Dogs.

I am a person that loves him some sweet sweet doggy. I do not mean this in any type of sexual beastiality sinniing type stuff, but i am simply saying that i like dog's. I have had a dog in all of the houses that i have lived in for the entirety of my life. I am not the type of person to live in a house where there is no dog to play with. I enjoy walking around my neighborhood so of course i like to walk with my dogs. I enjoy showing other people my dogs because i allways get the best dogs that i can get. I must have a dog that has papers and that must be pretty, and up to all breed standards. My first dog that i actually picked out was a Shar Pei. I know that is not a common dog, but i really like them. Shar Pei's are chinese fighting dogs. They were bred to fight about three thousand years ago, but when the dog was not capable of fighting they used it to scare away ghouls and demons in the Chinese houses and gardens. Cookie was her name. She was also the only female dog that i ever owned. After Cookie died i got a shetland sheepdog, or sheltie (the lassie type dog). The when rusty died (the sheltie) i went out and bought a Pit Bull. His name is Rambo and he is a pure bred gator head pit. That means that i can sell his puppies for about one thousand dollars a peice.

Neighbors.

Now that i am in my new house that i can call my own i am much more pleased with my neighbors. I have one neighbor that has been there for like twenty years i think he said, and he is a very nice old man. His name is Charles, and he is an old white man who lives with his extremely old dog. Charles is about sixty five to seventy years old. He is allways outside messing around in his yard with his feeble dog. He also asks me if i need help doing anything when i am outside mowing the grass or whatever i am doing. Now my other neighbors on my right side are a tad bit different. The house on the right was not occupied for the first month or so that i lived in my house, but just recently the house has been occupied by a young black couple. They are about thirty or fourty. This couple which i do not remember their names has no kids, but they have a whole pound of dogs it seems like. They are nice and all but they seem a bit rude. I personally think that they are serial killers that eat the bodies. That was a joke do not call the police and get them arrested for being seriell killers. I just wish that i lived near some people that were near my age so that i do not have to drive so far to get my fix of companionship.

My life alone.

Okay i have moved out into my own house for a little over a year, or around a year and a half. You know something like that. Well that is the total time i have been out on my own. I was in an apartment in Bartlett for the first year that i was out on my own. Then after two stupid six month leases my girlfriend and i decided that we need to get out of these stupid apartments. I mean the land lady was a certifiable retard. She was so contridictory of herself it made me want to kill her. There were times when she would tell me to do something then when i did it she would ask me why i did. Then when i did not do what she asked she would write a little stupid letter and place it on my door, but that is beside the point. Now i moved out of those dumb ass apartments, and moved into my own house. This house is also in Bartlett, but it is not run by a retard who is almost crazy. The new house is much more spacious, has a yard where i can do whatever, and best of all there are no stupid old ladies allways knocking on your door asking you stupid questions like why is your car parked backwards. The reason is because that is the way that i like to park. Over all i like living in a house much more then i do living in an apartment.

HEAT!!!!!

Ooh my this heat has become a burden on me now. I know that i complained the whole time that it was cold. Then i complained about the rain, but now i must put my two cents in again. This time i must discuss this heat that has all of a sudden struck this crazy city or Memphis Tennessee. It seems like the weather is tempting me. Well not tempthing but taunting me to try and go crazy, and as far as im concerened it has already driven me crazy. I wanted the cold and rainy weather to turn hot, but i did not want the humidity that comes with the heat in memphis. This humidity is the main problem that i am facing. I mean that i am used to heat because of me being born in Florida and all, but the humidity is a killer. I wish the humidity would just calm its little happy self down and die a painfull death. The heat is not cool because i like to wear hoodies to school but i am not going to be able to because of the humidity that is striking me down every time i walk outside. Well i hate all the weather that does not resemble the weather of Clearwater Florida.

Emmerson.

My older cousin Angela has finally had her baby. She named her baby Emmerson Leigh Fairchild. Fairchild is her fiance's last name of course. She has been growing her belly for forever it looks like. I know first hand experience that the stomatch usually grows through oput the whole pregnancy, but Angelas' stomatch was like normal for the first three or so months then all of a sudden overnight it BLEW up like three times the size of her normal belly. She normally weighs about one hundred and fifteen pounds, but when she got pregnant she gained alot of weight. She ended up weighing around one hundred and seventy pounds. This is a gain of sixty five pounds. The normal pregnancy only gains about twenty or thirty pounds at the most. Emmerson Leigh weighed eleven pounds and thirteen ounces. Yes she was a very large baby who did npt want to come out. She is a short fat baby. Emmerson was only twenty one inches long.

Dustin's Computer.

Okay my crazy cousin had made up his mind to sell his computer that he built from the ground up. This is no ordinary computer either. This is a computer that he bought every single seperate part from who ever had the best parts. The price tag for all of the seperate parts did not really matter to him because he wanted to make his own extra special computer that had no equal. I would say that he succeeded. His computer cost him about six thousand four hundred dollars to build. This is just for all the parts. The labor that he used to build the computer was about twenty or thirty hours. He had to work for almost a whole year to be able to get all of the money so he could build his computer. Now he is going to put the computer on Ebay. He told me that he was going to put a buy it now tag on the computer for about eleven thousand dollars. This is not alot because this computer has seventeen Terrabytes. That means that he has almost as much memory on his computer as all the computers on the campus combined.

