If I could be anything for 1 day

If I could be anything in the entire world for 1 day I would be a flying squirrel. Now some of you are probably thinking, "What the heck?" So, I will do my best to give you an explanation of why I chose this extraordinary animal.

One of the main reasons I chose the flying squirrel is because it is fluffy. I love fluffy things, and if I was fuzzy it would just make my life that much better. I don't really care what color I would be, as long as I wasn't black, because it is too plain.

Second, I would be able to fly for short periods of time and climb trees all day. Since I am already pretty pro at climbing things, I think I would fit right in with all of the other flying squirrels. Also, falling from high heights would be scary, but definitely adrenaline pumping.

Lastly, the whole reason why I chose this animal is because.................. IT GETS TO SLEEP AAAAAAALLLLLLLLL DAY! If I could sleep for an entire year I would do it. I love sleeping. Plus my fuzzy fur would keep me warm and cozy in the winters. 

So, next time your walking in some foreign country beside some large trees, and you see something fly out of them and land in the next tree. Just think to yourself........... that just might be Brendan Kirby.

Super D Dooper Power

There are millions of super powers to choose from. Flying, invisibility, x- ray vision, shape shifting and many, many more. If you ask me those are all pretty great super powers to have, but there is only one that beats all of those and that is the power to freeze time!

Some of you are probably thinking something like, “WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY!” or, “THAT IS THE WORST POWER YOU COULD CHOSE!” Well, I used to think the exact same thing. I thought it was the most stupid power of all, but then I thought about it and came up with many reasons why it really is the best.

First, if you were ever in a tough situation where you didn't know what to do or had to think really fast, you could just pause the world instantly. Then as soon as you came up with the answer you could just quickly un- pause the world and say the answer. 

Second, if you were really angry at someone (if you are a teacher then you should just skip this paragraph) you could just pause the world and give them a good smacking. When you un- paused the world they would have no idea what just hit them. Also, if you were being attacked by someone, or another villain, you could just pause the world, hurt them and put them in a choke hold, and as soon as it came back to reality the villain would be done with. These are just two of the many, many reasons why the power to freeze time is the best.

If you still are not convinced........... then you have issues, because I thought long and hard about some amazing reasons and I think the power is super D dooper AWESOME.

Did You Know?

In 2006 there were 2.7 billion searches every month, and now there are 31 billion searches every month. That is a 1200% increase! Now that may seem like a pretty big number, but not many people understand how many 1 billion is. One billion seconds ago it was 1960. One billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. One billion days ago there were no humans walking on two legs on the entire planet!

Technology is growing at a extensive rate. Now this is not a bad thing at all, but are we putting it to good use? If we can make a computer by 2013 that has the same capabilities as the human brain, and NTT Japan can make a fiber optic cable that can push 14 trillion bits per second then we for sure can put the money and technology towards something more useful. We need to start learning to learn how to use the technology and put it to better use. 

The biggest question is how do we use the technology to help problems in the world? Well, that's why I said earlier we need to learn to learn how to use the technology better. We are slowly beginning to understand some things and put them to better use. For example african farmers now have cell phones and use them to find the best prices for their crops. They will now have the money to make more and more crops. Another example is if one of your family members is sick, in one click of a button you can figure out what sickness their suffering from and how to cure it. 

If technology keeps growing at this insane rate, we will never catch up to it if we do not learn how to properly use it. This is my opinion on this
