Where Did We All Start?

People have been wondering this question for thousands of years. Some people say we just popped out of nowhere all over the world. Others say that humans started from Africa. Some people say there is three different types of humans, each starting in a different area of the world. What do I have to say about all of this? Well read my theory on all of this that is a lot of people’s theories combined mostly.

I support the theory that all humans do come from Asia. But I belive they come from part of it that had plenty of vegitation, it was hot all year long, and was great for living it. Which could only point towards southern Africa near the source of the Nile River. It didn’t require much thinking for the humans who lived there. They didn’t have to kill each other for food, which is why they survived. Why would they travel to other parts of the world then if their area was so great? It was simply rejects who had to leave and explore the rest of the world. Thanks to this though is probably how humans developed their brains is because they had to think of how to get food in the middle of the desert, or survive in freezing cold conditions. This is how we developed Agriculture, which gave people time to think instead of killing ecother for food. This then lead to knowledge which lead to civilizations.

Now some people believe that why people look so different is because there is three different types of them. I believe more along the lines of the eveloution theory. I think the enviorment decides how each human is shaped. In Africa a lot of the people have dark skin and that’s because Africa is by the equator which has lots of sun. Therefore people there pretty much got a permanent tan. I believe that the farther from the wquator the rejects got the got lighter colored skin over time. For example right above Africa in countries like Spain people have dark skin, that is still light though. Then above that in the U.K. People have very light skin. The thing that messed up this theory is when the vikings sailed around and raided many countries. A few of the Vikings stayed and had kids with people from that country. Vikings all started out with blond hair and blue eyes and those charestics got mixed with other peoples charestics. So then for example instead of people from Spain with dark skin and hair you would start to see people from Spain with dark skin and blonde hair.

     So how is there proof to all of this? Well for one thing a few years ago someone discovered the bones of a human from thousands of years ago in Africa. They took it’s DNA and traced it to over half the humans in the world. This means that another one of the humans there could trace back to the other half of humans alive today. Proof that we can tell if people of different countries got married and mixed their charestics has already happened when Adolf Hitler tried to kill all the non blonde hair blue eyes people in the world and easily took their records and looked back in their history from hundreds of years ago.

    I think my theory is very good and if you have any idea on it comment them below. Who knows? I might take your comment and add it to my theory!

One Million Words Under Construction

1million

     There’s at least a million words in this world. Each one of them special. Everyone remembers my old post “A Sprinkle Of Words” and this is a follow up. Everyone in life has a lot of favorite words, some not even real. For example, my friend named Haley’s favorite word is “Pshaw!” Which I think is hilarious. Every may not have a strong vocabulary, and so what if you don’t know a lot of words. If you use them right, and make it sound like you know what your saying people will think your really smart.

In other news…

     The blog in under construction. The whole blog is going through a re-construction. The monthly CSS episodes are really catching up with me. I just don’t have time every weekend to design a new CSS to design, test, write code for, and all my other stuff. Sure if coding was my job I could do it, but it’s not and I’m not getting any money out of it, so why sacrifice my life to do it? I will still keep episodes going, they just won’t be monthly, more likely bi-monthly. I have the blog under construction now so I can construct a new inspiring CSS that can last a while because my life is jam packed latelly.

It’s a brand new website where you can do simple things such as play games, invite friends, and answer questions to get points to buy prizes. Some of these prizes include scooters, clothes, awsome backgrounds, and more. The coolest thing about this website is that you can only get in if a friend invites you in. Therefore it’s kinda top secret. This place has other amazing prizes too. Such as a private concert by your favorite band. There is also a thing called the “Z-list” open to only a select few members. They get specail access to specail videos, events, and double the point. If you want to get into this top secret website then you’ll have to get to it by me.

SoAmazing Banners

     SoAmazing, the newest website I’ve been designing in my spare time. With the help of my web design class I’m learning how to create a website from scratch. SoAmazing possibly might even replace this blog. I got the inspiration to make a new website from Keith. He offered the idea that I should get a wordpress.org blog. I took that and got an even better idea. To create a whole website. This website will be my own portfolio in a sense. It won’t be a blog or a website that is about a certain thing, but a place that I can show off graphics I made, have a page for downloadable templates, and other stuff. It could be months until this is released, but when it is I’ll post the link.

In other news…

     I got a comment from abcd77 asking why I didn’t have any banners. I simply don’t know what my answer to that would be. I simply haven’t taken the time. I might create one in the future, but currently I don’t have any. Excpect some at the end of this month.

An Idea…

 

     I’m probably starting to sound like a philosopher with all my idea, but I need a place to say them, where people might actually listen to them. On my last post I got a comment from abcd77 talking about a page in the bible that states about how the world will end. Here is his comment (Click on it for full size)

Picture 1

      I belive his comment is very reasonable, and maby we could learn from it. In response a few hours later a good friend of mine named Zipo left a comment. (Click For Full Size.)