Olympic flame.

Okay why in the world is this such a big deal? Why is this Olympic games torch makng people go crazy and try to steal it? This is not something that i am used to happening. The Olympic Torch is supposed to be a symbol of freedom, fun, and competition. I have never known something that is to represent something so pure and innocent to cause so much turmoil and grief. Well i thought that China was treating Tibet and their own Chinese population wrong, but i did not know that they were torturing them to that extent. Well at least i did not think that they were breaking all of the laws of the world, and breaking their own laws. I thought that that it was in their laws that torture was okay, and since Tibet is basically their property it was okay to torture them. Then today in class Ms. Wendy told the class that they are breaking all of the rules without remorse. The Chinese have their own rights and customs so i believe that they should be able to host the Olympics because they won the lottery thing fair and square.

Rain!!!!!!!!

For the last past freaking week or so it has rained like the sky is trying to flood the earth like in biblical times. This rain is getting on my nerves because it seems like i have gained allergies this year. For my whole life i have never had allergies at all. I have never had to blow my nose for hours (it seems like days) at a time. This change of weather has given me allergies. Well my grandmom says this i see it as a disease that is killing me slowely and painfully. I wish that the rain would stoop for at least a few hours so that my nose will try and heal up instead of being raw all the time. Then to top it all off i have never sneezed more than two or three times in a row, but now since this stupid weather i have been sneeizing like ten or twelve times in a row before i have to pinch my nose shut for three hours so i wont sneeze any more. Then i have been trying to mow my grass for this past week or so, but i can not get it done because the grass will not dry up because it does not have time. I went ahead and mowed it yesterday but that was a mistake because the wet grass was sticking to the mower blades. It was a horrible experience.

A sad but yet happy time.

Well well well it seems that the greatest team in college basketball today has been defeated. Well at least the best team that every body except me thinks. I know that i am not a big fan of the tigers, but i was a little bit frustrated that they lost. Well i was happy because i won fifty dollars because i bet on Kansas to win, but still it was a shock that they lost. This was a game that Memphis was supposed to win by like twenty points, so i was confused because Kansas came out running and gunning. Kansas was a surprise because they are not an offensive powerhouse, but instead a defensive one. Then Kansas was scoring like they were the phoenix suns instead of the Kansas Jayhawks. This game made my whole family mad except for my sister and i. We were both pulling for Kansas. My sister was pulling for them because she wanted to be different. I voted for them because the odds were in favor of me winning alot of money. I knew the whole time that i needed to put up more than fifty dollars, but i was afraid to because i personally thought that the Jayhawks were going to lose by alot.

MY SON IS WALKING.

Well as im sure you picked up by my title my eight month old son has already begun to walk. It came out of no where. Well i mean he used to pick himself up and lean on the couch, the wall, and peoples legs with no problem, but the other day he just took off and ran into my girlfriends (his mommies) arms. Ever since then he does not crawl unless he falls down while he is walking across the rooom. This makes me so happy because it seems like he is growing up, and i wont have to hold him all the time. I mean he does not just sit there and cry all day long now. He will actually just sit thre and play by himself without me holding him. He can not yet run like he wants too but he can walk with a surprising speed that i thought that he would not be able to reach yet. He will lean up on something until he can catch his bearings, but as soon as he does he will take off into the open floor of my house until he steps on something and falls down. He is not stunned by this at all. After he falls down he will get right back up and do it all again.

21

I know that this is not a usual topic for a blog, but i thinnk that i want to talk about it anyway. The other nnight my girlfriend and i went to the movie theatre and saw the movie 21. This was a movie that she wanted to see so i decided okay we can go see her stupid movie. Well it turned out that this was a very good movie. I know that it a little bit weird, but card games and card tricks interest me. I enjoy learning new card games to play. I even like to learn different ways to cheat at card games. By the way dont bet me any money on a card game if you dont plan on losing. I have become pretty good even without cheating. Any ways as i was saying this movie caught my attention right off the bat. There was a college student who went to MIT. So you know he was damn mart at math and he was already accepted to Harvard medical school, but he had to compete to get the one schlorship that was offered to everyon ein the world. Well he was broke and had to find a way to get the money. So he was confronted by a group of people that wanted to use him to make mmoney on card counting team for black jack. So basically he joined the team made alot of money. Got robbed. Twice, and then he told his story to the Harvard guy and got the scholorship in the end.

The Final Four.

The Final four is a big step for a team that has been at best in the past a mediorcre team. The University of Memphis has made it to the final four for the first time in about twenty three years i do believe. This is slowely setting the team up as a power house. I know that we have had a few really good seasons in a row now, but that does not mean anything because we have never been able to step up and take the tournament by storm and win the whole thing. That is the only thing that matters in the world of competitive basketball. Well thats all that matters in all professional sports or competition for that matter. Look at my favorite team in the NFL. The New England Patriots. They went all the way to the super bowl with out losing, but they could not pull off a win the the big game. So now the whole season wa for naught, and they could have lost all the games in the season and been just as well off. This is a lesson that the Tigers need to learn. They need not think about the season in which they lost one game, but instead focus on the game that is right in front of them.

