Entry #6: FIN

As a student a lot of assignments are focused and no creativity is put forth in the work. I love blogging but when something so personal and intimate is a requirement it becomes uncomfortable. Not because I had to do the blogs in general, but the fact that I had to write on particular topics that was not appealing to me. I love blogging I just found it more relaxing to do self generated posts because they were open to write on whatever topic I wanted to touch on. Blogging was an assignment so of course I took it seriously.If it was optional, I probably would have to it even more serious because maybe then the topics would been for own interest. But these blogs are part of my overall grade. Blogging for class, I learned that I have to be more open to topics and willing to analyze them and be able to write on them. While still sounds like I know exactly what it is I am talking about. I always think blogging is resourceful. For example, I am a dancer, what if I have to promote myself through social medias, and that includes blogging. Taking what I have done in class or any other class I blogged in, I have the resources and feedback to improve my blogging and make it more comprehensive. So in many ways blogging even for a small assignment is both useful and valuable. I not in any position to tell someone with a degree how to run a class assignment, I believe Chris has it is perfect and he should not change anything but the topics. Doing this blog assignment has made me want to blog more. I mean I blog picture all the time on Tumblr, but I want to actually start blogging in writing. Maybe I can start a daily dancer blog, that will keep record of my daily class summaries, workouts, and I can even talk about how I balance both course work and dane classes.

Entry #5: The First Stone

       In the media everything is twisted, every face, story, walk, and interview. With today's technology many of things can be manipulated. When I was younger I used to live by what the media said about my favorite actors and musicians. Now as I have grown I am finding that the media credibility is small and the majority of the information they throw out is false. I just do not understand how people go out of their way to make a story up about someone. I cannot see how they sleep at night. And the sad this is, is that there is nothing protecting the famous people from being slandered. It really is sad and pathetic. On of my favorite things to hear in the media is how all the successful musicians are part of the illuminati. And because people do not do their research, they believe the media and begin to spread words like a virus. This causes a lot of hatred towards the artists and it just is not fair.
   

My dad always say, well they are in the public eye now so they are open for anything. I think that is the most asinine comment my father has ever said. I  do not agree that a person who become a public figure should have his/her privacy invaded, just so someone can make a buck. These days I tend to stay away from tablots and news channels. There are filled with bias opinions and lies. If all these paparazzi people take their negativity and turn it into something educational and beneficial maybe kids would be a lot smarter and people would actually care more about something other than what Kim K is doing or what drug did Whitney die from.

Entry #4: A Love Story??

       

      So my class viewed a documentary film on CAPITALISM. According to IMDB, Capitalism is describes as, A Love Story examines the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). What a joy-able topic right? Not even, I do understand the content of the film, but it was all about politics, everything we do is politics. I am the type of person who would stay away from politics if it was not an everyday factor in my wellbeing. And as much as I find was bored by this film, I can only think about how truthful some of the information is. Honestly, this film is provided to the people but no one has stepped up and said anything defending the cause of this film. Our Government is the hugest contribution to capitalism. The majority of the money, time, and effort individuals put into things, they hardly ever see it. I mean come on, a penny is worth two cents. This film shined a light on a lot of wrong doing to the people, but again no one is standing up and we the people continue to complain. My parents always taught me, a closed mouth does not get feed.  And in many situations, this is true; if we the people continue to let the government over run us and take what we work so hard for, we will never get by and continue to struggle. As a reminder CAPITALISM is NOT evil; it is the government that is evil. 

Hurricane

We met at dawn, we part at dust;

The only thing that separates us is the moon and the sun;

One of us reveals the stars in the sky,

And one of us has clouds that can be shaped into our own destiny;

Together we create ecstasy;

Only time will tell if we’re together forever;

So for the time being lets collide at the horizon of heaven.

Short Story: Untitled

Hi, my name is Winston Shakespeare; I’m a 34 year old Irish/Russian (weird right? I know!!!). I’m currently a resident of Sacramento California. I grew up with both my parents in the same household. I am the youngest of nine kids. I have always been an over-achieve; a prodigy kid my neighbors would say. I graduate from high school in 1997 and not long after I attended Yale University. By the time I turned 24 I was in love with a girl by the name Kit Porter. I’m now married we have three boys and two girls. Enough of my history let’s fast forward… All my life I’ve dedicated my knowledge to medicine, I received my PhD in plastic surgery. At such a young age I lucked up. The practice I was working with during my intern, did a very nice thing for me and I quickly advanced pass my fellow colleagues. I now have my own practice. Let’s fast forward a tad bit more….

