Learning Style

I always knew I was a visual learner, but I was amazed to see how much of an auditory learner I am. This has helped me a little bit because now I know that i really need to become a better auditory learner. I need to be able to comprehend what people say and turn it into valid memory.

Week Number 3

This website is starting to drive me crazy. I have just gotten most of the web page layed out, and begun adding information to some of the slides. I have spent the past 3 hours messing with hyperlinks and developing a skeleton for the basis of our web page. To finish this web page I'm going to need to collaborate with my group, and find out what kind of imagery they want put on the website besides the video and pictures of reefs. We also need to get together to film the video because it will take quite a bit of time to get the rap to match our lips perfectly. I'm hoping the rest of the group will like all of the techniques I have used in the website. I used bright colors on important topics, and a little bit of shock factor by saying the importance of reefs, and if something doesn't change the problems not having coral reefs could cause.

Journal week 2

I have been working on the website for the past couple hours. I have learned how to hyperlink videos and use links that with one click can steer you to the next page. I have inserted some pictures of coral reefs, and e-mailed my partner for her final draft paper so I can put some of her information into the website. I found a logo for our company and put it on our website also. Microsoft Office Publisher is pretty easy to manage around although the problem with links took me a little while to figure out. I'm still trying to find a way to add audio, but i think we may just add that into the video. I decided upon the color schemes and thought Neon blue and green would work because they are some what coral esque colors.

Project week number 1

This week we began our project. We decided at first to use my topic of the United States economy, but later changed our topic to protecting the Coral reefs. We did this because we knew we wanted to do a rap and a music video and felt it would be better fitting if we had a cause to rap for. I am now in the process of creating a rap, its a lot harder than i thought it would be we have to include a multitude of facts and keep it interesting at the same time. We don't know what our video is going to be of soon, but we are looking to be standing on a boat while recording our raps.

Suprise time

My roomate has some sort of fasination with the song 99 redballoons a famous 80's hit. Well today is my roomates birthday, and his girlfriend decided it would be a great idea to fill our room with 99 redballoons. I agreed happily, but unfortunatley i underestimated how annoying 99 redballoons are. My room smells like a friggen rubber factory, and i'm starting to go insane if i wake up from a nap again and pop balloons when i step out of bed i might snap...

Roomate Drama

My roomate deserves the title douche bag. He pulled a very mean prank on me the day before he left. He told me to go check the mailbox, and when I went he locked the door and left. When he returned an hour later when I yelled at him he decided to get an attitude with me. Sometimes I really hate that kid. One day I'm going to mess him up, then we woln't fight anymore because their will be fear there. Fear is a necessity in any good realationship lol.

Flash Games

Sometime I get a little tired of console and computer games, when I do this i gain a whole new addiction Flash games. My favorite type of Flash games are defense games. The premise of these games is to prevent all the invading enemies from destroying something like a castle or fortress. In these games you upgrade towers and guns anything to destroy the enemy. I could go on about these games forever, but all this talk about them has me craving to play one see ya.

I Received a Stern Talking To..

My RA finally decided he had had enough and decided he wasn't going to take any of my crap anymore. I guess yelling hey homo at him in the out of bounds was a bad idea. After receiving a lecture about how I need to be more respectful is it bad that the first thing I thought about was how to get even with him. I thought of ways to mess with him that he wouldn't know its me but would still have quite the impact. Then I realized i'm way to lazy to plot up anything right now and decided a nap was better... So i'm deciding its better if sombody helps me.. You guys decide do you think i should seek revenge or just let this one go, and if I'm going to seek revenge please give me some ideas on how to do so.

What I Wanted to Be When I Grew Up

Some children want to be a fireman or a doctor, however my dream was a little different. I was dead set on becoming a pirate when I grew up. I use to picture myself running the seven seas. I still think I would be one awesome pirate. I was a little bit of an odd child because when my mom read the Peter Pan book to me I would cheer for Captain Hook. No matter how many times my mom read that book to me the ending was always the same Hook got eaten by a dang crocadile, and Peter Pan walked away unscathed. I hated first grade because that is when my mom broke the news to me that pirates weren't around anymore. I was ticked at my mom for over two weeks, I didn't even attempt to talk to her.... She crushed my world then, and to tell the truth a little part of me is still dead.