Memphis sports.

Well well well it is about time that the city of Memphis tennessee has something to cheer about. Memhis can now cheer for the fact that they have a good team. This is about the first time in the history of Memphis that they have been able to say that we are better than you at something. Memphis' college teams have been okay, but have never been very good to the point that they are going to have a chance to accually win the tournament. Lets face it the Grizzlies are just about the worst team in the NBA. I do believe that they are the worst. They might be ranked second to last but im not exactly sure. All I know is that they are horrible and can not say that they are even a decent team. I mean they have never ever even won a playoff game. They used to be an okay team. They were able to scrape the eighth seed in the playoffs, but they could not even win a damn game. Now that the University of Memphis is doing great that gives the people that live in Memphis a reason to be proud of the stank pot city that we live in.

Reading's

Okay i thought tht the readings that we were supposed to be going to were going to be a big boring fiasco that was not worth my time. I was not sure that i would even be able to stay awake for the whole thing, but i came to find out that thay are not as bad as i thought that they would be. It was not what i would call a fun night out or anything like that, but i was able to pay attention to the readers and not catch myself snoring. Well at least wehad three authors that knew what they were talking about instead of three crazy people who just like to talk because of the exposure it will get them. The first reader christine keneally was talking about the evolution of language. Yeah that is not a very entertaining subject for me but i was able to pay attention for the duration of her reading. Then out of no where she caught my attention by saying that a dolphin put a person on punishment. That was about the highlight of my night until ms. sullivan gave us the story of the Albanians. That was a very interesting story that i listened to the whole way through.

President Press conference.

Okay i must admit that this week has been very very fun because instead of sitting in the room taking notes on simple things, and talking about our big paper we have actually been ingaging in fun and enjoyable activities that keep me wanting to come to class everyday. Like Tuesday's debate where we had to learn about arguing for the simple sake of arguing was a little off the wall but yet it was an intresting experience. Although tuesday was fun I must say that Thursday's Presidential Press Conference was one of the more fun things that i have done in my school career. I was able to joke, but be serious at the same time because we were talkiing about serious topics, but we were still allowed to act like young people when we were answering them. This week has been a very fun, interesting, and exciting week in my English 1020 class, and i can truely say that if in my high school we did exercises like these i would have probabley been much more involved in my school that i was.

Classroom argument.

I think that the classroom argument that we had to do on tuesday the 18 was a really good thing to do. The argument was not only one of the most fun things that we have done so far this year it also helped me with the whole concept of finding an argument. the argument also helped me be able to make up a strong argument for my big paper. The argument was fun because it allowed us to be ourselves and just straight up argue whatever we wanted to argue about. This was a good way to let out steam and just get to know our classmates that we see everyday in class but do not really try to meet in a friend type manner. This aregument was fun because i was on the reciepent end of maricus' death stare, so the whole time i was laughing. Also emily was being the team leader of her team because she seemed like she was really getting into the argument. All in all i will say that daniel lead our team very well, but we could not overcome the fact that the other team had so many "PERSONALITY PROBLEMS" whatever that is supposed to mean.

parents are crazy.

Okay my girlfriend works at a daycare, and has to deal with litle bad ass kids all day. Now some of these children are not so bad, and then there are the ones that continuesly piss her off to a degree that she gets mad at the world, but the main problem is that the majority of the parents are dumb asses. The majority of these dumb ass parent get mad at the fact that they think that there are too many kids in each class. The fact is that there are only four kids to each one teacher. That is not too many that is a small number. Then there are the parents that get mad because you dont hold their child for the whole day. That is impossible to do because there are more than one child in the room at the same time, and i think it hard to hole four to five children at once. I know that i am just ranting on and on about these crazy people but it helps me sleep at night because i know that i have talked bad about them behind their back. That is to say that these parents more than likely tallk about my girlfriend behind her back

Memphis #1.

Well i was watching the news last night and i saw it. memphis is once again back to the top of the country in college basketball. This does not really affect me because i dont really watch that much college sports because they are a little boring to me. I like to watch professional sports because they are more interesting. The fact that my college is number one in the country is a very cool thing because i can call all my friends that went to different colleges or ones that did not go to college and tell them that my college is better than yoursa because we can oplay basketball, and then win at it when we do play. I mean the fact that they are good and all is nice but i dont think that they are still people playing a game. There is also the fact that Tennessee is still a much better all around team that has handed memphis their only loss of the season, and will give them another if we play them again in the tournament. The University of North Carolina is also a better team than the University of memphis any way.

Memphis weather.

