Dear next years english 110 students,

this is a class that you can do well in if you pay attention and come to class. There is a couple of ways to get extra credit and you will need to capitalize on all extra credit opportunities due to the fact that your new teacher likes to grade extra hard. Make sure you follow all instructions which sounds like something you have been told in every class you have ever attended for your entire life but there atre tiny things you can miss that will blow an assignment for you. There are a few papers you have to write but you will find out after you have turned them both in that you will be able to rewrite both of the papers for a new grade. It may seem really dick that she does not tell you before you finish it but actually it is a cool thing because it forced me to do my best work and then I got a lot of good advice on how to fix it for extra credit. You also need to learn how to blog properly. NEVER use contractions they are half as many words as splitting them properly into the two original words. When you are totally basing an assignment on the number of words you damn well better use as many as you are able to. Check your words often so you know how and when to properly change topics. Three more words.

Hey everybody. So according to my numbering this is my second to last blog. I hope I am right but I should probably check carmen for the final date tomorrow. I will be extra relieved when we are totally done with these because then I can focus all my effort on my analytical research paper rewrite. I need to get at least 7 points higher on the rewrite than the original to get the grade I desire for this class. I would like to get 13 points higher but that is not always possible. Actually I forgot about getting extra credit for comments and the extra credit for going to the writing center so I guess I am going to have to take another look at what my grades are. Apparently I missed the date to rewrite the commonplace but I was going to say something on what I thought was the final day to tell her but she said I was already to late. I double checked my calendar but I must have misheard what she actually said.

So today me and a couple of my room mates decided that we were tired of having a broken heater and we were tired of waiting for our landlord so we went down and tried to get it working again. After about 5 minutes we figures out that out problem was either the pilot light because we some weird auto lighting pilot light. After about 25 minutes of playing around with it we thought we got it working then for some reason a smoke detector went off. Their was no smoke and it is not a carbon monoxide leak. After a little for playing we around we got it working.

Well hello everyone. How was your day today. As I have heard we do not have any blog topics until we are done with them altogether so I am just going to wing it from now on. So I decided to do my blog now but it is not because I am going out tonight. Do not think I am lame or anything I went out and partied last night but it is to damn cold to be doing all that tonight. I think it is going to be like this throughout most of winter because I am really not going to be going anywhere over winter quarter. I am really not into being cold so I do not walk around that much once it starts getting cold. It is pretty funny when it starts getting cold I pretty much stop doing most of the everyday things that I would normally do in the summer months. I notice most people do so I am not really concerned with any of it. But tonight I think me and joe my room mate are just going to kick it here and watch 30 rock. We found this pretty funny drinking game with this show and he is going to be playing that tonight. I am not able to play this though because the legal age to drink is 21 and I am obviously not going to be able to play this game until next year when I turn 21. it seems really fun.

72

Hey everybody. So it is my room mates 21^st birthday party. His birthday was actually on wednesday and we decided it would be better to be to party at elliots house tonight instead. Everybody sitting around staring at me typing this retarded blog and they are not happy even a little bit. Saylor is fuming angry. Joe has this cool whipped cream with alcohol and I can not to be twenty one so I can actually try it. Underage drinking is wrong and illegal and none of you should participate in this new crime wave that sweeping the globe. I am tired of this retarded class and am glad I will probably have to have it again. I am not even at one hundred and twenty words yet and I am still holding up the whole entire group of the three of us. It is getting colder every second and the walk is becoming exponentially worse of a walk. According to the birthday boy joe schaffer is is exactly thirty degrees at this point in time and space. I put a lot of unnecessary words in all of the sentences previous to this one but also including this one and potentially all future sentences after this current one. I am going to be walking from eighth street all the way to frambes which is probably going to be really shitty. I am glad we are almost done blogging because I bull shit all of them any way. Three more words.

Hey everybody. So my computer is running repairs because my the fuse for the upstairs is being a dick and blows for no reason at all. It has done it 5 times in the last 2 days and it is driving me nuts. I really wanted to do my blog during halftime of the cavaliers game so I had to ask my roommate to use his for this. Luckily joe is a coll dude and has no problem lending me his computer. So today I saw a little bit of what we watched today in class but regrettably I was forced to leave early due to a writing center meeting. So on the blog assignment we are supposed to be discussing the firefly episode “out of gas.” since we watch caprica today I assume that is going to be the topic of the blog for today so that is what I will discuss. I may not have seen much due to the fact that I was signing up for my writing center meeting while it was on at the beginning but it threw me off at first because I was expecting their to be robot that looked like the typical sci fi robot. I thought this would be the case because in battle star galatica they are fighting advanced robots that look like people and in this it seemed more like backgroud info on all the characters we saw in the original mini series. I was also confused because I thought this was going to be a mini series and it did not seem like that at all from what we watched. GO CALVES

Hey everybody I do not have much time to write this so I am going to be a quick as possible. Psych is about to be on and that show is the shit so I am not missing a new episode. Psych is a coll and humorous show about a goofy guy named shawn spencer who is working as a consultant for the santa barbera police department. Shawn's dad used to be a police office for that police department so he has a good word on his side when the show started and he was not really known yet. Shawns dad raised him to be a police officer but shawn was never really into that and spent most of his time getting into mischief and just being a goofball and a slacker pretty much his whole life. He has always had his best friend burton guster, he goes by gus, since he was five and they have become really close and they are partners for their detective agency. Shawn is so good at what he does because his whole life his dad was pushing him to be a cop and so he gave him all kinds of good advice and trained him to become an officer. The best part of the show is since he is so observant he figures things out without a lot of evidence and since people would not believe most of his ridiculous accusations he has spent the whole show pretending to be a psychic. Gus is the only one that know so they have lots of close calls with getting caught.

Hey everybody. How was your day? Mine was defiantly not excellent because of this terrible rain. I am happy though because we got most of our group memo done in class today. I spent like twenty minutes trying to print out the dumb thing before class today because my room mates printer was being a dick and kept saying it was out of ink when it clearly was not. It said it was completely empty so I had to essentially tell the computer that ink was not necessary to print out my document. After I finally do all that I look at the clock and It is 1: 28 and I am still on eighth. So I ended up getting to class like fifteen minutes late. I get there and find out I did not even need to do it. But I also got some good news in class today. I found out I am at 110 comments so I feel I should give lee ann and sarah both shout outs here because I am going to say at least half my comments were me responding to their comments. So thanks ladies ha. I feel like the next 50 will be easy but I doubt I will be getting a lot of comments on my blogs because I prety much have the same few people commenting on my blogs and they have got to be pretty close to being done. I guess I will focus mu attention on actually reading other peoples blogs and commenting on theirs.

68

Hey everybody. Did you all get your memos done. I am still not one hundred pecent sure if mine is all totally correct and I have lost the packet since class so I do not know if we are turning in a final copy tomorrow or if it is simply a way for us to get it looked at by our class mates. I think I will just print out two separate copies of it just in case we have to turn one in I will still have the option to keep one and write any changes I may want to make for the group version we have to turn in. I hope I did it all correct so I will be able to get all the points I can from this and that will make my revisions much easier to handle.

