Buddha wasn’t even fat

I bet right about now you are wondering what the freak is that title about well it’s a good attention getter and it has alot to do with my post so yeah. Well BBCHS has been cool the people there are really cool and really nice. I got some cool teachers to none of them are deadly boring. Well I’ve made alot of friends at school they are all pretty cool. I’ve been teaching them some of the words I say like slammin, sweat me, ya boy/girl, freak, bruh, just stuff like that it’s funny because people up north have funny accents wher they carry out there A’s so when I slammin they say slaamin in a nasly voice. I acttually got in an argument with one girl about it because me and some other girl from N.O. could here the accent but nobody else could it was great.

 Well I’m sure by now you’re still wondering what’s up with the title so now I will explain. In World History we are learning about religions and right now we are doing Buddhism. Well we were learning about Buddha (who was an actual person) and I found out stuff that I never knew. Well Buddha’s real name isn’t Buddha it’s Siddhartha Gautama people called him Buddha after he sat under a fig tree for forty nine days searching for enlightment and on the forty ninth day achieved it. Buddha means enlightened one (go figure eh). Well let me give you the full 411. Siddhartha was born in a noble family, at birth prophets prophecized to his father that if he stayed at home his entire life he would be a world ruler and if he left home he would be a world wide spiritual leader. So his dad was like sweat me my kids going to be a world ruler(they knew this because of his traits like tan golden skin and a unibrow). Well Siddhartha got married and had a boy. (I don’t know what happened to them we won’t hear anymore about them they weren’t important). After 29 years of chillin in the palace he said bump this I’m leaving. (since he left his home now he will be a world wide spirtual leader according to the prophecy). He left the palace 4 different times. The first time he saw an old man. The second a sick man. The third a corpse being carried to creamtion grounds. The fourth time a spiritual man who he noticed had peace with himself. After seeing this Siddhartha said all men will face aging, sickness, and death but a spiritual man will escape suffering.(mental suffering that is). Well  after seeing this Siddhartha embarked on a journey to find enlightment (which is total understanding). He traveled throughout the woods and to find enlightment he argued with religious leaders, meditated, (and this is where the title comes in) fasted for forty nine days maybe longer on six grains of rice a day. He got so skinny that if you poked a finger in his stomach you would touch his back bone. The book said he died skinny so why the freak do we consider Buddha fat. The guy was anorexic if anything. We picture Buddha as some fat guy with little chinese babys all over him when really he is some skinny little guy with a freakin unibrow. That is just weird. but I thought it was interestin so yeah well. I wish I had some good little ending note but I don’t so yeah I’m gonna go lata homies.

love ya
