Air Bubbles

As I look at my heart shaped paper weight, I think to myself how eye-catching it is. It is all glass giving it a smooth feel to it. The color is a very deep rich blue. As I start to examine the paper weight in full and admire its craftsmanship, I notice a single microscopic flaw. In the middle of the paper weight is a single tiny air bubble. As I try admiring the paper weight as I did before, the thought of the small air bubble is in the back of my head just nagging away at my want to appreciate it. Now every time I look at the paper weight I will immediately look right at the air bubble. However even though I am now disappointed with the paper weight I considered flawless, it can serve as a purposeful lesson. Even though the saying "nothings perfect" seems to be very cliché, the air bubble is all the proof in the world I need to defend it. No matter how much someone wants to break up an object or an idea, it will indisputably never be perfect no matter what object is the point of argument. Something so minuet such as the air bubble also seems to be a metaphor of human life in a whole. No matter how quaint and magnificent something may be, humans will eventually also ruin it with air bubbles. It is our nature and is inevitable.

Trinket 1: #5

In your hand you possess the key to what has filled people across the world with question and wonderment. What Einstein has claimed the impossible, is now possible, and to achieve this you don't need a Delorean, but this small heart shaped paperweight. With this you can travel through time itself, into the past or future. To work this amazing device, all you must have is true heart and desire to see a certain period in time. If you do succeed in traveling through time, you may stay there until your heart desires to go back to the original time and place you were when you first left. Although this may be an opportunity so many people would take immediately, there are enormous risks. One of these risks is creating a paradox in which the results could be catastrophic for everything in the universe. For example, if you travel back in time, there is a possibility you may change a series of events that may prevent you from ever being born. However if this did happen and you were never born, then how were you ever able to travel back in time in the first place? Unanswerable questions like these could have dangerous results, or perhaps no affects at all. So would you be careful and consciences, or would your uncertainties be clouded by the will to travel to another time?

Purpose

As I look at this blue heart shaped paper weight I wonder, why someone made this. It being made for the purpose to hold down papers is obvious, but why did they choose to make it a blue heart. Perhaps it’s a metaphor of how the creator of the paper weight felt at the time? When somebody says they feel blue it usually means that they are very sad or gloomy, so maybe the creator was expressing their feelings by making the paper weight a blue, heavy heart? Or the creator may have been thinking of something completely different? Perhaps they were expressing their love for the color blue, or maybe a love for the ocean? Whether it was made for a greater reason or with no explanation at all, it is still interesting to wonder about.  

a Difficult Job

Most people in today’s day in age seem to overlook paper weights. No one has discussions about us and no one thinks we are important; most people don't even use paper weights. It's shocking to me why we are treated in such a terrible way. The difficult tasks we must complete with almost no reward or praise from people. Not only do we have the job of being heavy enough to efficiently hold down important documents and papers, but we also have to present ourselves as an attractive home decoration. And their is so much pressure we are given to do a good job, because people don't  usually hold us near and dear so it isn't very hard for us to be thrown away. The physical toll it takes to keep still every waking moment while trying to hold down papers in a windy environment is unimaginable. So that is just a glimpse of the life of a paper weight. Think twice next time when you speak badly of a paperweight.

Micro Blog: Trinket 1

The trinket I received today in class was a large paper weight. The paper weight is all glass, and is in the shape of a heart. The color of it is a very rich blue, almost like the ocean. It is clear and see through, which also makes it appear like water and the ocean. The feel of it is smooth, and it is heavy for its size, which it should be because its a paper weight. Not only does the paper weight hold down paper but it does have other uses. If you look through it, the paper weight magnifies whatever it is you are looking at. It is also very appealing, and would be a good decoration.
