Does Patriotism Matter?

     

Does Patriotism Still Matter?

Patriotism Matters. Patriotism matters when you want a job.  Patriotism matters since it resembles the lives lost in war for us to be free.  The great citizens of our nation are why patriotism matters.  Patriotism is being a good citizen and doing the little thing to help.  Being a patriot is an honor and a privilege since people gave up there life for me, my family, my town, and the USA.

When I asked my two grandpas  how there army and navy experiences were they said astonishing how hard it was just to get through a day of training, way harder than they thought it would be.  They were stressed everyday not being able to see their family, but in the end they said it was worth it because when they came back all the "Thank you for your hard work" they got from people who they didn’t know was what they worked their butts off for.  That is why patriotism matters.  Freedom of speech is what makes our country a better place and that is patriotism. But being a patriot would not be possible if the 5 million people who have ever been in the armed forces which include the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and lastly the Coast Guard don't do what they have and will keep doing.  That is why whenever I see a veteran I say thank you for all you have done.  That is what many other people and me do to show that patriotism matters and should keep being an importance to the people of our nation. Patriotism matters since armed forces members put their heart, soul, sweat, love, and tears into our country.  So patriotism does matter and we should love our country since on the other side of the world quite possibly nobody has the rights we have. We should always say “Thank You” when you see a veteran or a current armed forces member.

Being a patriot can be to being in the wars to donating a dollar to a charitable cause.  It could also be going to the party with drinks tomorrow night or going to the party without drinks.  Patriotism matters in making good decisions.  That it what patriotism is all about.  Since I went to the party without drinks, I had fun and I made my town a better place, but it wasn't just me.  Even though some people went to the party with drinks me and my 10 to 15 friends went to the party without drinks.  We had a great time and those people who were at the other party got in trouble for underage drinking. Patriotism Matters.

The Brewers 2010

          The brewers stink. The Milwaukee brewers have stunk in the year of 2010  with a record of 77-85. Fourteen games out of the lead for the National League Central Division. That is not what us brewers fans had in mind. Then again we didn't expect the Cincinnati Reds to play the way they did. Well maybe some of us had thought it would be this horrific pitching staff led by Yovani Gallardo.
          We need some pitching, good pitching other than Yovani they all stink while our bullpen has been OK but that’s not the problem the problem is getting through the sixth inning with our starter which has been the main cause of a lot of the brewers losses this season that and mental mistakes.  Since we were not able to get through the sixth the bullpen had to work overtime, but they bared down and had a pretty good season. Oh and what a season Manny Parra had a pathetic season where he has gone 3 and 10 with a 5.02 era. The only good things for me that happened this season was Chris Capuanos return after two Tommy John Surgery's and Trevor Hoffman got his 600th save.  What mental toughness those guys have.  Hats off to them.  Trevor Hoffman is a blue collar athlete since he goes to work every day, works hard, and this year he had a chip on his shoulder when he lost his role as the closer early in the season.  He deserved to get to 600.  Chris Capuano convinced me this season that he is a good bullpen pitcher and maybe a number 5 pitcher, but the problem was he never got his chance to be a starter.  He never got his chance since Ken Macha doesn't know how to coach baseball.  The only reason he was good as a coach for the Oakland Athletics was because they already had a dominant pitching staff.  I will bet all brewers fans are happy they fired Ken Macha.  Chris proved to me this season the most he is a fighter.  To get through what he did was a miracle, but it wasn't a miracle since miracles happen with a lot of luck. He  worked hard every day to get back to where he was before he was injured.  He might not ever be where he was but I know for a fact that he is and will keep working his but off to get better.
          I think that this year our bats were not that bad, they were just very inconsistent. I believe that we need to trade Prince Fielder now while we have a chance to get something, maybe a good pitcher for him.  Prince will problably go to a team with a lot of money and win a lot of championchips.  The new york yankees will likely snatch him up.
          The pitching staff for the brewers in the year of 2010 was almost excruciating pain to watch them.  All i hope for next season is that they improve by taking second place in the division at least and maybe making the playoffs, but thats back on the miracle side of things

