Log

Tuesday 
Today we had a work day and we were able to work on our paper for our portfolio due on Thursday. I worked on my this i believe paper trying to  make corrections that Mr. McArdle sent me in an email a while back ago. I hope that we all get our paper revised and prefect for our portfolios.   
Thursday 
Today Mr. McArdle went over how to cite paper on a slide show posted to the English blog. We learned that we should never use easy bib or any other helpful websites because they are outdated. We learned all the ins and outs to MLA format citing for book and web sources. I aslo learned that you need to cite where you get your pictures from. Even though it was a bit boring of a class it was very informational and helpful and im glad that Mr. McArdle went over the information. We also had a small amount of time in the end of class to work on our papers.

Sunday

I had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend i saw all my friends and family. I had a great food and great company!!! I also had Christmas with my family this weekend cuz it was the only time my whole family could get together and i got a new camera and gps.I cant really recall any thanksgiving argument except my sisters fighting over the same boyfriend. The whole argument was all pathos cuz they were just talking about their feelings. so overall all it was a productive weekend but this is a horrible blog cuz im talking on the phone at the same time.

Public Writing

For my pubic writing assignment i going to write about gun control.  I think we should have stricter policy on gun control or make it unable for american citezens to have guns at all. I know that completely changes the 2nd amendment but times have changed and with technology today i feel like guns are dangerously outdated. The  bureau of arm control is only concerned with registering those who own guns but they can't who comes in contact with the gun. How is the bureau really supposed to know who is safe to have a gun and is going to be responsible with it and who isn't. I think that guns should not be allowed for any american to have with theses days we have cell phone to call for help and don't need a gun for intimidate help. We also have security systems to keep our homes safe and i think guns are out dated.

Website

My website is about America education system. America education system has so many flaws and need to be corrected to make a better future. There has been so many cutbacks to schools because of the recent recession and the schools don't know how to cope with the change. They schools are firing teachers which gives students less one on one time with the teachers weakling their education. That also makes more students that need to be assigned to one teacher which creates jam packed class rooms. Also schools are dropping core classes  like music and physical education trying to make their budget work. Those classes can help students learn though a different medium but this opportunity is being taken away from students.  America is falling way behind other countries in test scores  because of these cutbacks.  Also with no the  law no child left behind it is doing just that leaving all the children behind in the school that are not up to par with their test scores.  There is something that people came do to help though. People can become apart of the change by taking action on their local school board and voting on laws for education reform. Also if the go see the new release "waiting for superman" that they could give 15$ gift card to a school of their choice.

For love of Music Wed the 22


So i realized outside of my circle of friends that people aren't obsessed with music like we are lol. Thats all we ever do is listen to musics our lives revolve around it. We all have personal favorites like my idols are TOM DELONGE, ALEX GASKARTH , and HALEY WILLIAMS my friends idols vary but we all love music just as much. My two good friends Eric and Reyes are in a band called Falling with Style and we all go to their shows all the time.  Their band name is from Toy Story lol The led singer of the band is name is Josh and he is SUPER FINE and i totally love him even though we really have never had a conversation lol  I'll put their myspace link if you wanna check them out and ps warning is a linking verb is my favorite. They only have two songs up but i have the whole album on my ipod lol.  Thats a picture of josh btw There a random pic me with my friend Eric and Matt i just put this picture up cuz it makes me laugh and i love it ha!
CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT FALLING WITH STYLE!!!

Here is one of my favorite smosh videos if anyone is interested to watch it not that anyone really reads my blogs tho lol thank you one person who comment on my stuff because they have too lol. Did you ever feel like  myspace reject back when that was popular. Everyone would like comment on each other stuff like everyday and have like 10 new messages and people would have like 50picture comments.  I would have like 5 picture comments an like 2 new post a day. 3 out of my 5 comments would be creepy old men and 1 of my new post would be those myspace whores that have their butt as the picture.  I really was a myspace loser but i would have sweet backgrounds because i wouldnt have much to do so i would just update that all the time lol. I was such a cool 13yrs im not gonna lie. Anyway thats all i have to say so peace out!

Friday the 27th of August

So today I was walking to class and a saw an unfriendly guy wearing a free hugs shirts and  I was very tempted to try to give him a hug to see what he would do.  He didn't look like the kinda guy who would want any sort of hug at all it got me to wondering how many times did he actually give away free hugs? I wonder in you put a hug 1$ if anyone would actually do it?.... just my random thought of the day.

It starts......

So i guess it starts me using another social networking site..... I miss the good old days where all you had was AIM with one email account attached with it but  now i have a school email, regular email, facebook messages, facebook instant messages, twitter, skype account, myspace and blackboard i feel like its a bit much. I guess thats the world we come to theses days, technological interactions instead of personal interactions but ill get off my soap box because they do make people lives easier and they do connect us all. well thts all i have to say for my 1st blog so later
