Video Game addiction
The cyber world has become a thing of the future, people meeting and greeting all over the world. Becoming friends even though they have never been aquatinted. One of the realms is within the world of video games. People playing live versions through the internet. One of the most popular games is Halo...the new version, Halo 3. Jenny can contest that the game is of an addicting nature. Ruling over a lot of peoples lives, very heavily in the field of relationships. Once you play you can't stay away. Although most of the relationships build are fake, some of them can lead to lasting fortunes, developing over time like an infant. The addictiveness means many hours of play, often people are doing the same thing so can interact and build the bond between you. The bond can be in a strategical manner in play and/or in knowledge of ones personal life. Where this new fad will lead is speculated but unknown. Oh...what the future may entail.

Writing styles
Writing styles post up all across the board in ingenuity, grammatical, and deliberation. Fondness for reading is unfortunately one of my greatest limitations. I have had the chance to jump into the works J.R. Tolken, one of the most genius fellows of his and our time. His style is so appealing to me for two main focuses. He formulates creativity in description, imagery, and wonder; all while he brings the similarities of home into a fantasy world. Secondly, the cultural influence he ties so neatly into his pieces from personal experiences and also historical events. Mismatching a Finish language and allowing it to influence a language he, himself, invented. Basing the fighting scenes themselves off of battle events and locations he fought in, in World War I. Inquiring his home town into the town of the Shire and the events that happened to it within the story. Every little additive seemed to have relevance; this is why I love his style. I can become one with it because it is similar to how I would like to write a book if I ever did so.

Video Clip on Advertisement
This short film makes a claim on technolgy today. Peoples uses for it and how it has negatively impacted their lives as they know it through personal accounts written on paper and flashed for viewers to read. Facts about uses in class and the distractions there, the amount of money computers cost, and how technology is supposed to be saving the human race whether its actually working or not. The beat set to the film is upbeat and dramatic as it gets your brain juices flowing in both rythme and thought. Barely enough time to read the short, handwritten phrases none the less absorb them. The variety in angles on the rise of technology seem to be aimed for a braud spectrum of people so your left thinking about the ones that touch your life personally. The Point of this clip however is to dispell that technology was supposed to make school easier but in fact gives students more of an opportunity to slack off.

Movie Blog About Advertisements
I think that this speech was strongly stated and almost a bias point of view. I absolutely support the beliefs of women equality and power(not Hillary CLinton though!). The speaker made some strong statements and had good reasoning for most of her speech but could have taken a different view on a few of the topics.
For instance, the section she brought up about the males being portrayed as the adventurous type while girls are all stand offish was kind of an iffy and opinionated. I do believe she had the evidence toward this but it wasn’t defending a strong theory. Girls enjoy the fact that they are more inteligent and better decison makers then guys, therefore naturally less adventurous. I believe this to be true, not necessarily in all cases however. I think that there are exceptions to that and also the fact that girls try in some cases to flaunt unintelligence and shy characteristics. I think the adventurous male and shy female theory is more based on actual personality traits and human normalities. That advertisements are just keying in on the facts in that situation. Again, there are exceptions. This was a strongly stated video clip but you have to pick out some of the parts and examen them for yourself to see what strikes your values.

Crime
Well seeing as I'm a pretty big fan of all the Oceans movies I would have to say they put a lot of my criminal ideas into my head because they involve comedy in a serious action that risks their lives which is how I would want to go about things as well. If I wasn't going to get caught then that would make it less of an adrenaline rush but also more of an allure, even though I don't know how that would work out cause if i was going to commit a crime it would probably be something along the lines of theft. I'm no kleptomaniac but at the same time I would want it to benefit me in the long run; I'm a person of opportunity and think that some people are blessed with better ones then others. Back to the point: if i was going to steal something, without being caught, then I would be a big deal and a beneficial robbery. Again, tying into the movie thing. It would be big, maybe not in size but value, and it would be from someone who could afford to loose it, aka an extravagantly, richie-mic-rich person. It would go down in history as one of the biggest scandals ever to occur. So what it comes down to that I would probably steel some sort of fine jewel from a Swiss bank.