So today was pretty uneventful. I did go to kroger though and get some delicious hoagy ingredients. Hillshire Farms makes this big one pound thing of ham or turkey that is only like 5 bucks. It was pretty cheap so I bought a honey ham and some kind of turkey. It is the first real food I have bought in a while and I feel it is necessary because I am spending far to much money and jimmy johns and taco bell. I am thinking that class is going to be boring tomorrow and I left my ipod in my moms car so I am pretty bummed. Hopefully I can get it back by christmas though.

67

Hey everybody. I almost forgot to do this blog. It is currently 2: 47 and I do not want to do this and the only reason I remembered it was because for some weird reason I decided to check my email and I saw comments from old blogs I had a couple of days ago. I do not know why I checked my email but it is a good thing I did because seeing those blogs with old comments on them apparently was just the reminder I needed. Ha it is almost like you guys reminded me to do my homework and you guys gave me a topic to write about for at least one hundred and twenty words. That is almost half a blog worth of writing about a topic that I would have had to just thrown together for a word limit. It really was not a good story but hey if anybody actually read this they will not be bore the entire time. Maybe I should check my email every night before I go to bed. As a reminder for if I have done all my shit for the day and what not. I just remembered how I wrote the time on the top when I started so I can actually check the time I am done typing and see how long it takes to write a blog when you are tired as hell. It is 2: 57 right now so that means by the time I am done with this sentence I will be pretty close to the 250 word limit and probably right around 2: 58. yup thats the final time

66

Hey everybody. Yeah I know I should be at the game if I am in columbus but hey now I do not have a ticket. I am trying to get this done before the game starts so I do whatever the hell I want when the game is over. I do not think I will be in a proper condition to be writing a blog because you know this is michigan week right. Last night I partied for the first time in a couple weeks and I realized that northwood and 8^th street are really far away from each other when it is two in morning. I had fun going out with my friends but it was so damn cold. I was freezing walking their at like 4 30 or 5 but so then when I had to walk back at 2 in the morning you would think I was colder but surprisingly I did not really feel it until I got back to my house. Wow I really wanted to be done with this by 11 45 and I am not even close to done and it I am becoming very irritated with this stupid blog. I wanted to run down to champs, the convenient store down the 8^th street, before the game and grab an much mango arizona. Now I will have to wait till half time to get it. And for god sakes I can not eat my jimmy johns without it. I need five more words.

65

Hey everybody. How was everybody's thanksgiving yesterday? Mine went pretty well I ended up spending most of time either defending myself from my cousins with their big ass mouths and almost no common sense or respect for anyone else or showing my grandparents how to use their computer. When I was not showing them how to do basic things like making a folder or open their webcam I was fixing all the damage done by my many ten to fifteen year old cousins. Damn those kids are really dumb with computers and the internet ha. But since my dad came up to cleveland for thanksgiving I got to get a ride from him back down here to columbus.. he had to leave early in the morning because this is one of honeybaked ham's biggest holidays and him and my other uncles on that side of the family defiantly need to go in today to get the sales numbers and such. Since it is a family business I have been working there on all the major holidays since I was like 13. He said he got me a job for the day I get back to cincinnati and I am extra happy because I will be working at least 50 hours the week leading up to christmas. I have no problem working up to midnight on christmas eve because I got to put in my time in the company now. How is that whole thing not two hundred fifty words? I thought it was longer than it should be.

64

Hey everybody. How has your thanksgiving been going today. The fact that I am dong homework on thanksgiving is really annoying to me. I think that holidays with the family should be spent with the family. I know it is really not that much to do but the fact that I had to sit down and get on my computer to write a blog that after writing it will not change my skills in writing or the english language. I know it seems like a am a really negative person and a downer but doing writing at is just busy work is a dumb thing to me. I have no problem with busy work, well not a big enough problem to bitch about, but stuff like this just makes me annoyed with school. I a, sitting here at my grandmas and I am bored and pretty disappointed with the detroit lions. Do not get me wrong I do not like detroit even a little bit but the fact that they keep a thanksgiving game that damn close then completely blow it in the last minute. I am kind of irritated that the lions still get the thanksgiving game and they have not one it since 2003. I feel like the game would be much more fun to watch if they actually picked a team for it that is constantly good. I am at 230 words an I think this is why this should not be mandatory because most of my blogs are talking about how dumb these blogs are.

Hey everybody. So I am sitting here at my cousins house doing this blog. I really would love to not be doing this while I am on vacation. I do not visit my family often and while my parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents are having interesting conversations and I am sitting here like a damn lame writing this weak blog. I know it is going to take me at least an hour to write this because I have already looked up like 5 times. No joke it has been like 30 minutes and this is all I have done. I think I would have loved to have actually have done one or two that I skipped earlier so I do not have to write on thanksgiving. But since I am an idiot I do not have the discipline to actually do those kinds things on a daily basis. Wow I just did a word count and it was only at one hundred and forty eight words. I have been doing this for way to long for it to only be like maybe halfway through. I think this stuff is annoying and I got to be pretty close to being done. I have decided that I would rather have gone to cincinnati than cleveland for thanksgiving but my mom is right that since my grandparents are pretty sick and they will not be around that much longer. The only thing is I feel like both my grandparents are in the same situation so I feel bad that I do not get to see the ones on my dads side in cincinnati.

63

Hey everybody. So that email we got today is sounding pretty ominous and I think this memo might end up being much harder than I originally thought. I know we have a topic today for our blog I saw it on the paper but do not worry I will get to the topic about that show here in a minute. I am happy I have like 95 comments and I am going to need to work out some extra points so I will defiantly be doing all the 160 comments we are permitted for extra credit and I am going to go the writing center because apparently I missed a blog yesterday. Come on people you should start reminding me but buckeye mail probably would not be that effective ha ha.

So I thought the Battle Star Galactica was a pretty decent mini series. I thought it was going to be a decent show but I defiantly thought it was going to be more like a star treky space show. It kind of reminded more of star wars than star trek because it looked into the whole situation of how a person reacts under pressure. I thought star trek was whack and star wars was cool and besides fire fly I really can not think of any other space like shows or movies off the top of my head. I can not wait to eat this thanksgiving meal pretty soon because I am tired of shitty off brand food. Happy earlyiesh thanksgiving.

61

Hey everybody. I had a pretty good day today. It was pretty interesting at times but good regardless. By they way I got some sticky shit all over my fingers and I am typing with like three select fingers. They are not sticky and that makes them acceptable to type with and the other seven are in a situation that does not make typing acceptable. No but really I I saw the funniest thing today after I had to go to this weird thing for bio 102 and I was leaving the rpac to walk back to my house. There was this large unattended gaggle of about twenty five little children. I mean little kids they were like between five and ten. It was ridiculous there were completely unattended and I was not that sure that they knew where they were going. How could they? Little kids are not very smart and this is a big campus so I hope they got where they were going. But the little children's aimless wandering were not the funniest part of their goofy little squadron. The funniest part was that in following up the rear was a little girl who was probably like eight and this little girl was talking to herself which was pretty funny. But it was not just any conversation it was the most intense conversation I have ever seen held by a single person. She must have a lot of really interesting things to say if she can keep herself entertained like that.

