Rose

Many of us know that the rose is known to be the "romantic flower." Indeed it sure does spice up a night or the table at dinner but there is a lot of things about the rose many of us dont know.

Roses originated 35 million years ago. They are know to be a symbol of love, beauty, war, and politics. During the Roman Period roses were used as confetti at celebrations, for medicinal purposes, and as a source of perfume.

During the 15th century, the rose was used for factions fighting to control England. The white rose was to symbolized York, and the red rose was to symbolized Lancaster, and as a result, the conflict was known as the "War of the Roses."

During the 17th century Roses were in such high demand that royalty considered roses or rose water as legal tender, and they were often used as barter and for payments.

Learning An Insturment

I always thought that playing an insturment would be a really fun thing to do, because I compose songs and so I thought that being able to compose music all together would be a really good hobby to pick up. For those of you that play insturments, kudos to you. Learning an insturment is not easy at all, even those that seem quite simple. In fact, learning an insturment takes as much time as it does when you play sports. You have to be willing to pratice everyday and really concentrate, even not on your best days. Even though learning something completly new seems like it would be a lot of work, in the end it turns out to be a very rewarding thing. I thought learning how to play the guitar would be a really fun thing for me to do, because I am very interested in learning new things and something about knowing that you can do something and that you know that it didnt just come easy to you, you actually had to work can be really rewarding beleive it or not. I always know that trying something and failing is always better than not trying at all.

Guitar lessons went pretty well for me, and although I dont have the "musical ear," as some call it, it still showed me that if I really wanted something than I would go out there and I would try my best. I took lessons at a place called Millard Music House, and it was a really good experience for me. Although I did learn that I move very slowly when it comes to playing an insturment. Although, after a few lessons I wanted to quit, I stuck with it. Lessons, just like most things in life, can be a really "bumpy road" for us. But I learned that you just have to push through the hard times, because thats what make the good times seem so great!

Over all, I came out not that bad. Yes, I dont know everything there is to know, but the important part is that I didnt give up, and thats the most important thing about life. Never give up something you love.

Curiosity

Have you ever wondered to yourself how things are made, or where they come from or simply how something got to the place it is now? How about when you are just milling around and you stubble apon something that you can help but ask your-self, what is going on?

We all live in a world of curiosity. Our natural human make made us this way. Thats how we got many of the things that we have today, such as Newton's Laws Of Gravity, and curiosity is why we have the lightbulb. Everyday we learn something new and we discover something. All of this is because of one simple thing, curiosity.
