Movie Blog

Garden State was a good movie about a guy who is lost when he is taken off his med’s.  Andrew is a guy who needs to go somewhere in life and has no clue.  This girl named sam shows andrew the way.  She helps him get on his feet and in the right path for life.  This film is great to show to people that have no clue what to do in life.  This would also be a good film to watch for people that have gone through this experience in life.

I have no problem with gay people, nor do i talk bad about them.  I have one gay friend and one gay relative through marrige.  I just think when you are a child and you grow up the child should be with a woman and a man when growing up for learning experiences from both sides of the gender.  Maybe if a two gay men raised a guy or girl, they wouldn’t get the same learning experiences as the Male and Female couple would.  That is my view on this topic, and i hope no one makes a huge deal about it in the long run.

Thoughtful Response

I thought that first story i read about desecreation was very stupid in my eyes.  Many U.S. citizens can’t pass that test.  I took it and failed.  That was way before i was even in the grade 12 to take the government class.  Now i can pass the test because i was tought.  You need to remember what happened in the past and at least know who are the building blocks of this government.  I know who the founding fathers are and i know what the “U.S.” wants from me, their for i dont need to take some test.  If people want to come to america, you better believe that they should know what the U.S. is about.  Why should we take in random alians that dont know anything about where they are trying to live.  Those people need to pass the test to be allowed in the U.S.  its a privalige to be here not a right.  As for same sex marriage.  I’m 100% against that.  Mainly because Man and Women reproduce, not Man and man or Women and Women.  Also sperm banks and all that stuff is considered fake in my eyes for same sex marrage peoeple to have kids.  They might raise them to purposly be gay.  I don’t fly for that.

All i got to say for the second story is quote “the family led by a married father and mother is best available structure for both childrearing and cultural health.”

Logical

When you went over cause and effect in class last week.  I thought that was very logical.  Not only did you show us the basic concept of cause and effect, you helped in a way with the pictures.  It was clever, but i caught on after the second picture i knew what you where trying to show us.  You started the cause.  We then talked about more causes of why it may be.  Then we talked about how it affected the person or community.  I thought that was a very good day in the class room for anyone who has difficulty understanding  cause and effect.

Struggling for Perfection

I didn’t really like this story.  It had some great examples of cause and effect, but the story was to dull for me to fully read.  When i read that she was doing research on patients, I thought that it was a great set up for cause and effect.  When i got half way through the story i felt like throwing the book away.  The words she choose to use where way to high classed.  I hate it when someone has to use a stupid sounding word to explain something.  Just explain it in your way of telling it.  The word entrenched  Is not needed in this story.  That word makes it more complicating to read the whole story because it throws you off the subject.  I think as i read that word, how can this word make the story sound better.  Making sense in your story is what matters.  The subject was very boring too.  Unless i am going to become a doctor for that subject or do research on that subject then i would have enjoyed reading it.  I dont like reading stuff about people doing research on sexuality and eating disorders.  Good examples on what we are learning, but the story was horrible.  thought i was going to fall asleep.

Just walking by response

I thought the story line was great.  He described a lot about who he was and where he came from.  With that to set up the story, we got the idea of why people would lock their doors when he walked by, or acted like he was a person who would steal, or mug someone in the park.  I believe that this has been happening for a long time.  I think it is still happening to this day as well.  The people that act really perinoied are the ones that freak out when something doesnt look right to them.  You just got to look for the first sign  they would make to judge what they might do to you.  If most people would relax when they encounter this, we would all be better off.

M&M’s

I think this fits people in the perfect place.  The idea of M&M’s to portait people is great.  I wouldn’t agree with the penute being the best one to strive for an A mainly because those are my least favorite M&M’s.  I thought the story was complete in many ways.  It explains how getting work done and trying or not on the homework to get an A in the course is.  Also, the different kinds of M&M’s help define a little about what the writer means.

Winter Storm Fun

The day after the storm was a great wake up.  I get out of my bed and see the streets covered and not showing the pavement.  I then got ready for the day, and received a phone call.  My dad calls and tells me to shovel everything before I do anything.  I thought that would put a damper on my day but after an hour of snow blowing I was ready to have some fun.  My buddy has a four wheeler and we decided to go behind seven bridges road.  We had the plan since the roads where covered with snow to pull me behind the four wheeler going about forty miles an hour.  I was strapped on my snowboard and ready to go sketching.  He pulled me up and down the street and whipping circles while I was hanging on.  The feeling was like wake boarding or water skiing.  After a while we built a jump and when it was complete I was confused on what to do off the jump.  This jump was about 3 feet high and launched you about twenty feet out.  After I took a test run to see if the jump held, my friend and I were ready to go.  I told him to go fifty so I could get enough air to do a 360 grab.  As he pulled me down the road to get a running start at the jump, I used the snow banks as a quarter pipe and was popping off the lip and spinning around and having fun.  Now it was serious, I had the jump about a quarter a mile away.  My friend took off and I was ready for the jump.  Going about fifty I was getting nervous.  As I approached the jump to attempt my first trick off it my friend juiced the throttle and it gave me a boost of speed and, I released the rope.  I hit the jump and got perfect air and hang time to complete the 360 stale fish grab.  I Landed clean on the soft and cushiony powder and road away until my speed descended.  After i landed the trick i was really stoked.  We were out there for about five hours riding over and over.  That will be a day I will remember because it was the first time this winter I could go urban snowboarding.

Random

Every once in a while we have to do a random blog.  Why so random.  Can’t it be about something, or have a subject to discuss about.  Or maybe it’s random because it is a lot easier to come up with something to write about.  Either way it is a very easy process to come up with a story or event to write about.  If you are having trouble on what to write about, then just think of the past or what may come to you in the future.  My english teacher back in high school had taught me if i get stumped to start writing or come up with something to write about, just think about what activities you did during the weekend.  Like snowboarding or ice fishing or playing hockey.  Then take those activities and either make a real life story or fiction.  What ever you want to talk about is your choice, but to make it interesting you must have something to talk about and details to make the reader be intersted in reading your writing.
