Where do babies come from?

Ashley would like to know where babies come from.  Now for how many strange stories out there that cover this whole event I would rather look at, Why do people have Babies?  Why do people have babies, first it was survival of the species, then it was for continuing the family tree aka an airier to the thrown, next we had child labor on the farms, along side with the expectation that people didn't expect their off spring to survive.  So here we are now in the 2001 century and we are over populated with children starving, with out homes, without families, and we still feel the need to have children.  Now there is the under educated popping out kids like birth control hadn't been invented and the educated class has stopped breading.

But really lets go back to the question at hand, why do people have babies?

Personally I think it is the most selfish thing to do.  What you have a child, in hopes that is has your genetic make up, the good stuff, not the heart decease, or dyslexia, or that things we wish we didn't inherit from out parents, just the good stuff.  So we want these children with perfect genetic make-ups.  Then we want these children to do better and have more then we did.  So even before this child is born you've put unrealistic expectations on them.  Lets not mention the fact that you are going to push your dreams on this child, the dreams that you were to afraid to accomplish, or just not talented enough or smart enough.  But you think with the right education, the right encouragement, starting them on tap lessons early enough, they will making it, they will have their dreams come true.  Dreams they don't even know they are to have because they aren't born yet.

So people have babies to make their dreams come true?  And no having the baby isn't the dream.

The amazing fact is that they forget their parents had the same idea in mind, and after the baby grows out of there childhood and realizes that they didn't really want to grow up and they had it good durning sand box time, spiting their parents for taking their childhood about to pursue interest they never wanted, and then finding themselves with no idea what they want to do for a living, wondering why all they want to do is watch tv and smoke pot, and here they are in their mid twenties with their parents so disappointed in them, wondering if they want to have a family?

So why do we have babies, why not just stop this evil cycle right here, stop the torture, because you never asked to be born.  So their you have it, children are a selfish action on the part of the parents, any questions?

Sound

So I just saw a performance of Don Carlos, it was wonderful, good acting, great set, costumes work,and then there was the sound.  I'm not saying that the sound wasn't good.  Their were some really amazing moments that the sound created.  But it seems that the current effect ipods are having on our youth is now finding its self intergrated into theatrical performance.  I've been wondering what effect it is going to take on the world when everyone has their own personal sound track going all the time and they aren't listening to one another, or for one another, they are the only one that excised.  What kind of society is this going to produce.  When everyone lives in their own world, are we going to be a society?  

So any how about the sound in the show.  On the other side of these great moments, their was a sound tack, music all over the place, sure to amp up moments, end and start the performance, actually I don't think it was at the end.  But then their was more music, durning scene changes, sound of back ground music, sounds of scene, sound of action when their were no words.  I felt distracted and controlled by all this music, I could take the moment of silent actions to feel the scene, I was immersed in the music.  I'm finding this in a lot of shows here at CMU, it isn't just this show.  Where do you think this is leading theatre? Where do you think this will put the audiences.  I feel like by adding so much, we are taking so much more away!

Higher Edjumacation

So it has become apparent to me after having spent nearly a year here at Carnegie Mellon what a good education cost.  I look around myself at the student body and I think of my undergrad,  I've asses how much my undergraduate education left such big wholes in what I need to know.  And I watch the students at CMU school demand the attention, the education because they are aware of how much they are paying for it, a believe you me, it ain't cheep!  But the notion to me, that it is all about the money to get a good education, makes me upset.  But the interesting aspect of what you get when the student body that is made up of mom and dad's money.  You get a student body that hasn't had to rely on anything but the cash in their wallet, so they don't understand what it is to need, to be left in the dark, to have to rely on people, and only stuck with people like them.  

Some hope for society is all I'd like to see.
