Staff infections catch NFL's attenntion

The article that I read for this week was about how the NFL is taking a serious look at their teams and how safe they are for their players. Last week the Cleveland Browns player, Kellen windslow jr. came down with staff infection. The likely cause of the infection was from the team, since there were several others that came down with it in a time span of a couple years. Also Peyton and Ely Manning have also came down with this serious infection before. This staff infection has been a on going problem for the pass couple of years. The NFL is taking a look at these cases because a staff infection is serious and if not caught in time could be deadly. I think that NFL should have already been paying close attention to the cleanliness of their teams and maybe  a closer eye on who is abiding by the regulations, so they could have avoided all of this sickness, and possibly a law suit. I also think the NFL has taken a sloppy job to taking care of this problem.

photography

I was wondering through time magazine and saw a picture of this little girl staring into the camera sitting in a empty room on a couch... thats it. It was calm and collected yet spooky and odd. It drew me in and I started to read.

This article was about a normal photographer, loretta lux. she captivates people with her work. she photographs children because "they have no reservations, they are the most honest models." she says. Lux pays attention to form, shape and color. What I like the most about Loretta Lux and her work is that it is a mystery, the viewer is the one to decide what it is supposed to represent, or mean. I like that because every individual is different and interprets everything differently and its good to see what others see in something, it can introduce you into a new way of looking at things.

what is home? the journey home.

          I was thinking about going home from school today and then I had a question, what is home? Is it a place where ones family is? where one has  a nice bed and food in the frig? or is it where did one come from, India, england, japan? so I decided to look up an artical on home. 

This Artical sat down with asian journalist and asked them where is there home? Some answerd. where they live now, others answered there native land and the question was easy. But what about the rest the journalist? Some had a  hard time, some did'nt know whether to say there native land because they dont speak a word of the language or any of the cultural traditions or whether to say where they live and spend there life now. This question may seem easy. I agree with ithis story because it is saying that many people are going to be thinking more and more of home and where that is, and this could have alot to do with fining oneself. I know alot of people are trying to do that.

#2 Is Odysseus a modern day Hero?

If Odysseus was in modern times I think he would be considered a hero in some ways, because he has a loving devoting wife at home that is very loyal but at the same time he is off having an affair with Circe on an Island. In todays Society that is frowned upon because its immoral. An addition to that Odysseus is very fickle and at one moment he is crying for his friends that have passed but in the next moment he is having sex with another women and again in todays society the people want some one that can make up there mind and stick to a idea or emotion.
If odysseus was in modern times some people would think that he would be a fit hero for the people because he is able to think on his toes and devise a plan to get him and his crew out of danger for example when they are stuck in the cave with the cyclops. Another time that people would call heroic is when he goes back for his two men that are on the island with the lotus eaters, he saved them, because one doesnt know what the lotus eaters would have done to them. so in some ways the people would think that he is a hero but in some ways people would think that he is not a hero. It really depends on how one looks at it.

Ordinary people by john legend lyrics

I picked this song because everyone has these feeling and emotions, anybody can relate to this song.

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday[Bridge]

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
We head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

[Bridge]
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel just like walking away
But as our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

Chorus
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]
Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,maybe you'll return
Maybe you'll never find
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
You never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

I like this song because when people think this way they should take it slow and analyze things and figure out whats the best thing for them. I feel like alot of people do not do that, they just want to get things done and over with.
