Poseidon God of the sea

Poseidon
Poseidon is the God of the sea he is also the god of the earthquakes, storms and horse. He is the brother of Zeus Demeter, Hera, Hestia, Hades. He has seven Theseus, Triton, Polyphemus, Belus, Agenor, Neleus, Atlas. His roman name is Neptune. Poseidon's weapon of choice is the Trident. His trident was crafted by Hephaestus. Hephaestus also crafted Zeus's lighting bolt and Hades pitchfork. Poseidon is known to be temperamental, Powerful and Loyal. He has these traits because he is the brother of  Zeus and has stuck by his side forever.

Opinion 
This is my favorite god because he has no equal. No one can do what he does. He can do so much with the sea at his control. I would respect Poseidon because he can do so many things with something as simple as water. Poseidon greatest strength is his powers. If he didn't have his powers he would just be a soldier. His greatest weakness is that he was very unpredictable.

Greek myths story

Freak Waves at Sea
The Titan tips over with over a hundred people on board

Huge waves at the sea that wiped many people yesterday. The Titan the largest boat at sea at the time was tipped over with many people on board. This boat was over 6 stories high. When this ship went over board the entire crew went in a panic. These passengers went running for safety  when the ship was rocked back and forth. “Many people jumped off the boat when it started to tip over” a passenger said. The captain says that the boat started to fall apart with a flash of of lighting hitting the the deck.
After research I found out that there has been many lightning strikes all over the worlds sea. In the same places there have been freak waves. The Greeks have responded to this and have said that this has happened before and it is the gods Poseidon and Zeus fighting. When this happened before hundreds of people died from the numerous lightning strikes. The ships that were at sea were never seen again. The last time this happened 53 years ago. A survivor of this lightning strike 53 years ago says “It was the most terrifying thing of my life.”  

There were over 500 deaths and 750 injured. This number has made many people terrified, distraught and many kids orphans. If this is the gods fighting this could kill everyone in time. I personally wonder what will happen now. What will we do? How will we do this? These are the questions asked all over the world.

YouTube

The Beginning
YouTube was invented February 14, 2005. This site allows billions of people to watch and share videos. This is a gobble site for everyone. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, Jawed Karim were the founders of YouTube. They invented it in a Menlo park garage. All of them became millionaires when they sold it for 1.65 billion dollars to the Google search engine.

Opinion
I like to use YouTube to watch videos and see what the world is up to. I know there are many other sites that i could use but i like the way YouTube is set up. The only complaint i have about YouTube is the Google Plus feature. The Google plus features a feature where you have to sign in to Google Plus. But you only have to sign up if you want to leave comments.  The thing that I don't like is the stuff that people put in the comments with Google plus you can draw pictures in the comments and some people put up odd things.
Challenge
The challenge for this blog is to comment if you like YouTube or do you not like it. Answer these questions in the comments below. I hope you enjoyed this blog.
