Huckabees Blog Post Assignment

I heard that I heart Huckabees was a great movie but too bad I missed almost the whole movie and actually have no idea what it is about. When Mr.Manley ask us to respond to this question: "Do we live in a world that is meaningful and makes sense?" At first I didnt understand what the question meant but come to think of it, I do think we live in a world that is meaningful. This question seem so simple but I just cant get the whole meaning out. Part of me thinks the world is meaningful but another part of me says it doesnt. So I am just going to stick with; the world is meaningful. Everyone of us are connected in certain ways. We all have to inhale. We all have to eat and drink. We all have to sleep. We all have to pee and poop. We all have a heart. But everyone acts differently, their actions or personality determine who they are. The reason I said this world is meaningful is because I see why there is a purpose of being born then approach death. I know that everyone is afraid of death but thats how it will be for us. Our mind control ourselves which controls the world, and god control us. God is the one who made us. I am guessing he wants everyone to experience how life would be like, and when the time comes, we either be next to him or underneath him. Every person is born to have an carrer or a history, but why do we have to face death?

Barack Obama, he is our first black president. It has been centuries since New York has a black person for a president. Wont that make black culture feel special? They're now part of the nation. "We" belong togehter as one. Obama was chose to be president because "we" including god believe that he will be able to help us. Every presidents gave in some supports to New York, so we can live better. Now if Obama ends today, the world will be meaningful because when the younger generation learn about the pass history; they will say "I am glad I am a New Yorker." "Hey! thats my grandfather who gave hopes for us to live longer." Dont you think Obama's children have great support and protection if his/her parent are able to make this city rise? The younger generation will learn about us, how the world has change in several years. If they learn that we gave supports, they will learn from our footsteps.

"The White House"... doesnt these 3 words make your body feel a little bit static? When you say "The White House" dont you feel strong and condifent? The White House is a place where you want to be. Whoever comes out that building or whoever put a foot on that building, has done something meaningful for us. Or when you say "The Pledge of Allegiance" dont you just want to cry and it helps you to grow? Each time i say the pledge of allegiance, i feel my heart gets bigger and bigger. It forces me to fight for this country and never surrender. "Is that meaningful?"

Dont you feel lucky that this world mean something? We never lost in a battle. We never ever back down from a fight. We have president(s) and government to help us to live better. We have the armies and maries to fight for this country. In this world, we have everything we need. I was also listening to this song, "Empire State Of Mind" by Jay Z feature Alicia Keyes, the lyrics makes me feel a lot stonger... it helps me to grow and become a better person. So the world is meaningful.
