Day 28 of the February daily challenge

 My favorite jokes

 Today is the last day of the every day challenge, I will of course post more, just not neccessarily every day. I might even post two things in a day like I did before the challenge. 

1. Three guys stranded on a desert island find a magic lantern containing a genie, who grants them each one wish. The first guy wishes he was off the island and back home. The second guy wishes the same. The third guy says: ‘I’m lonely. I wish my friends were back here.’
2. China has a population of a billion people. One billion. That means even if you’re a one in a million kind of guy, there are still a thousand others exactly like you
3. Two campers are walking through the woods when a huge brown bear suddenly appears in the clearing about 50 feet in front of them. The bear sees the campers and begins to head toward them. The first guy drops his backpack, digs out a pair of sneakers, and frantically begins to put them on. The second guy says, ‘What are you doing? Sneakers won’t help you outrun that bear.’ ‘I don’t need to outrun the bear,’ the first guy says. ‘I just need to outrun you.’
4. The group thought the funniest was the one about the kid vs the barber, but surely humour is subjective?
5. ‘If they exceed these limits, the joke will not be perceived as funny.’
6. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
7. A young blonde fears her husband is having an affair. She goes to a gun shop and buys a handgun. The next day she finds him in bed with a redhead. She grabs the gun and holds it to her own head. The husband jumps off the bed and starts begging and pleading with her not to shoot herself. Hysterically, the blonde responds to the husband: “Shut up, you’re next.”
8. A classic from Tommy Cooper – I said to the gym instructor: “Can you teach me to do the splits?” He said: “How flexible are you?” I said: “I can’t make Tuesdays.”
9. Went to the doctors and said: “Have you got anything for wind?” He gave me a kite.
10. I saw this bloke chatting up a cheetah. I thought: “He’s trying to pull a fast one.
11. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One goes to a family in Egypt and is named Amal. The other goes to Spain and is named Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving it, she tells her husband that she wished she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband said: “But they are twins. If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Amal.”
12. I went to buy camouflage trousers but I couldn’t find any.
13. “My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.”
14. I met a Dutch girl with inflatable shoes last week, phoned her up for a date but she’d popped her clogs.
15. Four fonts walk into a bar. The barman says: “Oi – get out. We don’t want your type in here.”

Day 27 of the February daily challenge

Finding A Neutral Ground On Power On Social Media

Don’t you find it incredible how much power anyone can get from social media? Cyberbullying isn’t the only power that you see often on social media. In the article “Social Media Should Be Used Responsibly” is clear from the article that a lot of teens are behind most of the cyberbullying, that being said, that doesn’t mean that adults never cyberbully. Adults can use power by monetization and advertisements on social media. There are a lot of blogs; even on specific social media platforms, that have advertisements. Social media has become more and more politically incorrect because of the power of what anyone can achieve on social media. This paper will explain will go in depth of how social media is becoming more politically incorrect and the importance of social media returning politically correct.

A 12 year old girl named Rebecca Ann Sedwick was a victim of cyberbullying, and this was one of her last messages that she received, “You aren’t dead yet” and prodded her to “Go jump off of a building.” The meaning of politically incorrect is potentially offensive to a particular group of people. However, as our world has advanced more, the term generally is: not caring about offending others. America is a country with people who want the world to become more political correct. Which is good but being completely politically correct is impossible; part of it is because of the international society on social media. A neutral ground is a better way for our society to become.

Generally, being more positive on social media is a way to keep a neutral ground one everything. There are different ways that positive gets drawn out of text and gets twisted. The term we should use; is ‘positive attitude’. Having a positive attitude towards others brings society back to neutral ground. Either way that our society wants to become, is some sort of power that we all want. Being positive and less offensive gives you power that you can handle. If you compare someone who is trending on social media and he or she  thinks and acts more negatively than positive then they might have power but are unstable. A trending person on social media that thinks and acts positively and less negatively is more stable. When you look back at the teens who were bullying Rebecca, were they acting positively? No, they were unstable, therefore letting it out on an innocent victim.

Social media has led the world to become more politically incorrect than correct because of the certain power they want to achieve. Any gain of control can be offensive which isn’t politically correct. Which brings me to a conversation that was happening in the comment section on a YouTube video. It was a tease on how the world should become more politically correct. In the comment section there was a debate about whether or not people care about offending others or not. Most of people’s comments said that they want to have complete freedom of speech, which gives a lot of potential for power to rise on social media. There were comments suggesting that we should be open minded about others and be thoughtful of others, being less racist and sexist to others. People take a lot of offence on these matters. Both ways have potential of power, which one is the stable way. In the end, both aren’t stable because if you sit there trying to be mindful of others how does that make you speak up when you have an opinion. The neutral way of power is the way.

Day 25 of the February daily challenge

A quick update about my blog and channel.

I am planning on focusing a lot on shooting and editing for my videos, so I have decided to just say in the future that weekly videos will comeout in the weekend, either Saturday late evening or late morning sundays. I feel like I have rushed things in previous videos. I used to wake up on Saturday, start filming at 11 ish in the morning and then I might have an event during the day and I would have to leave the project and I would come back and start editing at six or something and I would edit past midnight to get it done. Now I've decided, it will not matter if I upload on Sundays. 