Picture 1     At the end he commented on how we should leave the part with the bible to scholars. This post is not about what the page in the bible, but more about the part where he said we should leave it to the scholars. Now I don’t want this to turn into an argument, I’m just stating my ideas. Once I heard a story from my old Science teacher. She was one of the best teachers in the world. The story went like this, one day a truck was briskly driving down the road to a place it needed to go. It was slipping under the bridge when it got stuck. It couldn’t get out. Many mathimiticans, scholars, and engineers worked on the problem to try and get the truck out without touching the bridge. None of them ever found the answer until one day a five year old gave them the answer. He simply they suggested that they let some air out of the tires to make it shorter so it wasn’t stuck. The plan worked and he was rewarded for such a great idea.

     My point is that maby that’s the problem with the world, is possibly we don’t look at thing simply enough. Sure all those scholars and engineers and stuff are smart, and that can get you a long ways in certain things, but not every time. For example I’m a seventh grader who is in a ninth grade math class. I was trying to solve a problem, that just stumped me. My dad and mom both took a shot at it and couldn’t figure it out. That’s when my seven year old brother gave us the answer. There were three problems in an equation to figure out the perimiter of a triangle. My brother showed us that the first two problems gave us the plugins for the third problem, therefore giving us the answer. My dad were trying to solve these crazy equations in the most complicated ways, and didn’t see that. My point is maby we are looking at the world in a too complicated way and need to see the simple things. Sure maby it’s complicated to make something as crazy as the iPhone. Still I bet if you ask anyone they will tell you a story similar to mine where the answer to their problem is very simple.

Nature’s Correction

naturec

     Today in Social Studies I was sitting in my desk writing notes, talking to friends, goofing off, pretty much the usual. I’m good in school, but Social Studies is kind of like a comedy show. This time though something in the notes caught everyone’s attention. We were talking about World Population and how humans almost went extinct at one time. The humans were stuck around 1/3 of a billion people. That’s when medicine was created and the population blew up. We had a list we had to write down…

  • 1950-2000
  •     6.8 Billion
  • 2000-2050
  •     12 Billion???
  •     Or Nature’s Correction???

     At the end we saw our teacher’s estimate of how many people he thought would be around then. Below that though were the words “Or Nature’s Correction???” We all wondered what that meant and it went into a big conversation. Our teacher used an example of how there is too many cats in one place, it always seems that a lot of them get sick and die, therefore they are left with the normal amount of cats. Or another example might be when a lot of deer are around, a hard winter always seems to come and kill half of them off. If you want a real world example, a lot of you have probably heard of europe. It used to be one of the most heavily populated places in the world. That’s when the plauge came around. It was carried by rats all over europe and 2/3 of the people of europe died. He explained that for years scientists have thought that would happen again. A few years ago they thought it would be the bird disease, but it wasn’t, a lot think that the H1N1 virus now might be nature’s correction, but we can’t tell if it is or not yet. People haven’t even thought that it may not happen. Some people’s last theory is the 2012 destruction. A lot of people have heard that the world will end in 2012. Not many of you know the story about it, so I’ll explain it first. The Minoans were a native tribe of North America. They were excellent at making maps, but their empire was conquered many years ago by Spain, and their old empire is now Mexico. Just a few years ago some one found an old calendar of theirs saying the world would end in 2012. Now that you’ve heard the story you need to know why I think this won’t happen. Their 2012 may have been a different time. It could have been 3 years ago, it could be today. The thing is we don’t know. For example in China their calendar is ahead of everyone by far. Simply because their civilization started about 2,000 years before America was even found. So there’s no reason to be afraid. 

     This whole thing did still scare us though, because what about the H1N1 Virus? It hasn’t ended yet so who knows, it could be it. Thing that I noticed, and a lot of people have, is only young kids, elderly people, and people with poor health are the only ones effected badly by the flu. My mom for instance has talked to some very professional doctors about this flu and they said it’s not as bad as even the seasonal flu. I had friends that were out of school for 3-4 weeks because of a seasonal flu, and people only out for 3-4 days because of the flu. So what might be this nature’s correction? I don’t know. Then again it just might not happen.

Why You Want The Job: I’d like it because…

Email: example@someplace.com

     Remember you may not get the job, but you at least have a shot. If you go through the comment and see that someone else has already entered for that job you can still enter, it just means you have competition to see who wins the job. These jobs all take great responsibility and can only be trusted in the right hands. If there is a hard decision to see who gets the job you might get a call back. That would be where I email you and schedule a interview on a classified chat room. The best interview gets the job. It’s a simple as that. Also if you don’t get the job, don’t get depressed, there will be more opening in the future. When people do a good job they get promoted, to a bigger and better job, therefore we need to replace their old spot.

     For those of you who do get jobs you will all be called to a meeting two days after the winners of the jobs are announced. The meeting will be held in a classified chat room. There you can get any questions you have answered. In the future if you do good at your job you might get promoted to a better job, or a new that just got invinted. We will always be creating new jobs for different things, therefore a new job will always be possible to get. If you have any questions on how this works please comment and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

     Now for those of you who who might get high up jobs you are not the ones controlling the whole article. There is three people who will be above you who will control you. One being myself, and two being classified so you can’t bribe them for promotions or other things. You will also have a team of spies working right beside you lower workers. They will protect anyone from pretending to be other people and trying to destroy the article, and also will make sure you are getting your work done. They will disquise themselves as your fellow co workers. But you’ll never notice it.

So now that I’m done talking comment away!
