Pila Humeante de las Palabras, final de blog

I decided that my last blog of the semester should be somewhat of a reflective essay about this class. Coming into English 110 I didn't care about writing, or even want to be there. Basically the only reason I was even in the class is because English is a requirement in my degree progress. I thought that the class was going to boring, and that I would do horrible in it.

After meeting Stephanie, I realized that the class would be a lot of work but contrary to my belief could be a lot of fun. As the weeks progressed I got more and more into my writing, and I learned quite a few things that I hadn't ever cared about before. I now looking at writing as a talent and priviledge, and not as a punishment. English 110 was actually one of my favorite classes this semester, aside from my Film Class. Although I didn't enjoy all of the writing assignments, I felt they had some significance on me. They all brought me out of my shell, and helped me learn that I could write things out of my own orthodox world.

I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet Stephanie, and to experience this class. I think that Stephanie is an excellent teacher. After having English 110, I did everything in my power to get in Stephanie's 111 class. I'm really looking forward to next semester. I believe that my writing is going to improve significantly over the next two years here at ICC.

***Thou Shall not spill thy seed***

Family Guy is by far the funniest, yet most controversial shows on television. It is one of my favorite shows, and I'm sick of people complaining about what the show is doing wrong. Sure it is blasphemous to some and very derogatory to others. Oh well....don't watch it if you don't like it. One example of blasphemy was on an episode that I watched last night. Lois was the new church organist, and the priest was reading out of the bible. He said "and the lord said thou shall not spill thy seed in your dirty gym sock, shove it to the bottom of the hamper and pretend it has been there forever." I busted out laughing so hard that I almost choked on my water I was drinking. My friend, being a bible banger was instantly defended,which is understandable. He told me to turn it off and I told him that he knew what he was getting into when he started watching it. It isn't blasphemy to an Aetheist or too someone who can take a joke. Another thing he gets offended by is all of Stewie's gay innuendo, which again I find fucking hilarious. In the new episode last night, Brian took his new fiancee up stairs to make love to her, in Stewie's room. You see Stewie's cib fly out of the room, bounce off a wall, fly down the stairs, and out the front door. When Stewie gets i the front yard, the sprinklers turn on and spray all over his face. He starts rubbing it in and says, "Ooh Shia, hit me with all you got." Again I'm dying, knowing that he is talking about Shia Labeouf.

Family Guy is just hilarious. Anyone that gets offended by it should be committed in my opinion. Time to grow up or stop watching the show. Come on people. This shit is great.

Me as a writer ****

I dont really know how I'm improving as a writer. Life has been extremely hard lately and it has been taking a toll on my writing. My grandma had to have another surgery for her cancer, my friend committed suicide, and work has been hell. That was wednesday two weeks ago and it hasnt got much better. I've been working my ass off, and I feel like I havent accomplished a fucking thing lately.

One thing that I have realized though is when I do sit down lately, my writing seems to flow pretty well. I havent had much of a chance to write lately because I have been at work all the time, and havent had a keyboard. Oh yes....that piece of shit broke too. I'm not trying to ramble here but Im so damn frustrated with my writing and life in general right now.

I am not real sure how I'm doing on this Ad Analysis. It is very confusing too me because I have never done any writing like this before. Derick did my peer response and that helped me out a lot, I think. I am just trying to get my mind back into the game and write better. Life is starting to turn around a little bit finally so we will see what happens. I really need to get a new keyboard because it s very hard to type when I have to keep retyping everything. Im setting a goal to get my mojobck thogh. LOL.
