RHPC

Me and my roommate went and saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the Backdoor playhouse. We had a blast. It was the first time i had ever seen it. It was definately weird. Especially when the transvestite appeared. I didnt know it was a musical. I dont usually like musicals but this was an exception. I want to see it again. Unfortunatley I didnt get to see the live performance. I heard it was awesome. I was surprised this came out in the 70'S I believe? Im not sure, because of what it was about and involved. I thought they were against things they showed then. But it was a very funny movie. My favorite part was when the Transvestite came out because it was so funny.

Concert at the UC

Dec. 3rd I went to the UC and watched a concert. Well it was actually a concert put on by an orchestra. It was pretty interesting. They played a number of pieces but I forgot the names of them because i didnt get a program im not sure they even had programs or not. I may have known one or two of the songs but i couldnt think of the names of them to save my life. If there are anymore concerts like this i would probably go again and try and find a flippin program next time. It was definately interesting.

Eclectic Spiderweb

On Dec. 4th at 2 my english 101o and univ. class put on a culture conference in Jere Whitson at TTU. Starting at 2 we listened to a few speakers. After they were done we had a break and on the break the catering committee set up the tables and chairs downstairs. Meanwhile while we were setting that up upstairs the speaking continued. When we were done setting the tables and chairs we went to the TTU radio station and got some chalk, we chalked infront of the UC and Jere Whitson. We then went back inside and waited for the food to show up. It was a little late but not to late. We had noodles, chicken, alfrado sauce, and marinarra sauce, lasagna both meat and vegan, and breadsticks. For dessert there was brownies, cookies and i had cherry cobbler but it was to big for me to eat so I shared it. I unfortunately had to leave. It was fun for the amount of time I stayed.

Hunting on Sunday Nov. 8

On Sunday Nov 8 2009 my dad and me went hunting on Norris Lake. Norris Lake is located in Campbell, Anderson, Union, and Claiborne County. We went out on the lake to hunt, but we brought our fishing rods also. We fished all day agin the bank while looking for deer up in the woods. You may be thinking that hunting in a boat is illegal. It in fact is perfectly legal, you just have to go by a few simple rules. 1. The main motor has to be turned off, but you can have the trolling motor on. 2. Don't aim at any boats and know what it is you are shooting. We were having lunch when this huge shadow covered the boat. I looked up and an American Bald Eagle was soaring about 200-300 yards above us. Then it took a nose dive but before it hit the water it lifted up and flew parallel with the water. It extended it s legs and opened its talons and grabbed a big shade out of the water and flew off. It was amazing. Then after lunch we proceeded with our quest on killing a deer. We enters Claiborne, then Union counties and seen nothing. It was about 3 o'clock and turned around to head back to the free launch we had put in at. We entered Claiborne County again and I looked to the right and on the bank were 4 or 5 deer. Dad shut the main motor off and we were still moving at about 30 mph, I grabbed my muzzle loader and aimed at the biggest doe on the bank. We had slowed to about 25 mph and I shot. The doe stood there for a second then started to run but couldn't run because i had broke both of her shoulders. We then drove onto the bank and I drug the deer to the waters edge where we field dressed it/ or gutted it. Then we loaded up into the boat and left, loaded the boat onto the trailer and took the deer to a check in station. Then we took it to the slaughter house.

Pgs. 120-126, 646-649, 655-658

Pgs. 120-126 were about "Dawsons Creek", a tv show on WB that portrays teenagers lives in the most similar way they can. The show portrays sex, homosexuality, teen drama, etc. Parents of some teens dont like their child to watch this show because they dont want to believe that this stuff is happening. They want their kid in the dark. "Dawson's Creek" also has scenarios where teens are in so deep the cant see straight but there is always one teen that shines through to help the other. After this review it goes on to give key features lik concise description of subject, clearly defined criteria, have knowledge of the subject that you are reviewing, have a balanced and fair assessment, and a well-supported reason.

Pgs. 646-649 FlatBread Company a pizza place that has delicious pizza, appetizers, and deserts. They do however have a problem, they dont have enough on the menu. They make up for it by, the craft that goes or hard work that goes into making the pizza, appetizers, and deserts. Has a good atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal in, has excellent service, and has an overall rating of 4 stars- very good. It's also recommended to buy a large flat bread pizza even though it says 1 flatbread is enough for 2.

Pgs. 655-658 Harry Potter, the series by J.K. Rowling draws things out to long in the series. For example, when Harry's parents die, you get brief info on that in the first book, and then in the third book you get more info. In the first 2 movies where not as moody, or haroque in visual palette, but were monotonic. When the new director started in the third movie you noticed a significant difference, it was better, more action, mystery that you found out in that movie, and better acting. Though it still plays out the Ron and Hermione deal.

Tail of two intake forms on discussion in class

On Tues. October 27th my English 1010 had a class discussion on the HHPC and Care Center Visitor Application sheets. We discussed how religion plays a role in these two organizations. The HHPC does not ask any religious questions on its intake form. This is mostly due to the fact of the separation church and gov't. This prevents the church from taking over the gov't or the gov't taking over the church. However since the CCV is a church affiliated group they can ask religious quesions like where you in church Sunday and if not, why not? and if yes, which one? This is so they can invite you to church which isnt bad because everyone should go to church cause i find it releives stress being around others who come together to worship God. In our class discussion some people thought this was a bad idea because Christians have a reputation of being hypocrites. This is somewhat true for some, because some so called christians preach against something then go out and do the thing they were preaching against. This is why most people dont like to go to churches for help because they push their religion on that person. It wouldnt be so bad if there werent so many hypocrites.

pgs. 554-566

The first report "Meet Joe Blog" starts out about three average people, Mathew Gross, Rob Malda, Denis Dutton, who edited blogs on amateur websites. Then it talkes about what blogs are and their purpose and their history. I found it interesting because I didnt know much about blogs and didnt blog until this year because it is required for my English 1010 class at Tennessee Tech Univ. Blogs can be about anything and you cant get in trouble for it to my understanding because the first amendment, Freedom of Speech, examples Storm Thurmond, and l'affaire Lewinsky. Then blogs got ads put on them by some companies but it doesnt corrupt them. Blogs are eventually gonna be the way America Communicates. It might as well be now, and the way political candidates campaign.
The second report "Homeless on Campus" was about a girl that became homeless because her childs father became physically abusive. She moved out and lived in the EAU and got transfered from it to a hotel back to the EAU then to family shelter in Queens. This made it difficult for her because she had to ride the train to her friends house drop her kid off, ride it back to school in Brooklyn. She missed school and got it excussed by her teachers. Their were 2 other people the story mentions that are part of the 44 homeless students that were awarded the LeTendre grants since 1999. Then the report goes on and tells about the hardships they face and how they dont have access to showers, which makes their grades suffer, and their lives as a whole suffer. Some people see this happening and pretend to not notice that it is happening and others notice it and try to help them. We need more of the kind of people that want to help. It would make the world a better place.