Farmville

Heres the deal like hundreds of thousands of college students, I to am an addict to Facebook. The problem is now I'm also an addict to Farmville and app on Facebook. I have wasted endless hours on this dumb little game that could have been put towards something productive. Instead I spend endless hours farming imaginary grapes and sunflowers. I'm a level 26 farmer if you wanna be my neighbor hit me up on Facebook.

Fall Break..

So far my fall break has been boring and incredible. While I had school work I lost a lot of valuable video game time. This break I plan on finishing some of the games that I have started earlier in the year, which includes Devil May Cry 4 and Mario Kart the one for Wii. I sure do miss my videogames they are like children to me. Wish me luck Devil May Cry is calling my name.

Back to the Band

I use to be part of something amazing.. I know what you're thinking a rock band, but not the real thing the video game rockband. I am becoming an addict again and am ready to rock.. Which brings up another issue i'm wasting money on things i don't need again... Ooh balls well anyways wish me luck i'm going to go have some fun.

Peer Review

You may find it odd, but the one part that helps me is at the very beginning when I explain what my paper is about and the message I'm trying to show with its strong points. I love this part because when I write I put down a million things that don't need to be in the paper, which makes my final product a jumbled mess. In my final draft I have to make sure to add the connection to A Long Way Gone because I completely forgot that part.

Resistance 2

I feel like I have wasted the past 3 hours of my life. I spent the majority of today playing a very addictive videogame called resistance 2. The game is simply incredible, one of those one man vs 1000000 alien type games. Well I was so pumped to have finally beaten the game and the only thing that ruined my rush was the crappy ending what the hell were the creators thinking...

Boredom

Ok so Boredom has officially gotten the better of me. I have run out of ideas for messing with my roomate. I got so bored that one day i went to walmart and bought 134 mouse traps. Do you know what you can do with 134 mouse traps... Me either I know realize that was a very stupid decision.. In other news I have destroyed my hands trying to set these mouse traps. They really suck. They are so sensitive that if you hardly touch them you might lose a finger.

Stress...

Lately college has been getting the better of me. It seems like all my professors talk and decide to put tests on the same day. This makes me over encumbered with vast amounts of work and study material. Unfortunately some of my grades have been slipping and I'm beginning to lose my mind. Maybe I should take a road trip somewhere to take my mind off of school or better yet maybe I should get a new hobby if you have any tips or ideas please hook me up.

Getting Down With the Sickness

I have been terribley sick this whole week I actually only woke up this early because I was literally choking because my sinus infection is that bad. Tuesday was a pretty bad day because my roomate had to tell someone to stay in the room with me at all times because he thought I was dying. I have tried everything to kill this sickness except going to the doctor. I tried flushing it out with tons of soup, crackers, and green tea. I even tried the almighty food known as the ham and cheese hot pocket and that didn't work.. If you know of any other cures please tell me or i'm afraid my mucus might strangel me in my sleep.

Hurt

I have had the song Hurt stuck in my head all week. This was made by Nine Inch Nails and covered beautifully by Jonny Cash. I have no idea why it is in there but it woln't come out. For some reason I get a really strange feeling in my gut when i listen to it..Wow music is pretty powerful. Anyhoozen if any of you guys reading this know any more addicting songs that can get this one out of my head please tell me.

Time To Go

I'm pretty friggen sad that I actually have to go home this weekend. When I came to college I told myself I would never go home, and my parents didn't expect me to because i'm their most independent child. I have to go to my cousins wedding which is torture for me. I hate going to places and pretending like you know everybody when in reality you don't, and really don't care. In conclusion never go home.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Here's the deal my roomate and I have been pretty close friends since 6th grade, but their are some things that he does that really tick me off. One of the few issues I've had with him are over my computer chair. Why you ask, because I spent 300 dollars on this chair and we have been through a lot. I put up with him and his girlfriend on a daily basis. How do you ask? Lets just put it this way every day when I try to sleep it sounds and feels like an earthquake is going on above me. I told my roomate their is one thing off limits, and I told him this because he had already ticked me off by being in it before. I know what you're thinking this guy is a real jerk because he doesn't want his friend sitting in his chair, but it's not like that at all. He sits in my chair with his girlfriend on his lap which bugged me, so I confronted him about it and told him not to do so. Well today I finished my chemistry test early and headed home. Then I opened my door to find my roomate in my chair with his girlfriend completely stratling him. I got instantly pissed and push came to shove and I haven't seen my roomate all day. Sometimes I wish everybody was raised like me, and taught respect for other people's property and feelings. I mean come on isn't it common sense?