Stupid Job!!! I’m sick of this job!!! Sorry I was being impolite my name is Carl James, I’m a 41 year old. And I have a dead end job at some magazine company; I forget the name. I can’t quit because my wife all she do is nag nag NAG!!!!! I’m so sick of her and this stupid job. I wish everything could just stop…….

Lately I have been working way too much and I know it. I just feel that if I slack then I will lose all I have worked so hard for. My wife is growing tired of me coming home late in the night. I have tried to talk it out so I was thinking of something, because today is my wife’s and twin son’s birthday. I Boy how I wish for a wish……

Ok before everything stops let me tell you why I’m so fired up. My wife calls me at work complaining about house duties (seeing that I’m at work). I don’t give a damn about house duties because I’m at work all damn day. So we get into a heated argument and she tells me not to come home tonight. I tell her I won’t so now I’m just driving around it’s about 7:00pm. I have been drinking since I been out of work and I’m on my way home to tell this woman I want a DIVORCE. I’m so done with all the nagging, complaining, and heartlessness towards me. What did I ever do to deserve this from her? I feel as if I want to burst into tears. This is not the woman I pledged to live the rest of my life with. I have to something to get my dear old darling back. I’ll just go get some flowers and when I get home tell her to put on her finest dress……….

Today I promised my wife I would be on time for her birthday party and it seems as if I’m running late already. It starts at 7:30pm and I still have a meeting to go to. So I have to rush., I’m zooming through my presentation and now I’m running through the halls like a maniac. I finally get to my office and to check the clock it now says 7:04 (OH SNAPS OH ON), and the place it at least 30 minutes away. Without thinking I leave everything and jump in my car in zoom to the highway…..

So I walk through my front door to find my wife nowhere in sight. (VERY VERY WEIRD) So I just sat down at the table to gather my thoughts. And in a moment of prayer I heard a noise BOOM BOOM!! Than BANG BANG!! I yelled HONEY!! No response. So I slowly walked up the stairs and the noises grew louder and louder and I choked on my words when I heard another man’s voice coming from my room. I felt a brick wall smack me in the face, I stopped to think of what to do next….. I pushed the door opened and my wife looked at me as if cheating on me was perfectly fine. She stared me in the face and I began to cry. I ran down the stair and stormed out the door. I slammed the door and it made the rumble of thunder in its most perfect form I got in my car and headed for the highway…….

I’m speeding in my 330i BMW, doing 210 mph. I’m changing my clothes in the same moment. I speak to myself Lord please let me make it on time. Then with in a quick second everything flashed before me then went black……

I’m speeding in my Explorer, going fast as it can go I’m drinking in the same process. Thinking to myself “how could I have let this happen?” I unconsciously put my head on the wheel of my car still doing the speed I began with. Then everything went black, and it seemed as if everything stood still like the house that that wolf couldn’t blow down……

Two cars collided on 74B, the BMW wrapped around the explorer like a pig in a blanket. Car pieces shattered like water spraying from a water gun. Other car swerved to miss the two cars. Then the truck took a more suspenseful route; the truck began to spin and spin. I man in the truck flew in the air like he was going to fly and he hit the ground like a pancake being flipped in a pan. When the man hit the ground bones popped out from his body blood skeet everywhere. And a by passing car ran his left leg over. The sound was horrifying. The sound of cans crushing was the sound his leg produced. Now the other man in the car was almost dead to the world. A gash in his was the size of a size 5 shoe in women. Blood poured from his face and neck. A car piece slightly penetrated his jugular.

Here came the emergency. And the men were rushed to the hospital and it told almost the same amount of hours to put the two men together like a jigsaw puzzle. Finally the work was done; they were in recovery in 20 hours of surgery. Funny how life can change things within seconds.

I can’t believe this happen to me, but I can’t question why. I know that was too my fault for speeding on the highway but I was on the right side of the road. That I can remember. I now have learned what to put first in LIFE and now I plan to cherish what I have on this earth until I leave here. Lesson learned pay attention to the road…..Thank God I’m here to tell this story.