Trashy Mic Trash Bag - Previous assginment
The trash bag. Ah...such a useful piece of technology that no one really takes a second to appreciate. All the hassles and time it saves. Being such a common, everyday, luxury tool tho it's just a standard in household necessities for the high pace life most everyone lives and most hate. From the mansions where the owners never think about replacing them to the slums where they're not put in trash cans because they actually serve as a trash can, being emptied in a nearby dumpster and then brought back in to be refilled.Its partner the trash CAN, are a dynamic duo in the fight against an inconvenience. So many daily issues that who has time these days to not use a trash bag? Implying they can afford them. This brings me to my next point with the fact that I called them luxury. They aren't required inside the trash can they just prevent future time wasted that could have been on something more important like Tv.Trash bags are an awesome thing though so don't be fooled! They are stretchy now so we can cram that much more in them and now they also don't even rip! OOOO...AHHHH... so spiffy! Think of what we would have to do without them! Actually deal with tones of paper pieces, dripping and oozing, smells, and carrying individual pieces to the trash instead of a ginormace heep of them. What a stress reliever they are in the end, so take a sec and give your trash bag pat on the back.

2 am in the mornin with nothin but undies!
Bam! So here you are, standing in the coffee isle trying to pick out which would make the ideal brew for your 2 a.m. drunkin-ness. Will it be the Costa Rican dark or the Fair Trade type that you read about in the world news last Sunday? Or will it even be the generic Folgers, "its a great time waking up when you have Folgers in your cup...yat yat yat," you mumble in your obscured mind. You can't think straight because those cocktails are shrouding both your thoughts and your vision. This all seems like an almost normal trip to store besides the manifesting intoxication until you notice something. A chill just crept over you and the realization that your lower half is cold do to a slight breeze. You think, "no way, this is not really happening," as you look down, your heart sinks to an embarrassing low. You are currently standing in a super market with only your underwear on! Not just any however, your super small pink, lace thong aka your favorite pair. The stun slap wears off and you recognize that you have to do something here! You attempt to stretch your long sleeve shirt over your exposed butt. Slam! Down you go! Drunk, on the ground, and in your underwear you've never felt so liable. The funny thing is that its two in the morning, the only people shopping are in isles over and there isn't many at that, just the weirdo's and people that hate crowds. You stand up with the little dignity you think you have, attempt to stretch the shirt again, and run outside to your car, hoping no one saw you. Once there you start to think of why exactly you were in that predicament in the first place....hmmm....

Garbage Truck of Negativity
I can't admit I came up with the idea behind this theory because I didn't, but I liked it enough that I thought I'd give you the down low on it because its something that has been good reference for me at times.
The thought goes like this: we all know that there are several times in our lives when people have upset us and we have upset other people in the same way. Well one way to become a better person and not let that negativity engross our everyday lives is to look at negative feed back and agree people as a garbage truck. I'm sure your telling yourself that's crazy but its just a metaphorical way to take an outlook on your surrounding people that come across in a unhappy way. If you choose to be a grouch then so be it, but if that's not what you want then you can give this a try.
This is just an easier way to look at and establish the bad mood setting situations. Once you have reached that state of recognition, then you can package it as a garbage truck and make what you want of it. Whether you choose to let it affect your mood is entirely up to you. But if you want to be a more happy-go-lucky kinda person then you can us the garbage truck outlook and dump that negative waste off to the side and move on. For example, a lot of people have issues and conflicts with driving on a regular basis, or just now and then. Well if you take that persons negativity that just swerved and cut you off and label it a trash truck and then dispose of it and not ride their ass or flash inappropriate hand gestures then it won't ruin your day. If you don't let things bother you then you wont have such a problem with passing that onto other people and therefor you have formed a more peaceful world. This doesn't mean you can't use helping tools in snuffing out the anger, such as calm music, it's just a way to label it. I hope you remember this theory and try if out sometime on something that used to anger your emotions.

Friends
Friends are a funny thing, both literally and metaphorically. They aren't always humorous however. There are several different types of friends out there just as there are billions of different personality variations. In fact that's why friendships vary from person to person. Many different people approach situations and friendships similarly and agree how a friend should act or react but none can be exactly the same. This would be most easily expressed through examples so here they are!
Some people have allot of friends but none those are real quality and some people have very few friends that are everything to that person. Some people have a mix of really great and amazing friends while there's also people out there that would be glad to claim they have zero physical friends. Personality is how this is deciphered I would wager. Now, when I say physical I mean the type that you can shake their hand. This brings me to the fact of how there are also those "imaginary" friend, online friends, pen pal friends, alien friends, fantasy friends, and so many more. That is a whole other story that I'll save for another day.
Today I'm gonna talk briefly about the kind of friends I've had or currently have or have known people to have/had. To start of I'll talk about the notorious "Best" Friend, the BFF, or whatever you want to calm them. The point of this lable is to justify and classify those friends that know the most important and classified things about you. The ones you trust and would do anything. The one(s) that you'll most likely keep in touch for the greatest duration of time. The next type of friend is the kind you randomly make though work or your neighbors and you spend alot of time together then move or quit and you never really see each other again. Then theres the people you meet and really hit it off with and are close friends with for the rest of your life. Then theres the ones that your really good friends with and something happens and you grow apart, sometimes forever and sometimes for a couple years , who knows. Theres all kinds of types of friends out there and alotta the time they're like anything else, they are what you make of them.