How come the freaking weather in memphis is so crazy? Why is it that when i wear shorts the weather is cold so the next day i wear pants and the weather is extra hot? This stuff is unnerving because im going crazy. I can not stand this contriversial weather that can not make up its mind whether the weather wants to give me heat stroke or frost bite. I really want it to just be warm like it is in my home state Florida. Well the temperature is higher but it is way less humid so it feels WAY better than memphis ever feels. Well i would not mind if the weather went cold or hot i just want it to make up its mind and pick one, or just stay one temp for more than thirteen minutes before it changes in the complete different direction. I do hope that the weather changes soon because when the temperature fluxuates spo often it gets people sick, and when people arew sick they complain about everything in the world. They also call into work and leave me to run a store by my self but that is another story.

School shootings.

In the past few weeks in memphis there have been about six school shootings. These shootings are rising up out of no where and getting innocent people hurt. Dont get me wrong i dont think that all of the people that are getting shot are as innocent as they say they are. I remember about two weeks ago there were four days in a row where four different school had a shooting. The bad thing is that i knew two of the people that were in two seperate schools when two seperate shootings happened. Both of the stories were pretty much the same. The stories go that either a group or simply two people got into an altrication and people started coming around the scene and boosting it up. After the bystanders boosted up the scenes so much the people that were in the altrication get their friends to get into the argument also. As soon as ten people are all arguing with each other a domino effect begins to happen. just like in world wars. people get involved because their friends are, and you know everyone has a friend that will allways jump to your defense. Then when someone gets their sorry ass beat they pull out a pistol and try to act bad. Then someone on the other side pulls one out, and well the rest is history.

Dentristry.

My life long dream has been to grow up big and tall and become a dentist. I could not tell you why i wanted to become a dentist so bad, but none the less i have allways wanted to be a dentst and i still do wish to become a dentist after i graduate from the University of Memphis. As a young child i was the odd kid because instead of wanting Gi joe action figure type things i wanted stethascope and doctor kits so i could pretend to be a doctor or a dentist or where ever my imagination took me at that particular point in time. I enjoyed playing games like these. i do not have any clue why medical stuff amazed me. I was taking an anatomy class at Craigmont when i made the firm and serious decision to take on a medical feild job. This was a big step in my life because i am not the kind of person that makes these types of decisions very often. Well i guess the fact that i am lazy and dentists only work about four nine hour days a week didnt help me make my decision to be a dentist. Probabley the main thing that helped me make up my mind to be a dentist was the fact that i had recently been going to an orthadontist. I have had these damded braces for about three years and everytime i go to his office i give him a check for about three hundred dollars.

Spring Break.

My whole life i have allways seen those television shows like TRL, 106 and park, and MTV's music videos where spring break is celebrated just like a holiday. On these shows spring break it portrayed as another christmas or halloween or something. I have allways thought that spring break while you are in college was like a chuckey cheese for adult's. I all ways imagined that there would be non stop parties everywhere and that was all that people in college did on spring break was chill out and have fun with their friends. This notion of spring break has been shot down with the biggest gun you can think of. I am on the eve of myu spring break, and it feels like a regular day to me. I know that i have to do homework, do real work at my job, and even help my granddad work on his 63 Impala. That is about all i will be doing. My spring break will be filled with work, work , and more work. Well at least i will be able to work when i get done working. Yep after i finish all my work i can relieve myself by going to work and doing things taht are not fun, but that need to be done. Well its not going to be that bad. I will allways be able to sleep when iam feeling too overwhelmed by all of the work that i have been doing.

Make some one cry huh?

Okay if i was ever in the predicament where i needed to make some one cry, but i could not talk to them or touch them i would have to do something that is both drastic and well thought out. There would have to be much planing in this experiment. I would get in good with some one and then screw them over at the last moment. That is how i would make them cry. Well that would work if it a girl or something, but if i wanted to get a guy to cry i would find his girlfriend or wife or whatever and have my way with her. While i was having my way with her i would video tape thw whole thing. I would make sure to make her do nasty things that i shall not mention here. This may sound like an easy task to do, but i would need much preperation and studying of the situation before i acted. I would have to make sure that this girl that will soon be a movie star is cute. I would not like to have to pork a whale or a girl that looks like a pigeon. I would get either take a class with this girl or find out where she works and while she was not looking i would slip some extacy into her drink. then i would take her to my car, and bow chik a wow wow a movie will be made. that is how i would make a boy cry.

paradigm

The word paradigmis a grammar word. The word can mean a set of forms all of witch contain a specific element, or the set of all inflected forms based on a singlew theme.. Paradigm can also mean a display in fixed arrangement of a set. For example boy, boys, boy's, boys'. the word paradigm can also refer to the thought pattern in a specific scientific discipline. This word is commonly used in parables and fables. Paradigm is also used to refer to a set of words that have the same elements and similarities. the etymological explination of the word paradigm is that the word paradigm is either derived from the Greek word paradeigma which means "pattern" or "example", or it is derived from the word paradeiknunai meaning "to demonstrate". This word is about six hundred or seven hundred years old in the english language. It first appeared in the fifteenth century. This is one of few words that has been introduced to a language and kept the same exact meaning that it has when it was introduced. For nearly 400 years paradigm has also been applied to the patterns of inflections that are used to sort the verbs, nouns, and other parts of speech of a language into groups that are more easily studied.

Aftert Iraq.

