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.