3rd Room From The Left Above And To The South Of The LARC
Entering into the opaque room a round table with four chairs allures you to sit and feel one with the solitude. This is no ordinary table however, its a laminated table that is made to appear as a lightly stained oak. The chairs surrounding it are of two different styles. Two of them are a light wood with turquoise cloth and the other two are metal with two different color pads, grey and maroon. The question of which to sit in is next, the one with the view out the window is chosen. The windows are mainly in the southwest corner but every side of the room has at least one window, creating a relaxing feeling of awareness. The window sills are a brushed chrome which accents the outlets and light switches perfectly in an exact match. The walls are a plain white with a graphite grey trim along the bottom, simple so there is no distractions. A desert red carpet matches the maroon chair except it has a diamond pattern unlike the sitting utensil. Things seem to correlate in the room making it easy get down to business. The sounds of forced air creep down from above and a slight buzz comes from an unknown source. A boring sequence of square tiles accompany two light sources, a detector, and the air vent above. All of this coming together in an organized fashion.
The uniqueness comes in through the windows. The lack in interest within the room makes picking your brain possible while the view out the window is enough to entertain an brain lacking training. The details out the window are forever the same but always changing. The land scape is practically permanent but the people and their cars along with the seasons change. Tennis takes place in the courts down and to the left. The main entrance walk-way decents from the uniformly, slotted parking to the south. The room has what you need for your school studies.

Tats
Tatoos are and always have been and will be a unique body manipulation. They may be a generic form or an entire body layout of someones life. It depends on what they choose. I say they because I am not really the type suited for one. I think that they are an amazing way to express ones self and have no judgement what-so-ever on people with them I have just chose not to get one as of now. They may be in my future but never something as simple as a tribal design because I would require creativity in order to do something so permanent. The fact that most of them are life-lasting is one of the biggest draw backs for me. I avoid things that would possibly bring remorse because regret is something i think everyone should try to live without if possible. I have heard of a new tatoo ink that can be removed with a certain type of light making it not permant which would be interesting and entreguing for me to look into. But with that you also have issues with quality because sunlight would also destroy its appearance and I'm very outdoor oriented so sun is something I deal with alot. Theres also the fact of how so many people have them, not the same one but the general idea. None the less I love the history, designs, significance, appearance, and all that go with tatoos.
Piercings are a whole nother story and ball game. They are nearly as permanent in some locations which is again a draw back for me because those are some of the only places I would concider getting one. Another large issue I would have is that with my dad and all of my community where I was raised aren't really accepting of that sort of thing. That wouldn't stop me because i believe in being yourself no matter what but its just a factor. I don't think that piercings are as unique as tats but at the same time a flashy touch that works for some people.

Cellur Vs. Home Phonage
I put in the verse but actually just want to talk about how the cell phone has takin over and why. How it has become one of, if not the best tool for communication in the Americas. Not meaning that everyone in the world has one because in that sense, the internet is a more common tool for globalization.
The home phone is handy and a more reliable connection to other tellaphones. More often then not, however, the phone you call from the land line is a cellular connection therefore leaving room for that elusive "dropped call" or bad reception. Then again, the cell service is improving all over the place with newer and more high tech towers. Now on an environmental level I think the fewer the towers the better but thats another story. Back to the land line, this tool is again a great connection when you use it but that is ONLY from a home, office, yatta yatta yatta right? Well in this day and age, time is everything and this means you need to be able to put in work no matter where. This is when the cell becomes ideal, mobal communication. What do you think about cell phones?

Text in variation
When we think about text in different forms we can think of thousands and trilians of different posibilities but what is correct text is a different story. If we put a definition on the term then our creativity is somewhat dampened. Our immediate thought of the actual form of text is writing but is actually expressed in different ways such as tv, internet, speach, and so many more. When I sat down to think about the diverse forms of text I run into on a daily basis I had to sit for awhile and ponder. I looked around the LARC and discovered enough right then and there. I looked at the signs above doors that lead people to their destinations, the flyers on the doors below the signs that entailed events upcoming in that specific office, and then the name tags next to the door that gave the name of the main occupant that would help your future inquiry. Not only were there signs present but there was also many conversations both via the internet and formally between people. Conversations that seemed to bring joy and anger which brought to my attention that text can evoke feelings and thoughts you may not have run into before you encountered them. This simple think-session put text into another demension for me and was only experimented in one location, imagine somewhere busy like a street corner!
