I would honestly be shocked if anyone has not at least heard of this game yet. Of course, this is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The biggest selling launch in entertainment history. With November, 10th sales at 4.2 million copies sold, and a take of $380 million dollars. Infintity Ward made this particular poster purposefuly vague so as to give the fan the ability to imagine how the game would play and give it just enough detail so as to make it suspenseful. With those kind of first day launch statistics, they succeeded in all accounts. It is truly a fantastic game.

This is really an awesome game. I never thought I would ever get so into games as much as i did, but i actually like playing this one. It’s held me back from doing homework so many times that i get mad at myself sometimes. Just like metallicarules said, they added just enough detail to this picture to make it suspenseful, and i agree. The only thing that really is clear in the picture is the character to the left holding the gun. The rest of the picture is in a blurr making a person wonder what the game could really be about. It’s a great game though. Infinity Ward really went all out with this one. Selling 4.2 million copies on the first day; I’m sure they feel accomplished.

As I was browsing through pictures looking for what image i could use for my essay, I came across quite a few pictures of 3D artwork that’s actually drawn with chalk on sidewalks. The person who took this picture is trying to show how imaginative some artists are. I think it’s very difficult to draw something like this and make it look so realistic. There are many 3D images that look a lot better, but i liked this one in particular because of the little girl standing on the edge of the building. I find it funny how she bends over as if she was trying to look down from the top of the building. It left me wondering how realistic these drawings may be.

Teens Trying to Get Pregnant

This article is about teenage girls actually trying to get pregnant. It shows how the mothers of these girls feel, and allows an open chatroom for people to discuss it. In the chatroom their seems to be a general agreement that teen girls shouldn’t try to take this path, and if I were in their position I’d feel the same way. It seems like such an odd situation to me, because I’ve never met a teenage girl that wanted a baby.All of the girls I know spend a good deal of time making sure they avoid it. I don’t understand why anybody would want to have a baby so early in life. It would make so much more sense to wait until your done with high school at the very least. Or ideally, go to college and get a decent career started so you have something to build on and give your family a good life and aren’t on welfare struggling for money.

Wow! This is pretty much unbelievable. I read the article and it talkes about teens actually trying to get pregnant. If i were to find out that one of my little sisters was trying to do that, I would react just like the angry mother’s did on this article. This is just trying to let parents know whats going on right now and to really take care of their little girls. I mean, teenagers having babies, that’s something that just isn’t right. They know nothing about raising a child. The waking up in the middle of the night, the money that one spends, and basically throwing away your young years to raise that child. It’s something that needs a lot more thought to it. It’s not something we can re-do. Once a baby is born, we have to take responsibility for him/her.

It’s that time of the year again. I’m posting this because Thanksgiving Day is almost here and its something I’m really looking forward to. The wonderful dinner, and not to mention the time off of school. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to it as much as i am. I think the person who illustrated this picture was trying to be a bit humorous with it. Ofcourse, turkey is a big thing around Thanksgiving time so poor little turkey tries to disguise himself so he won’t get killed. He doesn’t want to be one of the turkeys that has to go in that burning hot oven and sit at the dinner table while the whole family takes pokes and stabs at him.

Mass Murder

Week 8

Wow, there are not enough words to describe the sorrow I have for the people involved in this shooting. To think that this happened in Texas is scary and for it to have been by a doctor adds to it even more. A mental Health doctor went on a rampage and started shooting people out of nowhere. It is an awful situation, leaving 12 dead and 31 wounded. I cannot believe that this actually happened. I know people going to Fort Hood soon so I am praying for them and I hope that all goes well. They are in my thoughts and so are the people involved in this horrific situation.

The story is very traggic.The number of people affect are not only in the U.S but around the world.

Everyone heard about what happened in Fort Hood, Texas because of that Psychiatrist that went nuts. I can’t blame hime though, he had to deal with other people’s problems along with his own problems. It was still no reason to have done what he did. He murdered and wounded his fellow soldiers, the people who he’s supposed to be defending. He betrayed his soldiers along with the country who he was to defend. I just feel bad for all the people he wounded and for the families of the people he killed. I know they’re all in a tough time.

