Reflections on Blogger

I like blogging every Monday because it takes up a little class time and its not that hard to do.  I only blogged when I was told to because I wouldn't do something if I didn't have to and didn't give me points.  I do think I could keep my blog going because I am somewhat of a good writer.  People who blog for money I think it is cool, but you also have to be like a really good blogger and have a great imagination.  Besides my own, I read Dereks to help him with his grammatic problems and thats about it.  What I liked about blogger is that it took up a little class time and it wasn't that hard to do most of the time.  What I disliked about blogger was some of the topics that we had to write about. 

National Egg Day

I will prepare by going to buy eggs from the store I guess and make them tomorrow for supper or something.  Yes I like eggs, I eat scrambled the most though.  I eat eggs about two times a week.  My favorite dish is chicken, toast, and eggs along with that.  I don't think egg day is that silly of a holiday because eggs are used in a variety of ways. 

National Month for ???

I think people decided to set up months to celebrate unusual things so people can recognize things that they wouldn't usually think of and celebrate what ever that month is for.  I think some people do and some people do not depending on who it is.  Memorial day, cinco de mayo, and spring.  The other holiday I would like to celebrate in May is I dont know.  I can't think of nothing else that we could possibly choose to celebrate this month so I don't know.

Topic of your Choice

In this blog I am gonna type about Spirit Wars on Friday.  Spirit Wars on Friday was horrible because I had D block and I had to sit in 1 room for 7 hours with Ms. Brackney and it was really frustrating.  And the wooden stools in Mr Frasles lab (chairs that D block students had to sit in) hurt my butt which made it more frustrating.  The reason I got D block was because I missed the day everybody signed up for the events and after all them I got to pick from what was left.  I didn't like any of them so I refused to do them so Lori Beekel gave me D block.  Never again will I refuse to do an event for Spirit Wars.

Violence on TV

I think the amount of violence on TV is great because it provides entertainment for people who are looking to watch comedy shows.  There is not too much violence in TV.  I think there needs to more violence on TV because if there was that TV shows ratings would go up because people like violence.  I don't think they should be on at a certain time because kids now days have probably seen much worse than violence.  Just ask the little kids that get iPhones when they're 7.  They more than likely look up much worse things than violence.  Yes I do watch violent TV shows.  All the time.  TV shows have so much violence because thats what people want to watch now days and it entertains people.  The show I chose in which I thought has violence in it is South Park.  This show is more funny that it is violent, but at times, it can be really violent.  The age that would be appropriate to watch South Park would be about 15 or 16. Or whenever your mom just doesn't care what you watch.  That's how I started watching it.

Cinco de Mayo is the day that Mexicans celebrate their heritage and have a good time with their family's.  This day is celebrated because when the spanish beat the French in some war I guess the Mexicans got their independence or something.  All Mexicans and Latino's should celebrate this day.  No it should not become a national holiday because it's only a holiday meant for Mexicans only. 

I don't know who decided that National "No Homework Day" but if today is no homework day I got screwed because I have biology homework.  Someone needs to tell Mr Frasle that.  I plan on spending National "NO Homework Day" by doing homework tonight.  Sounds wierd, but its really gonna happen.

Prom

I think going to prom is stupid.  I think it is stupid because you go to the school for it so theres way too many teachers and old people you know and you should go some where else for the prom not at your own school.  I didn't go to this years prom so I don't have any thoughts about it.  It is never important to go to prom even if it is your senior year.  All you do is dance and stupid stuff like that.  I don't know what after prom is so I couldn't really tell you anything about that.

Earth Day

Earth Day really means nothing to me because nobody in my family or me celebrate Earth Day.  I may have participated in some type of Earth Day celebration when I was in Elementary School or something, but that would be really the only time I have ever celebrated Earth Day.  3 facts about Earth Day I didn't already know are: 

* Earth Day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin who wanted to respond to an oil spill off Santa Barbara, California. President Bill Clinton awarded Sen. Nelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1995 for his role as Earth Day founder.

* The first Earth Day got a lot of attention when more than 20 million people participated and by the end of 1970, Congress authorized the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

* Although Earth Day originated in the United States, it went global in 1990 with 140 countries participating. In 2000, more than 180 countries participated.

The kind of things we should do to celebrate this day is to properly recycle things and plant trees just to name a few.

