Wierd Ebay

When I was looking through ebay to find something weird, i stumbled upon a genuine pair of "Used" Unicorn balls. These balls are a steal starting at only $0.99 . I thought this was really funny because of its originality, and because of its additional notes. Some of those notes are "Sorry, ball sack not included!" and "The description is a little off. These Unicorns are were actually a little more endowed than I originally led you to believe. These Unicorn balls are 11mm in diameter not in circumference." I thought it was hilarious that someone actually came up with something so different.

Reaction to "Once"/Video Use

I liked watching the movie "Once" in class quite a bit. The movie was really good overall, except for a couple parts where it did get a little slow. But, I did think that it was a very good representation of looking at a personal biography. I thought that Once was also a good choice in movies, because I had no idea that it was ever made, and so there was probably a pretty low chance that alot of people had already seen it.
Some things that I did like about watching the videos in class were that they all were relevant to what we were doing, and they actually gave me some ideas on what could be some possible topics. Along with that, the movies also gave me different ways to go about portraying that topic. The only thing that bugged me about watching the movies in class was that it is ungodly hot in here, and movie days were days that we ended up staying longer than ususal.

Favorite Toy

The favorite toy that I had when I was a kid were any and all Power Rangers toys. My friends and I, and just about the rest of the country were infatuated with that show. I remember getting only Power Rangers toys for about 2 Christmases, so now I'm fairly sure that I have every single toy imaginable. Until they started changing some of the shows, that was just about all I would watch because most days we would all be outside from sunup until bedtime.
I actually watched a few of the episodes a couple weeks ago, and looking back I forgot how corny the show really was, but I still love it. Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles will never get old to me, because those are some of the greatest shows ever created, and I don't care what anyone else says about it, they were part of my childhood so they are part of me.

TV Show

Hands down, the best show ever created is "Entourage". The show is on HBO, and is about a movie star in Hollywood with his best friends from New York. One of his friends is his manager, another is his driver, and his brother is his cook. The show is hilarious, and it will seem like you have been sucked into another world. So far, there have been four seasons, and Mitch and I have seen every single episode at least 5 imes.
Marky Mark, or Mark Whalburg, is the producer and creator of the show. The show has gained tons of viewers over the last couple years, and is becoming hugely successful. There has been promised to be roughly 8 or 9 years, so there are at least 4 seasons left to begin watching and instantly fall in love with it.

Extreme emotion

Honestly, I can't remember the last time that I have been super excited or super angry/sad about anything. I guess the only thing that I can really think of is about coming here to Mankato. I was really nervous about coming here because I knew absolutely nobody before I came. I ended up getting really lucky and got a really cool roomate (Mitch), and all of his friends have been really cool to me too, so I can't complain about anything. That was my biggest concern about going to college, because I knew a ton of people in Sioux City, and coming here, I had to start completely over. I guess in a way it wasn't that bad, because I could be whoever I want to, but I didn't end up changing hardly anything.

Advertising Perspectives

When I am watching t.v. I will sometimes watch the commercials. When I stop and actually watch them, I love seeing the funny ones. And some of them I will never get tired of, even if I have seen them 1,000 times. Some of my favorites are the Budweiser commercials, because they always manage to come out with something new. They have had everything from the frogs, ferrets, Real Men of Genius, and the super powers.
Sometimes if the commercial is really good, and the product isn't too expensive, I might actually give a try. Most of the time however, I don't pay too much attention to most of the commercials just because the majority of them are way too informal or they try too hard to be funny, and those are the commercials that I will definitely change the channel on.

Obama Speech/MLK Jr Letter

Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter from inside Birmingham jail provided a great insight to what injustices non-white Americans faced on a day to day basis. The struggles that MLK Jr. describes are heart wrenching, like trying to explain to your children why all the white people are treating them so cruelly. Something that I found very intereasting was that he believed that the white churches would do the right thing and support his movement, but turned out that many of the churches were either against him outright, or even if they did agree with his views, they didn't do anything about it and just kept quiet.
Barack Obama's "More Perfect Union" speech has given me a much better idea on where he comes from and what he is all about. Obama has stated that he has relatives of many different races and colors, and says that the United States is the only place that this could have ever been possible. At the same time, he is says that Dr. King's dream is not yet completed because there is still racial discrimination in America. Another part that I found intereasting in his speech was his conclusion, where he told a story about a woman named Ashley who had a very inspiring story on why she was supporting Barack, and when she went around the room asking everyone else why they were there supporting, she got to a man who said that he was there because of Ashley. That story really proves that if you have great faith, and are willing to do something truley good to benefit someone else, people will see through to that and follow your greatness.
There are many things that MLK and Obama have in common, but one of the biggest similarities between the two is their Christian faith. That faith has done wonders for MLK, by helping him take a nonviolent approach to ending segregation. It helped him not fight back when the police would imprison him for bogus charges, and when people would criticize and even physically hurt him. That faith has also been great for Obama by helping him gain the strength to take a stand and keep him on track.
Another stance that they both shared was trying to totally equalize the black and white communities. Obviously, MLK Jr's equality was much harder to gain, because he was at the center of the civil rights movement, and at the time America was much more narrow minded than it is today. Obama stated that even though we have made great strides since MLK, we still are not done yet, being that still to this day, some formerly segregated schools that relmain predominately black/white and the black schools have been, and will continue to be infirior to the facilities in the white schools.