60

Hey everybody. I have slowly realized two things while doing these blogs all quarter. I mean I am not even going to include that I learned I hate two hundred and fifty words and how annoying daily blogs are though so technically four ha. But I have learned that these blogs are like a thousand times easier to do when you are allowed to write about anything you want and I also learned something I should have in grade school. It took me a while but I have discovered it is a really nice feeling when I wake up and do my work early in the day. It is not only nice because I can do whatever I want all day but I always have this annoying feeling when I have work to do. I have also found out that if you consistently do your homework early in the day it is easy to forget them if you do it late. I almost forgot about this blog today and that is just not acceptable for me anymore. I need every possible point I can get in this class and then some. I always hit the word count button thinking I have about forty more words than I really do. It always seems like it is under two hundred when I check and think I am close to being done. I get that satisfied feeling that I am almost done and one click of the mouse destroys my hope. Even more so when I am like two short.

59

Hey everybody. How are you all on this freezing saturday? Well the ohio state and iowa game is about to be on I am trying to knock this dumb blog off my list of things to do today before the game starts. I have never really timed how long it takes to write a blog I just know it always seems like a long time. I figure once I have an idea of what to write about it can not take more than five to eight minutes. I mean if it is only taking me 5 minutes to do this then that means I am typing and making up words at 50 words per minute. That does not seem that high to me. I have found that not using any contractions when typing these things out can help had length. You know what else adds a lot of extra length? Be descriptive. Say more than is necessary. I know it does not seem like much but if you use at least 20 words like cant wont shouldnt couldnt havent say can double that 20 to a solid 40 words! Like right now I bet if I went through all my old blogs, which I defiantly will not. I bet there is no more than 2 or 3 contracts in all my blogs. I really have come to dislike doing these a lot and all the help I can get adding words makes them quicker to do and much less of a hassle. I mean shit if I save one minute on every blog we do thats 75 minutes saved. 75 minutes to spend doing more important things.

58

Hey everybody. So I just found out today I am not going to be going to cincinnati after thanksgiving to visit my family that lives down there. Instead I am pretty sure my is picking me up on wednesday to go up to cleveland to visit that side of the family. I am not really looking forward to it because most of my family is pretty annoying and they all think me and my other cousin joey are like bad or something. We can not really figure out why though because we have like 4 girl cousins older than us who are are always getting into some dumb shit then getting into trouble. It is not like me and joey do anything but since we live in cincinnati and they all live in cleveland the older girls just talk shit about us but it is cool because I love seeing my grandparents and they are not in good shape so I think I should try and see them as much as possible.

So I am happy to be done with all the papers for this class but I still have a bunch of writing to do for this biology class I am in and I have to meet up and do this group stuff today but no one in my group has given me a time so I do not know what their plan is and I am kind of annoyed because this is a big grade. I hope we end up meeting and getting this done but I do not know whats going on.

57

Hey everybody. So I guess the blog I did extra early and apparently wrong will not count for today so I am going to number this as tomorrows so I get credit for both. So I have heard a lot of good things about battle star Galatica and I have been wanting to watch it for a while. My roommate has them on dvd so I guess I might watch them sometime. I enjoyed what we watched today because it reminds me a lot of going to an old aircraft carrier way back in the day. I think the one I went to was the USS Lincoln but I am not really sure. I was not really reminded of this until the scene with all the fighter ships. When they go down and all the ships are roped off with fancy velvet rope so people can look at them like on the old carrier and then when they wanted to use the starboard launch pads they could not. I thought it was funny because it was not like they were blocked off or temporarily out of order but they could not use it because it had been replaced with a gift shop. This reminded a lot of going to the aircraft carrier back in the day because they had a lot of cheesy shit thrown in like rides and gift shops. The funniest part though was that they too out the whole mess hall and threw in a fully operational mcdonalds.

56

Hey everybody. I am sitting here at like eight thirty in the morning doing this blog. There is no doubt in my mind that this is by far the earliest I have been awake and doing any school work this quarter. I am doing this now because after my class at nine I have to read somebodies paper and do that weird memo thing but I am not sure where to find the rubric. I guess I am just going to use one of the papers we got when we did revisions and basing it off that. It is not for a grade so I am really not that worried. After I go to our class at one thirty I have to do some last minute paper work for my common place paper due today.

I woke up today felling like shit and it really is going to make today difficult. I have a bunch of stuff to do today and I do not want to be sick because that is really going to make it extra shitty doing all my work today. I will probably take a nap after I turn in the common place paper but since I am kind of an idiot I might not finish the paper till like right before it is due. I hope by tomorrow I feel better because being sick on the weekends always sucks. Well good luck on your papers everyone but do not get to stressed because remember we always get to do our re writes.

55

Hey everybody. So I totally forgot to do my blog yesterday. I feel like I have been doing good by not missing any for so long then just because I am an idiot I miss another. The thing that makes me mad about the whole thing is that I know I had thought about doing it a few times during the day but I decided I did not feel like it and I would do it later. Since I realized I could not miss any more I have started doing them earlier in the day so it is not something I have hanging over my head all day and just because I have been doing it like that blogs really are not something I think about at night anymore so when I finally went to go to bed I did not even think about the dumb blog. Now instead of getting 15 out or 15 like I had been planning on I am going to get lower and you all know how it is in this class every point counts because you do not have an opportunity to get points very often.

So I know most people felt the same way as I did about the whole thing we did today in class. I thought it was extra confusing and I feel like we spent the whole learning how to grade a paper rather than anything constructive that will help me write the common place paper that is due on thurday.

53

Hey everybody. I had a pretty good weekend up to now and a nice sunday of relaxing and just hanging out with my roommates. The browns played one of the best halves of the season today during the first half of the game against the jets today in cleveland. The score may not have really shown it but our offense was playing beautifully today. Hillis is slowly becoming one of my favorite players on the team because that dude is a champ. He may fumble every once and a while but that is just because he tries to get so many extra yards. The jets kicker was looking weak as hell out there today but to be fair the browns defense and offense both had major struggles in the second half. After watching football and doing laundry me and my roommate were just hanging out downstairs watching tv. I found out something really cool that I never knew though so I think of it as productive ha. But anyway so I had the clicker and I was messing around with my phones camera and I pressed a button accidentally and I saw the end of the clicker kind of glow on my phone. I did a little research on my laptop and found out that camera phones can pick up infrared light and then I also tested it and my webcam can as well. So if you wanna see if your phones camera picks up infrared light as well just point your remote control directly at the camera and press a button.

