 I love to watch movies, so I don’t always remember what movies I’ve seen or not unless they’re really, really good or really bad. Movies are the best way to share art with others because they reach everyone and make people happy. When I leave a movie, I want to leave with something to either think about or talk about that is what makes a movie become one of my favorites. I have seen a lot of movies that are so forgettable and average, those movies although I sometimes enjoy them are not my favorites. I have a variety of genres for my favorites, but I think the biggest one has to be romantic comedy. Although I hate predictable movies, I always love to watch cheesy love story movies. One of my favorite movies of all is The Notebook, I think it’s one of the best movies ever, has great actors and I really could not predict the ending the first time I saw it.  On another genre, Iron man, The Dark Knight, and 300 are my favorite action movies. I think the special effects are the reason I like these movies. One other movie that I like is the Breakfast Club; it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I have watched it so many times but it never gets old or boring, it a great movie. I think the reason old movies remain favorites differs for every person. For me sometimes it matters when and who I watched a movie whether it remains one of my favorites or not. So memories we associate with different movies are why we have favorites that don’t change over time.

Money quickly dissolves to stupidity

She slowly mix alcohol next dropped ice chips

He intelligent masculine luckily dance,

Seemingly, endlessly looked

She slowly step peacefully glanced

Cars flowers beautiful over sun

Magic turtles rings under circus

Pure green, shiny washing machine glides beneath

Look scrumptious cream fanta

Strut rambunctiously, listen, look Texas guns.

Since the beginning of this class and since we started blogging about different things and I have mixed feelings about it. I like the fact I get to express my feelings and opinions about different subjects, but I don’t like the fact that there are so many in a certain amount of time. I definitely think it is a great way to show others your opinions and feelings on certain topics or subjects. But I think having deadlines and selected topics for each  blog made it more difficult and less enjoyable for me personally. The fact is that blogging is time consuming and needs time set aside among the many other things we all have to do. Since it is a summer class I think the deadlines were too close together and we had less time to actually enjoy sharing our feelings and opinions as well as reading bloggs about them selves.  I have learned a lot about other students from these blogs, it is a great way to get to know people in a more convenient way. It has been interesting reading and getting to know other people through. To be honest, I don’t know if i will keep up with my blogsafter this summer class is over. As interesting as it has been writing and reading blogs, it takes a lot of time and also effort, and I have a feeling without having a motivation like a grade I don’t see my self sitting down and doing blogs.

I would definitely say I am the least creative person I know, I am not much of a painter, artist, singer or anything close to that. When i was younger I was told that I  use to draw, and paint but as i got older I noticed how bad my art was so I stopped.  The last time i drew, or painted or anything like that was in an art class and only becasue it was a grade. Without art class I don’t think I would have ever painted.  Drawing is the skill i have alwaysbeen jealous of, it seems like an easy and fun way to express your feelings without having to use words. Also drawings or paintings  are very pretty to look at and a great way to decorate homes or offices and and any place. The way I express my creative side, which is very,very, small  is through writing. I am not the best writer in the world, but it’s the only way i can express my self.  I love to read poetry, and books/journals with different messages when I am in different moods.  So it has been a while since I painted or drew because well I am not good at it, and I don’t have time to spare.  One way I  think i can bring creativity and art to my life is by being around more people who do the same thing. Or by making actual effort and time into finding different ways to express my creative side.

I have never been good with stress and I definitely don’t know how to handle it in a good and healthy way. Most of the time when something is stressing me out and I can’t seem to resolve it, I let it go. What ever it is, I guess I give up and let nature take its course. If it is school, I don’t give up that easy but after a while, I have a way of convincing my self that it is just not worth it to stress my self that much. If my stress is coming from something other than school, I always, always talk to my best friend. No matter what it may be I always feel better knowing or hearing what they think on how I should handle the situation. My friends I think know me better than anyone so they would know if I am making the right decision. It’s always good to get insight from a different perspective on a situation. There are times or situations where I ask my parents for advice. As different as we are, and most of the time I see a different solution and outcome for problems, they always know how to make me feel better.  I guess that is the gift they have as parents, no matter how mad, or disappointed or angry with you they are for what you did, they will always help you make the right decision. So those are the steps I usually go through to handle stress because I can’t deal with stress alone in a healthy way.