Hi, I’m Carl’s wife and my husband is in a coma because of me and I feel so bad. I could kill myself, but I have to be strong for my husband. And by the time he wakes I hope he realize I do love him and I’m and sorry from the bottom of my heart…..All I pray for is for my Husband to wake up……Please Lord I’m sorry and I promise I won’t do it again…..I’M SORRY!!!

Entry #3: Are you Serious??

So ASU wants to shorten classes for seven and a half weeks. As a college student I find this absurd. It's bad enough some of this educational institutions try to teach years worth of school work in twelve weeks. I'm so glad that I am nor going into a field that consist of me doing extreme book work. I would not make it in only seven weeks. Now ASU ask yourself what can you learn/ remember in seven weeks?

Entry #2: Bias

           So for this blog assignment I had to find an article that display the author being opinionated but not directly stating it. What better topic to pick than "Gun Control"; lets just say besides  abortion and gay right gun control has the most opinionated articles there is. I don't read like to read articles on subjects like these for the fact they are so bias and one sided. Take a look for yourself:

Entry #1: Characteristics

  To start things off I enjoy blogs it  let me know that there are still people in this world, and not robots who think they have the solution to everything. But really, I honor any blogger who has the guts to put their information out. Everybody has an opinion on everything and for someone to write faithfully on the internet where thing can be manipulated takes a lot thinking, in my opinion.

 So I had to view three blogs, which are blogtrepreneur, time, and weblog awards. None of which I found interesting. I'll tell you why, I have a huge imagination so when I go to blogs I expect to be wowed. After all it all visual aid. Going to these blogs made me feel like I was listening to a professor lecture for an entire hour and fifteen minutes.

   I went to Blogtrepreneur, the name itself screams boring. I thought it was going to be about blogs that have items for sale, but no it was not. The link my instructor gave out directed me to the top ten corporate blogs. I ultimately thought, "Yeah, I can't read this blog."  Even though I don't find the content of this blog appealing, the blogger did an amazing job on organization. The blog was a basic color, easy to read, and easy to navigate. 

  I did like something about the blogs, like the weblog awards blog. I thought is was a cool concept for a blog, I even went to some of the blogs that received rewards. Beside the blog background being super dull, I found the random huge star on the side interesting. When I first noticed it changed for every row, I sat and moved the mouse back and forth. It is distracting. I would love for that blogger to show me how that is done.

  Don't get me wrong I enjoy going to blogs, and even if they are boring to me in some sort of way I will never have a bias comment to say about why someone shouldn't go to a blog. Everyone has different interest.

This is me ^_^

         Bonjour, I am Kierra La'Don Williams. My favorite ice cream is Mint Chocolate chip, and the way to my heart is music and chocolate. I am half a vegetarian, trying my hardest to stop eating beef. I am a very outgoing person, I love everybody, most people say I'm quiet until they hangout with me. Which gets me to the point that I love hanging out with my friends in my free time, I love organizing my music on iTunes ( I hate a sloppy music Library, huge pet-peeve), I like to read old English literature, I love getting tattoos ( I have twenty-five), I love singing 80's musics, preferably Madonna in the shower, and I love listening to music. I also love to dance any type, but for this semester I am focusing more on ballet, jazz, and tap. 
       Even though my favorite is modern dance. I plan to be an international prima ballerina while at the same times being a professional modern dancer. I also want to teach dance, and I want to be at a professional level in ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, modern, contemporary, ballroom, and hip-hop. My biggest inspirations for dance are Andrea Hashim, Martha Graham, Kenny Jezek, Gene Kelly, Fred Astraire, Rebecca Rabideau, Poloma Herrera, George Balanchine, the Sugar Plum Fairy, Marius Petipa, the Ballet Russes, and Tchaikovsky. Just to mention a few.
        For my time at GCC right now I want intake any information that is valuable to my career, I have magnificent dance instructors and dance family with amazing backgrounds so I will be set on that. I too want to become part of the school's dance company, Verve; this is my ultimate short term goal besides getting in better shape. After attending GCC my plans are to hopefully keep training in ballet and modern dance at U of A, and after maybe two years I want to go train in a Russian school of ballet. Whenever, I decide to take a break from dancing I want to be a professor dance instructor and own my own  dance company. I also want to major in psychology so I can go more into dance therapy, so that I can contribute my own modern dance technique.