52

What up everybody. I am pretty sore and tired this afternoon. When I got out of bed I was so sore it was ridiculous. Like my back was sorer than after waking up after doing a 10 hour intensive training session and this makes me bad because I release my body is breaking. I have a pinched nerve in my neck that I got wrestling at the national tournament the summer going to my junior year. The pinched nerve prevents a protective muscle in my back on my left side from contracting properly so whenever I use that shoulder for lifting, athletics, and day to day activities I have to be careful with it because if I push straight out like a bench press it can pop out. The summer going to my senior year I got thrown funny at nationals in Fargo again and have a slight tear in my ACL. The ACL only bugs me when I use my knee a lot. Like a full match it would be ok unless I was extra aggressive with it or people focused on hurting it which does occasionally happen. They are not that bad of injuries so I really do not want to get surgery. My other permanent injury from wrestling is that I have a bad ligament in my left thumb. The thumb is ok unless I use it heavily, like playing xbox or lifting, so I do not really worry about it. My senior year though I had a few kids rip at my thumb and it just got me really angry so I would wrestle them a lot more violent.

51

Hey everybody. So today I finally got my hair cut. I am not used to places that are all nice and whatever so when I walked up at like 1 30 I was honestly kind of surprised that I had to make an appointment. I really have not ever had a hair cut that required me to make one so I really was not expecting it and I was kind of irritated that I had to walk the way to my house then back within an hour. I was not to concerned with all that noise but then when I got there they asked if I wanted hot tea or water. I was really surprised this was an option but I did not get any ha ha. Then after I told them what I wanted they took me to another room and this dude massaged my head. It was kind of weird and I was completely taken aback that my hair cut came with a massage. Apparently I was not confused enough because even though I just showered before a came over this dude wanted to wash my hair. I have never had a hair cut where my head was washed before and I have never had someone else shampoo my hair so I thought that was awkward ha. I know most places do that but I do not really like other people who I do not know touching me so hen they want to wash my hair I guess it is just so out of the ordinary it was weird to me.

50

Hey everybody. So my hair is getting really long and I have been telling my parents I would cut it for a while and now that I am trying to find a job I feel like I should pretty soon. I think my mom wanted me to go to the aveda place but I do not think I want to go there. I will probably go to one of the random places up on high street but I do not really have a plan yet. I want to go today and since we are off class I really do not have an excuse except for the fact that I hate hair cuts. It is not that I dislike actually having it cut but I am always worried that since I have long hair they will screw it up and give me a girl haircut. I have pretty much been like that since eighth grade when I stopped shaving my head for wrestling. I know it is weird but when I started wrestling on national team and pretty much wrestling year round I started to grow it long and I do not know why. It does not seem like long hair would be advantageous in wrestling and I actually had to have my coach cut it once my junior on the mat because the ref was a dick and made me either forfeit or cut my hair. I was really made because it was the semi finals and I had already wrestled 3 times that day without the other refs saying anything. I guess it is all the luck of the draw.

49

Hey everybody. I think it is weird and I just noticed I do that in every blog. Maybe it is me subconsciously taking 2 words off the blog every time. Well whatever I am extra happy tonight since all classes are canceled tomorrow so I will not have to wake up for class at nine tomorrow. I am not a morning person so waking up early kills me every morning. I have to set my alarm extra early so I can lay awake and prepare myself to get out of bed and shower. Now I can go hang out with my friends tonight and wake up at a good time tomorrow. I think am going to have to walk from here on eighth all the way to my friends house on northwood. Most people probably do not even know where that is but it is like three or four blocks north of lane. It is such an awful walk especially when it is as cold as it has been getting lately. Oh and I have been doing really good with comments lately. I bet I have at least 65 now. I have been going through an writing on peoples and answers one on mine is normally just 2 a day right there. I think it is funny because she said we should being doing ten a week but my way of procrastinating on comments and doing like 5 a day has been really easy and extra effective. Well I am going to go out so have a good day off.

48

Hey everybody. How was your day today? I had a decent day and I was super happy to remember again that we are not going to have to class on thursday. I have forgotten it a lot and so it seems like I am learning it for the first time every time I see it somewhere. It is also cool because I do not have to wake up for class on thursday at ten am. I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping over the last few days so no I when I actually fall asleep I can stay asleep until around noon or if I get really out of control maybe I might just sleep till 1 or 2. My two buddies came over today from cincinnati and they are leaving around 9 so I can wake up and clean my house because my parents are driving through columbus and the house is kind of dirty and they would complain a lot and make me feel all bad even though I clean up every mess I ever make. I think of my self as a pretty clean person because I clean as I go. But back to my parents I do not know what time they will be coming through here but I hop it is not when I am in class so they can take me grocery shopping. I like to go shopping with my parents because they buy me good amounts of pretty good food. They do not cop out and buy cheap shit like I do ha ha.

Hey everybody. I am in a terrible mood. I work my ass off for this class everyday which is ok I have to for all classes, but I really can not stand how hard she is grading. I am getting so frustrated about this because on more than 1 occasion I have gone back and looked at my paper and every time I see small errors and fix them but I promise you I can not find enough things wrong to justify the grade she gave me. I understand it my not be a paper that deserves an A but the grade she gave me implies that it is one of the worst papers shes graded in a while. I am really fed up with her and her grading system. I will have to take this to the writing center everyday. Sadly, if she is going to grade like this the only way for me to get an acceptable grade in this class is to take advantage of all the extra credit by going to writing center at least 15 times and I will meed to do around 250 comments. It sucks but if working hard on my papers is not going to get me a passable grade I will have to use the system. I really do not like doing things like that because I feel grades should reflect learning but to get a good grade in here I will have to use the system presented to me. My grade will not tell you how much I learned but instead how much I was willing to use rules to my advantage and I think that is sick. Grades should be based on what you know not who was willing to do cheap things to get ahead. Sometimes the things I actually learn in a class do not help me with my grade.

Hey everybody. Today was a pretty good day in my opinion. The browns have been playing outstanding these last couple of weeks and I just got jimmy johns and that is delicious. Today I woke up around 12 30 and got to catch the beginning of the browns game against the new england patriots. Many people thought the patriots were going to stomp on the browns but the browns playing very well right off the bat scoring ten points pretty quick. The whole browns team showed up ready to play and took it to the patriots winning by 20 points. I would bet most people would have bet against the browns today. Speaking of betting me and my roomates buddy eric have a five dollar bet on the bengals against the steelers game tomorrow. I really do not place many sports bets but it really does make watching the game way more fun so I did not really mind because it is only five bucks. Right after we placed the bet I started having second thoughts because the bengals are playing like crap as of late. I hope the fact that there is some beef between the bengals and steelers will make the cincinnati bengals man up and start playing like a professional football team. We can not have cedric benson dropping the ball on key drives, palmer throwing like a fool, and when palmer does get good throws the receivers can not be dropping them like they are hish school receivers.

Hey everybody. So it is technically saturday and I am doing this right now because then I will not have to do it tomorrow which is actually saturday to normal people who go to bed at normal times. I just got home from a fun a party with my buddy and my cousin who just happens to be his girlfriend. I am really cool with my buddy luke but I love my cousin so it is weird seeing my cousin with her boyfriend who is my buddy. I think it is weird because since I do not have a little sister and I was really close with her I look at her as a little sister and since I am lukes friend I her things about him and his girlfriend and it makes me really angry. Every once and a while me and him will almost get into a fight but it is cool because since are really close we get past it. It is funny though because he feels weird dating my cousin so he keeps introducing me to girls he think I will be cool with so it will not be weird because I am with his friend while he is with my cousin. It is funny because it never works out so he just keeps feeling weird. I got home a couple of minutes ago and want to finish this blog so me and my roommate joe can watch king of the hill. I want to finish this blog so I can finally be off on a saturday and not have to worry about a dumb blog.

