Questions...Why Do We Ask Them?

Hello Everyone,

For the first week's prompt I chose "10 questions I have". Thinking about it, we all have more than just 10 questions. Each question can have a level of complexity too, is it serious, is it comical, or just a simple we want to know the answer. For example, one question I wrote down was "Am I over thinking". I think we can all agree, that is a difficult question and there are multiple variables to that answer. A lighter question was "What am I going to do for dinner". That can vary on the options, where is there to eat, what am I in the mood for. But besides what the question truly is, why do we ask them?

I think the one main answer to why we ask questions is we want to learn. Being a college student, almost every syllabus day the professor always says if we have a question ask. We are paying enough money for this education so asking questions is almost crucial for us to take advantage of it. Asking questions can then build off what we are learning and take us down a road to new discoveries and open the door for new understandings. But does learning have to have a serious connotation to it or can it just be because I want to know. Questions can make you think more than you ever wanted to on one subject. For example, are the colors I see the same as yours? To explain a bit more, the red I see might look green to you but we both call it red. Now I bet there is some scientific reason why that is not so but it is one of those simple questions that can make you debate and think.

No matter where we go in life, we need to ask questions. I do not believe we would of gotten this far a species without doing so. These questions can be a simple as who is that or as complicated as why does gravity work? I think we owe it to our selves to ask all the questions we can. Take all that knowledge coming in, then build on the answers we learn. Then with our knowledge, answer questions. It is only right if we had our questions answered to then go answer somebody else's questions.

I will leave you with one question to ask yourself...what are you going to do for dinner tonight?

The Story of the Uknown World

Hey Everyone, This weeks journal entry was write a fan letter. So I wrote a fan letter to Bill Gates. I would just like to ask him how he got his big idea and what that felt like. But I would like to talk about my creative narrative in this blog. My narrative was telling a story about Commander Farsight and his adventure in a new world he found himself in. Now the interesting part is that I completed the narrative on Twitter with the help of my followers. I did the story on my second Twitter which I hope to expand my followers and eventually turn into a tech news and gaming news source, but I digress. I would like to tell you some of my experiences of this narrative and my overall thoughts about it. I had fun this this project, it was nice to tell a story that I didn't have any real limits. I was able to take it anywhere I would like but I had help. My Twitter followers were able to participate within this narrative by being able to vote where the story went next. Based on th...

Telling a Lie

Hello Everyone, This week, my journal prompt is " Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Write a story to back it up". And well I thought about what I could lie about myself and whether I should go extreme or keep it simple. I decided extreme because as the saying goes, you can't make this up. Here is my story... I moved to Pittsburgh when I was five years old. My family we came from a small town in England called Gateshead. We lived near our family church, The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas. But we had to move to the states because of my mom needed to help her family. When we first came to the states, my accent cause the kids at my new school to make fun of me that I eventually changed schools and forgot my English accent. At my new school, I did my best to learn an American accent and before I knew it, my English accent was a thing of the past. I feel guilty of hiding my true identity but I've kept it a secret for so long that my American...

Being Boring

Hello Everyone, This week the journal entry I chose was "Describe what I do in six words". This prompt took me a bit to think about because it made me think well what do I really do on a day to day basis. As a college student I do my studying but then what else? I play video games, watch movies, hang out with friends, etc, but when I reflect on it, I came up with what I do in six words... I am a boring college student. I think there is something to say about being boring. I enjoy the simple things in life, I just like to sit back and watch what is happening, that is not to say that I won't chase what I want but I'm not one to go and have a wild time out. I like sitting in my room with my friends and just talking and bs'ing the night away. I'll go out and have fun with them, but we don't go looking for fun, we just go have it. I think boring can be a good thing to be, I get my work done, I can manage my time affectively, and I can still have a great life....
