“LOST”
Jordan Weaver
Journal # 29
In the Hit TV show “Lost” they are stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere, and are struggling to make it through each day. They are running short on, food, medical supplies, and the biggest one, patience with each other. To answer Romanowski’s question of “ what are the keys to success and happiness”, I would have to say health, safety, and the ability to get along with each other. They are stuck on the island, and nobody knows what is really going on. They think they are alone, and then they find others, they think that Locke is trying to find food for them, and then they find out he has a secret project going on. They all want to know what each other are doing, and they don’t want to be let out on what is going on. The suffer with health, having scarcity of food, fearing of predators attacking during the night, and not knowing when the other people from the plane are going to turn their back on them.
When anybody from their group does some thing stupid, or does something a way that other people don’t like it, they definitely know it. People on the island are not afraid to show their feeling of hatred towards each other, but would never think of saying something good to someone else. When someone does something wrong, they are harassed and tormented by the other, which ever side has the biggest group will always win the argument, no matter who is actually right. Though out the whole season, everybody takes a fall for doing at least one thing wrong. They take their turns, and everybody gets blamed. I is almost like they are excommunicated from the group when they are the one that did something bad.
My thanksgiving
During this past weekend (thanksgiving break) I went to a show at a place called Skelletones downtown. I listen to music and had good tie with my friends. I got to hang out with them a lot over the weekend, and I realized how much I missed them, and how much friends are actually worth. I have hung out with this group of guys since JR. year, and we probably saw more of each other then we did of our families, not that our families were bad, because they weren’t, but because we always had such a good time, and we never fought, we could always get along. We always did the dumbest stuff that nobody else would think was fun, but we could never stop laughing. After the summer was done, our foreign exchange student friends had to go back, and everybody had to go to college, they all went to grand valley and I had to go to Calvin because it was the only place I got accepted, and It was a really good time this weekend to be able to hang out with them again and just sit in the barn like we always used to do, and reminisce about all the good times we had back in high school. It reminded me of what a good life I have, and what awesome people God has put in my life. It reminded me that I should be thankful for everything God has given to me and I should cherish it because I never know when it could be gone. I need to live my life pleasing God’s will, and having a good time. You never know, something that you have loved your whole life could be gone in a flash, and wouldn’t even be able to see it coming. I guess it was a true thanksgiving After all.
