I am thankful for...

I am thankful for my family, my friends, God, food, drink, shelter, air, earth, ground, light, dark, school, and a lot of things. I am very fortunate for all my belongings and all that my parents have provided me with. I feel luck to be where I am, and I hope to use my luck to be a good person. I will use all my gifts to help me in the future in whatever field I plan to advance in. 

Newscast Project Experience

My Newscast experience has been weird. It has been hard working with my partners and putting everything on one computer and fritzing around gettin information. I like groups of 2 better because there are 2 computers to a desk, and it works better to not have to move around. Also, I have been sick a lot of the time that we have had to work on this rojct in class. Overall, The project has been hard and maybe group projects will get easier as time presses on.

Political Humor

First of all, I'd like to say that this cartoon, in my eyes, is not picking at Muslim people at all, but is drawn to show how the world is. It's humorous because it shows that people ignore the big picture, and the main point of news, and point out the tiny thing that they find offensive. They look past the world's problems and get frustrated because of a silly mishap. The man in the cartoon is outraged by the misrepresentation of his God or leader, but totally ignores the bigger problems on the front of the newspaper.

Invention

If I could create an invention, I would create a device that would be used to listen to all my notes in my sleep, and memorize information. It would play as I'm sleeping, not disrupting me, and I'd review all my notes from that day, without active consciousness. I'd wake up the next day all reviewed and up to date on all of yesturday's information.
My invention would look like an ipod, and blend in so that no one would notice anything out of the ordinary.
I would keep it to myself because I wouldn't want everyone else getting smart as fast as I am. I wouldn't want it falling into the wrong hands, and being used for non-peaceful purposes.

This picture is very inspirational to me. It reminds me of the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." It applies to today's world because all of the people around the world are so different. We all have such unique tastes and ambitions. Somethings that might mean a lot to us, might mean nothing to one of our friends. Something someone might have thrown away (like in this picture) might be something someone else has been looking for their whole life. This picture is inspiration to me because it inspires me to look for things, even in the trash! To strive for answers!

Podcast

In the last few weeks, we were assigned to make a podcast for our favorite horror movie. I chose "Quarantine" because it had me up all night. The movie went from one action scene to the next. The movie never stopped with it's fast pace horror and suspense. I tried to involve sounds in my podcast that would fit the movie. It was very fun browsing through all of the sounds to find which one i thought best represented the movie "Quarantine".