After reading this article about iraqi and middle eastern affairs I realized that the United states
highestranking officials do not have as much knowledge about the Middle East as they should have. There is a part of the article that says that Condeleeza Rice says that all people in Irq want to be a unified country of one people and one name, but in all factuality the Kurds and the other different ethnic peoples in Iraq are fighting for their own seperate independence from the country that Condeleeza rice says that they want to join. The war in the Middle East is a very expensive and very influental in the lives of the American and Middle Eastern poeple. If the front runners of the war do not know what they are fighting for then how are the poeple that are supposed to be supporting the war going to know exactly what they are supporting? The United States is meddling in affairs that really do not concern them because the intelligence that the United States government is circulating is becooming false and screwed up as the war goes on.

The Nerve of People.

As most of you know i have moved out of my grandparents house into a house of my own. I moved out sometime during my senior year of high school. I was seventeen when i moved into an apartment with my girlfriend and our dog (rambo/puddin). I never meant to move out but it just sort of evolved from spending the night over there to actually living there and not coming hoome to my grandparents anymore. Well that is all beside the point. The point that i was going to make was as soon as i moved out my grandmothers broke ass, lazy, good for nothing sister moved into my old bedroom and tried to begin taking over everyones lives like she has the right to tell others how to live. She was only supposed to be staying at my grandmothers house until she got a job and saved up the money to get her own place, but she was not about to go get a job and have to work while she got everything for free at the house. My grandfather who had a very good job could financially support her fat ass while he was working, but he retired. he was sixty seven so it was time. After he retired and came home to stay for good he forced her to get a job. She did not want this so she decided to get a job that she only has to go in three days a week. I am just greiving because she annoys the mess out of me.

SHAQ.

Well i never thought that i would say that some team had the stupid idea of trading the best center in the game, but it is was true the orlando magic traded shaq for a booty group of people. The magic have never made a worse deal than that. Although the lakers got the best deal of all time, and shaq lead them to three championships. Then it happened again the los angelas lakers traded shaquille oneal away to miami for a slaw crew of people that will never equal the amount of talent the the one player shaquille oneal brings to a basketball team. I could not believe my ears when i heard this announcement coming from espn's sportcenter. This news brought tears to my ears becuse that officially ended the los angelas lakers dynasty to an end. Not that i am a fan of the lakers or anything but i enjoyed watching themm dominate the other teams with both the best center in the game and the best guard in the game. That guard is a man simply known as Kobe. Now i am simply astonished. Shaq has been traded again. this time to the fast paced electric Phoenix suns.

World Civ. Test.

Okay yesterday I had my first test in my World Civ. class. This test was no ordinary test, but it was an exam which counts for fifteen percent of my whole grade. So as you know this is a very very important test for me to take. I was misinformed because I thought the test was pn next thursday. I am lucky that one of my classmates texted me and asked if i needed any help in studying for tomorrows test. I was so shocked, but yet i was extremely hpy that i recieved this info before the time to tkae the test. I was able to study that night and then the next morning, and i became familiar with the majority of the subject matter for the test. I was still nervous when i entered the room for the test, but as soon as i recieved the test and looked at it I knew instsntly that this test would be easy because i learned all of this info the night before. The relief that swarmed over me was too enormous to bare. The only way that i was able to contain my happiness was because i smiled at am neighbor who texted me and said that the test was tomorrow and say thank you to her.

My response.

Feb. 12, 2008

The phrase “Get out the vote” is a very controversial phrase. This term means that no matter how you as a person that is eligible to vote you must go out and vote. Voting is a right that has been passed to the American people from the constitution. The constitution does not say that you have to vote, but it gives you the right as a human to vote for the person that you see to be the best for said job.
The voice that pops into my head when I hear the slogan “get out the vote” is my Granddad’s. The reason for this is because my Grandfather is from the time period that this article was written in, and he shares the same views that the article represents. I remember the day that I turned eighteen. My Granddad called my cell phone and told me that it was time to go get registered to vote. I did not understand why this was so urgent to him that I get registered so soon, but it only took a few seconds before he told me that “No matter what you are going to vote in all of the elections that come your way. It is your right and duty to do so”. Now every time I hear anything about voting I always think about my Din-Din (that is my Granddad). It also seems that I reference these type terms to Republicans because of course my Granddad is a Republican.
The audience for this phrase is a very broad audience. It is simple the audience is every person in the United States that is eligible to vote. All people that are allowed to vote in the United States should “get out the vote”. Well the article does target mainly target those people in the USA that are not getting out to place their vote. The reason that voter’s are being influenced to “get out the vote” is because the candidates know that they will receive an enormous amount of votes because their names are on the top of the list.
Probably the most notorious “get out the vote” phrase from recent times would be “Vote or Die”. “Vote or Die” is a phrase the P Diddy (Sean “puffy” Combes) came up with for the 2004 voting campaign. P Diddy came up with this phrase because he knew that he is a super star, and young people will follow what ever he says. Lets face it everyone follow celebrities, and they know it and try to take advantage of it. P Diddy was not alone with this “Vote or Die” campaign he also had Paris Hilton, Kanye West, and the whole VH1 crew rocking his slogan.
The main difference between these two phrases is that the “get out the vote” slogan was focusing on the people in the United States that were not voting and also trying too keep the regulars voting, but P Diddy’s “Vote or Die” was putting the main focus on the younger people. “Vote or Die” tried to get the “Hip Hop generation” who is not known for the regular voting habits to get out and vote. Although “get out the vote” was simply trying to make everyone vote “Vote or Die” picked a side, and wanted everyone to vote for a certain candidate.
The main point of this article is to defend the right that everyone has to vote or not to vote. The article declares that “get out the vote” is not a very strong political device. This term is not helping out the voting process, but yet getting everyone out and voting is slowing down the process. The article also states that all of the people that come to vote with an intelligent perspective of the candidates are being cancelled out by the people who simply come for the act of voting. When everyone comes to vote with out an intelligent mind set the process becomes slower, more expensive, and makes it harder to put your vote in. Voting is a privilege. There is not a law that says you have to vote. The article also says that there will eventually be laws passed that you will have to vote or their will be fines or even jail time if you choose not to vote. I am not surprised that the article was written about fifty years ago. Although even today there are still campaigns that try to “get out the vote”.

