Blogging that Bloggie Blog.

I think that blogging was chill. I guess this was just an exercise just to know each other in class a little better. Honestly, I didn't really mind blogging because it was alright and a little fun to go on and read other people's thoughts.I think that I'm going to continue blogging stuff once in a while, its never bad to publish your opinions. So I'll consider to continue the blogging but probably wont do it as much as we did in English class. There's been many cool blogs here that I myself enjoyed and well i just hope that those other classmates keep on blogging about their future and other personal thoughts. I myself hope the best for the rest of my classmates!

Just a Review!

So recently Ive been listening to one of my favorite ska band which is Streetlight Manifesto. Looking through some of my albums I have totally forgotten to upload the Keasby Nights album. Matter fact I have totally forgotten that I purchased that album and never really got the chance to listen to it. Now Ive realized that I missed out on a good set of tracks which in my opinion has to be one of their best albums because the basic concepts of ska are really applied to this album.Everything from the rebellious vocals to the thrashing fast guitars! Also the thing that makes the sub-genre stand out are the toned bass and the trumpet that are in compilation with the beat fasting drums. Indeed this album has shocked me because it has the perfect meaning for ska. Though many bands totally evoke the punk melody in their music, Streetlight Manifesto has to be one of the bands that always apply the punk beats to their music and in this album truly proved that its the best thing they do. So in the following I'm including one of their best tracks in the album which totally hooked me and proved that this has to be some of their best work.

that cool book!

The reality is that Fast Food nation was a really cool book! I honestly didn't have that much of an idea that these fast food franchises hided all those secrets from the public. I mean seriously if people would be offered to read this I could be sure that people might get a different view in this fast food phenomenon. I mean, its bad  to consume this food, but when you start consuming it constantly that's when the problem grows. Obesity seems to be growing not just only in the infant population but also in the elders. People seriously just need to limit the eating habits and just begin to consume more slow food. In my experience, honestly I just haven't changed much because I hardly ever consume fast food, I eat like once every 3 or so weeks and that about it. But for the other part I will try to limit the amount of food I'm consuming on home,because eating a lot of meat is not really that good for my health. And second I really want to change my eating habits and be more healthy to promote for myself a longer living. I know I can do it, and with just a little motivation I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish it!

ohh yeah this semester...

Okay guys so the truth is that I own a Mercedes Benz. They are expensive and I managed to save enough money to purchase that car, I call my car buggy because it’s small and runs very fast. So now to my present college experience, I have to say that this semester has to be the one I have been most occupied and focused more into school. It’s been very he4ctic and loaded with a lot of school work and homework for almost every class that I’m taking this semester. Just English and Anthropology are the two main classes that keep me up to my toes and to be cautious with assignments and due dates! Further more other classes like ASL have me occupied and forced to learn sign language which can truly be frustrating if you forget how to sign a word or how to add more expression and gestures to make your signing more formable and understanding.  Also, a class like weight traing keeps me up a lot! It of course unstressed me which is good but it also makes me very tired because sometimes I workout when I have to go to work and that totally crashes me because I burn most of my energy working out and running on that class. Other than that my work contributes to less time to doing my homework, and it affects me negatively because that’s the main problem that it ruins my studying time, which reflects badly on some papers and homework. Even though I got a very complicated semester I still try my best to achieve high grades! It’s a drag, but I don’t give up easily.  I prefer to die trying rather than to wimp out and quit.

lies or truth?

1. I have been abducted by aliens

2. I own a Mercedes Benz

3. I'm a time traveler

4. Edgar Allan Poe is my neighbor

5. I'm a Boss

6. I rob banks for fun

Poetry?

I rarely share my poetry, its more of a personal thing but I guess its good to share once in a while so enjoy, rate, comment, do what you wish. :P

Mesmerize me with your eyes,

Bliss me with a kiss,

Surrendered by your remise,

For you see this is no amiss,

Enchanted by your words,

In love with your heart,

Your love is hazard,

but to me its my rampart,

I wish you were mine,

Our friendship is my joy,

My love you're divine,

The torture is my coy,

Abundant by love,

But filled with fear,

From loosing my love,

Is what I fear...

