The new Nightmare on Elm Street was actually a very good movie. I didn't think it would be very good because Robert Englund didn't play Freddy Krueger in this new movie. Jackie Earle Haley played Freddy in this new movie, and he was kind of timid in my opinion. The graphics in the new movie were so much better than the old ones because it actually looked like Freddy was really burnt instead of just makeup. The acting in the movie was pretty good this time. The kill scenes were pretty graphic and bloody.
When we were at the movie a friend and I were laughing and scaring the shit out of the other people in the movie. It was kind of crazy tho because it seemed like everyone else in the movie was pretty scared for most of the time. I would recommend that everyone goes and sees this movie, and get your own opinion.

Playoffs are a Joke
The NBA playoffs are probably the biggest joke I have seen this year. The way that it is set up, all the great teams are playing the most horrible teams. Half of the teams that are in the playoffs this year are a fluke, in my opinion. I mean come on, Bulls vs. Cavaliers. Lakers vs. Thunder. That is a joke in itself. If the Thunder or Bulls win any games at all, I will be surprised. I think that Lebron James can beat the Bulls by himself. The Bulls have some talent in Derick Rose, but he is not a one man team like Lebron. Then you have Joakim Noah who can talk shit better than he can play basketball. Noah has been in the news three times in the past week, talking shit about people and places. He has been talking major smack about Kevin Garnett who dominates Noah in every way possible. Noah has been in the news twice this week for dissing Cleveland. (Which are beating the Bulls 2-0)The Thunder having scoring leader Kevin Durant, still can't touch the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant. The whole Lakers team is sound, where as the Thunder only have Durant who impresses me. Let's make these match-ups a little fairer.

Im not dumb anymore.....YAY!!!!
Hmmm....me as a writer. Let me start of by telling you that for the past couple weeks I definitely have not even begun to think of myself as writer. My brain has been broken and I haven't really been able to write anything. I've fallen way behind on my Argumentative papers; which really pisses me off because I was ahead of schedule on the first one. I wasn't able to write any music lyrics or even write a blog last week. Nothing was coming to me and it just sent my head and my grades into a downspiral. I don't think the fact that I wasn't feeling good last week helped out much with the whole situation, either.
I think my brain resurrected early this week because I'm starting to flow back into things. I wrote my whole second paper in the past couple days, and think it is alright. Of course it is my shitty first draft so I'm gonna need some revisions. I'm hoping that I dont have this problem again and that I can bring these grades back up quick. I mean B+'s are good, but I'm not content with them. WORD!!!

Me as a writer....again.
I think I'm coming a long ways with my writing and writing processes. I flowed through my first paper about implementing cellular phones into a college level scholastic setting. I found that it was very easy for me to do research on this subject because I'm very interested in it. I also wrote more than was required because I felt that it couldn't be discussed properly in only four pages. I'm having a little more trouble with my other papers because I'm basically suffering from writer's block. I have no clue what to write about or even how to think of a topic, at this point. I'm not really worried about it because I know it will all come back to me soon. I will just have to work a little bit harder to get the other three papers done instead of being done early with the first one. I have found that revisions are coming way easier to me than they used too. I know the revision process is supposed to be long and tedious but the more experience that I have with it, the easier it is becoming. I think I need to just get cracking on these last papers and get them done. That's really all I have to offer to the blog this week, though.

