Reflections On Blogging

It's been a good time in E.T., one of the highlights of it all had to be blogging.  Getting the chance to "vent", to tell the "world" how I felt, what I was thinking.  It was all wonderful, I really did enjoy blogging.  I wasn't just doing it for the grade, I was doing it for the enjoyment of it all.

Sometimes I come across other blogs and I just wish my blog could be as good as theirs!  They look so professional! And they make money!



This is how I fell right now; Awesome, epic, ready for anything.
BRING IT!
(AOT RULES!!!!!!!!!!!)

I've really enjoyed the class though, the people (though they seem a bit "unbearable" at times) and some of the assignments (even though some were painstakingly diffcult and at times I felt like giving up).  But I wouldn't have traded this time for anything, it was a year well spent if you ask me.

AWESOME!

So tomorrow June 3, 2014; is National Egg Day.  I've National Egg Day, I'm partically exicited for it either.  I do like Eggs though; deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, egg sandwichs, egg salad, poached eggs (I could honestly go on for quite a while.).  I could say I eat eggs at least three times a week.  My favorite kind of egg?  An egg salad sandwich, there pretty awesome XD.

National Month of.......

Why would someone make special months to celebrate unusual things?  In my opinion its because these "unusual" things are really important.  Simple stuff like smiling or helping the planet; things ordinary people wouldn't think to do, but make a BIG difference in the world. 

I'm not actually up to date on what we celebrate in May so.....

What would I like to celebrate? ....I would like to celebrate National Sleep In Day, A day you get to sleep in!  Just to have a chance to sleep in and relax.
  

My weekend

Hi everybody, how's it going?  Of late I haven't been up to much lately, doing the usual you know.  Stuff like watching T.V. and movies. (Like Spider Man 2, which was Awesome)  But my weekend was pretty slow, doing chores/odd jobs around the house.  Watched the Lord Of The Rings again to, but in all honesty nothing else.

Deep(er) Sleep

So lately I've found, this amazing game called Deep Sleep (the Sequel being Deeper Sleep) Its a point and click horror/puzzle game.  (Meaning that you click on stuff and "stuff" happens.)  It has interesting plot: your character goes into a Deep Sleep for research and comes to this world inhabited by "creatures."
 

Scary Creatures in Deep Sleep

Violence on TV

 

Violence on T.V?  Is it bad you might ask?  Well the answer is a big fat NO.  Violence on T.V. is amazing!  Honestly what could be so wrong with it?  Some people might say that it could make violent children and all that nonsense but honestly, they just don't appreactiate the shows on T.V.  They might just be using it as an exuse to make their kids go to bed on time, or to prevent them from watching their show.  I do believe that Violence on T.V. can be approved.

Cinco de Mayo!!!

Cinco de Mayo, what is it you might ask?  Cinco de Mayo is a very important day to MANY Chicanos (or Chicanas) and Mexicans, Cinco de Mayo was the day the small meager Mexican army (led by General Zaragoza) fought and won against the mighty forces of the French (They won the battle on May 5th 1862, but lost the war)  Cinco de Mayo is important because it symbolizes inspiration for Independence and freedom for the Mexicans and the Chicanos.

 

I was pretty sure it was a national holiday, but if its not it should because it means SO much to people of Mexican heritage.

 

 

 

Prom.

My opinion on prom?  Well, I've never actually been to prom, never had any reason to go really.  I've heard about prom, all the craziness, the dancing, the drama that might occur, the good moments and the bad moments.  But all in all I think its worth it; it creates memories (wheter good or bad) that will last a lifetime.  After Prom (from what I've heard) is pretty epic, and I believe that After Prom would be an event to remember!  I'm actually considering going to After prom (would I have to go to prom to go to After prom?  If so thats a bit of a bummer.)

Earth Day

Earth is TOMORROW!  Now I'm not entirely sure what it all means, we're suppose to be all envriomentally friendly and all but is that it?
I've never actually participated in any Earth Day events but I heard they can be a great deal of fun.

1. The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970.
2. On the very first Earth Day, 20 million people gathered in the streets of America to protest the industrial revolution. An environmental movement was born as a result.
3. In Panama, 100 endangered species of orchids were planted and maintained to prevent their extinction in honor of Earth Day.

One day of my Spring Break?  Probably my favorite is last Monday
( April 7th 2014).  What did I do? I watched a BUNCH of movies, some of my personal favorites? Final Fantasy:Spirts Within and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, so overall it was a great break.

Free topic!!!! (Game Of Thrones: Acsent)

So of late I have been playing Game Of Thrones: Acesent, Now recently I have been told that their is a T.V. Show for this (very creepy apparently).  I've never seen it, don't honestly care to, I just enjoy playing the game.  It's an MMO (meaning Massively Multi player Online) and I play it on ArmorGames.com, it's a fun a little game.  I get to run my lands as Lord Wolfgang, a lord with a particularly interesting background.  As a young man I worked in the dealings of Secrets as a whisperer, now gaining the title of Lord, I run my lands as effectively as possible, dealing with slavers, merchants of death and famines.  So yeah, all of that.