Mcdonalds

Working at Mcdonalds is a pretty fun job. Well at times there are problems that occur, but the majority of the time i have a fairly decent time working there. The main thing that makes the just seem boring or aggrivating is when customers complaign about the smallest little things. For instance today a lady complaigned that her nuggetts were cold (trust me these nuggetts were fresh). I said okay mam i will have someone drop you some fresh nuggetts. All yuo have to do is pull up and wait for three minutes, and they will be righht out. This crazy lady went livid talking about she wanted to talk to my manager. I was calm about saying that I am the manager, and that what i am doing is Mcdonalds policy. She would not accept that i was the manager because i am young. So I calmly talked her into pulling her up and every one was happy from then on. Well i got a good laugh at her anyway.

A sad day in my life.

Okay I realize that the super bowl has been over and done with for about a week, but I must say that i am just getting over my shock that has overcome me. As you all know from reading my blogs that I am a DIE HARD Patriots fan. I have been for that team since I started watching football. I was and still am in a state of disbelief because the G men won the STUPID Bowl. I do not want to make excuses for the Patriots, but i feel obligated to. Tom Brady did not have a good game. This could come from a previous injury, or even something more diobolical. The Giants came to play that game and the Pats did not plain and simple. I just hope that the Pats can come back from this defeat with their head held high and have a good ofseason where they obtain a few good draft picks. This next season will be the end of the Patriots dynasty because they will lose the majority of their star players to either free agancy or retirement. Just to let you know i did not cry. I came close to throwing something, but no tears came out.

My dog Puddin

Okay my girlfriend and I have a dog together. This dog's name happens to be Puddin. Well his real name is Rambo, but sarah (my girlfriend) thought it would be funny if she could make the dog answer to Puddin. What kind of dog is it you may ask. This dog is not a chihuahua or a palmeranian it is not even a small dog. Our dog is a 95 pound pitt bull. Yes my big peice of meat is named Puddin. Dont get me wrong at first I hated the stupid name puddin, but it has grown on me and i like the way it sounds when you hear his feet thumping on the carpet when he runs to me when i yell PUDDING! Our dog is a pitt bull yes, but he has no aggressive streakk at all. We have had him for about a year and a half and all he does it tear up shoes and what not. He is a good dog. He is annoying at times because he demands attention all the time, and will sit there and lick me until i pet him.

Moving out.

Okay I have recently moved out of my grandparents house into a house of my own. Well I actually moved out about a year ago. I moved out into a house with my girlfriend, and i did not yet know but my son was in her belly. So the three of us are just living it up being all alone and independent. Everything that people talk about like freedom, no curfew, and having company anytme you want is GREAT. I can come home at three in the morning and no one says anything to me. Although no one ever talks about all of the money you have to spend. Bills pile up real quick. There is the MLGW, cable, internet, my phone, sarahs phone, house note, and a whole other slew of bills that need to be paid every month. There is not usually very much money left over for sarah and I to go out and eat on, but we manage to have fun at the houose with our little seven month old baby. All in all i would have to say that it is indeed nice to say that i am on my own with my little happy family.

The Death of my Playstation!

I am one of those people that like it a little to much. I like to play my games alot. I can sit for hours at a time and play the same game, and do the same thing in the game until I get it just right. Recently I have been playing a game called Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360. This is a shooting game based in the future. It is sort of like a world war three type senario. I know that sounds lame but it is pretty fun, but there is a catch to this. I played it too much. I played it to the point that I won every match that I played. So I decided to play a different game. The game that I chose was Kane and lynch. It is also a shooting game, but this game is on the playstation 3. I started playing it, and it was pretty fun until the disk started going crazy and making loud noises inside of my playstation. I had no clue what was happening, but i was not prepared for what happened next. All of a sudden the disk shattered into hundreds of little peices. This explosion if you will broke my playstation to the point that it will not turn on anymore. I just wanted to get this off of my chest because it made me so sad that six hundred dollars just flushed it self down the drain.

