#2 Why we are amused at the misfortunes of others.

In my opinion, I feel the reason we laugh at things like America's Funniest Home Videos is because we are brought up to laugh at these things. Naturally we watch a show called FUNNIEST home videos we are set to laugh. For instance lets say they have a video featuring a child learning to play base ball but instead the child hits the parent, and everyone laughs. But put the same clip in a show about injuries and instead of laughing you may feel sympathetic for the parent. Also the after shock of the clip is not their like in movies like Jackass. They perform these stunts and seem to get away without a scratch but many of the characters in this movie had broken bones that they don't show. The background music also effects the clip. America's funniest home videos only plays clown music that you only here at a circus. If they were to play a slow violin the video may not seem so funny. In conclusion I find the setting of where these events take place affect whether you laugh or not.

#1 The Way I Am

For those who don't know, I'm Ali Hamam the Lebanese guy born and raised in Canada. I spend most of my time sleeping going on about thinking the day is too short. When I'm not sleeping you can find me very active as I play many sports. Outside of school its mainly ice/road hockey, and the occasional soccer game, but in school its completely rugby. I switched to rugby since our school soccer team keeps giving up. After hours I usually go out to a movie or kick back and play a game of pool. This year is probably the first year I may actually make honor roll because I've decided to try. Other than that I'm a pretty ordinary guy. Now you know.

#4 Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates, You Never Know What You're Gonna Get

The world is filled with billions of people and everyone has the ability to make choices. This ability is what differs every ones personality. It also can influence how are lives will be molded. Even with these choices there is something else that enters the equation. Fate/Destiny are the predetermined and unavoidable events that are to come. I believe this is true and our lives are set ahead of time based on choices you are to make. For instance lets say John's destiny is to be a successful business man worth millions and then lose it in a year. I believe no matter what John does this will happen, since John is not aware of it. This is in away dramatic irony for god to watch. I believe that god has a plan for every one and though we have choices, in the end, everything will fall into place.