Hey everybody. So my cousin and her boyfriend are over here and I am trying to do this real quick because we are going to buy some beverages for the party tonight and I am being lame as hell writing this stupid ass blog. My cousin is a freshman at university of cincinnati and she came up here today around 1. I guess I will talk about how I do not want to do this stupid blog and want to go to a party so you probably do not want to read past here because it will be pointless after this point. I disapprove of these daily blog and I will recommend that she discontinues if she ever is a teacher or whatever she is again. I think it is cold today and I do not like it. Do not get me wrong or anything I really love snow and all that but I hate the cold weather like this where it is just crappy outside. I think I just remembered that we had a specific topic for this one I think but I am going to hope that we do not have one. I guess I will have to hope she does not read this one so no one comment because then she might read it and not give me credit. If she does not give me credit I will be super bummed and blame it on you. So do not be that guy please. I need credit in this dumb ass class.

Hello everybody. I am still really down about my stupid paper grade. I know I am going to have to do the revisions which is ok because I planned on doing it anyway but not coming back from this low. I think she grades far to strict and I think it is totally ridiculous that she went that hard against it. But since I am down I am celebrating the weekly holiday of thirsty thursday which I rarely do. I am currently being lame ass hell in front of my buddies because we are about to roll to this party but I can not until I am done with this retarded blog about nothing. The word nothing was at one hundred and sixteen words. Fun fact I used 8 words to tell you what word I was on in a previous sentence but I thought you should know how far into it you are if you are reading it. I really do not think anybody should read this for it is terribly boring and will leave you feeling less happy than you were before you started reading. I am in fact very much less happy than I was when I started to write it. I do not like these and they make me hate writing even more every time I have to write one which just happens to be everyday. This dreadful piece of internet garbage is almost over I promise I just need to through in a couple more useless words that neither of us cares to read.

Hey everybody. How are you doing? So I got some good news and some not so good news today. The good news is not really news as much as it is me doing things I should be doing. I finally went to denney, the building we have class in once a week, today and filled out the paper to drop my accounting class. It is something I should have done a while ago but I never really got around to actually going to denney and doing it. The other thing I did a bunch of today that I should have been doing is commenting. I swear I did like 5 or 6 comments today and got to be coming close to an acceptable number. I get a decent amount by just replying to comments on my blogs but today I actually wrote comments on like 3 other peoples blogs and I will probably do some more later after I post this one. Now the bad news is not bad for you but it was a major downer on my day when I saw it. I finally got my paper feedback and I was pretty bummed. I thought my paper was decent and with the rewrite I planned on taking a good paper and making it great so I could get a decent grade in this class. I am now forced to turn a paper she gave an awful grade into a great paper because the way she is grading in this class is ridiculous. I understand we only take one english class but cut us some slack. I hate when I work on something for like 4 damn weeks and really do the work I am supposed to and she just grades it so damn harsh. I am now fighting for a good grade in this class after this paper.

Hello everybody. How was your election day. Sadly I did not get the chance to vote today. The first problem with me and voting is if I do not know the issue or politicians stances on issues I can not feel good about voting for it. I did not really read up on many of the issues that where on the ballot we were supposed to be voting for. I am pretty sure I signed up to be eligible to vote my senior year in high school during american government for extra credit. I am not sure I did it properly and it was in cincinnati so I do not know if the area I lived before will be a problem if I try to vote here in columbus. I want to go online and see if there is a way to look these different problems up and if I can re register to be able to vote for the next election in columbus. I feel bad not being a voting citizen but I have become tired with all lying politicians and the whole fail system we currently have. My problem with all politicians is to become a politician in a good government position you have so many people or companies you owe a lot of favors for all the campaign contributions you were given. I also did not see a single commercial where a politician stands there and states how they feel. Instead all I see is a bunch of bullshit commercials where one politicians says how their opponent is ruining america and how voting for them will ruin your country.

Hey everybody. It is two fifteen in the morning and I really do not feel like doing this right now. I am to tired to write a blog. I wish I do not skip so many blogs before because now these are some that I defiantly have to do every day. I think it was dumb to skip so many in the beginning instead of spreading ten or eleven throughout the quarter. So I am going to start my paper tomorrow since we do not have to go to class. I have narrowed it down to two or three different topics so I will probably go to the thompson library with my laptop and pick my topic and start the first little bit of the paper. I like to go to the library because I am not distracted by my x box or my roomates because the only place that is quiet is my room but I always want to do something else. I am going to drop my accounting 310 class tomorrow so I think I will go to my 10 am class then do to denney to drop that class then go home to get my computer and eat then paper time. By the way I just checked my emails and got like 4 comments to reply to so I gotta be at at least 15 or 16 comments by now. How far off am I from the projected goal? I think I can do like 8 a day for like 2 weeks and be fine right?

Hey everybody. So I defiantly almost missed this blog today. I was not really thinking this morning and for some reason I kind of figured I already did it. I do not know I guess I was just not thinking for real haha. But so I had a pretty good halloween weekend. I really had a pretty crappy friday night. I did not really do anything because I did not feel all that well. On saturday I went to my buddy's house all the way on northwood. I really do not like living on eighth cuz that is like 15 blocks from my house. It is a pretty long trek to get pretty much anywhere on campus so I have to drink a decent amount before it is a decent walk back. But then after that party on northwood I found out that my friend was having his twenty first birthday party so I had to walk from like 15 minutes west of high street to summit and seventeenth which is so far away from there. It was a terrible walk but I was a little prepared if you know what I mean ha. But it was cool because I stayed there until like 5 in the morning. I got a ride home so I was super pumped about all that. Oh wow I defiantly just remembered we do not have class on tuesday and that really made me happy. I still do not think I am going to get around to voting though.

pretty sure we are on 38

Hey everybody. How ya doing? So today I got to enjoy the day without the need of writing a huge paper in the back of my mind all day. I just got to chill out at the house playing some fable 3. it was very fun. I think anyone who enjoyed playing fable one or fable two should really think about getting the third. It pretty cool you are supposed to be the son or daughter of you character from the first game with an evil older brother. Your brother is the current king and is driving his kingdom into poverty and pain so the whole beginning of the game you as the prince go around to all the different cities to build up followers to help you overthrow your evil king brother. They made the online really legit. Like in fable 2 you had to use some whack ass premade dud or chick with generic stats, but in this one you can actually use your dude in other peoples worlds. I did it for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I am kinda pissed though because I joined my buddy from cincinnati at a very key art of the story and learned a lot from later in the game the I was not supposed to know yet so it kinda made it a little more predictable. He made different decisions earlier in the game though so his story is different than mine so that kind of helps.

