Blog 20: My favorite movies

Most of the people that know me know that i love watching movies. I was brought up watching all theStar Wars movies because my dad owns every single movie even on laser disc he has the whole collection. He says that when he passes away he will leave me his collection. (Pretty sad huh) But actually i like all types of movies even if their in black and white. One of my favorite movies has to be Bedazzled. It is hilarious to me and the many characters that Branden Frasier portrays are even more hilarious. Another good movie that may not be as known to people is The Red Violin, when i saw that movie it made me want to start playing my violin again. I did not expect to like the film that we were going to see in class but i actually liked it a lot. Movies that i recently went to go watch were Up and Transformers, i really liked them both. I usually like comedies and action. I do not like horror films at all. All the horror films of today are repeats and are really dumb in my point of view. The only horrorfilms that i like are the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Exorcist. I might sound childish but i love all the Disney movies from the cartoons to the animated ones. My favorite Disney movie i would have to say is The Little Mermaid.( i know cheesy but i like it) One of my all time favorites is Mrs. Doubtfire, i love Robin Williams he is my favorite actor, another one of his movies that i love is What Dreams May Come.

Blog 19: Word Bank Poem

CIRCUS

Salty popcorn, melting ice cream

Gathering minds

Magic falling endlessly

Shouts slowly disintegrate

Rotating shiny rings

Dancers gliding peacefully

Turquoise, green, fuchsia clothes

Pure magic

Enormous aggressive felines,

eating rambunctiously

Blog 18: Blogging

Blogging, mmmmm it is not something i like very much. After this class ends i seriously doubt that i will ever blog again. Like I’ve said i think more than once i hate computers!!!!! One good thing that came out of blogging is that first of all i learned what blogging meant! I had no idea what the teacher meant about blogging i was lost in space the first day at school and i felt like a sinking ship. Once i read the directions and did it more than once i got use to it and learned to understand it . Yes i know i must sound so ignorant not knowing alot about computer stuff but what ever happened to pencil and paper? Journaling seems more easier to me but in a way journaling is more like a diary because you do not share it with any one. On the other hand blogging lets you interact and see other people’s stories and point of views. I think that was pretty cool that you can relate to other people’s experiences but at the same time it can be a little bit embarrassing too. One thing that i will not forget is sitting home Sunday nights trying to cram 5 bloggs in a computer while everyone in my family were watching movies and having fun. But that’s my fault for procrastinating like i always do. In a way it helped me to see that i need to do all my assignments as fast as possible!!

Blog 17 :“Sing, sing a song…”

When i was younger i use to play the violin, i loved playing it. I played it for four years. I had this dark brown mixed with this yellow violin that i loved like nothing that i have ever loved before it was my own instrument. My mom got me into taking classes and private classes to learn and honestly at the beginning i was not really i guess you can say inspired to learn. I wanted to play the saxophone for some reason but my mom insisted that i needed to play the violin. Once i started learning how to play the music that came out of that instrument was so beautiful. It was not the typical kind of music that i liked but it gave me a chance to be more open minded. My favorite song to play was the Ukrainian bells carol. The viola, bass, or Cello were other instruments that belong in the orchestra family but the violin was my favorite. I learned how to read music and that was really hard for me especially when i first started. My tutor was a lady from Siberia who has played the violin since she was 3 years old literally three years old!!  She plays in well known symphony’s and concerts. The way she played the violin could make any one cry in disbelief of how beautiful it sounds. She would make me practice alot and until i would get it down perfect. Unfortunately i moved away and never continued playing recently my mom  bought my sister a new violin but i wish i still had my first one.

Blog 16 :Stress relief

Stress! One thing i do not handle very well. Usually i only stress about school but sometimes it can be about many things. I handle my stress by watching TV, listening to music, or just talking to my mom. When i watch TV it just takes my mind off my stress for a while but it still remains on the back of my mind. When i get really stressed i usually get really bad migraines. I actually had to go to the doctor to get prescription pills for my migraines because nothing else worked. My migraines get so bad that my head feels as if it were to explode. ( kind of like theguys head that exploded in men in black) Listening to music is something i do when i just do not want to listen to any one and i just want to be by myself. My last option is my mom but that’s when i am really stressed i try not telling her my problems because i do not want  to stress her out. But when i do tell her my problems it reliefs my stress so much. I know some people like to exercise or run when their stressed if anything i would like to get into that habit. Not only is exercise good for you but it also gets you into shape plus you relief your stress. In the end i do not stress out as much as i use to because it is not worth it.

Blog 15 :Assessing ourselves

Over these past four months i really have not noticed a change in me. Ive learned to be my self even if people do not like me for it. I treat people the way that they treat me even if its in a good way or bad way.( which is not very nice some times) I also noticed that since the time i got out of school in january to now i became very lazy. But now that i am back in school i got out of that nasty habbit plus i remembered how it feels to have stress. I learned who my real friends are and there the ones i still keep in contact with. After graduating i lost contact with mostly everybody but its a relief in a way. I learned that life is not as easy as it seems . I recently quite my job at Allstate because it was alot of stress. Plus i did not like having to call people selling and trying to make them change to Allstate Insurance. I guess you can say i was one of those annoying people who calls and leaves messages on the phone twice or more a day trying to convince them that our car insurance is better.  To be honest i do not know how people who have full time jobs still have time to go to college i admire them honestly because i think its hard enough having to do alot of work at school and yet they still have to go to work and plus the home work that is given.

Blog 14: Enlarging Your World

Well i don’t really know if this is a blog but i googled best blogs ( i really suck at using computers and blogging and all that stuff).  I found a article or blog or what ever it is called that talks about the year 2012. The name of it is called Doomsday and Bible Codes Prophecy. I love researching these type of topics because it really makes me think.  It talks about how the end of the world is going to come due to catastrophes. It is tied in with propheces from the Bible. I don’t really read the Bible but i believe that there is going to be rapture when Jesus comes to take his believers. I took some Bible classes when i was in my vacations in Mexico and they elaborated on the sequence of events that would occur if the world would come to an end. Although the Bible groups teacher said that in his opinion the world is going to come to and end much sooner than 2012.  I really enjoyed learning about the Bible even though i do not commit myself to going to church as much as i need to but its something i need to work on and change. All these sayings about the end of the world are also connected to Nostradamus and the Mayan Calender. I have watched many shows on the history channel about the end of the world. There are countless sayings about the future but it does not worry me. I am not worried or paranoid if its true or not all i know is that only God knows the answers to everything and that he does everything for a reason.
