Fishing. I started fishing when I was 4. My first fish was a 10 pound bass. It scared the crap out of me. We took it home in a cooler and I took a picture with me holding it and it shook and fell out of my hands and hit the porch and I think it died cause it pissed and pooped on the porch!. We got it mounted and it is hangin where my tv used to. I usually fish for food no days. My favorite kind of fish to eat that is from fresh water would have to be cajun style catfish. The biggest catfish I have ever caught was a 30 pound blue cat. It looked like a big blue turd with whiskers! The lake I normally fish in is Norris Lake. It runs in Campbell, Anderson, and Union Counties. I would like to go deep sea fishing. My cousin went one time and caught an octopus! She brought it home and we ate it. It didnt taste to good! It was more like a rubbery feeling and tasted weird. She kept its beak though. I have went musky fishing and it was really hard! I did the figure 8 with my bait at the boat and this musky came out of nowhere and ate it I bought shat my pants cause all I seen was a mouth full of teeth. It was onlt 34 inches long. Surprisingly we didnt get that mounted. One time dad and me went fishing and we went back in a cove and there was a rattlesnake got in the boat and I didnt know it and it bit me on the calf and we had to leave early! That day of fishing offically sucked! Luckly we got to the hospital in time and they gave me antivenom. Dad killed the snake before we left though by chopping its head off, we kept the snake.

Since the beginning of time the death penalty has been sed as a punishment for those who commit heinous crimes towards others in humanity. It has only been since colonial times that records were kept of this. Is the death penalty to cruel? This is something that the news media asks every time that it is enforced. it also creates a ver heated topic for political debates all around the country and the world. The death penalty has been used as a punishment all throughout history but it wasnt until colonial times that records of it were kept. Since tis time there have been 13,000 legal executions in the United States. In the early 19th century, the number of executions per year grew to as many as 150 in 1930, before dropping to nearly zero in 1967 because of insufficient funds. The death penalty was completely abolished from the American Constitution in 1972, and stayed this way until it was reinstated in 1976. Once it was reinstated, the constitution gave states the choice of using the death penalty for punishment. Today there are twelxe states that do not recognize or utilize the the death penalty as a form of punshment. These states include: Alaska, District of Columbia,Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. There are also seven more jurisdictions that have that the death penalty, but have not performed one since it was reinstated in 1976.

Re: Personality Test

I took a personality test as you probly already know by the previous blog. I wrote my blog wrong because I wrote about my results not about what I actually thought about it. I was not surprised by my results on the personality test. I am a talkative person, and I am not sure what the other three results are talking about. When I took the political compass test I was a little shocked by the results. I expected it to tell me I was a hardcore republican, but instead it told me that I am a conservative, seeing that I was raised in a Baptist community. Well I am gonna go play tennis.

Personality Tests

I took the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test. Upon completing it I found out that I am moderately expressed extraverted (33), moderately expressed sensing personlity (38), moderately expressed thinking personality (50), and moderately expressed judging personality (44). It gave me a list of careers that would be suitabe for my personality one of which is one I am currently pursuing, engineering. The rest of my suitable jobs were, management, management in business or education, stoke broker, accountings, constructions specialist, truck and bus driver, military training, police/security services, and law. The test also listed a group of people who have a similar personality, they are Bruce Willis, George W. Bush, Vespasian, Colin Powell, Martha Gellhorn (war correspondent) and Lyndon B. Johnson. If you can not tell I am a republican. I also took a political compass test. This test told me I have an economic of 0.50 right and a social Libertarian/Authoritarian of 3.28. I am not sure how to read this so I do not fully understand it.
Spiritual Inventory
I do have a spiritual belief it is Christianity, Baptist.
Belief itself is not a problem.
Tolerance of differing beliefs is not a problem regarding this topic.
I do believe in a higher being, God.
He is the creator of life and everything we see and dont see that is around us.
The physical world is what we see around us, and the spiritual world is either heaven or hell. Depending on whether or not we get saved and baptized according to my belief.
My attitude towards people with beliefs differing from mine is its a belief and everyone has their own.
My spiritual beliefs generally have stayed the same over time. Its lack of change means that it is satisfying to its believers.

Writing History Through the Years

Hello, my name is Jordan Cross. I may not have the extensice writing history as some of the others, but this does not diminish my writing abilities. The first time I remember having my writing abilities challenged was during my eighth grade year. We were required to write a paper everyday for three weeks. I scored a five out of six on my paper. We had to write three papers a semester to satisfy our school board.

Onto high school, in high school we had to write tow papers a semester and the topics had to do with the particular subject we were in. My junior year I had accelerated English. In accelerated English we wrote three papers one of which was a final exam. i scored a ninty six out of one hundred. Also in y junior year we had aother writing assessment. I scored a four out of six on this particular paper. My senior year I only had to write one paper for senior English. I scored ninty nine on the final paper. During my freshman and sophmore year English classes we had to keep a journal. The teachers required that we right two-three paragraphs on what did over the weekends, things we did over the weekends, things we liked to do, or something over the previous days class discussion.

During high school i took three engineering classes. I had to write two papers a semester on technology, both old and new, engineering marvels, and what type of careers in the engineering field we were interested in.

In future blogs I hope to blog about things I like to do, and things that happen to me while I am at Tennessee Tech Univ. continuing my education to hopefully become an engineering.
