The most beautiful word in english

 The most beautiful word for me is Sycamore. Before you go on, just say it out loud a couple of times. I swear, I heard this in a song before, there are so many songs that have the word sycamore in it. The word is very catchy. The unique syllables make it stand out among other words. Every now and then, oldies music would be playing somewhere, even in someone's car.  I would find myself sitting back just listening. From depressing love songs to songs about asking for help from the Beatles. I heard it all. This shaped my taste for music, some honestly I didn't care at all. Even today’s music is awful but the concept of rhyming words and the flow of on and off beats really “hit home” for me. The meaning of the song could sometimes be weird or none at all. Some exceptions are linked below and all had the word Sycamore in it. This word resonates with me as it rhymes and flows with other words in a unique way. As English isn’t naturally as beautiful sounding as some languages, like for instance others dubbed Spanish as a very romantic language. I've heard people say that it could be hard to find distinct words to speak English.  Sycamore can be said fast and slow and still sounds great. It adds a different depth of tone to the song, a poem or a story in a book, like the Bible.  Even if it's just a tree, there is more to it.  Sycamore was the tree that Zacchaeus climbed on to see Jesus in Luke 19:4. This word is used in so many artistic approach, fictional and non fictional.  The syllables are distinct and when combined, provides a sense of wholeness and enthusiasm.  When read or heard, this word gives off a curiosity yet peaceful vibe.

You know what really grinds my Gears? Pt2

 Ok for most of y’all reading this, this doesn’t apply to you. However it will. Filing income taxes is a pain to do. Sometimes corporations will file them for you if you get lucky. But a majority of Americans have to file it themselves. First you print off the 1040 and grab the numbers from your W-2 and do the rest from there. However if you want to get a tax refund you have to report expenses relating to healthcare or tax deductible donations and a bunch of other things. After finishing the taxes your brain would probably be fried because of how complicated it is. The math isn’t though, but putting the right value on the right lines is straight up cancer. It’s like the IRS exists just to make taxes more complicated. Oh yeah and if you mess up you could get an audit, fined, even worse jail time. The real is reason is why? Well it’s all about money. Most countries have a system called “Return Free Filing” in which the government sends you the tax bill and you check it to see if it was d

Milkman's thoughts

Inside Milkman’s Thoughts Note: Temporarily moving away from modernism and looking through a different lens.  I was one of high class and with extensive wealth. When I saw the seven days, I took no pity on them, but rather judged them based on their attitudes and on how they took on others and blame but themselves for their disadvantages. I saw them as losers, failures and scum, going around harming others, mainly due to themselves being hurt by the same society. They have a mentality of entitlement, that this society owes them, due to what they’ve been through.   Guitar is a man who never made his dream of playing a guitar.   Porter, is the town drunk (pretty self-explanatory). With nowhere else to go, no one to call friends, made a group to mainly rebel against the dominating force, the white people. I had plenty to do and people to enjoy. I really didn’t care about the whites injustice towards members of my own community. I viewed Guitar as a radicali

Ways to Remember

How History and People are Remembered There are countless means that people can keep the memory of others alive.  It is usually through tangible ways like writing, photographs, songs, plaques, building and more. Key events in history are relived in many books, movies and memorials.  We don't really pay attention or concern on how people are remembered, even when we come across an article, see or hear about a notable person from the past.  In class, I realized that besides memorials,  there are numerous ways to remember what is significant. As the world changed and evolved, so has how we remember the past. With modern technology, artists, architects, and writers have developed more abstract and more open ended avenues in doing so through tv, movie, and social media. Books  In class we learned about how the book The Things They Carried reflects the experience that the soldiers in the Vietnam war faced. The odd nonlinear structure of the book manifests the issues and the