As for my blog, I want to write more fiction, so I want to practice that. However, I would like to get feedback from you guys. If you choose to follow my blog, then you can know when my new post comes out and emediately respond and give me tips or get inspired by my writing. My dream is to entertain people. But I also want to have people think more. Theological and philosophical questions, in my opinion are so great because I love to think very deep in questions, I love discussions, and I love evaluation. So you can count on more critical thinking topics, but also fiction and short stories that I want to write.

I really, do appreciate it when you read my posts, it gives me more motivation and drives me to my passion. It will help me reach my goal of my dream. I would appreciate comments, I would comment back thanking you because that shows that I appreciate that you pause from other things and read my posts. CHeck out my YouTube channel called Creative Ganger. That's all I have for today. Keep a smile on your face!

Day 24 of the February daily challenge

(You are poisoning my mind!) 

Part 3

Poor girl. She wasn't sleeping normally. She couldn't sleep. She had to many thoughts on her mind. Okay maybe she slept like one or two but not much longer. She woke up the next morning and had more questions for Lotso. 

"How did you still love God after all that God did to you?" The little girl said. She wasn't so little, she was 15 years old. 

"First of all, everyone always gives credit to God for ruining their lives. God never leaves anyone. We never take consideration that Satan has influence. No one blames him but we blame God? The thing is that we are getting to that time where we don't no much about Satan. Satan is real. Satan has specific power. There are things he can do to Christians even. He cannot touch them because of Jesus but he can put thoughts in your mind and influence you to do wrong. Satan has more power over the nonebelievers. He can cast demons in people and that is very real no doubt about that. People have shared testimonies in such matters. Stop blaming God for all the bad stuff in your life."

"But then who has control over someone's death? Satan or God." Asked the little girl.

"Death is not something either controls. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23. This tells us that because we have sinned, therefore death is the penalty, that is the whole reason why God sent Jesus to take our place. If we believe in what he has done for us on the cross, we will be saved. Satan did not create death and God didn't create death. Death is where sin goes. God didn't create sin, and Satan didn't either. Sure Satan loves tricking people into that but he didn't create it." Lotso answered.

"Did God have control over whether my dad would live or die that moment?" The little girl asked.

"You seem to get deciding and knowing. You have been believing that God chose to 'kill' your dad. He didn't choose a certain time for him to die. There are many contriversal studies around this subject, but he knew when your dad would die. Eileen, there are just going to be more questions to every answer I give you, and part of the reason why we can't know everything is because we are limited on earth."

The little girl had an influencial thought in her mind and said, "You are poisoning my mind!"

"Who is poisoning you? God, Satan or me? It seems to me that it is Satan. I have gone trough all of these hardtimes in my life and I cannot make you put your faith in Jesus for what he did for you. You will have to discover that for your self. I have a plane to catch!"

The end!

Keep a smile on your face!

Day 23 on the February daily challenge

(Your poisoning my mind!)

Part 2

Lotso rang the doorbell to the house and the little girl's mother opened the door and said, "Greetings! I hope that this place is cleaned up enough for you!" Lotso looked at the little girl who was now 15 and saw disappointment in her face. He was sure it wasn’t just because he was here. Lotso sat down in the living room and the little girl’s mother offered tea for him.

“Little girl, what’s your name?” He said in a rather nice and kind tone. Obviously it didn’t matter what the tone was for her, she still took offense.

“First of all, I am not a little girl. I am 15 years old and I know how to take care of myself! My name is Eileen.” She said.

“I see you can take care of yourself. You managed to run away but you came back after what, one and a half years? You clearly took care of yourself well, what made you come back? Was it perhaps not enough food, or was it you actually deep down in your heart miss your moth-” Lotso got interrupted by the girl.

“-Don’t you dare say mother! I did not come back here because I missed her. I still hate her. She slept with a man who I didn’t get to know well, my mom rushed into things so fast. She forgot who my real father was. Now I have a step brother who I don’t even have time to get to know, I am already to busy, and quite frankly, I don’t even care. I don’t love him.”

“May I ask you what it was like when your biological father was there for you?” Lotso asked with a low tone, he didn’t want her to leave this conversation.

“We were all happy together. My father read to me bible verses every evening. My mother used to go to church with him and we all went together. That whole religious thing worked out, it gave my hope and happiness. But now I know it is all a lie. My dad died after he promised he would come back from work. My mother and I stopped going to church, my mother started swearing for the first time. I left God, I don’t even believe he listens to me, it’s like he wants to destroy all my happiness. Because of that, I have decided to leave that religious stuff. No more of all that nonsense. Stop poisoning my mind about that religious lie!” She exclaimed.

“Look, sometimes, God tests us. God tested me. My mother died of cancer. Two years after that my father died in a car accident. My older brother got our house on fire about a year later. My older brother left us for drinking and drugs. He left us on the streets and just disappeared. My Sister committed suicide about two years later. And one year, I had to live on my own until finally I was taken in by a nice family. My name became Mr. Lotso. Believe it or not, my whole family, when we were all together, were followers of Christ. You see, that’s the thing. People always see Christianity as a cultural religion. And while, yes there are events like the lord’s supper that we keep cultural because that reminds us of Jesus. Christianity really means follower of Jesus. So it really is a relationship rather than a religion. All you have to do is repent and believe that Jesus died for our sins. Then it is just a matter of building that relationship. You may not believe me, but I here every word God is telling me. He is asking you why this test is too hard for you.”

