What is to much?

We watched a video on the lizard man. This guy went as far as splitting his tongue, tattooing his body to look like scales, and even implanting things in his head to look more like a lizard. Is that to much? My thought is how are you going to get a job? Or how are you going to feel when you're 75 years old? I guess it's the way he wants to live but I don't see it as much as a life. He's looked at constantly, he most likely can not get a professional job, and he's going to look horrible when he's much older. I think this is a bit to much.

Video Project

Making a video for a paper was great. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice change of pace after writing several papers. It was fun to get into groups and have a little fun. Even when making a video on writing a research paper, we still managed to have fun. Everyone's videos were done really well and fun to watch.

What is in that chicken nugget?

A presentation was made and it was about what was really in your fast food. Can I just say one thing? Ewwww!! It was so gross. I could not believe that is what we ingest. I'm not sure what exactly is in it, but whatever it is, it doesn't age. Meaning that once in our body, it doesn't break down. The stuff that they put in the nuggets is even worse. It's a pink paste made up of all different animals and pressed out. Will I stop eating this? Probably not.

Proofread, proofread, proofread

Proofreading is extremely important. Even if you think you are the best writer in the world, you should still proofread. The best thing to do is, after a paper is written, step away for an hour. When that hour pasts then go back and read it. That way your brain will tell you what you are really reading and not what it has memorized. Silly mistakes will most likely appear.

Graffiti

When learning about graffiti a question was asked whether or not it was vandalism. Surprisingly a lot of people said yes. They said if something was inappropriate or offended some one then it was then vandalism.

Guest Speaker

We had a guest speaker in class. His name was Jason. He cam in to talk to us about tattoos. He had a tattoo but told us it was a cover up. His previous tattoo was done unprofessionally and at a young age at a music festival. It didn't have any meeting and was not in good shape. He got that tattoo covered up with a purple coy fish. He then proceeded to tell us the meaning behind the tattoo. This time the meeting was much more meaningful then a whim at a music festival. When asked if he thought tattoos were graffiti on people. He said that he thinks that most tattoos that people get are art and it may even tell a story.

Facebook

A Facebook blog was brought up in class. Instead of having a blog through Google we should have ir through Facebook. I personally think that it's a great idea. Almost everyone is on Facebook all the time. It would be so much easier to write on Facebook, then go to a separate site like Google.