I was talking with a couple of friends the other day and for some reason we started talkin bout Pokemon. We were just laughing at how much we used to love that show and those characters. We had t-shirts, trading cards, shoes, and pretty much everything that pertained to Pokemon. In this picture here, the guy looks a little creepy, but it either shows the guy trying to advertise the Pokemon, or he might be showing the love he has for Pokemon. Either way, it shows the fact that Pokemon was “big” among people. I’ve even seen cars with Pokemon drawings all over it and painted yellow as if it was the most famous Pokemon of them all, Pikachu.

I about DIED laughing when i first saw this! The dad videotaping this video was trying to catch a funny moment that his song had as a child. Its just hilarious what little kids do and say. I think the funniest ages are when kids are toddlers, they say exactly whats on their mind. This poor kid was being so sincere about his concern for his brother and to have his dad just laugh at him made him so frustrated, I think I would have reacted in the same way!

I saw this video and I thought it was hilarious. I think the guy recording this video was just trying to show the concern that the little boy had for his brother. I guess he saw blood on his little brother’s cheek and he just tried telling someone. Unfortunately, his dad probably wasn’t the best person to have told. His dad was just laughing at him, which made the little boy angry. I think that was the funniest part of the video though. Being able to see the kid’s facial expressions and listen to his voice as he got angry was hilarious. Poor kid.

“ One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

I was just browsing through a few quotes one day and i found this one. I thought it was pretty interesting. It’s just basically saying live life to where you know you lived a good life. Live life to where you know you’re going to enjoy it and be able to look back at it say you had a good time. I like the way it was worded for some reason, because at the first sentence of the quote made it seem like it was going to be about somethin completely different. Then I read the second part and thought it was a bit funny.

How To Tell People They Sound Racist (via illdoc1)

W5

In this video, Jay Smooth explains how to talk to someone about a racist remark or action. While he can be really funny, I think his goal in creating this video is serious and totally related to rhetoric and all the stuff we do in class. Jay analyzes the most effective way to reach an audience. The choice between telling someone “you’re a racist” and “what you did was racist” is the choice between having your audience shut down and refuse to listen to you and having the possibility of an open debate (how was that racist? who does it hurt? why are you offended? and so on).

I think he’s reaching out to a younger (maybe 17 to 35ish) audience. By including a subtle beat behind his explanation, he gives his talk a musical feeling that younger watchers probably respond to. I love how he uses the pauses in the background music. Just like we can do in our writing, he draws special attention to certain phrases by removing any other distractions.

What he was talking about is a good tip on how to confront situations where you think someone is being racist. Honestly, I didn’t pay as much attention to what he was saying like I did to the way he was saying it. I really liked the way he presented this video. When he spoke, it felt like he was reciting a poem by the way the words flowed together. Also, the few breaks he took between fragments felt similar to the way a poet at open mic would do their spoken word. It makes me wonder if he has experience in spoken word.

Even though I feel that racism isn’t that bad of an issue as it was in the past, this video still seems helpful. It’s better to focus on “what they did” rather than “what they are”. It wasn’t mentioned in the video, but some people may be offended by saying they are racist. The guy in the video puts out a good example when he mentions someone stealing his wallet. He says he’s not going to chase them down for what they are(thieves), he’s going to chase them down for what they did (steal his wallet). I liked the way that related to the point he was trying to send across.

Warning: Contains a few curse words.

Z-Ro is probably my favorite artist right now, and his been for quite a few years. I like him because he raps about stuff that people can relate to and not just about cars, clothes, and stuff that people these days rap about. This song in particular, is from his new album Cocaine, and he talks about trying to get to the top and do better and also still maintain his spot on the top. He also talks about having a good friend who would tell him what was right and what he should do. I think in most of his songs he talks about his life and tries to send a message to the youth to strive for better, but to still remember their past and where they came from.
