If you have happened to stumble upon this blog, please take immediate caution. This is what we call a "SMRT BLOG" This is supposed to be a articulative, though provoking type of thing where we can talk about SMRT things!
So, if this does not tickle your fancy, then your welcome to check out my other blogs!
So let's get started.
Today, because this is my first blog, I want to talk about the significance of firsts. Let's start with this. Do you know the name of the first president? (If you don't live in America, maybe, who was your first leader?) George Washington, right? You knew that right away. Why? Because "first" means a lot more than you think it does.
Speaking of American history, we, as Americans, were the first to claim our independence from the British. Or the first one to write the Declaration of Independence. Our AWESOME social studies teacher Mr. J, was telling us that so many documents after the Declaration of Independence use our famous statements to model their stuff.
It's this idea that first is the only one that matters. People don't even stop to think if that first move was right. Us, as people, just believe that the first is the trump all thing. And that's why we have OCD people in this world to double check.
Whether it's something as little as someone saying "FIRST!" on YouTube comments, or the first pioneer to discover America, or the rest of it. It's not the action, as it is the thought of someone being the first person to accomplish something. Or the first person to stand up, break the barriers and do something different. Doing something no one has ever thought, or done before. It's that little idea that drives me a little crazy.
Now, that "breaking the barrier" stuff doesn't have much to do with YouTube comments, but I'm just saying. Just saying.
I guess this wasn't as long as I expected it to be, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway! Remember, you can always find an archive for ALL of these blogs under "All of the Stuff" over in the right! The next SMRT BLOG will be Tuesday, January 24th, 2012.
Stay SMRT,
Rachael The Ginger
