My favirote movie is xxxholic. It's my favirote movie because it has suspense and horror in it. Also I enjoyed reading the book series. The movie was wonderfully done and they didn't change any major things from the book.

Journal Entry #14

Today was okay it could have been better. I was lucky I was able to make it to school on time. In my first hour we are reading to Kill a Mocking Bird and we wrote on this paper on which character is similar to us I found out I am a mixture of the four main characters. In second hour we learned about stress and how to handle it and in my 3rd hour we took a test. I studied the night before so I wasn't freaking out when I saw the test. I ate a Philly Cheese Steak sndwhich I was disgusting. Since there are no more Asian Chicken Wraps I have to find an alternative.

I get my belief system from a mixture of people like my church, my parents, and just common sense. But most of the time I get my belief system from my mom. I try not to believe everything I read, hear, or see on the media because a lots of it isn't true. I like to have facts to back up whether something is true.

My day from the time I woke up to the time I got to my 4th hour has been pretty adverage. In my first hour we started to read To Kill A Mockingbird. It's pretty interesting. In my next hour we were learning about stress and how to get rid of it. At the end of class we listened to relaxing music. I got half way through my Hell Girl book. Next was math let's just say it could have been better. At lunch I had the deli.

The one thing that I would like to do before I get out of High School is make a club. I would make an Otaku Club that would be about the Japanese Culture. Also it would be like an Otaku 101 class.

TED Talk #6

1.) Jane McGonigal: The game that can give you 10 extra years of life
2.) Jane was bedridden for 3 months and she had suicidal thoughts and decided that she wanted to make a game that will help her feel better which was called Jane the Concussion slayer which later turned into Super Better. She is also a game designer.
3.)A recap of some of the major points of this talk would be from when she talked about her concussion. She said she hit her head really hard and made a game called Super Better. This game was designed to give the person that plays this game 10 extra lives. Or at least make them feel better mentally, physically, and socially. Through out the talk she list the top five regrets people have when they are on their death bed. Most of the regrets that were metioned in the talk could have been resolved through playing the right games.
4.) My reaction to the talk was that I was amazed. I was surprised that there was actually a game that could extend the adverage life span of someone. Another thing that shocked me was that this game she made didn't just extend your life but made you feel better about yourself. Another thought that I had was that top five common regrets could be resolved with just playing video games. I think she really thought this game out.

Free press is a press not restricted or controlled by government censorship regarding politics or ideology. State run Media is media for mass communication which is ultimately controlled and/or funded by the state government. Free Press compares to State Run Media because the they are both types of media except one is controlled by the government and the other isn't.

An example of propoganda is bandwagon, bandwagon is when they try to say that everyone is saying, doing, or acting like subject they are trying to sell. They usually use words like "everyone's doing it" to make you think everyone is doing that. Propoganda is usually used in advertising like on billboards, the media, and in movies.

I believe everyone should be treated equal. The reason I think that is because we are all human. We all need to be treated with the same respect as everyone else. Even though it might be hard to treat some people with the same with respect as others. Because some people might be harder to get along with than others. Another thing is even someone has special needs or speech impared they don't need to be made fun of. Because they want to be treated with the same respect as everyone else. Yeah they might not look, talk, or even act like you. Doesn't mean you have to put someone down for being different. We all have something that someone else doesn't have and we shouldn't judge or be rude to people for that. If you were to see a girl walk around in all black and have chains and buckles. You might think she hates the world doesn't mean we need to shun her. She might have came from a broken home and that is her way of exspressing it.

Today was really adverage everyone in my classes were worried about having their classes switched. In my first hour we didn't get to present because there was a poweroutage at our school. In my next class a guy from NotMyKid came here and told us his story he was really funny. After that I heard music playing in the halls from Lion King. In my math class we have to do some homework not a lot but some.

My thoughts about wearing pink on breast cancer awareness month, well I think it's cool that we are supporting and are aware about the subject and that we wouldn't take it lightly and just put on a pink shirt because our friends are. I actually lost my dad's mom to breast cancer so I wear the pink to remeber her because she died when I was 2. Even though I don't like pink and the color of pink in my closet is limited to a pink bracelet and a pink butterfly on my shirt I will still wear it.

In first hour my group finished our power point presentation for the Jim Crow Laws in the computer lab. I was able to finish any other homework that I had not finsished even though all my homework was completed yesterday. In second hour we learned some more about abusive relationships and how to get help from one. After that I turned in my math homework and turned it in, I don't think we have homework today. For lunch I ate at the deli and got an asian chicken wrap and the lunch lady told me that this was going to be the last week for Asian Chicken wraps. Why would they take it away...after I got over my 2 second meltdown I sat with my friends and walked to my next class when the bell rang.

An event that I am interested in that's in the world would probally be the summer festivals in Japan. I'm interested in this because it gives you a broader view on how people in the world celebrate. Also I would like a goldfish in one of the games and wear a yutaka and see the shrines. While swinging my lattern around and watching the fireworks, because I am an Otaku.

TED Talk #5

1.) The title of the talk is Todd Humphreys: How to fool a GPS
2.) The speaker of the talk is Todd Humphrey
3.) The talk was Todd Humphreys: How to fool a GPS and it talked about how to trick a GPS. He talked about how their are GPS dots and how unhelpful they were a few years ago. He said how they didn't work inside and how they didn't tell you where you were exactly. But then he introduces the new GPS that will be coming out a few years from now. He explains how it dosen't just tell you what street your on, but on which part of the street your on. Also it can sense the wrinkles on the palm of your hand. Another thing about the new GPS is that it's smaller and portable. But with all this cool stuff that the new GPS can do there is also some bad things that come from it. He said a story about this lady and her ex-boyfriend put a GPS in her car she called the mecanic, the police, and even the FBI. But no one could take it out or find it. He later goes on about how there is the wave bubble and how it creates a bubble around you and protects you from unwanted GPS signals. He said you can buy from a factory and it will only cost a little over $10's but even though it blocks signals. It doesn't just make a button around you but it can make a bubble going in meters upon meters from you. He gave an example saying if you were a captain of a ship and a fog is coming and one of the passengers has a wave bubble. Then the GPS will go blank and it will be just you against the fog. But then he said there is something even better than the wave bubble. He called it a GPS Spoofer it takes the signal that you have and makes a fake one over that so it makes your GPS dot in a different location than in where you are currently at. For example if you were in Disneyland it would say you were in Glendale, Arizona. The speaker even showed us a GPS Spoofer model that he made by himself with his three year old son. He also showed an example on how it worked on his I-Phone. By the end of the video he was talking about how if we were to put GPS on everything then we wouldn't have to wonder where it is or ask people where it is. We would know thanks to the GPS dot and we wouldn't lose anything.
4.) I can apply what I learned from the video is that technology is becoming more and more advanced everyday.

I did not watch the Presidential Debate. I don't know who the candidates are because I didn't watch the debate. But hopefully when it comes to voting that someone who is ready to take charge for presidency will be elected.

Journal Entry #8

My day so far was pretty humorous in my first hour I didn't present today so I felt really happy about that. Then in my next class I took a test, I was prepared for the test because I studied all last night during the volleyball game. Then in my third hour we were doing lots of catching up and now I have homework to do when I get home. I ate at the mexican food line and had a cookie and pink lemonade and sat down with my friends and they showed me their Certificate of Insanity.