My opinion changed.

Throughout the time I really hated writing poetry or just be creative with my words. But later on through time I started to experiment with words.  I started to compose small paragraphs  and started to free style with just random words that just popped out of my head; I started to write my feelings and then re-analyzing my words and arranging them in a more former and rhythmical manner. From this I started to form verses, then I sort of grew a trait for being a perfectionist and for that wanting the words to just being meaningful. If I didn’t like my writing I would spend hours and a big amount of time to just make the poem sound sharper and to just focus on that mood of my writing. This experience of just writing poetry definitely opened many doors to me because I not only found a way to express my personal feelings but it also gave me a vast amount of new words that became part of my daily life language. I believe the art of poetry just makes you more brighter and intellectual persona. Everyone should try to approach it by just starting small and expressing your feelings, soon you would realize that you would create a piece of art through writing.

More about my family...

My Family.

My family consist of six members; my pops, my mom, two sisters, and one young brother. My whole family to this point has be united ever since, we are a very united family and have been taught to stick with each other at all situations even at the most hardest times. My parents are some of the strictest and hard working people I know. They have served as big role models for my siblings and me. Furthermore, they have taught us that the only best things in life are those that you acquire from hard work and sacrifice. Also, that you must make sacrifices to strive for that desired success that you wish to achieve, it is not an easy task; very much more full of pain but it turns out that you get rewarded at the end. Truly my parents showed all my siblings a great lecture in how to deal with life and success. My siblings have been some of the most troublesome but most loyal friends that I had. They had stick with me for the longest time and mostly all of them had always helped me in some of the situations that I couldn’t control by myself. Furthermore, my siblings had always helped me out in some of my most embarrassing and shocking situations that had been encountered on my way. As much as I had that support from my siblings, I also gave them the same support that I have been receiving from them. Furthermore, I admit that I supported my family to the utmost that I can stand, I can say that I’ve been a good role model for my parents as a mature and developing young man to my siblings. Lastly, my family is what I care for and I wish to help them out as much as I can because in reality I’m in debt with all of them and I care for them as much as they do with me.

That awesome interview with Megan!

Interview with Megan Williams

Megan Williams is a hard working student that attends as a full time student in Oxnard College. Ms. Williams currently resides in Camarillo and is currently in the Soccer team for her college. Furthermore, her motivations to remain college are that she wants to further her education, get a job, a career, and be very successful. During the weekdays she’s much occupied as a full time student, especially on Tuesdays and Fridays because those are the days when her soccer games concur with school. On the other hand, Megan gets free time for herself and her family to relax during the weekends. The role models in her life are her parents and her sister.; her parents for being very hard working and are seen as true parental figures, and her sister for being the perfect student in school due to her perfect grades. According to Megan, she doesn’t see herself as a mentor, but I truly see her as a role model and admire her for being such a very busy student and for her potential to keep up with school. The way she describes herself are by being a very hardworking persona, athletic, and lastly with a huge sense of humor. Megan’s goal during the next 5 or possibly 10 years is to have a good job, own her own home, be married, and to have kids; technically to have a family. The motto that motivates her to keep succeeding is “Do your work on time”, for she sees it as the true key to success. The things that Megan likes from Oxnard College is that she doesn’t know anyone in this school, also that it’s very easily to befriend the student population on this warm welcoming campus. Although, the small dislike that she has from school is that there is limited parking, and can truly be frustrating to compete for parking space. Furthermore, she expected that college would be a huge learning facility with large classrooms and with professors that would only do lecturing and to not interact with the students; which truly shocked her because it was quite the opposite. According to Megan, “Going to College is expected!” her cultural influence is mandating, but I’d say it’s very good that it’s expected because it just creates a better person in general. Those who go to college are better prepared people rather than those that just finished their general studies. In this case, Megan she’s a very hardworking student which I believe in her potential to succeed and accomplish her desired goals. I truly hope the best for her and her future.

That Essay...

The Feared Graduation.

Friday, June 10. 2010, was the day that started a new chapter in my life. This day was the day of my graduation, for me this day was the most unwanted day of my life. Graduation itself looked like a very fearful event to myself, I felt this day was going to impact me in everyway; which indeed has, but it also created little slight for that graduation experience.

