Good Food Review

           In this world, there are a lot of people with a lot of different interests and hobbies. Something that the majority of us can agree on though is the enjoyment of good food. This past week, with the assignment we had and everything, I was able to go to restaurants more than I usually do. I really do like going somewhere new and eating something I’ve never tried before, especially when it turns out to be delicious.
           Well since this is supposed to be a good food review, I’ll review the latest food I had that I thought was well, good. Last night my Mom decided to make some tostadas which are one of my favorite homemade meals. They have just about every single flavor in them with the crunchy shell, spicy chicken, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, and red beans to finish it off. I’ve always loved food that contains a variety of contrasting flavors that come out to an amazing delicious, yummy taste. I’ve never liked dull bland foods that consist of just one thing such as plain pasta or grilled cheese. I don’t mind them, I just don’t prefer them. Overall, good food for me is food that consists of several diverse tangy tastes. Again, this probably comes from the fact that I was raised up being exposed to so many different, out of the ordinary foods.

King Still King

            At first I took this the literal way, thinking of Medieval Times and whatnot. I then realized that Martin Luther King is this upcoming Monday and thought maybe that was the whole intention of this blog. Do I still think that King is King? In a way yes and in a way no. He still known for being one of most, if not the most important civil rights figure. There are very few people in this country who do not know who King is. The truth of the matter though, is King has turned more into a day where we have no school or work because after thirty years, the importance of his actions have not necessarily been forgotten but they just are not remembered in the same way. He is still a hero for his courage and guts to stand up for what he truly believed in, something many attempted. What exactly made him so different from all other activists? He not only had a humongous impact for the advancement of African American civil rights during his life but afterwards as well. He is really someone we could refer to when asking ourselves where our current society and culture would be if it weren’t for him. It’s odd to think that this great movement was around as little as forty years ago. Thanks to people like King though, humanity has been able to greatly advance in so little time.

I'm a Shoe

 
I am a pair of Converse shoes. Why? Well I like to think that I am a fun and relaxed person which is what comes to mind when you think of Converse. Converse shoes are shoes you can wear with t-shirt and jeans when you’re having a lazy day. They are also shoes you can wear with a dress to make it a more casual look. In other words, they are shoes that can go with essentially all your wardrobe. The versatility and flexibility of this shoe is what I can relate to because I don’t think I am rigid and inflexible.  I can be completely dressy and girly one moment and the next moment I can be lazy and casual.
            Converse are also classic shoes, they have been around since 1908. The reason why is simple: they are timeless shoes that can fit into any type of event. There Converse for every type of person, the more laidback pastel color lover to the more outgoing neon person. Converse don’t discriminate with age, everyone from infants to senior citizens wear them. This careless aura that the shoe gives is something I would also like to relate myself with. The fact that I love Converse and would wear them everyday makes them even better. Overall, Converse are pretty much the best.