37

HEY EVERYBODY! I just finished my paper so I am super stoked to be done with all that but then again I am kind of bummed out because I gotta do this dumb blog and I still got that dumb carmen common place paper thing now and that is just way more paper to do ha ha. But for real I am so glad she is going top let us do the rewrite because I may be looking at a c or d for this paper if she going to grade it as hard as she says she wants to. But hey its the weekend I do not have to worry about it for at least a week. I feel like we should not have to blog on tuesday because I really feel that no matter how hard I try I will not be able to vote and blog in the same day. I mean I looked at the voting schedule and I compared it to my blogging schedule and I really just do not see any way for them to match up in a favorable fashion. So miss leslie chimbers? I plead to you do not make us blog on tuesday but not for our sake as students but for the sake of all the lying, cheating, conniving politicians who pretend to stand up for things that they in fact care nothing about. Please see it in you hearts to help those douchey politicians get another pay day. Haha no but really do whatever

Hey everybody. I am an idiot and missed a very important class today. I did not skip it or anything I just blatantly missed it. I was sitting in my comfy chair playing some fable III, it is a kick ass game for anybody wondering, and it was like noon so I figured I could play a little bit more without missing class so I did like 2 missions and just screwed around for a little bit and looked down at my phone and it was like two thirty. I was so pissed. I was planning on defiantly picking out my topic and starting to do some of the groundwork for the basics of my paper and now I am sitting here like a moron without a damn topic but I am a higher level in a damn video game. I am like a dumb ten year old skipping school to play x box and nap. But hell at least I did more work to my analytical research paper. I have gotten so much work done on it but every time I look at it there is way mor work than I have time to do. But hey I guess that is what the review or rewrite thing is all about. I am so glad she told us about that on tuesday because if she would have waited until today I would totally flipping out now because since I missed class today I would have no idea we got a second shot. It takes so much pressure off me to know that I will get a second try.

Hey everybody how you doing today? So my cousin is going to be here in like 15 minutes so I have write this real quick so I can go meet them. So we have this paper due on thursday and I am still kinda lost as to what I am going to write about. I spent my effort for english today thinking about my paper, researching more scholarly sources to use in my paper, and reworking the existing parts of my analytical research paper. So I mean I did not really have much effort to focus on writing but last night I got a little more done so that is what I will talk about? I think if I used the topic about what different problems are with the current US armed forces leadership I may call my uncle who was a Major in the army and served in Iraq twice where he received a bronze star. He left the military because he said he could not stand the officers who outranked him because they regularly made stupid decisions and were all incompetent fools who did not know how to do their own job and caused those under them to have to pick up the slack. I think this is a bad leadership technique. Oh by the way did anyone watch the calves play celtics tonight? After watching the celtics run all over the heat I figured we would probably lose but we beat their ass. Our bench played outstanding tonight.

Hello everybody. Did you enjoy walking back from class in the rain today. I can tell you I certainly did not enjoy it one bit. I wish our teacher lady would have let us go that one time when the rain let up. I know she could not and it was obvious but it still would have been really cool because riding back on my bike was awful especially since I did not bring a hoody or a jacket or anything. But about this common place paper. I did not know anything about it until she started talking about it today so I have not really put much thought into it yet but I guess it should not be too that hard because we get to branch off from a topic we have all hopefully researched pretty well. I plan on going with something along the lines of what may cause the bad leadership in the military, if there is any, or something like what makes a person in charge a good leader and how one goes through the process of becoming an ideal leader to their crew, squad, team, etc. I was pretty excited to find out we will be off on the next Tuesday. This was another piece of information I feel I should have know before today but it was another new fact for me today. I like how every class like one whole side of the room talks about pushing the paper back to a monday but we never ask her.

Hey everybody. Are you a football fan? How bout dem brownies ha. I was very pleased after watching the performance of my Cleveland browns today. I may originally be from Cincinnati but my whole family is from Cleveland their whole lives and moved to Cincinnati when our company had to open a branch down in Cincinnati. But really watching the browns stomp on the saints and it was a win I think we have needed for a while. Some of the trick plays we were pulling were really legit. The fake punt made me laugh so hard because the punter got like 80 yards. And then on a sad note my hometown team, the Cincinnati Bengals, played terrible the entire first half. I do not understand how you can score 3 touchdowns in 3 minutes in the second half but play like a damn high school team the whole first half. And then as they were driving down the field to start winning again Cedric Benson does some little juke move and there was no one within 3 feet of him and he just let the ball go giving the game away. All I can say is I am glad that this game was not shown here in Columbus because a game like that would completely take all the joy from the browns win that mad me so happy this afternoon. And tomorrow I get to go to the counselors to drop a class and change my major. Enough words

30ish? its for saturday

hey everybody. I know it is game time and I am definitely lame for sitting here writing a blog but I am terrible at doing them later in the day on weekends and they are extra mandatory for me for the rest of the quarter. But I do not know the topic so i think it is safe to just assume that writing about anything for two hundred fifty words should definitely be acceptable to her. But it is ok everybody I am not that lame I am watching the game while I write this stupid blog. We definitely look like we have a passable defense and they look like they will hold strong. I do not know what to think though because purdue is not a great offense or anything. Our offense is also looking pretty good its about the end of the first quarter and we have scored two times so I think that is acceptable. So a couple of weeks ago I found out some of my high school buddies lived literally 2 houses down from me and last night they had a pretty legit kegger. I mean it was legit until the damn cops show up at like one or two. I was mad because my buddies from the dorm last year were there and I did not get to see them because they showed up like 2 minutes before the cops. Would stick around if you did not know people at a house and the cops were chilling on the front proch? no. no one would its stupid.

blog 30 or something

hello everybody! I am getting this blog done extra early. usually I do them around 1 or 2 in the morning right before I go to bed not 2 in the afternoon, but if I do anything fun on saturdays or fridays I am normally not wiling to do a blog at night before I go to bed. Sometime even if I know I should have done it or I still have time to do it since it is a weekend on a college campus I might have had a little to much that night and be one hundred percent unable to even spell the address properly. Well after my meeting I found out i missed 14.8 blogs, I know doesn't that seem like a really weird number to miss, and only have 3 comments so I am going to need to buckle down and get this shit done. I know we will be getting extra credit for doing more than 100 comments but did she say how she is going to do it. Like will we get an extra credit point for every 5 comments over or is it like if you do more than 150 you get a flat out amount of points. Not trying to sound like a dick or anything but she does have some goofy policies so it could be anything I guess. So i have like 200 hundred words and I am out of talking ideas. Oh yeah I am pretty pumped because I just found out of few kids from my high school live like 2 houses down from me and they are throwing a kegger tonight and I am so ready for that. If anyone cool wants to come let me know haha.