            The day started very early, having very few sleep, I decided to just stay up and to tune into the television. That day was also the beginning of the Worldwide FIFA Soccer cup, the  tournament had begun with Mexico vs. South Africa, very much excited,  I watched the television with just excitement and filled with entertainment; forgetting about the time and the fact that today was my graduation,. Finally the game had ended around 10 A.M; shocked about the time I soared to the hair salon to get my scheduled haircut. Nervous and anxious I felt that the time being put into my haircut was composed of long hours! Finally my hair was done, the time was running quicker now then ever, so hurried I went back home and ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower, luckily, I was smart enough to pick my fancy clothes the day before for this unwanted but special occasion! My fancy clothes was composed of a really nice set of clothes, a black long sleeve shit and my trousers were black also and just to add a little pizzazz I weared this really nice neon colored tie which just was the finishing touch to my vesture.

            Leaving home in a hurry, I drove to school. Getting to Hueneme High; my anxiety and my nerves grew, a little lost I found relief as I found some of my friends arriving barely to school and walking their way to the gym. My friend Darion noticed and glanced at me and said: “hey dude, are you nervous or something?” I stared blankly and replied to him with a long and deep yes. He laughed, and then me and the rest of my friends proceeded to the gym. Fellow students and other classmates were inside the gym already, the gym was nicely decorated with loads of balloons and large flyers that had written “Congrats Class of 2010!”. Everyone inside the gym had large smiles and seemed absolutely happy that they were about to graduate, this made me feel a little more nervous, I felt I was the only guy that was just nervous and scared to walk the line. So my friends finally dispersed in different directions, being left alone, I noticed another of my friend named Cindy approaching me. Feeling shy and nervous I greeted her and gave her a nice big hug, she complimented me with my fancy vesture by telling me that I looked very “spiffy and clean”, me bashful I replied that she looked marvelous and astonishing! Cindy smiled and gave me one last hug, that hug was very special to me because I felt more secure she made feel that the graduation wouldn’t be that bad. Now the time has come, the counselors had now begun to gather up all the student and the mustering begun calling every single student and placing them at the order they were going to receive their diplomas., finally now the official event has begun, the class of 2010 was now ready to cross the line.

            We now all were leaded out of the gym and being escorted to the football field, I noticed that the bleachers were full, there were people yelling and screaming, having seeing so many people I felt very paranoid and a little nauseas. The counselors, hustled up all the students to their seats, in that short elapse of time I felt how slightly sweaty I became and took my seat. Now officially the ceremony had begun, students stoked and ready were cheering and laughing, everyone was ready, so they called the first of the lines to receive their diplomas, fellow class mates were excited and super happy they finally had gotten their diplomas. The next of the rows were called, my anxiety grew just a little more every time a line was called up the stage. Finally, it was my rows turn to walk the line, walking to the stage I felt a little shaky and nervous to get upstage, seeing around the whole view of the many people and my many classmates that had already crossed the line, I noticed two of my friends, they were from the ROTC program and they were helping out by escorting the ladies down the stage; being unaware of the of whom they were calling to receive their diplomas; the dude behind me said “dude, you’re up!” walking forward and receiving and finally receiving that diploma I felt that my anxiety has ceased. Growing into a mood of joy I jumped up and by joke as walking down the stage my friends raised their hands to escort me down the stage, happily accepting, I grabbed both their hands and walked down the stage with two great gentlemen. This little act created such a scene that most of my friends applauded my unplanned scene which turned out to be very great and successfully funny. Finally, relieved I took my seat, very happy and full of joy I watched as the last of the rows crossed the line. Officially now the class of 2010 graduated! Everyone stood up and hugged and cheers on each other and finally we all threw our graduation hat to just represent that we were all happy we finally concluded this celebration. By now all the students dispersed, they went to their families happy and receiving gifts by their loved ones, I then turned to my family, my mother filled with joy and so proud of me; I’ve never felt so happy of myself, I felt ready to face college and  ready to face the real world. I felt my life has just begun.