Milwaukee Bucks 2010-2011

          Are you eager for the 2010-2011 Bucks season? I know I am since they went to the playoffs last season with a thrilling ending to what at first seemed to be a rebuilding season. Don't get your hopes to high though cause we still have those heat in the eastern conference. All I am trying to say is don't get your hopes to high but expect a 50 win season because there is no more going down everything is going up except in the loss category.
          The Milwaukee Bucks are headed in the right direction as they went to the playoffs and took the 4 seed Hawks to 7 games. I think last year proved to all fans that Micheal Redd is a ball hog who at times makes the team worse.  That is not what matters though what matters is the now.  Now we have a star in Brandon Jennings the tenth overall pick from a year ago.  We beat the bulls in the first game of the preseason.  The score being 92 to 83.  Next on the schedule was the pistons.  The bucks went to Detroit and lost by five, but they showed me that they got over the loss since they went to the Rusch center, a neutral site and beat the bobcats by 8.  Next on the schedule is the Washington wizards. i am interested to see how the two young guards play.  them being Brandon Jennings of the bucks and john wall the number one overall pick from the wizards.
          This season the bucks have 10 games that will be nationally televised.  One thing that makes me mad is the fact that the bucks aren't televising any preseason games.  The only televised game is October 15th against the wizards on NBA TV, which isn't even on normal.  I think that our preseason games should be televised locally since us fans want to see them and some brief glimpses of the rookies this season.  Them being Tiny Gallon out of the university of Oklahoma, Darington Hobson of the University of New Mexico, Chris Kramer from the University of Purdue, and Larry Sanders from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). These rookies should make big strides this year since they have the veterans to show them the ropes. this year us bucks fans will expect great things from Brandon Jennings Milwaukee's young star. Only in his second year now the bucks are already a better team than two years ago.  Last year Brandon averaged 15.5 points per game.  That was good enough for third in the team and that was also good for twenty-second in the league.  Though likely his main statistic was his 5.7 assists per game.  That shows that he gets his teammates involved in the game.
          Even though the bucks had a good season last year that doesn't mean that they will have a good season this year cause I love the bucks but they need to prove to me that they can be good for a long time.  One year is not what we want.  We want a long dynasty like the Bulls were in the ninety's.  Us bucks fans should expect the bucks to go to the playoffs and maybe the second round this year.  All I want to see out of the bucks this year is improvement since if they improve enough they might have a slim chance to beat the Heat and I would like to see them do that.

Response To "A Clean Well lighted Place"

Old and young people are very different. For instance, old people are slower, crabbier, and sometimes need help to do the simple things in life.  On the other hand young people aren’t quite as mature so they don’t have as much sympathy for old people.  The short story “A Clean Well Lighted Place” by Ernest Hemmingway shows how young people and old people are different.

             Young people and old people are different in many aspects of life.  One of those aspects may be that old people are more prepared than young people probably since they are more experienced. Since they are older they may have been in the same position as a kid so they know how to change what they did wrong the first time.  Also young people are not as knowledgeable since they think they know everything. Just like the young waiter in the story, he thinks he can do whatever he wants. Old people on the other hand are a whole other story. They are well organized unlike some young people who are still learning the skill of organization. 
            Normally wealthy people are rich and think they shouldn't talk to poor people ,but they are missing the whole point of wealth.  In the story the old man was not wealthy, he may have been wealthy in the bank but that is not wealth.  Wealth is having good friends who will help you when you need it or a great family.  The old man has none of that.  The young waiter thought money was everything but that is becasue he does not understand that yet.  He should not assess people for that though.  In the story the old man walked with dignity.  Walking with dignity is a sign that you have pride.Then in the story the young waiter was wondering why the old man thought about suicide when he had plenty of money.  Just because you have may have no or little friends you still should not think about suicide.  life is a gift from God and he gave us that gift for us to use not to give away.  The old man should be thinking about living life to the fullest.  The young waiter in the story resembles what not to be as a young adult since he was inconsiderate that the old man may have been happy to just be alive.  Also since he did not understand that money isnt the most important thing in everyones existinence in this world.

              Young people and old people have many differences which are clearly stated in this shory story.  Perhaps a similarity may be that the two older men are both poor, lonely old men. Another similarity is that the old waiter understands the old man’s loneliness since he is lonely. A difference is that the young waiter has no sympathy for old people in this story since he does not relate or understand them. He doesn’t understand them since he hasn’t been through what they have been through.  The young waiter especailly doesn't understand the old man since the old man doesn't have very much money and the young waiter feels that money is everything in life so if you don't have money you shall not live. If the old man wanted to commit suicide he would have but he didn’t and he is alive so it doesn’t matter anymore.  In the story the old man may be what Hemingway thought of himself to be when he was in his sixty’s, even though the old man wasn’t suicidal, Hemingway was. Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 and died on July 2, 1961 due to being suicidal.

              People of all ages are unique and different in special ways and if someone cant realize that, that is there problem.  Those differences are clearly shown in the famous story “A Clean Well Lighted Place” by well known writer Earnest Hemmingway.  People dont realize that money isn’t everything.  Also everyone should do there best at whatever they do because God gave us all the gift of life and we should never waste that.