Spring Break

The day from spring break that I am picking is Saturday.  I choose Saturday because I was in Kentucky and that day I got to see my great grandma along with my grandma and uncle.  Later on that day I went back to my grandma's house because thats where me and my family were staying because she has a huge house.  And after that we ordered pizza and ate their and then watched the NASCAR races with my dad in the basement.

Topic of Your Choice

What I am going to blog about today is basketball.  Especially the Michigan vs Texas game.  That game was really exciting for me because I am a Michigan fan and they lead pretty much the whole way.  Later on in the game Texas started making a run on Michigan in the second half but when they did, Michigan started draining the 3's like they were earlier in the game.  Nik Stauskas and Caris LeVert led the team in points and also Jordan Morgan who is a boss on the inside at slam dunks and layups.  Michigan is going to the sweet 16 for like the 5th straight time or something like that.  The next game they play is going to be Tennessee on Friday and I expect that they will beat them because Michigan has more talented players on their team.

Cheaters Never Win

If I saw a friend cheating I would probably do nothing.  I would do nothing because I am not a snitch and certainly wouldn't tell on one of my friends.  Even if they were cheating because I would cheat too if I got the chance because school is hard.

Photography Composition

 

I think this is a special picture because they went back to the picture and edited it to make it look more cooler by putting more lightness in the background and making things look clearer.  Expecially what they did with the reflection part on the ground of that tower. 

Testing, testing, testing

 I feel that it is good because you need to know stuff when your younger rather than your older because you learn alot more stuff when your older.  I think education does rely too heavily of testing rather than just homework and other projects.  If there werent any tests I would be fine with that because it would take a lot of stress off of a lot of students.  Teachers would have grasped their topic by seeing how well you do on homework and giving shorter quizes that are worth a little more than regular homework problems.  I think that the standardized tests are stupid mainly because I don't like taking more tests than I already have to.  There can be a 'fair' standard test for everyone by just shortening the questions and lowering the points to take the stress off of kids.  I have done okay on those tests but I definantly don't like taking them.  I believe they have a good point because kids can do really good on homework and then just flunk the tests just because of how much stress teachers put on kids these days.  Mrs. Vontroba is a PERFECT example.

Top Four

The four things that are most important to me are football, family, my dog and the fourth one is still undecided because I can't think of another one at the moment.  Football is important to me because I have played it and followed it ever since I knew what it was.  Family is important to me because they're some of the only people I can trust besides a few other friends.  And my dog is important to me because he is the last animal I have left as of right now and he's one of my best friends.

Popular Presidents

The president I believe had the greatest impact was John F. Kennedy.  I believe JFK had the greatest
impact because he gets alot of publicity and people that were alive back then say he was the greatest president so I'm just saying JFK off of what people of that age told me.  The hardest thing about being the president I would say is making the right decisions that will make the people of the U.S happy.  I would never run for president so I can't think of a campaign pitch. 

I want out of here

I wouldn't want to far from here, but I'd rather be up north instead of down here in the lower peninsula of Michigan.  I'd rather be in the Upper Peninsula because people are more laid back up there, it has some of the best spots to go hunting up there if you own land, and it gets much colder up there than it does down here. 

Bug Out

If I were an insect, I would be a turantula.  I would be a turantula because no one would want to come near me because they know I'll bite them if they do.  And I could boss the other insects around and eat them if they don't obey me.

Final Exam

One of the tools that we have used in Exploring Technology that I think I will be able to use after graduating from high school is photoshop.  Maybe if a become a professional photographer one day I could use photoshop to take stuff out of the picture that I don't want to be there.  One way I could use this tool is to cut any people out of a picture that I didn't want in there.  Another way I could use this tool is to maybe take away any unwanted grass from sports balls that are lying on the ground like we did in Exploring Tech.  That's all the ways I can think of right now.  Of the listed tools, I would probably never use RSS again because it's just too difficult for me and the last RSS project I did didn't go too well on finding the stuff I needed.

Vacation Time

My time off was great!  I enjoyed the three weeks we got off of school because it allowed me to sleep in more than usual so I was certainly ready to come back to school after that long break.  I spent some time with family during christmas time and all the kids opened presents.  It was a fun time.  No I did not make any new year resolutions.  I loved all the snow days like I said previously it allowed me to sleep in on days that I thought I would be going to school.
