Pope Joan

-

 From 855 AD to 858, there was a Pope who was a WOMAN. Crazy right? Historians say that Pope Joan is a myth, which I mean sure it could be, but also could be true. After the death of her brother, she disguises herself as a man and enters a monastery as "Brother John Anglicus". She (or he..I do not know) became very educated and became a scholar. Because of her superior intelligence, she was elected Pope VIII in 855. She managed to hide her true identity for 3 years until while doing a papal procession ( Papal Procession: A formal ceremonial parade involving the Pope and various clergy, often including cardinals, bishops, and other officials, as well as acolytes, guards, and musicians.) she went into labor. Now, her death was between two things, she died during birth or after she gave birth she was stoned to death after people found out her true identity. So you may be asking what happened to her baby. Well, it's between 3 things. The child was dragged from a horse along with Joan then was stoned, the child survived and became Bishop Of Ostia, and the child died during the birth.

There is a lack of evidence to support the existence of Pope Joan, so this may be just a story created for entertainment. I do not know. A lot of people have made movies about this myth, such as Pope Joan (1972), Pope Joan (Die Papstin), and some other foreign movies, including Joan the Pope. Anyways, how cool was that story? It taught me to take risks even if it means becoming a man. At least I would get to be Pope. Anyway besides jokes, if it is a true story I hope we find more evidence and information about it because it's super intriguing.

And you know, since Pope Joan had "superior intelligence" what if she built an alien coffin that keeps her body alive, and she stays locked away somewhere and the person we suspect was Joan who gave birth and died, is a clone she made. And when the time is right she will be back and trick everyone again. I do not know, just a thought. Anyways, Ciao, Tschuss, and Adios.

R.I.P Carl

  After laboring away all day, George finally sits down on the comfortable sofa undisturbed. He fell into deep sleep for about like ... what? 4-5 hours? When he gets a phone call. He tosses and turns. Maybe it's just a mockingbird he is hearing. He realizes it's the electronic communicator and finally picks it up. "Hey George, it's Carlghhh," the person says on the other line. George wanted to bang his head against the wall hearing this aggravating, german accent. "Hey Carl, it's 3:34 in the morning. can I help you?" He says into the phone. "Gorghh, I want to kill mein self..hilf mir" Carl says. George is exhausted. All he wants to do is just tell Carl to f#ck off, but because of his kind heart, he listens in.   Now .. this interaction goes on for days around the same time. It's always Carl calling George, telling him he was going to kill himself. George prayed every night, that tonight would be the night he would get sleep, and tha...

The Sad Age Of Music

    The impact of music is now less effective than it used to be. Today, "Creative" music artists are often just rappers using downloaded beats from YouTube. Where are all the artists who dip deep into their feelings to add to their lyrics and the riffs and chords of their music? It's the same beat, same voice, same everything! Now, you may be saying "Hey P.Public! There are artists out there who are creative and passionate" Yes there are, but I am talking about the ones who get all the attention . The mainstream stuff. Yes, I talked about the Hip Hop part of music , now let me bring in Pop. As we all know, today we have Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift. No hate to them, but dude, I swear the songs they make I have heard from similar artists. How much do those artists make? Ms. Swift's net worth is equal to 1.6 million and Ms. Carpenters is equal to 12 million. So you're telling me that the artists who did not start a musical revolution, s...

War, Flee, America

  At a young age, Lila and Ilyas had to flee from Afghanistan during the Soviet Invasion. The Soviets invaded to prevent the rise of Islam. They feared it would spread to their Central Asian republics and they invaded to prop up the communist government. Anyways, it was Ilyas, Lila, and their uneducated mother, blind father, and four siblings. Preliminary to leaving, their Uncle Madani, a writer and philosopher was tortured and executed by the communists. During that time, a lot of politicians, teachers, and anyone on a high pedestal were tortured and assassinated in view of the fact that they could be seen as possible harm to the invaders. Any relatives of Madani would be executed as well, so their family hired a human smuggler to smuggle them from Herat, Afghanistan to Mashhad, Iran. Groups of people, usually families, walked on the dry, barren landscape, surrounded by the stark brown mountains that would soon lead them to a land free of war and chaos, or so they thought. All of ...
