Wondering


When we were very young kids, we wondered about almost everything. We wondered about shadows, ants, reptiles, dirt, everything!  But now, we take things for granted.  We have found out what it all means and it doesn’t interest us anymore.  Some may still be thinking about all this stuff, but it stops interesting most people after they grow up.  Example:
“Daddy?  What makes the lake blue?”
“The water has a skin.  Light comes in waves and they’re all different.  Red is the longest wavelength and Violet is the shortest.  The skin on the water lets out all of the wavelengths but blue.  That’s the one that you can see.”
“Daddy? Why does the computer screen glow?”
Sigh… “Look it up!”
“Daddy, Daddy!  Why do we experience pain?”
“To make small children ask questions.”
“Daddy?  Why does Mommy color her hair?”
“…”
You get the idea.  And after a looooooong time of waiting… we finally find (most of) our questions answered!  Why do we stop wondering?  Perhaps we think that after that, we know it all.  Or, perhaps we don’t quite stop wondering!
I like water.  I want to know everything about it.  I want to know why it refreshes us.  I want to know why some animals can only live in salt water.  I want to know why I keep wondering about water.  But that’s the only thing that I wonder about right now.
I used to wonder why sunshine was bright.  I wanted to know about shadows.  I wanted to know about hair color.  I wanted to know about mirrors. (I still haven’t found out everything about mirrors yet.)  I wanted to know about everything that I could see.
My older brothers were always patting me on the head (still do now) and telling me things that I didn’t know that they made up and were about 99.9 percent wrong.  Anyway!  Got off-subject there.
Wondering is a beautiful thing.  It’s a big… thing that is living inside of all young children.  It sends their brain going and their mouth asking, and asking, and asking…  But it’s a thing that makes children learn.  It’s a thing that makes them grow and mature.  I remember that I would always think about stuff and wonder but hardly ever question it out loud.  I don’t remember why though.
Well, that’s all!  I’m off to eat myself a breakfast! J

The Most Awesome Show IN THE WORLD!! :D:D


Hello, everyone once more!  I haven't posted lately because I have been a tad busy and not had the chance.  I also didn’t know what to talk about and not bore you TO DEATH!  So I decided that I would write about things that I’m CRAZY interested in!
  • Horses (specifically white, Arabian mares named Talitha Koum (translation: Little Girl Get Up (I got it from the Bible verse Mark 5:41)). (Sorry about all the parentheses but I do things like that when I’m energetic, although it’s 9:12 p.m. as I am writing in this parentheses.) (Wow! I just finished that parenthesis when it became 9:13 p.m.!! :D).  ANYWAY!  I get a bit distracted sometimes.  
  • My rabbit, Hoppers (with an ‘s’.  Some people get it mixed up as ‘Hopper’.  It’s really annoying!).  He’s fat, lazy, and the most adorable, soft bunny-boy ya can imagine! :D :D :D!  I might write a post about him sometime.
  • Water!  Water fascinates me!  Especially Melatonin in water.  If you don’t know what Melatonin is then look it up.
  • And, Portal is awesome and really funny!


And the final one (the one that this post is supposed to be about but I keep getting distracted) (drum roll please…)

Dr. Who.

Dr. Who is the most awesome show of all time.  I would explain it but it would take, like, 100,000,000,000 pages (okay it wouldn’t, but you get the idea).  It’s about a ‘Time Lord’.  Real name: unknown.  What people call him: The Doctor.

My favorite actor who plays the Doctor is David Tennant.  He wanted to play the Doctor since he was a little boy.  It was his dream to be the Doctor.  He was only the Doctor for a year though.  He said that he wanted to keep the being-the-Doctor thing to stay feeling new.

The Doctor can, of course, travel in time as you might have guessed by the name.  He’s got two hearts.  He’s got a time machine that is bigger on the inside than the outside.  It’s called the Tardis.  She (the Tardis) is a living creature.  The Doctor found that out on the very very very first episode of all time of Dr. Who.

He’s from a planet called Gallifrey.  But that planet was destroyed in a time war (long story) along with all the Doctor’s people.  The Tardis is stuck in the shape of a police box.  If ya don’t know what a police box is than look it up ;-).  It was meant to change shape and color and ‘blend into’ the landscape if ya know what I mean, but the Doctor messed the Tardis up and now she can’t change.  The Doctor also (in more modern episodes) disagreed with the manual of the Tardis and threw it into a supernova.

He has a sonic screwdriver that can unscrew bolts from long-range.  It makes a rather high-pitched weeeweeeweeeweeeweeeweeweew.  And one of the more important things is that every time the Doctor come close to dying, he regenerates.  Here’s a picture of him when he’s regenerating into the eleventh doctor (aka. the eleventh time we’ve seen him regenerate).

And here it is!  The rest are just random photos of David
Tennant (the tenth doctor and my favorite actor) :D and Matt Smith (the eleventh
doctor).

Did I mention that the Doctor always wanted to be ginger?

In regeneration, his whole body changes.  At first, all of the cells in his body heal themselves.  Then they change the Doctor into a whole new being.  Every time he changes, he feels like a completely different person.  He says that it’s like dying.

Here’s a Youtube video song about the doctor's regeneration.  It has to do with the time the tenth doctor regenerated.    It’s really sad if you know what it means.  If you want to know what it means then watch the Dr.Who episodes End of Time parts 1-2.  You can find it on Netflix.   Click here to watch.

So, basically Dr. Who is the best show everJ!  I hope that this has… uh… how should I put this?… shown people to a thing that they will most likely enjoy?  lol!  Hope that you all like Dr. Who!  Now I’m off to bed.  (tired face)