You're Such a Dumb Bitch!!!
Okay so I’m sitting here right now, pretty pissed off and extremely frustrated. I thought that I needed to blog about it too see if anyone has had the same problem as me. I feel like one of my teacher’s plays way to much favoritism and it pisses me off. I won’t mention any names but I am pretty sure of this. See….I bust my ass in this class and takes notes. I study all the time and I’m still barely pulling a D- in the class. The reason why I’m saying this teacher plays favoritism is for a few reasons. A friend and I worked together on many assignments without the teacher knowing, just so I could prove my point that she doesn’t like me and plays favoritism. We are allowed to work together on our lab assignments but I didn’t use my regular partner. This teacher helps certain people out with their problems. If you get an answer wrong she tells them the right answers for future study references. For my little experiment a friend and I had the exact same answers on the assignment. The teacher checked mine thoroughly and told me that I had every single one of them right. She then checked my lab partners immediately after mine and told him five or six different things that he had wrong, and proceeded to tell him the right answers to study for the test. Another example of her unfair antics includes tests and quizzes. She gives us a quiz and I have the exact same answer as others when we receive them back, yet I have a lower grade. What the hell kind of shit is that? I miss a single day of class and contact her with a valid reason in order to make up any missed assignment. She then refuses to give me the makeup assignment and says that I failed to contact her, even though I show her proof that I did. Yet others in class don’t contact her and miss at least 1-2 classes a week and they are still getting better grades than me….they get to make up their assignments. I know that most people’s advice would be to drop this class but I need to keep it too stay on financial aid and it is a requirement for my major. I’m sincerely confused and pissed off about what to do, and sometimes I just want to punch her in the face. Trying to explain anything or ask her for extra help is like talking to a wall. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Es geht nicht nur ums Geld, Sie arrogante Arschlöcher
There is a good chance that the NFL will have a lock out in the 2011 season. This pretty much pisses me off. The only chance that there will be a season is if every player in the league takes a $340,000 a year pay cut. This is the least that players can do in my opinion. For once, maybe the players should think about the fans instead of their personal pleasures. I mean let’s look at it this way; most players make more money during their football careers than they will ever be able to spend in their lives. God forbid that you can’t own ten cars, or a seven million dollar mansion. What the hell, man? Think about it this way; if you didn’t have your fans then there would be no reason what-so-ever to even play football. You aren’t going to make any money if nobody is watching your games. Players need to take this cut for one year to keep a lifetime of fans. They should consider it that way. Either take a one year cut or lose your fans and take a permanent cut. Fans are what help pay your salary.
Another thing that I think is really shitty about the NFL right now is that there is no salary cap for the 2010 season. Think about it, who is going to be unstoppable next year?? I’m thinking probably the Jets or Giants. With them being New York teams they’re going to have a ton of money to waste and make their team so overpowering that it will be a waste to even watch football. Let’s fix this shit and see what happens.

Elephant blow up dolls sind schwer zu unter Ihrem Bett passen. Jeder muss mit Schaf-Stick.
It seems as if my writing is starting to improve significantly, week by week. I am very excited to be getting into these major papers finally. Arguing is one of biggest specialties, and I think that I should do excellent in this portion of the class. With the research class that I took, I didn't have any problem at all with my annotated bibliography. I'm realizing that most of my classes are somehow tying into me as a writer. With all the note taking and free-writing that I have done in the past week, I'm starting to get a lot better at what I do. Although I hate to admit it, the Rottenberg note taking has really helped me out with writing. It helps me take notes better and quicker, since I now know what to look for. It was actually pretty disappointing that I only got a 24 out of 25 on my last set of notes, since I had received 25 out of 25 on all of them before that one. It just made me realize that I need to pay a little more attention and do a little more research in my writing. I am pretty happy with how my writing is coming a long, and very excited about the topics that I chose for my argumentative papers. Naturally, I'm going to have to go for the A, so I have a lot of work ahead of me. Writing doesn't feel like a burden to me anymore this semester. i kind of look at as a reward and a break for the monotony of test taking and other stupid assignments.

Sinking my balls in the pocket
APA leagues have given me quite a bit of confidence lately. However, I've been pretty disappointed in my teams performance the past two weeks. I just wish I could figure out a way too have my confidence and cockiness on the pool tables, rub off on the rest of the team. The first two sessions that I captained this team, we got first place. We were in first two weeks ago and have dropped near the bottom since. I just don't understand how five of the best players in the league can drop from first place so drastically, in so little time. I am still undefeated this session, where as everyone else on my team has a losing record. I'm the only one on the whole team that has won in two weeks. I have to accredit this to my extreme cockiness and confidence when I'm playing; and the fact that I play pool like a god when I'm drunk. LOL.
People look at cockiness as a bad thing, but I don't really see it that way. I like to compare cockiness and confidence too geniuses. What I mean by this is that a genius is going to have to work way less than a normal person to succeed in a educational setting; where as a cocky/confident person has to work less than a timid/fearful person in everyday life. I kind of just went out on a limb with this blog because of my frustration with the way that leagues have been going lately. Screw wanting to be like Mike. I wanna be like me. For everyone on my team that reads this; (which I know some of you will) come out of your shells and let's represent like we have in the past.

