Being an atheist, I do not feel the need to reach out to a higher power in the world. I do not consider myself spiritual and I do not believe in an unseen force that I need to connect with. I do, however, believe that all of the world is connected in that we impact each other with everything we do and that we are all fundamentally pieces of the same whole. I enjoy hiking and camping in the mountains not because I feel the need to connect to nature but because I feel the need to connect to myself better.

In my local community I would like to assume the role of a community organizer to champion the issue of voter reform. I believe that change happens through the people and so I would like to work to influence the people to bring about real change. I would like to see the re-drawing of districts to change elections done away with and I would like to see adjustments in the way that the electoral college vote works in each state. Rather than each state using all of its vote for the president that the majority chooses, I would like to see votes given proportionally to percentage that voted for each candidate.

With the rise in sports memorabilia during the last decade, companies have been taking advantage of pet owner’s infatuation with dressing their cats and dogs. An example of this is the personalized MLB dog jerseys widely available online, mostly for dogs of smaller sizes. Available from most of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball, these jerseys are sold by specialty websites that cater towards apparel for pets. It appears as though the only exception in terms of consistent sales comes from the Toronto Blue Jays, the only MLB team in Canada. However, there are places where a fan of that team can indeed purchase a jersey for his or her dog.

As a child I could never pass up the chance to play a game of “Catch the Flag.” If a game hadn’t been readily assembled I would spend hours scouring the neighborhood for kids to play with me. The rules were loose and changed from day to day, but it always included a wide section of the neighborhood and two flags. We would spend hours, usually at night, running through yards and over fences to capture the other teams’ flag. I loved it because it was active and lively. Adrenaline coursed through our bodies and winning required cunning, strategy and physical fitness. It is a game I would play today given the chance.