The Internet

How come schools are almost exclusively using the internet now? What ever happene to simply writing your paper then bringing it in to class on the assigned day and getting your grade that way? It seems like teachers and other such people do not like paper anymore. Has paper offended you in some way that us as students should know about, or do you just not like carrying all of those papers home everyday? If a student comes from a household that does not have a computer with the internet how is the student ever going to catch up to the school work if he/she has to constantly worry about if he/she finishes the work how am i going to turn it in? That has been a big draw back for me because I did not use the internet very much before I got into college. I did not use instant messenger or whatever it is called. If I wanted to talk to somebody i simply called them. The internet is a good thing do not get me wrong, but i would rather write up or type up a paper and turn it in that way, or at least that was the way i felt before i learned how to use these contraptions called computers.

People and ambulances

Okay I know that I have only been driving for a little over two years and other people have been driving since way before I was born, but why is it that I seem to be the only person that pulls out of the way of an oncoming ambulance? I mean its not like ambulances are small and blend in or anything like that. They are large, loud, and have flashing lights all over them. I guess some people do not care that a person could be dying inside the ambulance or they are just "tards" and dont know how to push the brake pedal down. It just seems to me that if a big truck is driving towards me it is probley best to move out of the way. Look at it this way if you throw a brick at a car what happens? The brick smashes the car window or door or something like that. Now imagine a brick that is three times the size of your car............ Do you get my point? Basically ambulances are built big, loud and extra flashy so people will know to get out of the way for like two seconds so that the ambulance can get to where it is going and maybe just maybe save a life.

My Story

Basically im a pretty average kid. My name is Jackson Lloyd Martin III yes I am a third. How many other thirds do you know? I would be willing to bet not very many. I was born in Clearwater Florida area code 727, and my family and I maved out of there at an early age to Memphis because my granddad got a job up here, and i was not to pleased with the city when Ifirst moved here. I talked bad about the cold that we have because remember I am from Florida where it never gets cold, but then I moved to Chicago with my dad. Needless to say that damn city is far to cold so with in a month I moved back down to Memphis with my grandparents where i have lived for the majority of my life. I am eighteen and weigh a little over 200 lbs. I know it doesn't look like it does it. My major is Biology because I want to be a dentist. The main reason that I want to be a Dentist is because im very lazy and they only work three days a week and if they are really swamped they will come in for a fourth day. Also my orthadontist (yes I have braces) has agreed to let me intern there as soon as i get the chance to. So basically I know what i want to do for the rest of my life.

Brittney Spears

Okay people what happened to Brittney Spears? Ms. Spears used to be one of the best singers, dancers, and performers in the United States. Well not to me I allways thought that she was attractive, but her music allways felt like it was a bit on the short bus side of things. Then out of no where she started adopting little Indonesian babies that you only saw on the television once or twice before she went out and bought a new one. I also thought that you were either an alchoholic, addicted to medicine, or a stoner. I had no clue that you could be all three at the same time in your life. MMMMM well okay you can be two of the three things, BUT you can not be all three of them. That would just break all of the rules of drug use. I mean out of no where she stopped singing got married to a weirdo who I am sure was in it for the money, and wanted to get a quick shot at fame which he got the fame, but it was because he was I mean is a complete jackass. Then Brittney starts sniffing the happy flower and begins to shave her head. Yeah her head. She would have been better off just making a sex tape like Paris Hilton then she would be back to normal. Wait she did make a sex tape and she is still not normal yet. I guess some people can not handle the stress of having everything that they could possibly want and just go with it. Well if you can not tell I think that Brittney spears deserves all of the gossip that people can throw at her. She had everything in the world well she still has everything, but the main thing that you need, and that people is a strring role in a movie that is a knock off of scary movie(meet the spartans if you did not know.)

Chewing Gum

How come every time I sit down at one of these desks at the University of Memphis and reach down to scratch my leg or pick up a book or something else I feel nothing but old, moldy, rusted dry, and decayed gum under the desk top. Frankly im tired of looking at the bottom of the desks in all of the classrooms to try and find a desk that is not going to give me herpes or something of that nature, but at least thats all I am finding under the desks. Because at Craigmont (the highschool that I graduated from) it was not uncommon for a condom or something of that nature to be found under the desks, and yes they were often filled up if you know what I mean. So I propose that if you see someone putting their waste under a desk top that you might have to sit at tomorrow why dont you bust them out and make them wish they never even thought of being so triffling. I would like to go ahead and say that thank you for not defiling the desks that i sit in every day because now I know that I will not have to take any special trips to the doctor's office just to get the aids that your nasty chewed up gum left on me checked out. I would also like to think that these restrooms that I go into everyday, and I see bodily excriments (not just pee-pee either) on the floor that the students in this class are not the ones doing it.

