Happy valentines day readers!


I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT THIS TIME.  I wanted to write about movies that ive seen recently but since i am taking so many credit hours i have been super busy with school and dont have time for anything else.  Another reason why i have not seen any movies recently is because i don't have my car up here in muncie with me.  Ohh do  i miss my 2000 honda accord.  i cant wait until spring.  i want to get out of my dorm room and go play some frisbee golf, golf or something fun outside.  i probally wont have time for that because i am so busy with school.   there is this dude who lives on my floor, is he super annoying.  he will literally one up your story, every time.  you could tell the most personal story you have and he will find away to make his story "better"(air quotes) than yours.

my weekend again

this weekend was uneventful yet again.  on friday my mom came up to ball state and picked me up.  this was the first time ive seen my dad after his knee surgery.  friday i went to my sisters house.  where i watched a movies and tv with them the i fell asleep to comedy central presents and golf. it was mainly the golf that put me asleep.  Saturday i woke up to my niece shoving a video game case in my face.  it was snowing and we decided to have a snow day.  we went out side and had a blast in the snow.  after that i went home and my dad wanted to go to borders to spend his gift cards that he got for christmas.  after the borders trip, i watched another movie with my father then left again for my sisters house where i watched UFC 126 with my brother-in-law, it was awesome.  i woke up sunday to my cars alarm going off for no apparent reason.  i got a hair cut and then left for ball state. and right now i am watching the superbowl with my friends.

2.  She tells the story that made her pro-choice.  When she was Dormitory counselor at a women's college when a "golden girl" got pregnant.  In this essay she has very good word choice and it makes it more emotional.  Well she says that she is pro-choice in the first sentence of the second paragraph.
4.  Censorship of the internet.  The federal gov. is trying to establish a nationwide WIFI so everyone can get access to the internet.  That is a good idea but there is a catch.  They will censor every thing THEY feel is obscene.  I could discuss both sides of the issue and then pick one that i will defend.

first blog of the new semester jan/16/2011


First Blog of the new semester

I am excited to start a new semester at Ball State University!  This semester I am taking a bunch of classes that I am actually interested in.  As apart of my English credits I am taking English 102 with one of my favorite professors of all time, Sarah Sandman.  I really enjoy that Ball State University let me keep the same professor for this semester.  It eases the stress of the transition with all the new professors and classes and classrooms that I can’t find.  I love college, but I seriously can’t wait until spring break, even though I have no plans. I am just excited for the warm weather.   This new beginning of college has me stressed already.  As a president of a club here at Ball State University I have a lot on my plate already.  I really hope his semester will be a good one!

blog 11 movie project 11/12/2010

the blog is about my favorite project that i have ever done for a class.  This project is about my beliefs in life. which are: i believe that decisions or choices you make, make you who you are; i believe that people are basically good and just appear evil; i believe that if you want something bad enough, no one can tell you otherwise; i believe that people should take responsibility for their actions' i believe in that if you do something good there will be a reward for you and vice versa (karma).  all of them are connected in a moral way.  the way i describe these beliefs is i movie with movie references. like for the first one i use the god father, scarface, and john dillenger.  i still need to mess with the timing to make it longer and add more pictures to drive in the point.  I am trying to use classic movies that everyone has seen and its becoming a real challenge but its a lot of fun!

blog 10 friday november 5 2010 movies and such

remember, remember the fifth of november for the gunpowder, treason and plot; i know of no reason why the gunpower treason should ever be forgot. ----guy fawkes

that is a quote from a very famous historical figure and it also a very famous line from one of my favorite movies.  V for Vendetta.
 today i am going to talk movies.  over the past 24 hours i have watched 3 different movies.  all of them different but all so similar.  two of them were academy  award winners for best picture for 1993 and 1986.  can u guess??  the two movies are Platoon and Shindler's List.  Now on my list for my favorite movies of all time.  Platoon centers around a military platoon who's leader has made a bad decision and and set the platoon in to a civil war with its self.  its based in the vietnam war during the 1960's and it has an all star cast ranging from best supporting actor to best lead actor.  The plot of the movie is about the directors, oliver stone, experiences in vietnam which gives the film a sort of realism.  if you have not seen them i highly recommend them!!