The little girl thought about what Lotso said that night but Lotso could not go home because there was a bad storm.

Day 22 of the February daily challenge

Here is another short story called:

(You are poisoning my mind!)

This little teenager was heart broken at age eleven. You can't blame her for all her trauma and hopeless life that she had made her life become. She had no reason to be happy anymore. You may be wondering what caused her to become like this? Or what kept her alive for all these years? What was her motivation to live longer? At age 11 she was heart broken because her father went to work, her father was a soldier. in fact he was a general of the military. When this girl was 11, her father said good bye to her, and he promised that he would return home. He said, "Your daddy is strong, you believe that right? I will return to give you hugs, I promise. What ever you do, always put your trust in the lord!"

A couple weeks later. A messenger came to the girl's house. The messenger told the mother, "your father has died in a battle, he saved his crew and he saved our country, but he sacrificed himself for his fellow soldiers. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, I can prepare a meal for you guys. 

"God! I hate you!" Screamed the little girl. "Why did you have to take my father's life. My daddy promised he would returned, and I trusted you in that promise!" She continued in her tantrum and that was the moment she hated God. You may be wondering why she is hopeless now, why she felt like there was no hope? Well, the story continues on and things get worse for her. Ever since her father died, her mother never smiled. Her mother started cursing and swearing, which was something she never did before. She started hanging out at late night bars. She was looking for someone to muster up all that sadness and grief inside of her. 

"Hey, you! You are very pretty looking, I can tell that you have gone through some ****y times lately." Yes, this guy was that type of fellow. The cool guy who warms up people when they are sad. But not just that but the type of guy who doesn't care what leaves his mouth. 

"Excuse me, you shouldn't mind some one's business without knowing what that person has gone through. My husband died two months ago." The mother explained.

After a few months, she started inviting that guy home and getting to know him better. You can't blame the little girl for being heart broken. Her father died, her mother started swearing, and now her mother is trying to replace the little girl's father. Actually she isn't so little. She was 12 at the time. 

One night, the little girl caught her mother sleeping with the guy. That's when the girl lost it all. From that moment on, she decided to run away. 

Meanwhile, a spy that was connected to the FBI and CIA, was reporting what was going on in the family. There is a top secret agency that deals with depressed families that could be threatening to each other, and the agency helps them by letting a missionary know what's happening. The missionary later goes to their house and spends time with that family and tries to help them.

A guy named John Lower, was part of that spy agency, he notified Jeremy Lotso, who is a missionary, about this family. For the next two months, that missionary, was praying for the family and trying to find out how God wants him to help the family.

After two years. The girl finally returned home and Jeremy Lotso had finished researching about the family. Lotso asked the mother when he could come. The mother told him, in March on the 25th. This was in about five weeks. In march was also when the little girl turned fifteen. 

The little girl returned home and noticed a baby of about eight months old. That baby was basically her half or step brother. 

The day had come when Lotso was coming to their house.

To be continued...

If you are interested in part two, it will be out tomorrow. Guess you will have to wait and see why I chose that title.

Day 21 of the February daily challenge

(Read part one first! if you haven't already. That is yesterday's post)

What is behind the door?

"Alicen! You had better get down here or you will be late for school!" My mother woke me up just a bit later than my normal routine. I still managed to get ready for school on time. 

My twin broth always likes to play video games before we leave for school. He always 'seems to get ready' before he plays video games."Mick come on! get your butt off of the couch and get going!" 

we were on our way to school, believe it or not but I was the driver. I drove both of us to school. Some of Mick's friends make fun of him for not driving me. But I kind of like it when his friends make fun of him. We were at school right outside, I looked behind me and there was my boy friend, he wore a black leather jacket and both sides of his jeans had holes in the knee area. He looked very cool. 

Every once and a while, My boy friend and I skip first class and have some time talking, sometimes these moments lead to some romantic moments. That day, I was the one who kissed him. He was worried about something, and I said, "Kevin, stop talking." and I kissed him. I told him, "do you want to go somewhere more private? I have a good place where we can have fun!" I lead him out of the locker area and I brought him to a hallway, there was a bathroom sign that was for girls. We both had the same ideas but as I opened the door to the bathroom to lead us in there, the principal saw us. 

He said, "What are you doing? aren't you supposed to be in class at this time? Now I understand why both of you guys are late to class some days. Both of you, come to my office immediately!" 

Both Kevin and I were in the Principal's office and he said, "If I am not mistaken, you skipped class to make out! You could have at least done it somewhere else, what do you think school is? Both of you are suspended for three days. 

I came home rather excited, because now I didn't have to worry about school the rest of the week. I had finished three days of school work that evening, so you could say the suspension was worth it. 

My mother came to my room to talk to me and she said, "You never told me you make out with Kevin! I think you could at least have him get o know our family, for any boy friend actually. I don't know much about him, so who knows how he could influence you?"

"Mom, I know what you mean, but it wasn't him who got us in trouble today. He is very cool with the jacket and jeans, but he is more shy then me. I'm sorry mom, I was responsible for both Kevin and my suspension." 