My Homeless Project

When i was talking about my views about homelessness in class today it felt as if the rest of the class thought that i was being cold and thoughtless towards the homeless situation. I admit that im not allways good with my words in some degree, but I am not trying too bash homeless people. I was simply saying that having been on the brink of homelessness my self at one point in my life that there is no reason to sit around and try and make people feel sorry for you. Seriously all they have to do is get up off the corner and go try and get a job. People are not usually born homeless, but in some cases they are. Although you might have the odds stacked up against you at times in your life you can never just give up and say that you can not do it. (By it i mean anything that you are trying to accomplish in your life.) So all i was saying in class today is basically do not give up and let the world take the best out of you. Allways try to achieve and become the best person you can be. Most of all do not blame society for what has happened to you. Unless of course the government showed up at your door for no reason and kicked you out and took all your money for no reason.

Im open for bets!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!

Okay okay its that time of the year again, and the Super Bowl is right around the corner. Guess what people my team made it again! Yes thats right im a dreaded PATRIOTS fan. I have been a Pats fan since the beginning. Well of course I mean when I started watching football around when I was five years old. Now im sure you are thinking that i just jumped on the Pats bandwagon, but you my friend would be far from the truth. I'm a die hard fan and i will remain one even when Tom Brady, Randy moss, Wes Welker, and the rest of the Pats players retire, and get their numbers retired. Now i dont want you to get me wrong i believe that this will be a good game, but we all know that the Giants are a fluke and the Packers and Brett Favre should have skunked them. The only reason that that did not happen is because........... well I admit Eli had a good game, but that will be his last good game of the 2007 season.



P.S. If anyone is ready to put their money up on those *COUGH COUGH* Giants *COUGH COUGH* you know where I will be.

My manifesto

A manifesto is a public declaration that one person or a group of people make that they believe will change something, or fix a problem that plagues the world. Manifestos can contain principles and intentions that are often political in nature, but are not limited to politics. Manifestos can outline particular points of a persons’ life, school work, or simply his/her strategy to accomplish a goal of any sort.
Their have been numerous manifestos. Some of them have been received well by the public while others have been completely rejected and thrown out of the topic of discussion. A few manifestos that were accepted by the general public are The United States Declaration of Independence written by the second continental congress, The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, and also Mein Kampf written by Adolf Hitler himself. Although the Declaration of Independence turned out to be a very good thing the public was split on whether this new manifesto was going to be accepted or not. The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf were accepted by the public right from the get go because both Hitler and Karl Marx had a way with their words. The Second Continental Congress, Karl Marx, and Adolf Hitler all laid their intentions out on the table, and both great and terrible things have come from the brains of these men.
The Declaration of Independence, written by the Second Continental Congress for the United States of America was accepted and adopted on July 4, 1776. The Declaration declared that the thirteen colonies in northern America were to be announced “Free and Independent States” and that “all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved.” The Document was passed because there was a unanimous decision by all thirteen colonies. The Declaration also explained the justifications for separation from the British crown, and was an expansion of Richard Lee’s Resolution which was passed by congress on July the second.
Another very influential manifesto was The Communist Manifesto (The Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by two communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This manifesto planned out the suggested course of action for a proletarian or working class revolution. The whole point of this manifesto was to overthrow the bourgeois social class order, and to eventually bring about a stateless and classless world. This manifesto was first published on February 21, 1848, and ever since then the very influential political tracks that Marx laid out have been followed without question. This Manifesto was commissioned by the Communist league.
Finally Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a manifesto written for the world to know exactly how Hitler was going to take Europe over. The German-Austrian dictator wrote the first edition of Mein Kampf in 1925, and later in 1926 he wrote the second version. This manifesto was heavily influenced by Gustave Le Bon’s 1895 The Crowd: A Study of The Popular Mind. Mein Kampf has a very prominent violent Anti-Semitic view. Hitler also discusses his views on “the Jewish Peril”, and says that it is impossible to be a German and a Jew at the same time. This manifesto is also a book on political theory because Hitler talks about his view of the worlds twin evils Communism and Judaism. Mein Kampf also laid the stage of how Germany was going to rise up and overthrow the shackles that the Treaty of Versailles placed on them.
Jacksons’ Goals to Take over the World!!!
First off I will need to finish writing this paper. For the betterment of my life I will need to graduate from these little classes that I am taking at the moment. Then I will also need to finish up with my regular four year college education, or finish up my junior year before I can get accepted into the universities Dental program. Before I can obtain my bachelors degree, or get accepted into the dental school I will need to maintain my management position at McDonalds so that I can keep affording to travel all the way out to the U of M campus from Bartlett everyday. After I finish up with my college education I will spend one to two years as an intern at the dentist office of my choice, and after that I will be able to become a licensed dentist. I plan on working at the dentist office that I interned at for a few years after I finish with my internship so I can save up my money and be able to afford my own office. After I open my own office I will keep grinding on and on and letting the money pile up, or at least I hope it is money piling up and not the bills. If I am lucky enough to make enough money to hire a few other workers, a secretary, and maybe even the top notch machines I will try and expand the office into two stores, and I will hire more licensed dentists to run the other store while I run the first. Following the purchase of the second store I will begin training another dentist to run the store that I am working at so I can become more of a supervisor over the two stores, and after all that I will watch the two stores grow to four then to eight until I monopolize the dental market. By the way this will all take place in southern France.
