So if youd like to give me some you know where to find me. Oh yeah and if any one is willing enough to give me birthday gifts feal free to, trust me I dont mind at all. So yeah I hope everyone has a good halloween and be safe.

Bus Rides

So this past weekend my team mates and I had to go on a 13 hour bus ride to Nebraska Karney. Driving on a bus for 13 hours with a bunch of football players is horrible. Luckly I got a seat next to one of the skinniest people on the team. We arrived in Nebraska at 930pm. and had to wake up the next day and play a football game at 1pm. After we lost once again we had to get right back on the bus and drive all the way back home.

Post Homecoming

So homecoming weekend is over and it wasnt what I wanted to be like nore expected it to be like. It started off good with the parade that my teamates and I got to walk in. I was one of the lucky 20 or so players that got to ride on the top of the fire truck, which ive never done before. That was a cool experience. Then the bondfire was allright there was food and beverages there, as well as a dj who played some ok music. I was there with some of my team mates so we tried to make the best of it. The actuall fire was huge I've never seen one so big, you had to stand far away other wise you would be to hot. The worst part of the weekend though was the game, just for the simple fact that we lost to a team that I didnt think was all that great on Homecoming weekend. Dont get me wrong they were good but not 47 to 7 good. Loosing is bad enough but loosing at home in front of all of our piers, teachers, and ect is even worse. Im not youse to loosing so I dont take it so well. So id like to apologize for our poor performance on saturday. Thanks for the support and hope that you guys continue to come out and support my team mates and I.

Video Games

Video games are amazing. Not just because I like to play them, but the evolve so fast and continue to get better with time. The pin ball machine was a huge deal back then and its crazy to know that they are still around. There just new and improved. When Atari came out it took the world by suprise and the games that were played back then are still around today. Now a days there are all types of games, they have games that alot of people dont even know about. Almost every electronic device has a game installed to it. You can download games onto your computer and phone. I dont know anyone who does not play games. My personal favorite type of games are sports games, paticularly Madden, NCAA Football, and NBA 2k9, so whoever wants to loose you no where to find me. Oh yeah and I play Halo as well.

Home Sweet Home

So ive been here in Durango for the past 3months, and i cant wait to go back home to California. I miss my house and just being in the city. Durango is cool and all but im not use to being this cold and it hasnt even started snowing yet. Back home in California its still nice and warm. I miss my moms my dog and everything else about home. Our team loosing isnt making this stay any better, but I am not a quitter so I have to stick it out. But let me tell you I cant wait till Thanksgiving.

The Express

The Express is the movie about a african american football player who went threw alot of controversy to win the heisman trophy award. Ernie Davis attended Syracuse College and played running back. Even though I havent seen this movie myself Ive heard from friends of mine that this movie was really great. So when you get a chance go see it.

Stock Market

With our upcoming election many young americans need to know the ergency of voting. With people like Bush in office we are headed for another great depression ,a prime example being the current loss in the stock market. Which was recorded the worst since 1989 ,with the dow dropping dramatically several young americans as well as old lost a great deal of money and respect for the economy, but with great risk comes great gain so as far as the election goes we as americans have to gamble ,but if we dont take that risk we will eventually move back instead of forward.

I Tunes

Since I tunes hit the scene it has taken the world by suprise. I tunes is now a huge mass media which alot of people use. I tunes took music to a whole nother level. Having the abilaty to have any song you want right in front of you at a computer is amazing. Sooner or later people will not use cd's any more. Its amazing how you can have music on your computer one minute and the next its on your ipod or just saved to your hard drive on your computer. It sucks for the artist who make the music because it can easily be stolen off the computer even though its illegal people do it any ways. but its jus amazing how much technology grows.

Outfoxed

Outfoxed was a wild and crazy movie for me to wathc and listen to. I could never watch ne thing on fox the same way I have before. Before watchn this movie fox use to be one of my favorite channels. I use to watch the news and all of the little televisions shows that they broadcast. Now when I watch fox I will really pay attention to what they say and pick at all the little comments and remarks they say. Im glad I decided to take this mass comm class, it makes me look at media in the world a whole lot differentely. I cant beleave how biast and one sided they are. It sucks to hear that they cut out things that people say and twist it and make them seam like a bad person. I see now how easy it is for mass media groups to cut out and change things

Homecoming weekend

So this weekend is homecoming weekend, and unlike high school their is not a big school dance or any of that fun stuff lol. Though since I play for our school football team it is still looked at as a big weekend for me. We play Chadron State College which has been the best team in the confrence for the past how ever so many years. I know our team dosnt have the best record this year, but we still have a good chance to win. It will be a good game. Besides the game this weekend, there will be a parade I beleave to be on Main St. and a Bond Fire here on campus Frideay night at 7:30pm. So the team and I would be very greatfull if the school and the people of Durango could come out and support us this weekend.
The game is Sat October 18 at 12:30pm

Group Presentations

Well today in class we sumed up all of the group presentations, my group in I hapen to be the last group to present. We did our presentation on the iphone which we felt to be a good topic. We had some strong points and had a good number of facts. Ill admit that there were a couple of things that I could have done to make it better, but its ok I will live with what is already done. For the rest of my class I beleave that everyone did a great job. Everyone had a good amount of research and you could see it. My personal favorite would probably have to be the group that did the Wii though. But good job to everyone.

Photoshop

I allways kind of knew that pictures were allways tweaked with a little bit. But watching that film in class makes me look at pictures completely different. Its like wut you see isnt really wut it is. In a way it is fake. People like to see and know the truth, and personally i feal as if we the people are being lied to sometimes.