I turned of my room light and my mom closed the door. I still had my lamp on. I went to the closet door and I tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. I went down stairs to get a drink of water and on my way back up the stairs I heard footsteps coming from my room and then I went in my room and I heard the window close shut. I looked out of the window but apparently who ever it was was gone. I went to the closet door and opened the door, and I was amazed because this door had never been opened when my family moved here. It was quite a big closet and I was amazed how much dust was on some of the shelves. But then I say this tiny light switch and I turned on the light in the closet and I saw photos on the back wall. They were pictures of me during the night and pictures of my at school, I don't know how a person would manage that. I saw some pictures that looked embarrassing. There were photos of me getting dressed. Why was Someone stalking me. 

Suddenly the door closed behind me. There was a man and he had a mask on it. He was forcing me to the back wall until there was nothing in between him and the wall but me. He put his hand around my neck and started a gently squeeze and his other hand he used to put duck tape around my lips so I couldn't scream. Then, sorry, this is very hard for me to talk about. He brought one of his hand down below my neck, put his finger on my color bone and ran it down, sorry, this is to much for me. I need to skip forward. I closed my eyes thinking it was over, I had a necklace that had a sharp edge on it but I had no chance using it to fight this guy. My arms were behind my back squished against the wall. I reached a little further to the necklace in my back pocket and took it out and I started to cut my back, I started from below my ribs but then I heard a loud bang. suddenly the man fell on top of me and I had control of my hands and so I pushed him out of my way. I looked at the entrance of the door of the closet and I saw Kevin. 

"Kevin you saved me, how did you know this guy was stalking me?" I asked him.

"I didn't I asked your mother if I could see you and she allowed me to go up to see you. Then I noticed that your closet door was open so I went to look inside and I saw the man strangle you. I grabbed the gun on the shelf but very quiet, that man apparently was focused on you so much, I had the chance to shoot him, so I did... ...Alicen, you cut your back? Why did you do that?"

"I was hopeless, I couldn't scream for help and I didn't want to bare the pain that this guy was going to give me, it was already hurting me." I replied.

"I'm glad your safe Alicen!" 

"What's going on up there?" Shouted my mom, she sounded worried.

The end

Day 20 of the February daily challenge

What's behind the closet door?

"Stop throwing Nerf balls at me!" I blinked and then heard a shatter, I looked back at the mirror that was shattered. 

"Why did you duck, now I'm going to be in trouble!" Said my annoying twin brother. He loves to annoy me. He can sometimes be really wierd. He embarrassed me when we were at school and he revealed the secret about who I kissed yesterday. Why did he have to tell his friends. Boys can be so annoying! especially if they are a twin of yours. When you are that close to each other, you know each others secrets. 

My mom came home and looked at the mirror that was shattered. She apparently did not have a good day at work. She said with an angry face, "Alicen, why did you break that mirror?"

"Mom, I did not break that mirror. You see that nerf ball? Why would I through nerf balls, Mick broke the mirror!" I got more angry, not just because I didn't break the mirror but also because Mick was blaming me for breaking the mirror.

"Since I can't find out which one of you did it, both of you are skipping dinner and going straight to your rooms, and don't bother bringing your phones in there!" Mom was obviously stressed by other reasons. My dad left us and doesn't want to do with either me or Mick. 

I went to my room, and what I don't like, is why at age 16, I have this kind of punishment from my mother. Atleast my phone wasn't taken longer than one night. What I experienced next was so creepy, I got nightmares. I looked toward the closet in my room, and what is very strange, is why my closet door is always locked. It has been locked even before we moved here. That is not the reason why I got nightmares, no the reason was, was that I sometimes here scratches on the door, I experienced it that night, but it sounds like a rat is behind that door. But I can't find out what is in there because it is always locked. I decided to walk to the closet, I looked through the lock whole and didn't see anything, everything was pitch black through that whole. I walked back to my bed and finally decided to get into my night gown. I layed still on my bed for a couple of hours, not closing my eyes, but it seemed like the moment I shut my eyes I got a nightmare. 

In my dream I was in my bedroom, I looked at the closet door. I looked down and saw crumb marks going to my closet. I walked towards the closet. I looked behind me because I thought I felt someone touch my shoulders. Then I looked back at the door. Suddenly I felt a scratch on myback, it started from top and went slowly doen my spin down to my lower torso and then I looked back to see who scratched me. I was so confused at what was happening. I heard a scratch coming from the closet. I looked back at the closet door. I turned the knob, and I saw this big empty room. When out of nowhere, I saw a rat bigger than one foot, he looked at me with its red eyes. I looked away closing my eyes and when I looked back I saw this man. he had a scar starting from his upper face above his left eye and went down and crossed to the right side of his lips. He had a star tattoo on his wrist. I blinked and when I looked again he had a camera in his eyes, he flashed the lights and it seemed like the light blinded me for a second. I had apparently fell against the door of the closet. I don't know why I closed the closet in a dark room when there could have been anything in the closet, and there was, a rat that turned into a man. I was in a sitting position against the door and the man crouched down and looked right in my face and I noticed he was wearing a facial mask. I took it off and saw...

..."Kevin? why are you in my closet?" he got a bat and wacked me with it. then suddenly I woke up. I looked at the closet and I got out of bed and looked through the lock again and noticed a shadow move. 

To be continued!

If you want to know what really is behind the closet door, you will have to wait till tomorrow for part two to come out. Thank You so much for reading this short story of mine. I appreciate it. If you haven't already, check out my latest video on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et6LuAa-lhU

Day 19 of the February challenge

My goals for the coming month

before we begin, please let me know what you are interested in reading. You can let me know down in the comments, or you can let me know on one of my social media platforms. You can follow me on twitter: @CreativeGanger, google plus: +Creative Ganger, or tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday. 

