Culinary Traditions of Unicron

The unicorns have different subdivisions for the most skilled in a trade. For example, the unicorn council puts those with special abilities away from society to devote their lives in learning these trades. Sort of like how we have monks in our lands, except we do not force our people to go. Now, the name of unicorns, effectively; for lack of a betterment word, who are specialized in culinary creations go by the exquisite name: Unicrons. Yes, this is no misspelling of their origin word. Whether it seems likely or not that this is there name, there cannot be any change to this. I mean, we are outsiders with minimal rule ovr the laws they govern by. Keep in mind, our end goal is assimilation not dictation. Okay, so we must now take a step back into further learning construction session in order to understand the life of a unicron, as this is the most common and likely of all the rare trades and specialities that we will be "banished" into. See, if one of us is lucky enough to get banished it will be free assimilation. Often, the instructors feel grudge against the governing council and pay their rules no mind. Frankly, this does not make life in their temples any easier. We will continue this learning innovative lesson in the weeks to come, for this...oh this, is extremely important.

CoronaVirus

Recently, there has been a breakthrough about Covid-19. What is Covid-19 you ask, well researchers know that Covid-19 is a branch of the CoronaVirus. If you want more info, look at actual news reports. Space to write is limited folks, so one last thing before I get fired, wash your hands and stay inside!

Food Shortages

We all knew this day would come, with a deadly virus killing people, and food in short supply. But, it has come quicker than we ever could have imagined. Lines out the door of super markets, snaking out to the back. Six feet away. But really? Is that even possible? How do you high-5 someone when your standing 6 feet away? Mrs. Book lady says, "You can't!" Life as we know it is changing.

Inside or Out?

The government is putting some states into quarantine! But, people more than ever are going outsides, for walks, for bike rides. Doesn't a quarantine mean that you should stay inside? Then why are people going outside more and more? This is our choice! Do what is right for you and the people you knows safety!

The Culinary Aspect

Unicorns, surprising as it may sound, have very refined skills in the culinary arts as we know it. They have located in an epicenter of food and art. This is mainly due to their congested population, which boads well for street vendors. That is where we come in, because it is our job to be the street vendors. This is the only way for the majority of us, myself included, to successfully assimilate with minimal skill. They are used to high-quality restauraunts, but with enough practice it is reasonable to assume we can master basic cooking and set up a street food vending cart.. This is just a small part of the culinary arts mastery that surrunds the ancient unicorn society..

Wei Yummy

Wei Yummy, I say!
Why Yummy, you ask!

Recently, my mother has bought some chocolates from a company called wei chocolates. The chocolate from there is sooooo good! My Mom bought the chocolate to meditate with. You can do chocolate meditation with almost any chocolate. If wei isn't in your budget, you can get dove chocolate, that works just as good, and is a whole lot cheaper. But, if wei is in your budget, you are in for a real treat. Wei chocolate has a ton of different flavors! Some are relaxing, like "Rich, Lucious" while others are sweet like "Peppermint" or "Cocoa Buttery." If you are willing to try "Naturally Deep" with shitake mushroom, your taste buds will explode from satisfaction.

If you actually want to do chocolate meditation, read on! 1.) Unwrap the chocolate and take a small piece out. If you are using wei, then just take it all out. But, if you are using a bar, one square should do. 2.) Stick the piece of chocolate on your tongue. If you are doing it with a friend or family member don't talk. Reminder: do it in a quiet area, and turn off the lights, Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and will try this at home!

Perspective: In Times Like This..

This is what happened

that summer afternoon,

you called a handball.

I stood their puzzled

when would I learn?

O they had done it again,

in considerable fashion.

I got hit 
O that darn little ball.

As it made contact with my silly unkept skin,
I felt the melancholic slam of the sound vibrations when it hit my hand.

Though you cried handball,
I cried
and never would this be forgotten
on the sparrow's rave.

"Mytersy" by Jessenvar

I am the sunflower on the shining step
I am a wind on the winter breeze
I am the cat lurking in the dark
I am the cattle prod waiting for some food
I am the King waiting to be taken.

For what I am,
I cannot tell.

Oh no! You must tell me,
who are you.

-Jessenvar (poet and bard)

Handball

Handball

This is what happened

when you called a handball

I got hit
I felt sad
You cried handball
Handball
My hand isn't a ball, what do you mean
The ball isn't a hand, what do you mean
What do you mean, a hand in a ball
What do you mean, a ball in a hand
What do you mean
Handball

Entry #1

Monday was the first day of being quarantined not going out, and not being able to stay out past 8. I wonder what will happen to us. It has been so long, since I have talked to another human being outside of my family. It must have been 5 days since I have seen someone outside of my family. 5 Days! My family is going quite mad. We are not used to be in close quarters with each other except for more 48 hours. I writing this, not as a blog post that my mom has forced me to write, but as a note to the future, as a first hand account, for when everyone dies from the coronavirus. 

At least none of our neighbors have run out of food yet. I am certain that that would mean that they would attack us and steal all of our food. That reminds me, I should probably go for a walk today, so I might be able to run away from our neighbors when they try to attack for our food. That reminds me, I have some advice for you: go for the weak ones  avoid people who have been out of the country, or look sick. If you read this article and don't wash your hands, you will cause infection upon others.

