blog wk 13 REVIEW TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

hello everyone, this weeks assignment asks for us to review what ever subject we wish to review. I am so exited about writing this blog entry because I have so many things I want to review. I guess I will begin by reviewing my favorite band's new album, Light me up,  just went on sale this past Tuesday. Their name is The Pretty Reckless and they are a band with a hart and soul of rock legends. The lead singer is non other than notorious celebutant Taylor Momsen who appears to be better know by her choice of outerwear than her vocal talent. The band has a very 90s' rock edge with a more contemporary sound. So far they have tour all across the country and are currently touring world wide to locations such as London and Paris. As of right now my favorite tracks from their album would have to be Since your gone, a song about a break up that gives new meaning to moving on and My medicine a song with hard driven rock tunes and use of vivid descriptions. I encourage everyone to look up The Pretty Reckless and to give their record a chance.

The next subject I would like to review is a member of the fashion world who is turning heads with his chiseled jaw and striking good features and is creating controversy over his gender role. Andrej Pejic has become a fast a fashion icon in his own right. His female facial appearance has made him the go to model and the definition of androgyny. Pejic has walked in both male and female fashion shows for international fashion designer John Paul Gaultier and is now the face of the spring/ summer of 2011 collection of American designer Mark Jacobs. As for Andrej he appears to be very aware that his good looks may only take him so far and that one day he might be out as fast as he was in.

How has Fast Food Nation Changed my life Post #12

We are more than half way through the semester and reading Fast Food Nation has been a very interesting experience to say the least. I believe my appetite for red meat and poultry has changed gradually. Before reading the book I had viewed various videos on the subject and had experimented with eating almost no meat except for fish for over six months. It was a realization of what a big part meat plays in my life. For every five meals my mother made for dinner, four contained meet. I became excluded from a lot of family gatherings because of the rejection my family felt from not eating their food. I made an attempt to return to eating meet and it was far from pretty. Thanks giving came and the turkey was sitting on the table. My mother quickly gave me a strong gaze like, "You better eat some meat or else..." type of look. I cave and ate the sacrificed bird. I vomited throughout the whole week. I had lost the lipids that would digest meat so my body became very strange to consuming such food. I eventually recovered those lipids and was able to continue eating meat as a "social recreation." I became disappointed to having caved so easily into the meat temptation, but I also believe that according to the environment you live in will ultimately determine the success of becoming a vegetarian or a person with low consumtion of meet.

Blog #11 truths and semester news

I am so thankful for all the people who commented on my blog. I have to admit that while numbers 2 through 5 where pretty convincing the truth is, as most of you guessed, number one. Yes, I know how did big clueless mouth me get in an almost fatal car accident. Well I was 9 and truly clueless as far as crossing the street. Moving on, this semester has been a really interesting one. I have to admit I have fallen into old habits such as procrastinating and undermining my homework. I have already kicked into gear my studding and homework routines and even forced myself to place things in better perspective. I have to admit that the biggest awakening this semester has been the choice of teachers. Ms. Croker is a motivational teacher that challenges my intelligence and makes me wanna improve my understanding in the English subject. However my poor research and lack of curiosity made me choose teachers who where no where near the motivation and desire to learn about the subject as I would have hoped. I am now being forced to motivate myself and push for improvement. It is not easy but stopping to think of the ways my life can be affected by the choices I make today makes want to do better. I am working part time as an English tutor to become more independent as far as expenses for school go. I find it sometimes difficult to manage work and homework sometimes, but it is reality and I can't change it. I am however grateful to have a job where my pay is reasonable and the work is also flexible.
This semester will be unforgettable as it is the first semester when I had dropped a class half way through. I was faced with the decision of continuing my Chemistry class and possibly fail or drop it and hope to find a replacement class that I can use to maintain my units and financial aid money. As if the heavens had heard my prayers and a Political science had just fallen from the sky I had found my replacement. I became less panicked, as the idea of being under the required units needed to maintain my job was off my shoulders. This semester is definitely one I will never forget.

Blog # 10 "True or False"

True or false:
1) I used to live in Utah and got involved in an almost fatal car accident.
2) I once witnessed an armed robbery at Bank of America.
3) I only have 9 toes due to a deformation before birth.
4) I use to be an underwear model for Calvin Klein kids.
5) I log into a fake Facebook account only to spy on relatives and friends under the user name of Ralf Morgan.
6) When I was 16 my best friend was an exotic dancer named Rougue.

Four lies one truth. Guess wisely

blogg #9

This week we were given the opportunity to write about we wanted to so I chose to write about College classes. Do you ever feel like wanting to start over. If you have don't be ashamed I'm right here for ya! Perfect example, Chemistry and I have never seen eye to eye. I don't know if it is the test tube and beaker that put me in an eternal sleep or the thought of memorizing irrelevant formulas. Well from the beginning I made the biggest mistake, I took on a class I knew I was bad in and didn't bother to buy the book. I know, I know,how can I have been this stupid right? Well, midterm approached and I was desperate to improve in the class. I studied from my notes as much as I was capable to and even pulled an all night er but no luck. I failed miserably. What was I to do if I dropped the class now I would loose my Job and if I lost my job then... I didn't even wanted to think of it. So as I walked of my chemistry class I marched to the EOPS office and asked about any late start classes. Like a sign from God a Government class was opening and I got the second to last spot. "Oh Thank You God!" I chanted in my head. I was gonna be able to maintain myself as a full time student and drop the chemistry class with the chance of taking it again and hopefully do better. I was able to breath and focus on this second chance.

why do we change

There is a lot of things I have changed my mind about. One is ripped jeans. Around seventh grade I beggan to see random people with holes on their pants. I use to say, "I would never dress that way." Now all of my jeans have holes. I guess the more I disliked them the more I wanted a pair. Flannels have also changed the way that I see fashion. Flannels use to mean one thing and one thing only, redneck. Yet, today I wear them like a blanket I can't leave with out. Looking back, most of the things I saw as strange or weird have in a way grown into me making me what I probably never I would become. Trends pass, music passes, but I always seem to be on th late train. My taste in music has semi- drasticly changed. Back in jr. high and high school I was really into pop and contemorary music. Now, I have a graduate admiration for classicrock, grunge, and punk. My goals and plans have too been modified. As a simple adolecent, I viewed my future being sorrounded by adoring fans and a name in the big screen. Oh how I long for those simple days! Nevertheless, I have proposed new goals and expectations that I want to accomplish. Like becoming a doctor or surgen by the time I am 30. We change opinions and we move on to better things, or maybe not so great. I would like to share a quote from the best show on cable tv, Gossip Girl. "And all in an instant everything changes. We leave the past behind and speed toward the unknown, our future. We set out for far-out places and try to find ourselves, or try to loose or selves. Exploring pleasures closer to home. The problem starts when we refuse to let change happen and clinging to old habits. But if we hold on to the past to tight the future may never come."

Blog #7 Family, so what

A lot of people seem to be too into material posetions and have forgotten of all the little things. Family is the most powerfulnbond and union any human being can have. As for me, family is the closest connection to normality I have. I feel insecure and completly out of my confortzone when I am in school. The only people that trully understand me is my family. I can say what I want and be completly understood by them. I also consider the people close to me who have no biological recemblence to me as family. In a way my few friends are my family, because I can be open with them and not feel judge. I do think about the future and the family I want to have someday. As soon as I graduate from medical school I would like to begin a family. I dont know how many members it will involve but I do know it will not be as many as my grandparents had (10, from bith sides). Family is a special group of people bonded by a fealing of unity and confortability with in them. It does not matter how many it may have, what matters is the love and affection it has.