In this coming month I have many goals I want to make and achieve. From goals of what I want to do with my family to school goals, to YouTube, etc. First of all, I want to set a goal for this quarter in school. I want to go above my previous quarter GPA. So I want to focus a little more on school than I was before. I still want to focus on YouTube, I want to stay on schedule for my videos and at least until the end of February, I want to be successful with my February month challenge. Now that I am getting a camera with a starter kit, I can make better quality videos. I want to be able to come up with a bunch of video ideas. I think next weekend will be my best video so far. I have something cool planned. I also want to read through some books that I have laid off because of everything that was going on with me. This week I have the most time to do that. My dream for the next couple of months is for one of my videos to go viral. I really want to entertain people and I want to support others who are going through hard times, I believe, a good attitude on my channel can shine people's faces. Not just that, but I believe that I am getting a good amount of encouragement in starting YouTube. It will take time, but that's why I choose to start now, so that I can gain experience for bigger projects. My dream is to get to a point to where I have a TV show and where I am completely in charge, basically starting my own studio company and everything. I think it great that I started this year and not later or earlier. I think if I started later my experience might take more time. If I started earlier, one, it would look bad, and two I don't think I had the time making videos and editing at a younger age.

Okay, enough talking about life goals and dreams that I have, I should get on to the coming month. I believe that the more goals you set for your self the longer your successful stage will be. If you have a few goals and then you accomplish them, what do you do after that? For the next coming month. I am going to busy because I am in a school musical and March is just going to be very busy because late march is when he performance is. I will try to upload videos in march on weekends. There might be in the week vlogs sometime in March but it depend on how much time I have. I have decided for the last Saturday of each month to do my Creative Show, that is why I chose next Saturday for my first Creative Show. Since I just started YouTube and my blog, it is really amazing to think about who reads my posts and watches my videos. A lot of my friends watch my videos but I don't if any of my friends read my posts. It is amazing to think that some of you guys are interested in what I write, which gives me motivation, which pretty much creates new goals that I set for my self. I want to thank You guys so munch, I know that it is very early in my blog and YouTube life but I really appreciate it. Let me know if you want me to share more goals that I have in a later post.

Day 18 of the February daily challenge

The art of imagination

Before we begin, I want to remind you to let me know what kind of things you would like me to write about. You can tell me down in the comments, or you can let me know on one of my social media platforms, you can follow me on twitter: @CreativeGanger, google plus: +Creative Ganger, or tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday. Let's begin.

First of all, I love imagining things, now this doesn't make me a introvert. I do zone out sometimes when I have a thought on my mind. I like to imagine so that I can write stories. If I couldn't imagine how could I even think of starting a blog, let alone a YouTube channel. My English teacher taught me to feel empathy towards the characters you read so that you can understand the character and know what's going on in the story, feeling the character helps you like them more and actually feel like you are connected to the character. I have recently asked this question. If we did not imagine, would we still be here today as it is now? I would agree to the answer no, we would not be here without the key of imagination. We would not have come to this point in technology. Thomas Edison, without imagination would never have invented the light bulb, or get inspiration from someone. The Wright Brothers would not have invented an airplane if they did not imagine achieving something that extraordinary. In a way, Imagination can be wondering if this or that could happen. But of course imagination can be used negatively or have a negative impact on you. For example, Albert Einstein came up with the equation E=MC2 which led to more equations that eventually led to the wonder of making a nuclear bomb. Albert Einstein was a Passive man, he did not intend his inventions to be used for war, but his imagination gave inspiration to others who thought it could be useful for war and then they imagined what it would be like making the bomb and eventually went through with it. Imagination can cause people to day dream which isn't bad unless you are never paying attention to reality, if you are day dreaming and you don't notice your at a crosswalk, now this depends on how deep your day dreaming is, if you aren't in a deep day dream you know your surroundings, but if it is deeper you don't, if you are not paying attention to the crosswalk you could get into an accident. In my opinion though, their seems to be less cons than pros for imagining. That is why I still love to imagine. 

What has the art of imagination help me achieve?

I ended up publishing to you guys my Dreamtastraphy short story, the Ultimate enemy, and the Worst fear short story. without this art, I would not be able to continue writing my story. the one that I showed some of my brainstorming. 

I would encourage you guys to imagine beyond what you normally imagine. Take a few minutes in a silent room, focus only on your thoughts and imagine beyond what you normally imagine. If you love writing, this is perfect for giving you more ideas. If you are an actual artist, it will give you ideas to paint or draw about, and for anybody else, it is very useful.

Day 17 of the February daily challenge

What happens when we give children what they want?

