Everything is a remix is a pretty interesting series of videos that basicaly shows how "everything is a remix." From Movies to Songs to just about everything has a source material that it is derived from. It makes sense the way the guy from the video explained everything, and he backs up everything he said with information. One thing that caught my attention was when he said "Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb", and I thought to myself "ya right, everyone learned that he did that when we were elementary school." But he went on to say that he was the first one to make it efficient. It was a good way to back up his theory that everything is based on a former idea and then expanded.

Falling Behind

It has been 11 weeks since I started college, and although I feel like I have been doing a good job, my grades are not good enough to show for it. I am starting to fall behind and it is hard to catch back up. Between college, work, and my social life it is really hard to keep on top of it all, but i am not going to give up yet. I will try to put a little more effort in my work, and bump my grades up to at least a "B".

A witch, Santa Claus, and the easter bunny break into a museam. What Happens? They all have a planned objective. To steal precious items. The only problem is that the witch is greedy, and wants it all for herself. In the middle of the heist she sounds the alarm, and sneakily backs away from her two partners with all the loot. Santa Clause goes through a nearby antique chimny (a replica of the one found in Paul Bunyan's house), and the Easter Bunny digs a hole in middle of the room, and tunnels his way under the mueseam. Their objective changed from getting money, to getting back at the witch. Meanwhile the witch is on her broom flying away with a big sack in the middle of a blizzard. She's as joyous as ever because not only did she dupe Santa Claus, but she got rich off of it to. Her happiness was short lived however because she was blind sided by one of Santa's reindeer. This sent her plummeting to the ground. Santa followed her down, and they had an all out brawl. After the fight, which was short lived, Santa went to claim his reward to find that it was missing. It had just vanished. In the midst of the battle the Easter Bunny snatched the bag and ran away.

CPT 1250

CPT 1250 is a class im taking that basicaly shows us the basics of a lot of the microsoft office software. Although a lot of the work we do is cake work (microsoft word, and powerpoint), it does have its down side to being complicated due to microsoft office and access. We are about half way done with the class, and so far it has not been too bad. We have done microsoft word and microsoft excel, but we are rounding into microsoft access which is the hardest of the four. Im typing before the first class for access, and im a bit nervous to see how the next few weeks are going to look.

Jason Vorheese was a little kid when he drowned at crystal lake. Now hes a mindless killing machine who's out to kill teenagers, because teenagers killed his mother. Crystal lake used to be a popular camping spot, and although it still attracts a lot of young campers, many of those campers do not leave. I happen to be on of those campers that got away. Two years ago I went camping with some friends, and things were going fine until we noticed that people started to disappearing one by one. this happened until there were only three of us left. We hunkered down knowing that we were going to be next and came up with a strategy to get away. One of us was to be a decoy while the other two ran away to get a car. Then they were to circle around and pick up the one who was a decoy. It worked by somehow Jason became an Olympic javelin thrower and threw his machete through the back of the car and nailed the decoy in the head. My other friend and I got away safely, but we will never forget the friends that died that night.

The ex-girlfriend says "hi" but is curious with the scene of her former boyfriend and his wife. Although she already knew the answer she asks anyway "who's that?" "My wife" the man replies forcefully. The woman, although furious, holds her composure and says "I thought you weren't the marying type." The man was baffled and replies "as you can see I am, and i have been for the past five years. The wife chimes in and says "five happy years." After a very rocky and awkward confrontation the conversation takes a turn for the better, and the two former love birds swap phone numbers. They plan to get together and reminice.

Hobbies

I have a few things I like to do on my spare time. One of those things is playing pool. My parents have been on a pool team since as long as i can remember and they have taught me a few tricks to playing, and i happen to be pretty good. Another thing i like to do is go bowling. Although i do not bowl very often, I have been bowling since first grade. These are probably my two biggest hobbies, but there are also a few more that i have like playing video games and sports with my friends. These are just a few things i do on my spare time.

Bus Driver Abused

I watched a video on YouTube the other day where a bus driver had to deal with this drunk lady. She was so out of it that she was spitting and hitting the bus driver for no apparent reason. After a few minutes pulled over and started yelling back from here it escalated pretty quickly. He became outraged and uppercut her in the jaw. Then he forcibly removed her from the bus, but she was not done so she tried to run back on to the bus only to be pushed straight back off. The reason I am posting about this is because I do not think it was right of the bus driver to have hit her. Even though the woman started it there was no reason to punch her. He could have just as easily picked her up and moved her off the bus and shut the doors on her. I am not saying that it is all right to start drama with people who are working, but there were alternative options for the bus driver to deal with the women. And not only were there other options but she was a women. I do not care what she did, a guy is not supposed to hit a girl. It is not right.

Highest Free Fall Record

I was watching T.V. the other day when this live recording came on that showed a man who was about to break the world record for highest free fall ever. At first I thought this guy was a major idiot. I mean who in their right mind would jump out of a plane. I'm a chicken when it comes to heights anyway but honestly if you actually think about it, its just plain stupid, but this guy took stupidity to new heights. He jumped out of a space capsule 39 kilometers above the earth. A space capsule! Meaning in outer space. He had to have the space suit on and everything or he wouldn't have been able to breath. So in other words, he leaped out of a space capsule for the worlds highest free fall record. He even was the first man to break the sound barrier while free falling. He also attempted the longest free fall record but fell a few seconds short. His fall lasted four minutes nineteen seconds and the record is four minutes and thirty six seconds. Although he was going for these records, he is a complete and total moron for risking his life to attempt these feats.