So I have some bad news kids. I finally missed my first english class today. It was not intentional or anything I was just hang out around my house when I laid down on my couch at like noon or 12:30 and I guess I just happened to fall asleep. Well when I finally woke up from napping it was already like 1: 45 or 2 or something. Under normal circumstances I probably would have still gone but I figured since we were just working on papers I would be alright to just stay here and do it on my own where I will not have distractions like talking to other people. Well I guess that brings me to the actual blog topic... problems with my paper. I guess I am probably having the same problems as everyone else. Like right now I am still having trouble deciding what background information I am going to have to remove and what I am going to have to put in its place. I am going to have to discover a new argument or something because I am going to have trouble filling out a whole eight pages. I was thinking about completely removing my entire conclusion paragraph because as it is written now it looks pretty weak. Before i do something drastic like that I think I am going to move most of my background information to right after the introduction paragraph and the going with my real strong argument and follow that up with my 2 secondary ones. sorry for boring you

blog 28ish?

So today I defiantly almost missed my appointment thing with our teacher lady. I was sitting in my human anatomy class and I realized I had not eaten at all the whole day and I was extra hungry so I decided I was pretty sure I would have enough time to go back to my house on eighth walk to the Jimmy Johns on Neil then walk back and eat my sub. I probably should not have wasted my time riding my bike home then walking there because I got back to my house at like 4 50 or something and did not leave here till like five minutes before my meeting. I got there on time though so it is all good. I feel like the meeting helped me a lot with my paper though. I had some good ideas going into it and it was really helpful to discuss all that and she helped me decide what to remove. I thought these blogs where we could write about anything were the best in the beginning but even though I still like them more than most of the boring topics we have to write about these are hard because I have nothing to write about. Like I put these off all day because I know I am going to sit here staring at the computer writing down meaningless thing until I hit that magic 250. I don't even read other or comment because I know that mine is retarded and I figure everyone else's will be boring as well.

blog 27

so today i almost forgot to do my blog again but now after seeing my grade on the second paper rough draft I cannot to forget to do any more blogs. I mean if she is about to grade this paper as hard as she says shes going to then I am going to need to grab as much extra credit as possible. I was thinking about potentially just going to the writing lab thing like twice a day. I mean 1 percent extra credit would build up if after 4 weeks I had forty of them. It sounds like she really did not care how much anyone went. I do not know how i feel about our teachers logic as to why she is grading as hard as she says she is. I am not trying to be a dick or anything but how many other classes do you know where the first level class grades as hard as she is about to. Like she says we are not going to take another writing class but I am pretty sure most people are going to take a second writing course. I know I have to and i had to when I was a business major as well. And I assume that since its the second level it will probably be just as hard or maybe harder. But i guess it is all about the luck of the draw. I came in to this class with a different attitude and I guess I just got a class with a teacher more about tough grading. I am not trying to be rude I am just giving my opinion.

this blog

So I just saw my feedback for my paper and was really surprised. I worked hard on it and thought I did well but it appears our teacher did not agree even a little bit. I did work on my thesis and apparently I do not understand the whole deal with that. So I guess I am going to have to go to the writing center thing or whatever to improve it for the final draft. On a more positive note I got to see Matt Groening speak at the wexner and it was really cool. Futurama is my favorite show on tv and the simpsons is also a very legit show. He mostly talked about the simpsons and he talked about his comic strip thing hes been doing for a while now. He went into the backstory of the simpsons and stuff like their names. Its pretty cool like how the whole family besides bart is named named after his family and I thought it was interesting that he did not have anything to do with the naming of Abe, the grandpa, but the writers, without knowing, named him the same thing as Matt's grandpa. Oh and on another positive note I was at a party one day this weekend and me being an idiot dropped my wallet on the walk back to my house somewhere on worthing by 8^th. When I woke up I did not know it was gone but some random chick called my phone and dropped it off at my house. Like honestly at this point I am still curious how she got my phone number and apparently she called my mom as well. I have no idea how she did it but there's some good karma headed her way.

So yeah my computer has been broken for a last couple of days so I have been pretty behind on blogs as you can all see. But on a real note I am pretty glad to have finished that dumb paper today. So without a topic do we just write whatever on these or like is there a general topic we should be trying to write about? Since I am not sure I will just mention some fun things I have done lately. I have not really done much fun stuff this week because I am lame but its all good. I have basically just watched tv this week. I am really glad I have netflix because there is a nice assortment of cool shows as well as movies. I definitely just read everything I wrote and its pretty dumb but I guess blogging daily is not my best activity. I need to have this be two hundred and fifty words because I have a real fun party I am trying to go to but every time I hit the word count button its like, ”no buddy you are not done yet.” It is irritating but I guess all of you are dealing with this. I feel like I should have a cool idea or something to induce commenting but I currently can not think of a single thing to say that will cause people to have good comments that I can reply to so I get comments but hey we can't always get what we want.

this blog

I was not really sure what the blog of the day was supposed to be today so i think you would all just love a little snippet of my awful paper. The show “Firefly” has a great cast with many interesting characters who seem like they would not be ling together or even be friends outside of the ship and their duties. Captain Malcolm and his crew may be a group of misfits that do not get along but in the end they treat each other like family and even love each other. The episode I chose I think best represents how Malcolm looks at his crew. I chose to focus on the episode where Jayne tries to sell out Simon and River Tam to The Alliance. This episode is very important to the main story line because it really shows that Jayne is all about his payday and does not really care about the lives of other people; however. It also shows Captain Malcolm dedication to his crew no matter how long they have been with him on his ship or what they have done in the past.

In this episode Jayne is willing to turn Simon and River Tam to The Alliance for a large amount of money. The audience does not know the exact amount but since Jayne lives his life by the dollar you can assume it was a very large amount. Simon has to get River to an Alliance hospital because he need to give her a brain scan.

blog whatever we are on

After class today I realized I am terrible at writing in general and am going to have lots of trouble writing the rough draft due Friday. I realized I do not really understand what I am going to write about or what I am going to use as my thesis. I did decide that I am defiantly going to use firefly as the show I am going to use for my paper but I have not completely decided on what episode I am going to use. If I had to choose I think I would go with the episode we had to watch first where Captain Mal and his crew rob the train or the episode where Captain Mal defends Inara from the man that hired her to be his companion. As of right now I think I am going to use the episode about the train heist as the episode for my paper because it shows how the characters act towards each other and even though its not the first episode it is the first episode to air on television. I would use it as my episode because it shows Malcolm's mentality, Jayne's mentality, Zoe's mentality, and River was fully introduced to the viewers. I like this episode because it is easy to be confused about is going on. I think I am going to write this paper about one episode and change my mind after I turn it in and end up writing about a completely different episode because I am terrible at writing.

serenity

I just got done watching the firefly movie serenity. I think everyone should watch it who has watched the series because it ties up so many loose ends. My favorite part of the original season was the reavers and the whole lack of a story behind them and everything River did seemed like she knew to much. River was a very interesting character with a story that was really never told. The reavers have a really cool story that I do not want to ruin for everyone who plans on seeing it but they have a very surprising beginning that will catch everyone off guard. I mean its not like it explains everything but it shows how and why they originated but it does not give insight into what they did after after they were created so we still do not know how the reavers spread or what sustains them in deep space. The River issue is not totally resolved either but once again you learn her origination but not her total story. You finally learn why she is so wanted by the government and you also learn what was done to her by her old school and you find out what she is capable of. You find out that she was being prepared to be used as a weapon and her bursts of craziness during the season is controllable and the government has more control than you thought. Overall I think the movie is excellent and everyone needs to watch it. It is on netflix to watch instantly for free if you have netflix check it out.

blog 9 or 10?