Another Friday Night

The best thing about the end of the week is Friday. Everything really good happens on Friday! I saw some friends from home while I was out and it was great to see some familiar faces. We caught up and talked about old times. Then something really funny happened I had everyone convinced that my roommates girlfriend was my twin sister. The thing is we really don't look alike at all. Its okay though because when we do this no one messes with her. It seems like something really cool always happens on Friday when everybody gets together!

Video Games

I play video games like it's my job. My dream job would be to probably get payed to play because i'm that lazy. I have learned some crafty skills from playing videogames. I can sing like a friggen canary because of Rockband and I have have amazing thumb dexterity. People don't understand, but videogames are like a book to me. Some people read, i play videogames. Characters and storys develop in a videogame as well as in books.

Ditched by My Sister

Heres the deal the first day in college I met this girl Jess. I instantly could tell that my roommate had a thing for her, so I knew she was off limits. Plus for some reason I didn't find her attractive at all. Well my roommate isn't one to party because he can get rowdy and accidentally insult people. So, it may be better altogether because I really hate having to fight for other people's stupidity. Anyways Jess and I like to go out and have a good time, but heres the catch. We inform everyone that she is my sister so nobody messes with her because she already has a man. Jess and I had been looking forward to a shindig all week, and when it finally came we made an appearance and began having a good time, unfortunately she felt the need to head home after being there for only like 30 min. She did this because my roommate and her apparently got into a fight about nothing and she decided it would be better to leave. I just got kind of frustrated because we have been a pretty dynamic duo at these shindigs and now it's all ruined. I'm not sure if I should ever go out with her again because if she's ok with leaving her partner in crime once its more than likely she will do it again.

Daddy has Found a Mommy

So, there is this girl that i have been crazy about since seventh grade. Her and I have been through a lot together, and unfortunately a lot separate also. Throught a series of unfortunate and very crappy relationships her and I had never had a chance to date or even give it a shot. After my last relationship ended I decided to get in contact with my long lost friend. I now realize this was the best choice I have ever made. I'm not an emotional guy at all you can ask anybody who knows me and instantly know that, but when I look at this girl my heart instantly melts and I feel incredible. I can't even explain the way i feel in words, but the closest i could come is a combination of incredible, amazing, and perfect. I know I would be happy if I could just hear this girls' cute laugh and see her beautiful eyes daily. Sure from other's standpoints it may seem like infatuation or lust, but this to me is pure love.

An Old Tale From Daddy's Memorybank

I dedicated more than 13 years of my life to wrestling. I use to eat, sleep, and breethe wrestling. Although I had many memorable matches and some great victories one really comes to my mind when i reminisce. We have a wrestling tournament called ACAC back home, and I was good enough to make it to the finals. This was a huge accomplishment for me because I was only in 7th grade and one thing that always brought my family together was sports. Unfortunatley I lost in the finals by 2 points with 13 seconds left in the match I took the loss pretty hard, but for the first time in my life I actually could see how proud my dad was of me, and I thought he was too manly to ever show emotion twards me.

Story Time with Daddy

The other night I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with some friends and it was incredible! I have never had food that tasted that good. The best part about it was we all wore jumpsuits! That was super freaking cool. I pretty much had the greatest day ever. Now I am sitting here with all these people in my room and someone just walked in here and is talking about ESPN paying him to play ping pong! This dorm room is where the most random things ever happen. Example Yesterday my roommate came home with a poster of the Mona Lisa and hung it on our wall. Then today he came with a Banana poster, Starry Night Poster, and a Fight Club poster. I hate them all except for the Fight Club one. They are so random and way out of place! That is my story time for today! Peace!

A Day in the Life of Daddy

My parents told me before I started college that these were going to be some of the best years of my life. To tell the truth i blew it off just like everything elese they had tried telling me. I know realize that my parents were correct. I have had more fun in this week of college than I had my whole time in the little town of Bluffton. Despite the multitude of problems that are happening back home, I have been able to find a salvation in all the friends that I have made. My roomate and I started college hoping one day to become the big men on campus, but who doesn't do that. Thankfully one day a very strange, yet confident girl walked into our room. Push came to shove and 2 days later we have a whole crew of people hanging out in our dorm room daily. We have about 10 people who call our dorm their "Home".