My other classes

I am majoring in digital media, and this is my first year of school. At first I did not know what to expect but after a few weeks of school my classes turned out to be pretty easy. Although they were boring at first the turned out to be pretty fun. In my Adobe Illustrator class we are learning how to create objects from scratch. The first thing they had us do was an Ohio buckeye logo. Although i did not do very well on this, it still helped me learn how to actually work this program. I am getting better and better at designing stuff, and its kind of cool that I am starting to be able to can kind of stuff with ease.

Fight at Friends House

So I was at my friends house today and everything was going well until my friend Austin's step-dad called his sister Chelsey a bad parent. She took it very personal and started yelling back at him. After a few minutes of arguing Chelsey finally got up and went after Scott (Austin's step-dad). His mom grabbed Chelsey up and held her back. Chelsey swung around and punched his mom in the mouth and then things took a turn for the worst. After this happened Chelsey boyfriend Aaron started to pick a fight with Scott. Aaron's friend Joey started fighting with Austin's brother Jimmy. It was chaos. The police were called and everything was settled without anyone going to jail, but it's crazy how things escalate so quickly.

Parking Lot Scavengers

So I was driving around the parking lot this morning, and i had a spot picked out where i was going to park. Then out of no where this mad woman whipped her car out in front of mine and jacked my spot. At first I was mad. Then i realized this has happened just about every day i go to school. A ton of students wait to the last minute to get to school and then get mad when they can't find a parking spot. I happened to be one of these students, but instead of coming five or ten minutes earlier I don't because ordinary kids like me have a hard time changing habits, so i come to school and race other people to get to these parking spots. I've been flipped off, cursed at, and who knows what else. This is just as bad in the afternoon to when i go to my monday class at five, but during this time you will see people parked in the middle of the lane waiting on someone to pull out of their spot because they saw someone get into their car. Its pretty bad and I'm surprised that there are not very many accidents out here at rhodes.

The hall was silent while she purred until a loud bang came from the attic. She ran up to the attic to see what happened, and she found that a window was broken. She could find no cause for it. She ran outside to find the culprit who put a hole in her house but to no avail. The perpertrator was gone. Her owner came out a few moments later, and she was frightened. Not only was their a burglar on the loose, but he had already struck there home. Who knows if he will strike again. Nothing was stolen, but Ms. Cheney still reported the robbery just like any other person would. The police said they would stake out her house for a couple of nights but thats the most they could do. Ms. Cheney was displeased. "How could the police just let a burglar get away" Ms. Cheney thought. She went back in the house, and went back to sleep. Outside in the bushes was a dark sillouhete of a man. Then he vanished.

What pushed me to college

About a year before college I was working at P&G for the sheet metal union out of Dayton, Oh. I was pushed into the job by my parents because it was a good paying job and they knew a few foremen, so it was  a cake job that payed well. All I did was sit around and watch people work and i made twelve twelve an hour. If i would have stuck with it for five years I would have been making twenty five dollars an hour although I would have been the one being watched working. I went three months working out a P&G until i had an accident. I was drilling a hole in a quarter inch thick piece of metal when the drill caught onto a bolt on the other side of the metal. It was jerked out of my hand, and spun around, and hit me in the mouth. There was blood everywhere, and I thought I completely lost my tooth. Luckily it only chipped my tooth in half, but I still had to get nine stitches in my bottom lip. After this freak accident I worked this job for another week until i finally quit. I no longer wanted to be anywhere near a construction site and I did not want to work for a gas station or a fast food restaurant. Although I did not want to go back to school. The fear of having a dead-end job pushed me in that direction. Four months after my accident I went to Rhodes State and did the "one stop" promotion. Although the financial aid gave me and my family a headache we got everything done and I started school the following fall.

A high liter, what fun those used to be in high school. Sitting throught all those dull courses in those musty rooms. taking notes while your arms are sticking to the paper. Highlighting the key points with a high liter. Although it was not the biggest neccesity in school itas important if someone didnt want to waste a lot of time studying. A highlighter was a tool used by those who wanted to succeed, and was foreign to those who took everything too lightly. Like those people who use the high liter, I want to succeed. I want to succed not only in school but in life.

Im not "afraid" of writing im just not very "enthusiastic" or "motivated". I dont know exactly "why" I am not motivated it may because when I was a kid my parents were not very enthused with what I did. The way I plan on getting through this "lack of motivation" is to strive for a good grade in this class and to remember that this class is helping me on a road to a life that I will be leading. One way to be creative is to be in depth with what I am writing, I will try not to leave out any detail and push the reader in to being in the story not only as a reader but as a character in the story.

What Happened Today

School today was okay. Started off really bad though when Prof. Piro gave us an assignment to do that I wasn't able to read due to not having my book until Monday, but i was able to pull through and get it done. I also made my blogger account in writing class. Then came my Illustrator class, not gonna lie but i about fell asleep. The stuff we learned today you could teach to a kinda-gardener. It was so dull and boring, all it was is the interface and the tool bar, that's all we learned and it still took 2 hours. After that i came home to relax, which didn't happen. My brother came home and instantly started to fight with my sister about getting on the computer. I kinda thought it was funny but at the same time annoying because you cant relax while watching T.V., but they eventually stopped. (Having younger siblings isn't very enjoying, people always say "Oh i would love to have a little brother or sister" and all i do is shake my head. They don't know how big of a nuisance they can be, like this one time, my brother flicked a penny at me, broke the glass on our stove, and i had to pay for it because hes to young to have a job and i had one. They're just a big headache.) Couple hours later my brother and I went to watch the Bath vs Defiance football game even though I'm not a huge fan of football it was still kinda nice to get outside the house for a while. Well except for my skipping a few very very small details that is basically how my day went.
