Posts

What makes a good post? Is it the quantity of the post or is it the quality of the article? I believe good articles can come from many different sources and can be about any subject, they just need to be well worded and clearly written. I need four more words.

Movies

I will start this blog the way I start most of my entries, thusly:  I love movies. I love how directors invoke emotion though elaborate story telling. I love how they cause adrenaline rushes through explosions or extremely gruesome and gory scenes. My dream job is to one day be a special effects engineer.

Cooking

I love to cook. Cooking is one of the most useful skills to have. Even though I started cooking simple things in scouts I have expanded my knowledge to include a vast variety of dishes. I believe everyone should learn how to cook. And I know some people say that there is no way they can learn all you need is the ability to follow instructions and patience. Once you learn recipes and get the general idea of how things are combined and how to cook certain things it becomes easy to start making your own recipes and dishes.

MATH

I love math. I'm trying to teach my business major roommate calculus tonight. Let's just say its not really going so well. He says that math is useless and that Isaac Newton is a torturous bastard. I laughed and went about giving examples of all the wonderful things that calculus can do. Then tried to break down some of the problems into very easy steps but only to be scuffed at before he smacked his head on the table.

Guns

I am a big believer in the right to bear arms. I think all citizens deserve the right to own, buy, and carry firearms. I do agree with certain requirements for people wanting to purchase guns but I don't agree with the whole price jacking and ridiculous restrictions Obama put on firearms to try and make it harder to purchase them.

Coffee

Isn't coffee just great? Our entire society pretty much runs off of coffee now a day. Such a wonderful drink with such an unusual back story. One of the many origin stories of how this glorious bean was discovered is that sheep herders noticed the sheep being energetic and lively after eating these certain berries. So the herders started making stews out of the berries to gain extra energy. And thus coffee!
 

Well

Since everyone else seems to just be blogging about their days and random whatnots, I guess I am allowed to also write about such random things. I finished up mass effect three today. The game is the last of an epic trilogy that takes place in the future around 2127 when all the life in the galaxy is threatened by a extremely powerful AI called the reapers. I strongly recommend this trilogy.

Roommates

What kind of roommate do you have? The annoying type who eat your food, leave messes all over the place and don't clean up, and wake you up at all times of the night? Or do you have the awesome type who you hang out with all the time, keeps everything clean and neat, and shares food with you.

Drinking age

This is one that i think most of yall can relate to. I believe that the drinking age should be eighteen. The United States is one of the only countries who insists on having the legal drinking age of twenty-one. But why? around 18 when kids are going to college and even before then they start drinking. Why not just make it legal if they are going to do it anyway. Also many teens drink just because it is illegal, cause its the bad and dangerous thing to do. With a lower drinking age maybe people would be less careless with alcohol. My parents have let me drink since i was fourteen. The fact that I was allowed to do it made me responsible with alcohol now that i am older never getting too drunk and making sure no one goes over their limit at parties.

Simplicity

I don't know about all of you but I love it when things are nice and simple. I'm sick and tired of all these strings that are attached to everything. I wish I lived in the medieval times when all you had to worry about was survival and your laborious job like a blacksmith.

sigh 2

I think thinking of a title for the post is just as bad as coming up with something to write about, so i plan on making them random crap from now on. I believe that being random and spontanious is one of the best ways to keep things fresh and not boring.

Topic

I defiantly decided on a topic. The ethics of overlooking or bending guidelines /building codes to make the job easier and move along faster. I am going to Interview my sister (the expert) and my roommate (not an expert) tomorrow. My sister, who is an industrial engineer, actually has experience with this issue first hand with some of the people she supervised during her summer internship.

Here's a good one

I finally thought of a belief that is relevant to something I'm doing right now. I am currently doing some physics homework (for context sake). I believe homework should not be mandatory. Many math and science teachers I have had agree with me. Yes everyone knows homework is helpful if you do it, but it shouldn't be held against you if you already know the concepts and don't need the practice.

sigh

I really hate having to do these things. I don't really have fifty words to say on purely academics let alone my thoughts, feelings, or ideas every single day. (sigh) So I guess here it goes another thing I strongly believe in is that these things are boring and a waist of time. If we could write about anything we wanted to these things would be much more enjoyable.

some ethics ideas

I really have no earthly idea what ethical issue I am going to do this project on but I guess i have a few maybes. First is the ethics behind builders using cheap low cost materials instead of better higher cost materials. The second is using environmentally safe materials instead of harmful ones.

Bike people

I believe bikes (biking people) should not be allowed to ride on the road. These "marathon bickers" are an increasing plague on the American road system. They ride along on the side of the road without any remorse for the massive amount of room they take up and swerving near cars when they pass.