Today I decided to re watch the episode where a crazy woman pretends to want to marry Captain Malcolm to scrap his ship. After watching the whole series and movie I enjoy re watching the older episodes because it helps you understand what is actually going on. Firefly is a show where a lot of what is major to the plot is very subtle most of the time. If you understand that his “wife” is in fact a companion then most of what she is doing is much easier to understand. The episode also reveals the fact that Inara actually is physically attracted to Captain Malcolm. The relationship between Inara and Malcolm is a very unique friendship and you can see how strained the relationship was many times throughout the show. The fact that Inara lies about it shows she does not want other people to know. I was actually really surprised that Mal was the only person to call her out on her terrible lie. I thought at least Simon would have wanted to inspect her head if she fell hard enough to become knocked out. I was also surprised that Mal did not realize she kissed him and immediately thought she kissed a girl. After watching this episode I really thought they would have gotten together before the show ended. I wonder if the show did not get canceled and went a few more seasons if they would have eventually gotten together. Also I am glad she does not end up leaving after the movie.

I liked the discussions we had in class today because it helped me look at all the events and how they connected into the future episodes. I think the train job is a good episode to watch after finally finishing the series. It helps show how the people on the crew felt initially and it foreshadows future events. It allows the viewers to understand that even though most of the crew makes their income through illegal jobs they still have morals and always look out for others and each other. The episode also reveals how even though Inara's profession may not seem noble she still is acting very high class and respectable. The audience also sees how the doctor may eventually become accepted and welcomed by the whole crew even if it has not happened yet. You can infer that the doctor and his sister River will stick around because they have been accepted by Captain Malcolm and the doctor shows he has a good work ethic and is very useful and in deep space anyone useful who can work would be nice to have around.Nisko is another character that was introduced in this episode who proves to be a very key character later in the series. Nisko is also important because it seems whenever he goes he tests the trust and loyalty of people. One of his henchman proves loyalty to Nisko and continuing evil while Nisko tests the commitment of Mal's crew without his knowledge. The fear he instills in his enemies almost caused the crew to abandon their captain and good friend Zoey.

Unless you watched all of firefly you probably shouldn't read this because I will probably ruin it for you. I finished watching them today and I really liked the way the characters evolved throughout the show. Of all the characters River was my favorite because she started as a freak or an outsider and becomes the largest threat to the crew not only because she is wanted but because shes has moments of craziness where she attacks Jane or where she is pointing a loaded gun at people without realizing it. I am not sure yet but I think I might write my paper about the season finale because that is River's most important episode; however I will probably watch the full movie tonight because I am very interested in how the show plays out. I am not sure but it seems like the shows creators did not intend to end the series with that episode. Plus I liked the reavers a lot and I am pretty sure they are a big part of the movie. Oh I was not sure which blog to put it in but everybody who likes the show should at least watch the Halloween episode because Rick Castle, who is the captain on firefly, is dressed in his regular firefly clothes. When someone asks what he is supposed to be he looks at them all goofy and says," A space cowboy!!" I thought it was really funny. Anybody have any ideas about what I should watch next? I looked at the list and I haven't watched any other ones so it will be a random guess if I pick.

Let me start this blog by saying I am awful at writing and these blogs get more difficult every day I have to write I have been watching a lot of firefly in the last couple days because its on netflix. I thought the intro would eventually grow on me but in fact it gets more and more annoying every time I watch it and I really think its the reason the show got canceled. The episode I decided to watch is later in the series so I may accidentally ruin it for people who have not watched to far into the series. By the way I know most of the characters from other shows and I forget most of the characters names so I will refer to the pilot as Steve (Steve the pirate from dodge ball). I thought the whole scene where Steve and Malcolm are being tortured and the whole conversation about sleeping with Steve's wife was going to be a huge change in the show and it turned out to be a something to laugh at. I could tell he was using it to help Steve the pilot stay alive once again showing how good he is at his career. Captain Malcolm shows over and over that he is more than just a lowly criminal but a man who cares deeply about his crew. I think I am going to watch the rest of the show and the movie soon because this is a really good show, but I also think everyone should watch Castle and a few episodes of the early seasons of Chuck so you can see how bad ass Jane is as Casey and how cool Malcolm is as Rick Castle.

The Train Heist was a really good episode for many reasons. It was much different than the pilot episode because it made the audience realize that the crew and captain are not just about the money or that they are not criminals but good people struggling to get by in an unfair universe. The crew shows how doing the right thing can cause old friends to become enemies but in the end it all good because the captain is a bad ass and he will kick you into an engine.==This episode also shows how even though the captain is wiling to risk his life on a regular basis for his crew but his some of them do not return the favor. Adam Baldwins character shows that he is willing to leave his captain for cash. I think he may have been paid off by the mole in the previous episode because he had a knife to ct the rope. Even through all that the show still has really funny lines. Best line of the show was when Adam Baldwin's character went crazy and the captain said, "did he go just crazy and fall asleep?"

Today I watched the pilot for Firefly and really enjoyed the show. I defiantly think the introduction may be the worst on tv in a while. The song is pretty whack and they really could have done much better for that. I mean the show is really good but the intro may be the reason it got canceled. No but really I like how the crew for the ship is all bad ass. I saw Adam Baldwin from the NBC show Chuck and he was pretty much the biggest bad ass in the show and he defiantly stepped his game up in this show.
I really like the characters on the ship because it seems like for every main character on the show has a foil or opposite character. I like the relationship between the captain and the shepherd and think if he stays with series he may be a very important character. I like the way they mixed the sci-fi space adventure with a western. I think it makes the show very unique amongst other sci-fi shows. At times I feel like it makes the show kind of ridiculous but when it's ridiculous it gets pretty funny. For instance when they go to sell the food stuff or whatever they stole and the lady and her gang ride out on horses its kinda dumb but at the same time it makes the scene much more interesting. By the way the federal mole looked just like Jim Carrey and he annoyed me.

My name is John Kurz and I am a Sophomore. I am from a high school Cincinnati called Sycamore. I have wrestled since I was in fourth grade and wrestled for team Ohio my sophomore and junior years of high school. I am pretty mad at myself for waiting so long to take freshman English, but I don't really mind because this seems like a cool class because I don't mind the kind of shows we are going to watch. I have seen "Castle" and the main character who plays Rick Castle is the main character in "Firefly."+++ I am a pretty bad writer so I don't think I like the idea of doing one of these blogs every night. English has never been a class I have been good at or liked at all. I have always been good at math and science and I have normally taken those kinds of classes in high school and college. I think since I am so bad at this class I am going to try harder so I can become a better writer since basically every job on earth requires a decent amount of writing skills. I hope by doing these blogs every night I can hopefully become a half decent writer, and since I will be able to write about something that is pretty interesting to me. I think my roommates may have most of the shows on DVD so I will be able to watch them at my house and not have to deal with all the trouble of going to the library or central classroom.