Before we start, please let me know what kind of topics you would be interested in reading. You can comment below or you can tell me on my social media platforms, you can follow me on Twitter: @CreativeGanger, Google plus: +Creative Ganger, or tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday. Let's begin

Things we don't understand about giving kids what ever they want

1. We don’t understand the future implications of giving them everything they want right now
2. We want them to have the life we didn’t
3. We are afraid to tell our children no because we know there will be backlash or because we think they will feel loved if we say yes.
4. We want them to fit in with their peers because it’s hard to be different.
5. We feel it’s often easier just to give in
6. We struggle with a bit of affluenza ourselves

Often times we see our selves facing a kid who wants to get something that ever one else has, but let's say we say no at first but they throw a tantrum and we can't bare that and end up saying yes. We need to know that because we have given kids things to early, we see kids at six years old with ipads and iphones, we see eleven year old boys playing bloody battles in assassin's creed. And we have thirteen year old girls going shopping for clothes that aren't appropriate for them. My father's generation was different, yes kids were spoiled, but not to the extent to this generation. My father did normal activities as a kid and activities appropriate for his age. They had to learn to work for themselves. This generation is so spoiled, we are causing people to work less in their late teens and wanting to do their own things, they end up needing help from parents so they might spend their early adulthood with their parents or they might be jobless. 

Jesus, speaking to the people, he went on, “Take care! Protect yourself against the least bit of greed. Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot." Luke 12:15 

As generations pass it seems to me that people are getting more and more greedy, and yes their are greedy historical moments but greed has increased over time. But we can still be honest with our children, and if you're a kid you can still be thankful for what you have. We can decrease the greediness by letting everyone know this.

Most of this is based on someone else's article but I put in some of my thoughts to. If you want to see Kristen's article you can go to this link: http://wearethatfamily.com/2014/01/what-really-happens-when-we-give-kids-everything-they-want/

List of things I do when I am board.

Before we begin, please, please let me know what you might want to read. Tell me in the comments or on one of my social media platforms. You can follow me on twitter: @CreativeGanger, google plus: +Creative Ganger, or tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday. let's begin!

1.  Find a time consuming game to play
2.  Read a book
3.  Write a story
4.  Just rest with my eyes closed
5.  Do any extra work 
6.  Solve mathematic equations
7.  Answer a philosophical question
8.  Watch a movie
9.  Just watch YouTube
10.  Scroll through facebook posts

1) I like to play time consuming games if there really isn't anything I can do. I like to play the games 2048, Geometry dash, and there are probably more.

2) I would read a book if I couldn't do anything else, if I could not have access to electronics, I would read books. I like reading the series Ranger's Apprentice, and Kingdoms dawn. 

3) I like writing short stories, what I would do is put on some music and start brainstorming ideas, if it is a story taht I don't want to neccessarily go over and over again, I would just start right away. The music usually helps me think of the story and plot. SOmetimes the music I listen to remind me of a lost thought that I had.

4) If nothing else I would just lay on my bed and just close my eyes until I have something to do.

5) If there is any work for school that I have to do or maybe just outside school projects then I would work on that. If I thought maybe I could study for a test that I have to take in a few days because I have nothing else to do.

6) I like Math and when I am board I would solve random equations or I would prove a theory on a certain aspect. I like to think of numbers.

7) I actually enjoy hearting my head with deep questions. When there is a philosophical questions that I want to asnwer I would write it down and try to answer it. Just like I did with the question what if we were omniscient.

8) I might just watch a random movie if I am really board.

9) I spend a lot of my time watching YouTube and when I am on it I watch all kinds of varities of topics. 

10) WHen I really have nothing to do I will just scroll through the facebook posts or even read through facebook comments.

Thank You for reading and please let me know of any topic you would like me to write about. If you haven't already, check out my youtube channel called Creative Ganger!

Day 15 of the February daily challenge

Here is another short story!

"I got a pocket ace!" ha. Said a guy overjoyed with almost certainty that he was going to win. 

"Guess you were, wrong loser, I got a royal flush! Guess you shouldn't be praising yourself to early, son!"

"Look who's talking, I got all aces!" Guess ya'll shouldn't have put all in." I was looking around just making sure no one had spotted me cheating. It seems suspicious when you get all aces, although I have an obsession of lying, I am the king of lying. I know how to fool someone of think that I am telling the truth to lie about the truth but really telling a lie for the truth, making it seem like the truth is a lie, by fooling the guy who thinks they read faces. You see, I am a people person, I study people's behavior and learn about deep secrets that they hide or personal things that are never told even to friends. A people person knows others and how they act and behave. They would know from the behavior whether they are good at basketball or not. Even when it seems irrelevant.

"Someday, you won't be so lucky!" said the guy with the pocket ace. He pushed the money to me and said, "You ain't worth my time cheater!"

"I'm not a cheater!" I said. No one really cared. I mean they only bring ten gran to bet and most guys here at the casino own three hundred gran. I went home with twenty five gran because there were five of us playing. 

I opened the door to my apartment with excitement and said, "I'm home honey!" I put my win on the counter top in the kitchen and said, "Remember the lottery that you let me sign up for? well I won the 25 gran!" 

"That's great sweety!" She said "I told you we'd win!" She seemed to have believed me, of course I did sign up for a lottery that was 25 gran but I did not win the lottery. 

"Let's have a movie night, my dear!" I said, changing the subject. I could tell she needed some relaxation from all the stress of working all day. She is a business woman and she is a perfectionist. 

"I would love to Drake! You seem to be in a good mood!" She said smiling, her smile widened as she saw me take out ice cream from the freezer. I told her we should do it the right way. 

We sat on the couch as we watched the movie and ate the ice cream. She leaned her self on me and had one leg on the couch and the other crossing over her leg playing footsie with me. After we got more into the movie, I laid my head on her lap. I started fading away. 