Your mother still loves my writing
I have noticed quite a bit of improvement in my writing outside of school, more than anything. My lyrics have been flowing like crazy lately. It's been easier to think of related words, and too write longer songs. It's been really great. I haven't had to put as much effort into the lyric writing, and the songs have gotten a lot better. I've actually written more lyrics in the last two semesters than I have since I started writing. I guess I owe this to Steph and English.
Another thing that I have noticed is that I don't really have much trouble with writing about anything that is thrown at me. My sentence variety is getting better, except in my blogs. Lol. I'm starting too like the blogs a lot more though because I can just be free, and do whatever I want. I find that if I have freedom in blogs, that it makes me write a lot better and faster in my real writing assignments.
One really cool thing is that even when I'm writing a successful paper for class, the other part of my brain is writing music lyrics at the same time. I didn't realize that I could do that until just realize, but I definitely like it. I'm also starting to get a little bit better at the grammatical aspect of things and sentence structure. I don't hate them anymore, and actually care about it. LOL. Anyways, I'm gonna stop writing and go home. Nap time.

*******Lot of cussing so if you dont like it dont read it *****
So i decided to throw my opinions out about a lot of the people in this English 111 class. I'm sure that I'm going to piss a lot of people off but I really don't give a shit to be honest. It just has to be said, cuz it's been pissing me off since day one. People need to stop bitching about every little assignment that we get assigned. Why can't everyone realize that it's time to put out or get out. What I mean is this is college not middle school. Put a little effort into the work, and dont wait till the last minute and the class isnt gonna be that hard. Or fucking drop the class. I know not everyone agrees with all the assignments, including myself; but Stephanie is a kick ass teacher and knows what she is doing. I think everybody needs to just give her a break and do what we gotta do. Her class isn't hard if you put forth a little effort. I was in 110 and got an A without having to bust my ass. That class was much harder than 111 in my opinion.
I have to say that I was pretty pissed off today when everyone was complaining and got the quiz canceled, and now we have to do the stupid summary bullshit. It's all cool except some of us spent a ton of time that we didnt have reading the chapter and taking tons of notes for the quiz. Now I and a couple others have to do a summary on shit that we took four pages of notes on already. FUCK!!!

Über mich wie schreibend, gab ein Schriftsteller mir Krebs
Hmmm...me as a writer. I think that I have improved quite immensely from English 110. I'm getting a lot better with sentence structure and variety, although I probably won't show that here. Lol. Writing is becoming more fun and a lot less of a hassle. One problem that I was having that is starting to go away is; writing about things that I dont want to write about. After getting an A in English 110, I realized that I like English more than I thought. I'm starting to catch more grammatical errors and write longer, more interesting papers. I find myself writing more music than I ever have before, also.
In English 111 I'm hoping to get even better with my punctatuion problems. I've gotten alot better since starting college but I still pretty much suck at it. I'm finally starting to realize that I dont always need to have music, television, or a friend to talk to when I'm writing. It helps sometimes but it is no longer a neccessity. I dont really have a set place that I need to be to write successfully anymore. I can pretty much just sit down and write whenever I feel like it.
Though unexpected and at first unwanted, writing is becoming a huge part of my life. It's not only in English where I'm finding that I need to write a lot of papers and notes. For instance, I have a big project that I have to write in my American Military History class. I think that the more writing that I do, the easier it gets, and the more successful I become. I'm just looking forward to getting better at writing now.
