Curiosity can, sometimes, be not a good thing...

Have you ever heard the phase “curiosity killed the cat”? Well it doesn’t kill but it can get you into trouble and it portrays curiosity can lead to change and devastation like in the myths Pandora’s box, a Greek myth, and Orphan boy, and African myth. Zeus gave the box to Pandora because he knew that she wouldn’t be able the resist opening the box because of curiosity. She opened it sometime later, letting all the monsters out, showing devastation but there was hope, showing change. The same thing happened in the Orphan boy myth since it was curiosity who caused the trouble. When Orphan boy left, the old man’s crops failed and his animals died, showing devastation again. Sometimes it’s curiosity who’s the boss not you…

Some Facts about My Name

Sometimes people get mixed up with my name and other names like Martin, Melvin or even Marbin or something like that, but the good thing is that once they know it, they'll remember it since it's kind of easy to pronounce and not hard to memorize cause it really fits me. I am not sure why people had NEVER EVER made fun of my name before cause maybe it's not funny or anything but if they did make fun of it, I might have forgotten it. Mostly everyone has I story behind their name but I don't and I am getting pretty mad...But I do know that my last name means horse in Chinese. When I searched up my name on the Internet, it said that Marvin means; "uncertain, possibly eminent marrow." I have no idea what that means what sometimes, I am uncertain like on the first day or school, my humanities teacher asked me what my name is, I don't know why but couldn't answer for some reason and till this day I still can't figure it out, I said "errr..... Marvin!" Some people laughed. And now, sometimes at school, when my humanities teacher calls me, she adds a short "errr..." before saying my name, Marvin.

I chose the picture above because first of all, it is kind of funny and second because this was the best one I could find.

Creation Myth Paragraph

The Hopi Creation Myth

In the Hopi creation myth, there were two gods, on named Twa (boy) and the other named Kokyanwuhti (girl). The two gods had a lot of work to do so they divided themselves to share the labor, Twa made a copy and Kokyanwuhti made a copy of themselves. Their "clones" married each other and produced a lot of other gods but then Twa and Kokyanwuhti had a great idea. They would make the Earth between the Heaven and the underworld and whatever Twa thought of, Kokyawuhti made from clay, they formed everything on Earth and breath life into some of them. Then they made humans because they needed a creature in their image to look after they creation.

I chose the picture above because in the picture, it shows humans made from clay just like the ones in the myth

The reason for the new title and picture

Don't you think my new title and picture is awesome? Don't you think it's deep and meaningful? Well this post is about why I chose this quote (title) and picture. First of all, I found the quote then I had to find a matching picture it was quite simple really, the quote "When you have completed 95% of your journey, you are only half way there." was from a Japanese proverb quote. I chose this quote because it goes with my favorite sentence "so close yet so far". It is really descriptive and it tells you how your journey never ends in any kind of way. But it might be a bit confusing because 95% is like almost the WHOLE thing but it says "only half way there". Maybe it's saying there are more beyond the journey you are on, more to it.

Look at the picture...
Look at the road and see how long it is? Doesn't it match the quote? Look at the guy with his dog, the guy would be saying "What the? My GPS says the finish line was right here! Where the heck did it go?" and the dog would say "Yeah, Where it go? I have no idea... maybe it is a way of telling us there is more ahead!" and guess what? The dog is right!

Ohhhhhhh YEAH! ;D

I am back! Yeah! Errr... awesome, ummm... OK... For the people who actually reads my posts, I am back and this year in grade 7!!! Which means, I'll start writing posts again and my humanities teacher said we are gonna do a lot with our (my classmates and stuff) blogs! HAHAHAHA!!! I rock, moving on from 6th grade! But that's bad cause I get more homework and my parents force me to do other stuff I can't mention in this post, it's too terrible...but really, 7th grade is all right though. I have been at rest for over 2 months (well, it was spring break and 3 months before the break meaning I haven't wrote for about 5 months :P ), in China, but now I am back in ******** and school started like 4 weeks ago. In china there was nothing to do (so it realllllllllllyyyy sucked) but to learn Chinese which was BORING... but at least I met my family members :P. Anyways, I'm back and ready to write some posts again just like I used too. (not to mention Kevin, he is probably gonna write like 10 posts per month) :P he writes too much but, you'll never know...
