a whole week has passed since my last post. a lot has happened
i'm FINISHED with my AP TESTINGS this year.
okay, finished not meaning i passed everything (although i sure hope i did), but finished as in, shiet, i sat through 3 days of super brain work, and it feels amazing to not have to worry about those things anymore. It's that same feeling of when you have a super super hard puzzle on parking lot (of my old iphone, as tiffany ha remembers), and then you solve it.
Obviously, there are more challenges to come, yet, it feels great to pass this one landmark.
get what i'm sayin`?
haha
anyways, after ap's was prom. prom was fun. except for the fact that there weresome really embarrassing moments.. as in..
karaoke. elias and i decided to sing ignition by r.kelly.
but they didn't have the remix ( WTF. THE REMIX IS MORE POPULAR THAN THE REGULAR VERSION. HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE IT? THEY HAVE the RICK ROLL'd SONg, BUT NOT IGNITION?) basically, we ended up rapping.
like a bunch of asian geeks with no sense of rhythm or pitch. woohoo!
OH, then there's the REALLY REALLY embarrassing part
after they announced my name for prom court.
i decided to be individualistic, and walk OFF the stage to the dance floor...
Mr. Silva: " Tiffany, we're up here please."
I have never seen so many people point to the back of me... ever.
oh. and did mention i was the only one who forgot my sash on the limo?
damn, i am one heck of a smart ass chicky.
ANYWAYS. about my title.
We started the book Brave New World in English. Gotta say, dig the controversies mentioned, and dig the stretching of ethical values.
In a sense, it kind of reminds me of Frankenstein, since they both touch on the topic of artificial creation of the human kind. It's crazy how two authors from two different eras can focus on the same topic. I think that means the topic spoken of, must be some pretty darn important and fearsome reality.
I gotta say, Frankenstein got me really revved up about the whole idea of human cloning. I believe Mary Shelley tried to convey in her book, that we, as humans, do not have the right to create artificial life. Why, think about it. If clones were to exist... what would individuals be? Would individuals be eliminated? I would guess so. Then.. would we not just be nothing but robots, copying each other? Each strand of DNA is composed of a different sequence, so varying that each human being is unique. Why would we want to eliminate that? I obviously do not understand any of the pros of cloning... other than, i guess... using them for more efficiency and using them for.. their organs? their.. blood. using them for.. our own benefit.
which.. even sparks my debate further. How can we, as supposedly, beings with true emotion, create bodies with the same brain, same heart, same ...soul.. and use them for our own selfish desires... We're not monsters. Shiet, we're HUMAN, and what makes us human is our every little single flaw, every talent, every thing that makes us who we are. i mean.. honestly, even TWINS are different, in every possible way. Can we use knowledge to do God's work? I, for one, am not cool with the idea of cloning. How about you guys? give me some opinions?
Ah, and then there are the sexbots of japan. created to " help those that are not as sexually attractive as some others." Basically they're 1-partner prostitutes with a 1-time pay. Made to simulate human orgasms, along with the human touch, and human form... strange. Where's the love there? If there is one thing that humans can not live without... well, i would say it's a toss-up between LOVE and air. I mean, these robots create.. MALLEABLE LUST. If these were to be released, why would men need women? ( or you know. men need.. men. women need women.. i want to incorporate the gay community) yeah. give me your thoughts on that too..
coolio,
that's it for now.
"L'amour ressemble à l'air, il nous maintient en vie."
