I want an entire kitchen in my room,
i'm apathetic,

PIRATES VS. NINJAS
arrogance
texting during conversation
money
money
money
everyone has their opinion over pirates and ninjas. its hilarious. people truly think that a barnacle blasting pirate could beat a sleek serpent-like ninja. not possible. I will show the research to prove the ninja's superior skill and killing power to the pirate.
"oh pirates have guns and junk. They have cool hats and are bad to the bone. Pirates eat people for lunch and make weapons out of the bones of their enemies. They must be better."

Rhetorical Response
The Second Amendment and The Right to Bear Arms
The Second Amendment states that the people‘s right to “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to bear arms, shall not be infringed”. This amendment has been fought over and judged just as much, if not more, than any other amendment. The standing question is: do the people have a collective right to form a small militia, or does each individual have a right to a firearm? The “moral” choice has long been to illegalize weapons to the mass public. This choice would certainly cut down on crime and death rates. Nonetheless, self defense against anything that may need a bit more distance than the edge of a blade to properly defend oneself calls for a firearm. It is in the individual’s best interest and right to own a firearm for self defense and preservation and to stop said actions is indeed an infringement.
There is absolutely no way to stop the illegal sales of firearms. In the legal sale of a firearm there are background checks and such, as there very well should be. The type of weapon sold in monitored. Military grade products are not usually available to the public. The only event that would occur in an instance where legal firearm sales were made non-existent would be an augmentation in illegal sales. This would take to money out of the honest American’s pocket and supply it directly to the underworld of the U.S. If crooks have guns, so should the honest American for a guaranteed defense.
Due to the current state of the economy and the ruling dealing with the “clear and present danger” doctrine in Schenck v. United States, it is most likely illegal to make this point out loud. Another clear reason for the individual’s right to keep firearms to remain legal versus the state controlled militia alternative is the possibility of a revolution. The government must protect the people from itself. This amendment makes it possible for and overturn in power if need be. America was built on such men who owned firearms and marched into their own cornfield for their freedom. To try and put a stop to the same spirit that made America would be hypocritical, which is not a surprise coming from the government, and unpatriotic.
I have full faith that America is in no need for a revolution, nor will it be as long as I live. However, self-preservation is important, especially when guns are rampant in a world where it is a severe disadvantage to own one in defense. The second amendment protects the individual’s right to bear arms and it always will.

In Class: homegirl
I wish I could tell you my favorite part of homegirl. There were so many good parts to it. Hmmm... to think of one specific moment that really stuck out to me is very hard. Ok, so maybe I didn't read it because I didn't realize that an assignment was due today. That's ok though. I'll do it tonight as many students are. So I think I'll just talk about my day today. I'm very tired. I went to bed at 11:30 but didn't go to sleep until 2:00. What's up with that. Had I known of it, it would have been good time to complete my assignment.

In Class: Pictures
I think that this image shows amazing simplicity. I feel quite at peace when seeing this picture. This picture comes from a time of racial oppression, but that isn't the meaning of the picture. It's seemingly a snapshot out of an ordinary day with two friends. Times are SIMPLE. They have a job that makes enough money for what they need, and that's good enough for them.
This photo tells the story of the common African-American life in the 50s. It was a side of America that people don't usually see. It was a time when music legends, such as Muddy Waters and B.B. King, started to rise out of the pulp. All African-Americans were together in the world. By heart, they were all connected. A true society of friends.
The color of this image gave me the feeling of age. Age in a vintage sort of sense.this photo is not black and white out of choice, it's black and white because of time period.
My eyes are first drawn to the smiles on the men's faces. Come on baby, let the good times roll. Come on baby, let me soothe your soul. Come on baby let the good times roll; roll all night long.
I think it's trying to make me feel the way I just explained in the earlier paragraphs.

in class: trois
1. Sealing Grout
2. Surviving a Fire
3. Defense Against Blade
4. Phasic Relaxation
5. MMA No Holds Barred Fighting
6. Post Driving
7. Musical Theatre Music
8. Sleeping
9. Making It Seem Like It's Raining Using a Water Hose
10. Chillaxing
11. Emotion Control
12. Listening
13. Cooking Any Types of Meat
14. B.S.ing my way through anything
Authority number one has to do with my step-father, who taught me how to seal grot. Shortly after that, he asked me to seal all of the grout in our new house. Authority number three has to do with Master Kurban. He taught me defense against the blade. Authority number four has to do with my old theatre director Michael newberry, who taught me this technique. Ok, I'm sick of talking about these things now.
The person I really want to interview is my father. I want to interview him over the civil rights movement. In 1960 he would have been 20, so he was the age to be right in the thick of things. The movement in Texas is something very rarely talked about and something my father never talks about. My father has always been a good storyteller, so I believe that this ought to be good. The only thing he's ever said remotely close to the subject is, "Son, I grew up in a time where you either had to be a fast runner or a good fighter." Sounds promising.

In Class: Man in the ______
Essay 2. Oh glorious essay 2. I feel a little less confident about this essay then I did about the first. I find it hard to incorporate direct quotes from the sources while still holding true to the style of the essay. I like my essay, or at least what I have written. I have yet to read completely through it.
That's about all I have to say about that... yup. I'm having a very tiresome week already and it's only tuesday. I'm mainly just tired. I wonder if a nap class is offered. How to Nap: 101. That'd be rich. It should be the one class that takes care of all of our core requirements. Thus, we wouldn't have to take any core classes. We could spend all of college focusing on our majors.