well it has only been one month since the start of this semester so I can’t say i have had some major change or accomplished something in the time. But since the beginning of the year I would say that I have improved as a student, and person overall. In February of  this year I became one year older and I would like to think wiser also. The last semester, Spring was one of the hardest and busiest semester I have ever had but  I was very happy with my grades at the end. Taking a few of the hardest classes i have yet to have, I was shocked that I did not completely fail. I would say that is the goal I wanted but didn’t think I could but I did.  I would say that I have become more confident since the year started, it’s not something that happened overnight or at once but overtime as I grew up.I would also say that i have become stronger, I can’t really explain how or why I think this other than I just do. The one way that I would say that  I have regressed is that I am still a procrastinator. I know that is my biggest weakness, I always wait until the last minute to do anything because I really think that is when I do my best work. But I am trying to improve and do everything in a timely and effective way.  Overall I think that I have improved over time and hopefully will continue to.

I read a blog from time magazine about the death of  the king of pop Michael Jackson. The blog’s title is “Michael Jackson becomes motown’s latest fallen hero.”  It discusses the case and history of Michael Jackson’s music as well as impact on the music industry. Michael Jackson had the title of the King of Pop which he gave himself.  The world of music would have never been the same with out him and now with his passing people are giving recognition to his music.Michael Jackson died after failure to resuscitate  him after having cardiac arrest at the age of fifty. He started his music career as a member of the group The Jackson 5 along with his four brothers. After years of preforming with his brothers, Michael left Motown in the year 1979. Michael Jackson is one of the best selling musicians of all time with a total of 750 million records/Cd’s sold overtime.

The music world is mourning the loss of one of its most influential and powerful members. The death of the King of pop has united musicians, and artist alike. These blogs are a way for the people to connect to others out there who are effected by his passing. In this case it is a way of mourning and sharing their emotions. The death of Michael Jackson has caughteveryone by surprise and it in a way brought them together.  Whether they are fans or supporters of the artist or not, this shocking news has united the world by the one thing that always seem to unite them, music.

for this blog we were supposed to read a blog by another student and see if we could relate. I decided to read more than one blog. I think that it’s interesting to learn about others, learning the differences and as well as what you may have in common with them. I read a few blogs from students in both classes. There are very great writers in these classes, and people are very open about their feelings and opinions. One blog about self destructionI thought was the most revealing and personal. I read one where the person was talking about how they lose control of their anger at points where everything turns into a flash. I can relate to this person because I have had days where I lose it for a few minutes. I was a little surprised to see how many people were honest about their regrets (if only). I noticed that i could understand and relate to the events or decisions they regret.

I also found out after reading the blog about the sound track to our lives, that I liked the songs that most of the students chose. Also that they have remembered songs I use to listen to but forgotten and came up with great songs to fit each category. Blogging is a great way to reach others and connect to people you would not normally come in contact with. That is what this blog did, it connected us to students we might normally connect to or even come in contact with.

I had never seen this movie before, it never seemed to catch my attention. I how ever have heard of it because it is of course award winning. I thought this movie had great actors and a good script for the time. I found it hard to watch because it was old and I could not relate to anyone. It did have a good lesson, and I think that was the point of the movie it self. I know the movie is old but it was not very creative.The theme and central seem drawn out and average. This could be because i have seen many movies that have been made better. The movie in general was long and never ending.

The movie had no special effects, i guess it wouldn’t need it because the movie had nothing to use it on. The acting was the best thing about the movie. The relationship between the main actress and her driver is rough.  She first judges him and assumes he would be a bad person. But she learns, through her many drives  that he is not the person he thought he would be. the main lesson is don’t judge a book by its cover or  a person by the color of their skin. I think this movie was innovative for the time. But judging from the improvements in technology would have made this movie even better. Overall this movie was average at best. it was also predictable because the theme had been used so many times.

Waking up: lets get it started by Black Eyed peas- it was my alarm for so long, and it’s one of the few songs that actually wakes me up.
