What happens if the chicken crosses the road?


Blog posts have been harder to write at the semester has went on, more than just hard to write its extremely hard to remember!  However somehow I found myself looking at the dumb facts of other states, In Quitman, Georgia, it is illegal for chicken to cross the road. Every man in Brainerd, Minnesota is required by law to grow a beard and it's illegal to sleep naked. The most entertaining part is that there are people who have to follow these laws.  What would happen if a chicken did cross the road? Does it get a ticket? Or go to jail?

Change is the only Constant



Alvin and the chipmunks used to be called, Alvin, Simon and Theodore. The Three Chipmunks. Comparing the old comic characters to the updated one in the movies there are a lot of differences. Their outfits have all changed; Theodore gained some weight. While Simon apparently had a hard time seeing and needed glasses. The only thing that’s still the same is the A on Alvin’s shirt was carried over into his new character. Personally in the comic its hard to tell the difference between Theodore and Simon by looking at the characters. Now that they’ve changed the features its easier to distinguish.

He doesn't have much of a reputation or so I've heard.


Warm seventy-degree weather only makes me think of one thing, the Detroit Tigers baseball team. I can’t wait until this summer comes so I can attend the Tiger games with friends. For me I’ve never been one big on sports however I adore the Tigers baseball team. My favorite player is Rick Porcello, granted I always get a lot of crap for liking him as a pitcher compared to liking Justin Verlander. Plus who wouldnt root for a guy that looks like Porcello does! There’s something about a warm summer day rooting in the stands of the Tigers.  I hope we go just as far as we did last season. Detroit teams are stepping their game up!

House


Ethos is the credibility. The credibility in house would be the actors such as Dr House. The logos is the logic to the show, is when they actually deal with the patients and diagnose them. Pathos is the emotion appeal, so in the show house it would be the fact it has a sense of mystery or suspense to it when they misdiagnose a patient that’s close to death. It also has a funny sense of humor, Dr. House is extremely sarcastic. I believe with all three of  these components is what really makes it a great show.

Go Broncos!


Being home for spring break wasn’t my idea of a spring break, when most of my college friends were flying to Florida or taking road trips. Granted I would have loved to go somewhere warmer for spring break. After getting back from North Carolina for a week I was glad to be at my own house. I defiantly didn’t get enough homework done that I needed to.  But that’s okay, I seen a few of my best friends and spent some well needed time with my family. I leave tomorrow, however I am excited to get back to Kalamazoo because they have two important hockey games this weekend. So hopefully they win tonight. And then I’ll get to see them kick butt tomorrow too! :D

We take fun seriously


During my national conference in North Carolina I had a blast, I got to meet a lot of people like; Matt Roloff from “Little People Big World”, Raven Symoné from “That’s so Raven”, we also had Bowling for Soup to perform for us. However my favorite was having Andy Grammer preform for us. He sings the song “Gotta Keep Your Head Up” Overall my whole trip to North Carolina was amazing. It was so beautiful there while everyone else had snow in Michigan, it was entertaining to come back to sun at Kalamazoo! Now its spring break and I get to do all of my homework that I’ve missed over the days I was at the conference. I have to say that it was defiantly worth it!

Two Worlds Collide



Outline:
·      Two characters,
o   Erickson Martin: He is in his late 20’s he’s was on this flight because there had been a small opening and he took the last ticket. It had only been chance that he got that ticket. He was on his way home to see his mother. He had been gone for about three years out of state and way coming home to visit.  He was tall, slender with freckles and wore glasses yet preferred contacts. He had brown hair and it was always messy as if he had gotten outta the shower and never brushed it.
o   Muhammad Atta’s: Scruffy looking face, tanned Muslim skin color.

·      The story will begin with both of them, preparing for the fight that morning/ Or why they were flying that morning.
·      They will bump into each other a few times throughout the story.
o   Airport baggage, going to take their seats, bathroom, and terrorist part
·      It will come down to the last few minutes of chaos on the plane.
·      Crash.