This is the Banner of the House of Wolfgang.

 

Cheaters Never Win

Say hypothetically I found one of my friends cheating, what would I do?  How would react?  Would I go on a rampage and kill them? (Probably not)  I would probably do what anyone else would do.  I would confront my friend, tell them "Yo bra, hey I saw ya cheating on ______________ and I would like to ya that I didn't approve of it, and I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would NEVER EVER EVER do something like that again *Evil smile just to scare them* Thanks XD"
That is what I would do.

Photography Composition

 
 This picture is special because it was well planned.  You can tell this because it looks like the photographer actually took the time to look at what they were taking a picture of, they spent the time to become familar with the area.  That they actually took the time to think about their shot.  That is what makes theis special.

Testing, :(

It seems like my entire life, that I'm being tested. I hate it, I hate being tested, everthing thing I do seems to be a test, everything I do being watched to see if I'm going to succed or fail in life. Education seems to play a key role in all of my tests.  If there weren't any tests that would be nice, no more stress.  But at the same time what would I do?  How would I know where I was at educationally.

I don't feel that everyone should have to take these "standarized" tests, there horrible, they cause a TON of stress (I speak of my own stress.)  I compelety understand people saying there not good test takers (I'm one of them!)  Some people just aren't good on tests.

Four Things

Four Things in my life that are important?   hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm......

Well for starters, Air.  Now I'm not being all lazy and just listing all the things I need to survive.  Air is really important  to me, not just because I breath it, but because it symbolizes me! Air symbolizes people who are freedom-lovers, people who are idealistic, people who are noble and charming.

The Second thingthat is important to me is my Friends, there always there for me when I need them, always around when I need to talk to someone.  They've got my back when no one else does.

The Third thing that is important is dA (deviantart)  Because its just plain awesome.  I couldn't imagine a world without dA, its a place where I go online to find people who have similar intrests (note some people don't) these people are like family sometimes, we keep each other up to date on whats going on (Death of a Loved one, death of a pet, breakup, wedding, etc...) so Thank you dA.

And Finally the Fourth is people, any person, doesn't matter who.  People help me see why life is worth living.  People just being happy having fun, they make life seeem so.....Awesome. 

Popular President

Out of all of the presidents we have had, its safe to assume that President Franklin D.Roosevelt had the greatest impact.  I say this because he "saved" the U.S. from The Great Depression, he lead our country through most of WWII.  He was the greatest president ever, what other president can boast the fact that he lead their country through a Great Depression AND  a World War?  The hardest thing about being president, has to be the stress running the country (Having people complain/whine/protest about how your running things).  If the opprounity arose for me to become president, I would run, I would become the President.  My Campaigen pitch would be like.......... Want Something New, Make A Vote For Me And You!

Charity Event!

I would give the money to an orgainization like PETA  ( People for Ethical Treatment of Animals). $100,000 would probaly be pretty helpful for any orgainization.  PETA works to help animals escape from abuse, scientific testing, harmfull envrioments, etc...
That is what I would do with my $100,000.

If I Was Anywhere But Here........

I would LOVE to be in a desert.  Now you might be asking, why?  Why on earth would I want to be in a desert?  Because its a new place, it's a place I've never seen/been to before.  The sense of "Adventure" that would come along with it.  The fact that I could die from dyhydration (More or less just the thrill that being in the desert would give me.)  So yeah, thats that.

ISN"T HE SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Bug Out!!!!

If I was a bug I would have to be an Assassin Bug.  The name alone is just pure awesome.  Assassin Bug's "train" themselves to be formidable hunters of a certain prey, wheter it be spiders, ants, etc....  They "train" to be pros at hunting their prey, ones that hunt spiders "learn" to create vibrations in a spiders web, making the spider think it has food, when really it has an Assassin.  XD.  They are masters in camouflaging themselves with nature, bark, dust, etc....  They are true Assassins of the Bug world.  (However they can't eat solid food, so they have this chemical that allows them to liquefy their prey innards.  Then they suck it up with a straw-like mouth. XD)

FInal Exam

Out of all of the tools that we have used in our Exploring Tech. Class I believe that will be able to keep using Bloglines, I say Bloglines because its a neat little tool, it puts all of the stuff I need and want in one convenient place.  It takes feeds from sites and allows you to place them in the blogline site so that you can use/see them whenever you get on bloglines.
Out of the tools i think the one i will never use again will probably be Google Drive, It was just to difficult for me.  I not saying I didn't understand it or anything, what I'm trying to say was that it just wasn't "user-friendly".

Vacation Time!

So I had a very long vacation; and to put it simply, it wasn't the greatest.  I sat around the house, moping, wishing I could be off doing something fun and awesome.  Mostly I watched some B-daman Crossfire.  I didn't get anything cool for Christmas, didn't get to go sledding (but I did go snowmobiling).  No I didn't make any New Year Resolutions and I hated every extra snow day!
