Upon turning everything off I started humming different tunes like Cold, and Colors by Crossfade.

Once the 10 minutes of having everything turned off was over. I picked up my guitar, that had been taunting me in the corner, saying play me, for the past 10 minutes and came up with a new song.

The song was not at all the same kind of music as what I had been humming, but it was like the notes just came to me. The song was more of a slower type then the heavy rock music I usualy listen too.

Travis Pastrana, a god or a mad man?

Do you know who Travis is?

Travis was born on October 9th 1983 in Annapolis Maryland and is the son of Robert and Debbie Pastrana. He started racing dirt bikes at a very young age when his father bought him his first bike at the age of three, for a Christmas gift. They spent that whole rainy Christmas day riding up and down the drive way.

Travis started out racing in the nationals and supercross series and won his first world championship at the age of 14!  Since then he has won two racing championships, the 125cc A.M.A national championship in 2000 and the 125cc East Coast supercross championship in 2001. Although Travis was one of the best and most recognized riders in the sport but his love for freestyling was just too much.

Before 1997 freestyle dirt biking also called FMX was unknown. Travis single handily wrote the book on the sport itself. He has invented more tricks then any other rider in the world; he held the Freestyle world champion from 1997-2008 and landed the first double back flip ever done on a motorcycle. That’s just amazing!

Unfortunately with this extreme sport comes injury’s. Travis has just about broken every bone in his body. He has had seven knee surgeries, broken his wrists six different times, broken his arms several times and crushed his spine into his pelvis witch almost killed him. On top of this Travis suffers from a weird sleeping condition. Doctors have said that Travis suffers from a disorder called repressed fear. During the day Travis has no fear but during the night he is tormented by his dreams. He constantly wakes up screaming and running around the house.

All these injury’s ended his racing career but he yet still participates in FMX and rally racing winning a gold medal in FMX and best trick competition landing yet another double back flip at this year X-games. His luck was brought short in rally racing when car troubles cost him the gold.

Now a days Travis lives at his 1.5 million dollar home in Davidsonville Maryland. He spends his time learning and perfecting new tricks and finding new ways to cheat death. His newest thrills consist of jumping his bikes into the Grand Canyon and driving his rally car at unbelievable speeds in back roads only a few feet wide dodging trees as he goes on. 

Now you know who Travis is.

Media Mind Control

Can the media control peoples minds? Some would say no and add that people can control their own thoughts but I believe that yes, the media in fact can control our minds. The internet, the radio, newspapers, the news itself, TV shows, TV commercial even schools are all ways that the government or the person in power can control our thoughts through media. Now if we take the point away from the politics and ask ourselves a simple question. For example: Do aliens truly exist? Most would say no but is that because of what you know or what you have been told ?

TV today plays a big role in the way that we think. With the news, TV shows and commercials they can tell us lies to turn the truth into what they want it to be. The government ( or person in power ) can do this to give us fear so they themselves can tell us their opinion which in result controls our thoughts. This is due to the fact that many people uneducated with the real facts believes it. The same can be done with the radio, the internet but most of all, they can control our thoughts and our actions through the way we learn at school. They can change the things we learn and the way that we learn them to enable them to control the way we think about certain opinions that favor them.

Now let’s take a look at a different example of media mind control. Lets ask ourselves, do alien truly exist? Many people say that they have seen spaceships, seen crashes or other phenomenons that are linked to aliens. It seems like every time one of these claims are made, the government is around, hiding, covering things up. The truth about this one subject is being controlled to what they want it to be! They do this easily through media simply because they only release information that they chose. This strategy provides them with the power to control our minds the way they want to. They force us to think what they want without us even knowing.

 

In conclusion the media plays a big role in are decisions. The government controls the way we think, and the way we act through the media without us even knowing or even noticing. So ask yourself next time your at the super market deciding what company of chicken nuggets you should go with. Is the decision really yours to make?