During this time I had some kind of dream, but I forgot what the dream looked like, all I remember is the words I thought about. "I thought about my lies I made. I even lied go my boss today. I thought about what would happen if they would find out any of my lies. Though I was good at making a lie to cover another lie and so on, my wife is smart too and she reads faces. There is something about her that makes her lose that ability when she talks to me, or when I talk to her.  What would happen if she would find out about me playing poker, out of all things. My worst fear is if she wants to leave me. I wouldn't bare to leave her.

The next morning I woke up in my bed and I realized she was cuddling me, she had put her arms around my waist like I was a teddy bear. I was in a comfortable position so I went back to sleep. 

I woke up and realized my wife was out of bed. I got out of bed and went to the living room. She was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed and a note on a paper.

"What is it honey?" I asked her.

"Did you lie about winning the lottery?" She asked with sadness in her eyes, she already new that I lied. There is something about these situations that make me lie anyways.

"No, I didn't!" The thing is that I said it in the correct tone and everything, she knows how to spot lies, but even though I had no evidence from my body language, my face and my tone, she still knew I lied. She started crying.

"I ask you a question I know the answer to, yet you still lie to me, why is that? The winner of the lottery was even announced this morning on TV. Unless you can explain to me what is going on, I am leaving you!" She said as she stiffened up and got serious.

At this moment I broke. What I mean by broke is that my whole personality and self wasn't normal, it wasn't the usual me. She noticed that but still was looking for an answer. 

"I'm sorry Kim that I lied to you, yes I didn't win the lottery. I'm sorry, so, so, sorry, but I went to play poker at a casino last night. I won 25 gran. I kept everything about my self a secret from you. That I read people, that I am the king of lies, that I knew how to keep you from reading my face until now. The thing is that I am obsessed with lies. Ever since I experienced my uncle's death of a murderer, I studied about reading people's faces and expressions, I started lying my self even but with the right form, I never lied anymore since then the way a typical liar would. I fooled my boss, I fooled you. I basically controlled you. But the truth is, I love you Kim. My deepest fear is you leaving me. I would give up my obsession just for you if I had to. Do you understand? and I am so, sorry for hearting you."

"Thank you for telling me the truth." I've decided not to leave you, but you will have to make up for it by spending evenings with me. We could start our own investigation agency and we could still use your talent for use. Please don't lie to me anymore!" She said, as her frown became a smile.

From that moment on, my fears were gone and I had put my love in her not in pathological lies.

The reason why I started writing this blog!

I want to remind you first that you can ask me any topic that you would like me to write about. You can comment below or you can ask me on my social media platforms and you may follow me on twitter: @CreativeGanger, google plus, +Creative Ganger, or tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday.

There are many reasons why I wanted to start a blog. I have a passion for writing, and I want to express the way I feel by letting it out through writing. I think the reason, in my opinion, for having a blog is to write directly to a reader, and it makes it more and more fun when the reader interacts and asks questions which gives bloggers motivation. Though, I have wanted to write an actual novel. I would still have to go through quite a process. I am still young, so getting a novel published is hard, but that is a reason why I've decided to blog, which is to practice writing, and to involve the readers early on in my writing life. Also I love writing scripts, so eventually I would make funny scripts for YouTube. Here is a spoiler, I am going to start a big show, where I am the host and I have a guest and it will be like a TV show where you do interviews. I'm planning to make it really funny. I started script writing in the summer, I was making a couple scripts for Studio Classroom in Taiwan as an "Internship" except I wasn't technically the intern, it was my sister, but I helped because in the summer they had to get a lot done. We had two finish writing 90 scripts of twenty to forty second skits in a month. The boss there at ORTV told me to be simpler in my writing because it is after all English lessons for Chinese. It was really fun. 

Back to more reasons why I wanted to start a blog. I am also learning deep in creative writing because I want to get at least a bachelors degree in writing and I want a master's degree in Filmography and acting. I mean I want to learn a lot in media. One reason I wanted to learn writing is because I wanted a back up for my self just in case everything backfires. The main reason is because I love writing, and I love words, I love describing things in a powerful way, and in a detailed way. Writing this blog has been a great experience, and I don't know what would happen if I lost ideas, I might run out of ideas. So as my blog gets more popular I can get topic ideas from other people. I could write more short stories like the dreamtastrophy and the ultimate enemy. Another reason why I decided to blog was to be able to take my mind off of other things and focus on writing. I also, to be honest, did this to get more fame, and I wanted to use my blog to help me create a YouTube channel.

Day 13 of the February challenge

Childhood memory!

Before I get on to the subject, I would like to remind you to ask me down in the comments or anywhere on my social media platforms. You can follow me on Twitter: @CreativeGanger, Google plus: +Creative Ganger, or tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday.

