The Arthur Show, and Why other Children's shows suck.

Well, this is my second last day of school. I wrote a blog already, and i was whyning till earths end but then i looked at Arthur on google, and really couldn't be mad anymore.

Arthur is definately a great kids show, and according to "Wikipedia" it has a large "Cult following among older viewers". Well ringadingding. My favourite character has got to be Arthur, i also like how unlike other embaressing kid shows that Disney channel has brought about, the characters on Arthur don't try to be cool, or try to do the right thing. Like i remember when i used to watch Zoey 101 and EVERY episode "Zoey" would ALWAYS do the right thing, and she'd always be nice to the "bully". Not realistic Family channel, not realistic.

Well i'm sorry for this embaressing rant, but I couldn't really think of another thing to write about, Arthur kind of relates to school, at least in the sense of when i'm done school i'll be watching it on netflix. Well i hope everyone has a lovely summer/life and i hope i don't fail art. Thanks.

Well, i saw the picture of Osama where his face is all mashed up. I must say, i think it's quite sad that the world has come to being THAT happy about someones death. I'm sorry everyone but just because Osama is dead DOESN'T MEAN there won't be more terrorist attacks, Osama wasn't the only one! Not that i like him or anything, i just think he got all the flack for what any terrorist ever did after 9/11. I don't feel bad for him, or condone what he's done at all and I'm sure it's a big relief for those who lost people in the World Trade Center, and i'm glad for them, and that they can have some closure.

I'm glad they're re-building the trade center, and now they can do it and feel a bit more secure that Osama is dead, however i think it may be a bit of false secuirty because another terrorist would be just as much a threat as Osama, but then again maybe not, considering the rumored "connections" he had.

I thought the whole Charlie Sheen situation was weird news, however, i won't be writting about him i just couldn't find any pictures that coincides with what I'm actually writting about.

I found This on http://bizarretoday.wordpress.com/2010/04/19/weird-news-headlines-of-the-week/

" Denis Danny Roberge, a 19-year-old young man will spend the next 60 days in jail after stealing a beer from a convenience store in Quebec. He stole the $3.37 beer to celebrate having just gotten out of jail. "

I thought it was pretty ironic, and it's in Canada, and everyone seems to love things more if it has to do with Canada. Also, is this even true? Like i'm pretty sure you don't go to jail for 60 days for stealing something under $4.00 . Oh well, maybe you do in Quebec. Or maybe this sites just trying to be "funny" by making up news. Either way this is what i chose.

Well, all i can say is THANK GOD the years almost over, school is getting to be unbearable. No offence. It's like when your reading a book, then you get to having like 2 or 3 chapters left, and you just can't wait to finish it and move onto another one, maybe thats just me. But i don't understand the point of highschool, i really wish it weren't a requirement, considering the majority of time i spend staring at the wall, because i'm either done my work, or i can't stand to look at another piece of paper with this horrid information that i will sure as hell not "hold dear" , i swear i learned more from frikin Arthur, than this DISGUSTING place. I don't know what i'm doing next year. I hate school, so i won't be going to college next year. I think i should go at some point, but if i decide to be a flight attendant i don't need college, contrary to what everyone seems to tell me, even though my uncles a captain and he knows more than anyone who tells me differently. However i don't know if i want to do that for sure, so i'm taking a year to do other things untill i decide. Mostly because i don't want to go to college for something and then realize i don't like it, or that i wish i did something else. I suppose i better decide soon because I want to live in L.A. BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY DAMN WARM!!! I hate winter, it makes me depressed. Even when it's hot out for like one day, my mood improves by like 80% . Also the brown-ness of this area is quite ceaseless and bothersome.

Trip To NY

I discovered on this trip how shitty my photography is. Hopefully you can at least try to get the full effect of how great New York really is, and not judge it by my picture taking "skills". The trip was an 8 hour drive. It was pretty strenious, mostly because i can't sleep in a moving vehicle. I think i have maybe twice in my whole life, not counting when i was a baby. The trip to New York was pretty fun, i liked being in New York better than driving there. We stopped a few times, once i got the nastiest meal ever, and other times we stopped at Dennys, and i tryed grits for the first time ever. They're pretty disturbing. I noticed in America the portions were quite large, and i'm pretty sure i gained like 10 pounds while there, maybe because i was trying all these different foods that we don't have here, or maybe their food is more fattening. Who knows. Enjoy my shitty photography.

Trip gone wrong

when i went to cuba in grade six, something went wrong.

I almost fainted. I don't know why, maybe dehhydration, too much sun exposure, who knows. I was waiting in line for my omlette, which by the way the Cuban omlettes are the best i've had, same with their pasta. I started to feel light headed and got a really intense head rush, so i couldn't really see anything other than a floating black blob (headrush) blocking everything out.
Did i go find a chair, or someone to lean on, no. I waited for my omlette. I recieved it, then kept walking to the outdoor table my mom had already saved, i then walked into a glass door because i couldn't see, luckily it wasn't the first day there so i sort of knew my way around. When i crashed into the door, some man or woman ( i couldn't see) said "woaah ha-ha , watch your step there" , i fake laughed and said yah or something to that effect and went through the open door. I found my mom and we went back to the room and i ate my omlette and went to sleep. Good times.

TODAYS BLOG

I'd have to say if i could pick any era to live in, it would have to be late seventies early eighties, like in Dazed And Confuzed. I think that looks like a fun time, and i love the movie. I think it looks like a simpler time for sure, and everyone seems a bit more chill than nowadays. Though i bet in a couple decades they could find a way to make this era look good, when in reality it revolves around internet/phone connections with people rather than talking to people, like they did before the internet and such. Hence i'm in english class right now writting a blog.

