Are you a horseradish, or a jalapeno?

The horseradish, a small ambiguous plant in the food industry, holds only surprise and astonishment to it's new candidates. Horseradish is an acquired taste, sweet and deceptively calm until it's true colors are revealed. A burning hot fiery spiciness that refuses to leave, and masks everything else in it's wake.
A jalapeno on the other hand, tells your tongue how hot it is.. immediately after you bite into it. You don't have to wait to find out, you know as soon as you taste it.  With horseradish, you don't know until it's too late that you should have taken a smaller bite. No choice now!
With Jalapeno, you have the split second choice of spitting it out - no questions asked, you know how hot it is.

In life, which do you prefer? A person who has multiple masks, or a person who doesn't own a mask at all?
Sometimes culture will be the winner of the day, as well as  peer pressure, and they can create innumerable masks for the people held underneath them. And underneath cultural masks, we have personal individualized masks that a person will create of his or her own will.
At the end of the day, I will always pick jalapeno over horseradish, my intuitive skills are terrible xD

Hydrolysis Reaction

    I know that many believe that the majority of the atmosphere's oxygen comes from plants. I do not deny that plants make oxygen, but I do question whether they make enough to keep the world alive.      I want to make a very blazing point across the page! Plants making enough oxygen for the whole world is just ONE of MANY THEORIES!!!! It's not a proven fact...           The only thing proven is that plants make oxygen... but in turn they also use oxygen.       I am going to quickly analyze how plants make oxygen.    Plants are able to synthesize food directly from carbon dioxide,water, and using energy from light. In certain plants  (algae and cyanobacteria) photosynthesis releases oxygen. This is called oxygenic photosynthesis.   There is only one problem.... Plants create equal amounts of oxygen and co2!! But if we look at the percentage of co2 and oxygen in the atmosphere, there is actually less co2 then there is oxygen!!! That means that plants cannot produce

A look into life

Sometimes, there is an emptiness, one simply cannot fill. You try to fill your cup, but there's a leak in the bottom, and all your hard work drips onto the floor. Finding a way to fix the leak, to fill the emptiness can be a very long process for some. Finding the strength to move on, and determination to find and fulfill you dreams can be challenging. Being estranged or outcast, can lead to loneliness.   But finding good friends, reliable, trustworthy friends, that inspire and keep you going can help patch things up. Your reasons for doing and living can be renewed and looked at in a different light. Yeah, life is like a freight train you get smashed by, you can't stop a train, but you can figure out a way to avoid getting flattened.   When opportunities are given, and doors are slightly opened, pull all of them open and see what could lie ahead for you. You don't have to do only one thing, you can do many. Do many things, and be many things.  If there's a will, there

Impromptu story writing

I am sure that a few readers are aware of Toastmasters, people who read part of a story, and make up the rest, spinning a story as they go in front of a group of people with no paper, just sheer words from the brain. It can be a very impressive and amusing performance.       There is another specie of this particular task, known as impromptu story writing, where one takes a single word, phrase, picture or beginning and  writes and finishes it under a time limit.It can be rather grueling depending on the subject or the object of the story.       I have decided to try some impromptu creative writing late at night. I have concluded that the quickest way to come up with some subjects I must add is to start with the season. Here are the subjects that I must base my story off of or at least add.               New Years, Santa Claus, and Christmas tree. Bingo! Now I know a few may not trust my word to staying under the time limit, but I simply find it a waste of good film to videotape myse