I was living in the Netherlands. I lived in a small town called Voorthuisen, which was in the province of Gelderland. I think the specific memory I am going to share was when I was like five or six. It was a long time ago. I lived in a neighborhood of row houses. There were two row houses across the street from my house and in between was a little playground. There were row houses on each side of mine. But I had a really good friend. I played with her a lot in the playground. Actually I had quite a few friends in the neighborhood. My sister and I would always play outside in the playground with our friends. My friend was in my class at school so I got to see her even more. I mean, I pretty much saw her everyday as if that wasn't enough. Anyways, I really like the times when she and I would have swimming lessons. It wasn't the swimming lessons that was fun, because I think she was in a higher level or something like that. But what was fun about it was the fact that I got to sometime ride home with her or she sometimes got to ride with me home. In the car we always had fun talking and talking. We also enjoyed drinking juice boxes in the car. But what I think is ironic is that I spend so much time talking and playing with her but I don't remember hanging out in her house so often. There were probably some moments but not very many. Sometimes she came to my house. I remember this one time. When she had a birthday party, I was invited to her party, and we went to this place called monkey town which was a climb and slide kind of place. Kind of like an obsticle course and everything but for kids. I was invited to her party, but I was the only boy invited. I think it didn't really matter because I played with her friends just as much as I would with boys. There are a lot of good memories with her. I was probably nine or something like that when I remember she invited me to her birthday party and we went bowling. I was again the only boy invited, but it was still pretty fun. I even still remember the score I made. I scored 80 points and beat one other girl who had 79. I was the winner. In 2010 I moved to Vienna, Austria. I kind of lost connection with her. I kind of regret that. But actually. I visited quite a few times and got to talk to her and see her. But as more years passed I lost connection with her. I only saw her once last summer and that was for a glimpse of a moment. I miss the Netherlands, but ever since I moved, The Netherlands has felt different and not really where I belonged because as years went on, my town has changed so much. My friends were changing churches while I was here in Austria and some stores were changed. I can't really imagine my self living in the netherlands for secondary school. Anyways, that was more than one memory, that was me sharing my time in the Netherlands and moving. I think, if anyone is going throuh a time of moving, that it is the right choice, cause in a couple of years you'll have looked back and realized how much has changed without you.

Day 12 of the February daily challenge

Today's topic is: What music can do to your brain!?

Remember to let me know what kind of topics you would like me to write about. You can comment below ideas or you can tell me on social media, you can follow me on twitter: @CreativeGanger, or on google plus: +Creative Ganger, or on tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday. So let's begin...

What are some styles of music that keep you relaxed and what are some facts you may not have heard of?

Well actually many people have their own relaxing music, some might say heavy metal is relaxing and some might say country music is relaxing and some might even say classical is relaxing, it all depends on you and your personality. But let's get into facts that you may not know...

1) Listening to sad music provokes more nostalgia than sadness.

People in the study reported that sad music brought up a wide range of complex and partially positive emotions, such as nostalgia, peacefulness, tenderness, transcendence and wonder.

2) Repetitive choruses are the key to a hit song.

Basically less complicated transitions and more repition is the key to becoming a hit song. Though their is a limit to repition which some songs are harmed, instead of making it a good song.

3) The “mere exposure effect” makes us like certain music just because we hear it a lot.

Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, director of the music cognition lab at the University of Arkansas, explains why repetition makes us like music: “People seem to misattribute their increased perceptual fluency – their improved ability to process the triangle or the picture or the melody – not to the prior experience, but to some quality of the object itself.”

4) We mishear lyrics because of the powerful role expectations play in our hearing.

This happens because the meaning we create from songs doesn’t come entirely from what we hear. Of course their is a difference between watching a music video and listing just to the music. It makes a different mental picture.

5) People get chills listening to all different sorts of music.

People more openness to experience of a song are more likely feel a chill. Whatever that music is, you’re likely to get the occasional shiver down your spine.

6) Songs that get stuck in your head are called “earworms”.

Day 11of the February Challenge

Hiding from God?

Before we get on to the topic. Please let me know what you are interested i00n reading? What do you want me to write about? You can comment below or you can let me know on social media and if you want to follow me on Twitter: @CreativeGanger, my google plus: +Creative Ganger, or on tumblr: learnnewthingseveryday.

Can you really run away from God? Why does God sometimes ask questions if he is omniscient? Can we really stop running from God? 

There are stories in the Bible where people have ran from God thinking God won't know where they hide, but God makes it clear he always knows where they are. There are people now a days running from God. I think Most people don't realize that they are running away, and I think some know they are running away. There is a story in the Bible that may seem controversial and makes you wonder if God really is omniscient or not. Today we will find out why he asks us questions. 

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

Why did God need to call out and say 'Where are you?' Is it because he didn't know? No, it was because God was putting himself lower to a point of asking a question, and actually this was the second question God asked. God asked Satan a question before. The thing is that Satan wanted to challenge God by questioning God, but really God questioned Satan. Ultimately saying that God is more powerful than Satan. But Why does he have to bring himself to a lower level to ask where Adam was? Because it is hard to give an analogy, I'll try to give one as close as possible. It is kind of like when your parents ask you a question, maybe like, "Did you hit your sister?" or "Did you steal from the candy stash?" You parents obviously know that you did it. They just want to implement that what they did was wrong and actually hear the words that the parents used, for example 'steal', 'hit', etc.  God wanted to let Adam think about the question God asked him. As I said before, words are powerful, so when Adam said in verse 10: 

“I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

This actually had Adam think before he answered. I do believe that even if we were Omniscient, we could still ask questions but only if you asked people who weren't omniscient, because there is no point asking a question to someone who is omniscient because they know what your question means and why they asked that. This gets quite confusing so I'll try to make it a bit easier to understand.

Since God is Omnipresent, he knows where you are, so you cannot hide from God. Can we stop trying to run from God? Ultimately yes, but there is always going to be shameful or guilty moments in our lives that we run from God. I would say, if you have an inimate relationship and you are willing to always talk to him, you will not feel the need to run.
