass has anti-bacterial properties. For increased disinfecting power, you can use Tea Tree oil which also ahs anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
- Earth friendly dishwashing liquid. This can be found in just about any supermarket. The dishwashing liquid is necessary to clean mirrors and glass streak-free. Many commercial window/glass cleaners have chemicals of a waxy nature in them; so when you switch to vinegar/water, there will be streaking unless you have the dish detergent in your cleaner.
Method
1. Fill bottle half with water
2. Top it up with white distilled vinegar, but leave a little room for the additional ingredients and for shaking
3. Add 10-14+ drops lemongrass essential oil. Maureen says she uses around 30 drops, but started off with 14 to minimize the chance of skin irritability.
4. Add 2-3 drops of the earth friendly dishwashing liquid.
5. Cap and shake. There should be a thin layer of foamy bubbles at the top - but not too many.
6. Label container clearly. Shake before using and store out of direct sunlight
NOW THIS IS MAUREEN'S R. RECIPE I NEVER TRIED IT, BUT I MOST DEFANTELY WANT TO TRY IT. WELL AT LEAST FOR AROUND THE HOUSE, I WOULD HAVE TO FIND AN OTHER WAY TO WASH MY CLOTHES. LOLZ
I CAN SAY IS THAT IN MY HOUSE WE DO RECYCLE,WE SHUT ALL THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN THEY ARE NOT BEING USED, THAT'S ALL I PCOULD THINK OF AT THE MOMENT SO MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR ME TO START DOING MORE TO HELP OUT MY ENIVROMENT. BUT IF THIS RECIPE OR WHAT I DO IN MY HOUSE ISN'T FOR YOU, YOU CAN ALWAYS TRY TO LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE LIVING GREEN!!!!!

Gnosticism
Gnosticism is a religious movement that combines a whole bunch of religions and basically tells the people that they are "trapped in a material world" ("Gnosticism" wikipedia.org). in order to escape the 'material world" you would have to gain knowledge of God. through what is called gnosis.
Personally i feel that Gnosticism is just like every other religion. every religion has it's own perspective on the world. their are religions that believe that the world is just a temporary place for them to stay until God comes and free them from it. some other religions believe that the world is a living HELL.
the matrix is kind of similar. they believed the real world was hell, and it really wuz. there was 2 worlds, the real world and the virtual world. the vertual world was a cover up for the real world. the agemts want to get out the vertual world and take over the real world. and every one else in the real worls want it to get better and not be a living hell.

Matrix
Hey everyone... my opinion on the Matrix is that it is awesome! This is the first time I understood the movie in the 5 times that I saw it. The matrix is a very confusing movie. What is the matrix? Is the question that Neo strives to learn? The matrix according to the movie is a world made by the machines (agents) to keep the people in the world "cool" it's basically a cover up for what is really happening... it's actually almost the year 2199 and not 1999 and the world is in war with the machines. Neo is believed to be "the one" the one to end the war. The one to defeat the machines and agents. The one to set all the humans free, so they could live again. He is skeptical about it. But more toward the end he believes he is because he died and came back to life. As well as stopped bullets and defeating the agents.
The story line in my opinion is really good. It catches your attention because you want to know more and want to understand more about the movie. But there aren’t too many action scenes in the movie. I really like the part when they are trying to save Morpheus, all the action in that scene is quite exciting and with an adrenalin rush. The movie is confusing therefore I recommend that you see more then once. And actually to analyze it because it is more them just a movie. It’s a brain quiz.