Spring Fever

well i'm really glad winter is ending, i don't really like anything about it, not even chistmas. I find christmas to be overrated, and usually the anticipation of it is better than the actual thing. I really like Spring and Summer, because i like being outside, not even to do sports or anything, just to sit out there at any chance i get. Also I can't wait to sleep in in the summer, as late as i want, that is untill i get a summer job. Anyways Yes i like spring and other than snowboarders i'm not sure who likes winter...

School "Politics"

I find that Co-prez elections are a "popularity" contest. I don't think anyone really cares what being co-prez entails after you win, i think they just wanna see if they could win. I'm not voting today, first off because of what I just said, but mostly because i won't even be here next year, so what does it matter who i want to do a job that i find isn't even helpful. I actually don't know what "co-prezs" even do. I'm sure they can't do anything useful like change the rules, it's pretty much like false advertising calling them "co-prez" considering they don't do anything substantial, in my opinion, but then again i don't know. All i know is that they talk at assemblys, except i don't think they did this year, maybe once. I don't know, maybe they are usefull.

Napolean Dynamite

Anyway, for todays post i'll write about unlikely lovers. I can't really think of a unlikely of funny couple. Mainly because the most unlikely ones happen, therefor they aren't unlikely at all. I think many people would have to agree with that. So basically i just made a human/meat collage. Sorry.

I'd first off just like to congratulate Lauren on her blog being featured, if you haven't already, i really recomend checking it out. It's full of happy posts, and fun tidbits of useless information. You'll all really enjoy it, im sure.

Anyways, todays post..
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain: Text of the Poem
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading–treading–till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through–And when they all were seated,A Service, like a Drum–
Kept beating–beating–till I thoughtMy Mind was going numb–
And then I heard them lift a BoxAnd creak across my SoulWith those same Boots of Lead, again,Then Space
began to toll,As all the Heavens were a Bell,And Being, but an Ear,And I, and Silence, some strange RaceWrecked, solitary, here–And then a Plank in Reason, broke,And I dropped down, and down–And hit a World, at every plunge,And Finished knowing–then–

I suppose i like this poem because it's title drew me in because, i don't know im usually drawn to death-esque things, i don't know why.i can't exactly write a whole paragraph on it. I'm not really a big fan of poems, i find that people usually try way to hard, to sound deep and intellectual and end up looking over dramatic and bit like a joke.

Appreciation day:

I think we should all have a day to appreciate no school. Actually a week. Yes, we already have March break, but that isn't enough. I think there should be a random week off from school with no name like "March Break" or "Christmas Holidays".
Just a week with no school, with no cheesy name, and everyone can have a break for no apparent reason. Oh well, since i won't be returning next year, I don't really care whether this were to happen or not, as if it ever would. Oh well.
I don;t really know if this post is supposed to be about an animal or something, but i suppose we could call the week by some animal name, such as bird week, or something like that.

Grafitti

I like grafitti, i think it looks good and gives buildings character, and i find the artists are very under rated, they can do such cool things on buildings, yet authority probably thinks of them as "menaces" or whatever. I don't think people should go to jail for it, i don't really know if they do, but i wouldn't doubt it. I think they deserve more respect, and that's all for today.

P.S. I found that picture on a link you gave us and thought it was cool.

What i think of Writers Craft;;

-what assignments/activities do you find interesting, worthwhile, helpful??
I find the free writting thing pretty good, i approve that no one has to read it, because then i can talk about whatever i please. Which makes the exercise have more of a point. I think the interviewing thing is interesting, i like reading interviews.

-what assignments/activities bore you, drive you nuts, stress you out beyond belief?
I didn't really like the children story thing, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really the funnest thing i've ever done. I don't really like having to censor stuff for children, and follow a guideline for children, because i think they could probably handle a more mature story book every now and then, but oh well.

-how is the blogging working for you: do we do too much of it? too little? do you like the "techno" aspect of class?
I sort of like blogging, it's pretty fun at times, though i don't like knowing that people can be reading it at any time, because i don't really make the best posts, hence my 2011 one that got comments, i wasn't expecting anyone to read that, but i suppose they obviously would considering you made it the featured blog. lol

-what unit are you looking forward to the most? (If you don't recall the course outline, we'll still be looking at travel writing, play writing, poetry/song lyrics, short stories, and a few other things)
I suppose looking at the writting of song lyrics will be pretty fun, and short stories also because there always fun to write.

-anything else about the course content, delivery, grading, lack of free gifts, that you want to share.
I like the course content for the most part, though i always fear that i'll be picked to read something aloud, for the benefit of the whole class, you and me, i recomend not picking me, my voice will be monotone, and everyone will get annoyed.

-HOW IS YOUR INITIATIVE when it comes to the class? Where do you feel you could improve?
I don't really have much innititive in any class these days, sort of like when your reading a book, in the middle you don't want it to end, then when you get to the end of the book and you have a few chapters left, you just want to finish it and figure out what happens and be done with it so you can start a new one. That's how i feel about highschool, coming so close to the end, but yet so far, can get annoying at times, but oh well. I'll try to improve my initiative in this class, however it's probably one of my best classes, initiative wise.
-what can I, your humble teacher, do to make the class one that will bring a fond smile to your lips when you are sipping on cocoa in your ripe old age?
Not make me read in front of the class :)

2011

Well i suppose it's now 2011, welcome to another half year of lovely school. I'm really not looking forward to the rest of the year, school is really getting old, and i don't enjoy being confined to small rooms all day. Well at least i found my backpack, it was in the lost and found, and it probably has bed bugs now. I'm not in the mood to write so forgive my lack of exitement.