Someone who has washed their hands

Recession

Throughout the country, people have been stocking up on food, sanitation products, and protective gear - large-chain suppliers have been rapidly running out. These frantic buying practices have greater implications, however, beyond a shortage of paper towels: they are leading the U.S., and potentially the world, into the next recession. On a very concrete level, the buying purchases of most countries in the world have drastically shifted - protective gear is in massive demand, and our use of transportation and entertainment is shrinking rapidly.

Goldman Sachs, for one, predicts economic downturn until April, but that's only if our current self-quarantine is sustained for the next few weeks. With President Trump predicting that it'll take until summer for the pandemic to "wash over" the country, the economic future is unknown.

Subversive Distance Learning

The world has lost its collective mind.

Meanwhile, after official school lessons are complete, we are watching TED Talks on YouTube. I got the idea after reading Chris Anderson's Ted Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading (listening via audiobook) and highly recommend.

On Monday, March 16, 2020 (Day 1), we watched Sir Ken Robinson's "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" I enjoyed the talk, but the kids thought it was so-so.

On Tuesday, March 17, 2020 (Day 2), we watched David Christian's "The History of our World in 18 minutes." Again, I enjoyed it, but the kids thought it was so-so.

But, right next to this video was bill wurtz's video "history of the entire world, i guess" that they loved. I thought it was funny, but it has a fair amount of profanity. You've been warned.

Unicorn Society

Unicorns are not one single unit of a mind. They are as different and unique as anything in general life. Although every unicorn can be found in a society, since they only live in one huge NYC esk city. Now, this may seem surprisingly but this city is protected by a safety barrier which blocks all foreign travelers from entering without permission from the official Unicorn governence committee. They rule by a merit system. Meritocracy is the value of workers through their skills and not their birth. Not to mention, they are also a democracy. In essence, they are almost exact carbon copy of our existing New York City. Besides this vague overview of their society they also have unique customs and cultures it is essential we know if we want to assimilate successfully. By far, the most subtle custom we all MUST take into account is: unicorns are very sensitive about their unihorn. May I be extremely clear and specific, if you look at it wrong THEY WILL HAVE YOUR HORN. As you can tell, they have not had any visitors for the course of their existence, thus they are a very aggressive tribe at times. I can only imagine what they would severe if their be not a horn. This be even more important if we want to successfully infiltrate them. More essential guides pertaining to unicorns will be published in the upcoming weeks.

The Benefits (and non-benefits) of being the Youngest

You probably think it is a stereotype that the youngest gets the most attention. Well, you are correct, the youngest does.

The youngest pretty much gets all of the attention for a while. When the youngest is born, the parents are gushing over the newborn baby, because the newborn baby is the cutest! But, it isn't just attention that the youngest gets. I find this pretty unfair, but it is true. The youngest hardly ever gets blamed. It's true, the parents always say that the older siblings should have known better.

However, being the youngest isn't always good. One reason is, older siblings think that they can just pick on you, because you are smaller and weaker. People are always bragging about your older siblings. It might make you worry that you won't be able to achieve what they have achieved. People will always be comparing you to your siblings and confusing your siblings for you. My mom sometimes calls me by my brother's name or my sister's name. You have to admit, that is pretty insulting. When you finally grow up a little, with a personality and an opinion, your siblings won't like that. They will go their separate ways, when they grow up.  Also, having no one to play with is a big downer. Your siblings have already grown up. They don't want to play with you.

That is why being the youngest is awesome, and sometimes not so awesome.

Martin Heidegger

Today in German class I finished my work on a project about the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Here is an English summary of my findings:

1. Martin Heidegger was born in southern Germany, in a province called Baden-Wurttemburg, in 1889. 
2. As a student, he held a great proficiency for philosophy, as well as mathematics and environmental science, and originally wanted to work with the Catholic church. 
3. After his service in the army in the First World War, he returned to, university where he received his doctorate in philosophy, and published his first and most famous book, Sein und Zeit (Being and Time).
4. His thesis: the individual was inextricably related to time, and their environment. He pioneered the concept of Da-sein (being-there) and Geworfenheit (being-thrown-into-the-world). This was a vast departure from philosophy of the past, which dealt with the individual as an entity entirely separate from outside influence; Sein und Zeit was a total rejection of that idea. For this reason, Heidegger is considered the most important European philosopher of the 20th century.
5. In 1931, he met Hitler, and expressed political interest in Nazism. In 1933, he received rectorship at the University of Freiberg. After a year, feeling morally uncomfortable with the position, he resigned to be a professor, but nonetheless maintained Nazi ties.
6. After the Second World War, during the Nuremberg Trials, he was given a Lehrverbot (ban-on-teaching), which prevented him from resuming his position at the University of Freiberg.
7. In 1951, he was granted emiritus status, and taught regularly until 1968, when he retired.

How To Be A Unicorn

When analyzing such a trivial and controversial topic, we first must study unicorns as a society and not a species. In order to become one of them we must learn their ethics, customs, cultures, terrain, and many more aspects of what makes them so unique. Assimilation into their society is key for the future of humanity. Without proper migration skills, knowledge of the new civilization, and many more important techniques will have to be learned an utilized we will not be successful in this infiltration. This is just an overview of all things to study.

More BLOGPOSTS are to be published, so people can be educated on the details, logistics, and many other aspects of assimilation into the unicorn society.
