Entry 11# Final/Reflection

To all my two followers that i had this is goodbye:'( I know our time was short but know that I've reach my goal i have not intention of continuing this. But since this is my last blog i would like to share my moments and what i learned from it.
Lets start at the beginning.... 
      I remember writhing my first blog oh how i hated it. Well i just don't like it when it comes to writing. I never truly took this blog as seriously mainly because its A Blog!! your not supposed to unless it an informational blog. If that were the case then it would be Wikipedia. Which is boring :( 
        But i did learn an important lesson from this blog -Never take any assignment for granted there always a way to make it into something interesting no matter how boring.
      I would recommd that all English teachers follow this example. It would not only help improve students writing it allows them to do what they already do which is post on social media. 
Dear Chris although our time was short you were a fun, nice teacher i would say come up with more blogging assignments with up to date topics. This all i have to say to you my readers and ill leave you with words my teacher once said if you plan on blogging yourself....

"Remember to think about your audience when writing. Use your voice wisely and thoughtfully. Be insightful and considerate. Think about deep connections to society, humans and yourself. Be engaging and impressive to your reader."

Well its 2:Am ive been doing college work since the morning my legs are num my brain is fried and i just watched this film called Food Inc.
            And im not going to post any of the grotesque images i saw in this movies and it did indeed change the way i look at my food. But im not going to say that i was surprised to see such animal cruelty in this. Yes there were times were i couldn't sand watching certain parts but it human nature.
         Survival of the fittest if you may, but the way society is doing it is completely wrong. I understand that its necessary to eat in order to survive but why must we make the animals suffer even more!!!
            Its bad enough that we eat them but now there experimenting with them feeding them there own dead kind! Injecting growth hormones and keeping them in unsanitary health conditions where there imprisoned and then slaughtered. I just cant seem to understand why? Why cant we just go back to the days were farmers didn't have to worry about their cattle catching something and the animals roaming freely and live freely. But the images i saw was nothing like how i wished it was oh no, it was the complete opposite. And my final words to this before i pass out, is that its about time The united States of America wakes up one day and change the way things are around here.Not even the Europeans are struggling like we are. Because the thing that surprised me the most is that this film is old but society has changed but for the worse not better. 

Entry #10

"Get jacked!" "Get pumped!" "Gain 10 pounds in 10 days!" Walk into any vitamin store and You'll get the idea that you can be cut like a bodybuilder in no TIME! Protein powders compete for shelf space with muscle enhancers and testosterone boosters. You'll find energy drinks, protein bars, amino-acid packets, and even muscle-building oatmeal with 30 grams of protein. Tempting, but do they really work?

    First off i wanna make one thing clear because i know that when most people think of muscle supplements they immediately think of "steroids". For those of you who for some reasons don't know what they are: Steroids jack up testosterone when "injected" to forces testosterone from the body. Which leads to extreme muscle growth but since they do not work naturally it only last for a limited time. At this point one would call this the "elastic clause" Or in other words what comes up must come down. So the negatives of this for men and in some cases women that increase of testosterone change the way a person looks completely and for women it makes them grow facial hair and gives them a more masculine look. But what it does for men is much worse aside for the fact that it lowers your lifespan extremely fast, it also reduce men's "manly hood" tenfold.Which is why they were removed from store shelves in 2005 due to safety concerns and concerned illegal in all off america. But supplement makers have responded with natural products purported to boost this muscle-building sex-hormone.  Not everything is bad for you so when you hear the words muscle supplement think of :proteins, preworkouts, fat-burners, amino-fast, omega 3s, and creatine. 

    SO yes! there are ways to help if your planning on building muscles. But of course always! consult your doctor before make such changes to your body. ;) P.S heres a link if you need help finding some that are 100% safe guarantee --->https://www.bluestarnutraceuticals.com/

Entry #9 McDonald's Pink Slime

Mm-mm.. after watching this doesn't it just make you hungry!! For a bowl of SALAD!! I mean look at this its absolutely atrocious. Before i share my thoughts and comments let me explain what this is. This is those 10 piece chicken nuggets you get at McDonald's or how about that mouth watering big mac everyone loves.But when McDonalds comes to mind people just chose to ignore some may be completely oblivious to the dangers of this food service company.  

You know it might not be the healthiest food for you but it tastes so good and not to mention its sold at a low cost. But what is this Pink Slime?!?!?When evidence on this was released to the public many people were shocked at what they were eating. Now every time i here that someone even claimed to have found a chicken beak in their chicken i believe it .

                  Now how could that be? The rumor behind McDonald's meat processing was that they put a whole chicken bone in all into a grinder and out came this pink slime. It was supposedly pink because of the red blood. But it dosent end there Oh no the had to add ammonia to kill all that bacteria that came from the blood and bones that were in the slime when grinned. And not to mention the dangers in caused to peoples health, 

For example, Cancer heart disease and diabetes and lets not for get to mention OBESITY!! an epidemic that needs to end not be encouraged. Now i know what your saying and yes MacDonald's claims to say that they found a better means to make there food so no more oink slime.  

Entry #7 "Fresh"

Have you ever thought about the food you eat and where it comes from?

 I mean, really, really thought about it?

 Questioned it? Considered it? Are you thinking about it now? Why or why not?

Do you think that  it comes from a farm loving family that we've all  see on TV  like this one were the "assure your that there produce is freshly pick" 

What about our meats? Can we truly know how the animals are treated before consuming them?  
Well, those questions are answered in a film called Fresh, you might be wondering, what is the purpose of this film? The film explains what is going on with our food. 

           To begin, From what i remember is that it starts off in a family farm where they talk about how their organically produced products are clean and pure; however not all of us are lucky to have freshly produced foods a hand. In fact most of society relies on industrial farming. And there's a huge differences between organically produced and industrially produced. 

            And here's why: According to the film Fresh  they show us that those big food companies  don't care for the quality of the food we eat. They buy the cheapest ways to feed the animals and to increase the productivity the keep them all locked away in small confide places where 100s to 1000s of animals can be in. And here's an example of industrially VS.organically                                        

I was completely speechless when i saw this movies seeing all those animals mistreated and being injected with growth hormones to increase food production but what hit me the most was when they said that they have been feeding the animals the own kind. I know that's cannibalism but for animals and all the diseases that came from this was insane such as mad cow disease and swine flue. I believe that this film brings out the best of eating freshly organically foods and the dangers of continuing to consume industrial foods. AND it is IMPORTANT that we change the way society is right now before mother nature starts fighting back.

Entry #6 A Cup of Tea

Green tea is the healthiest beverage on the planet.It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body.This includes improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer. 

Green tea does more than just keep you awake, it can also make you smarter its all because the key active ingredient is caffeine, which is a known stimulant that can also make you burn the fat and reduce inflammation. Caffeine is said to reduce teeth enamel however green tea improves dental health and helps get rid of bad breath. I personally drink 2-3 cups each day many because I've become addicted to its tastes better than coffee and doesn't leave me with coffee breath. Therefore if your trying to get rid of your Starbucks addition i recommend that you try green tea and to sweeten it up add some honey!

Honey helps to coat the throat while the warm water soothes. This soothing and coating action also helps to reduce your cough. And also improve you immune system!

Entry #5 Wall-E vs the humans!!

We are already there. Sad, very sad and true This is humanity's CURRENT reality... and it's about to get far worse than this. Now we may not floating chair holograms and personal robots that come with a snap. But its true society is going towards this direction. Most teens cant stay away from there phones for less than a minute when it comes to texting. 

As for future generations i agree with this videos babies are going to be taught by robots. There are also people who lay on there couches everyday and order take out which is similar to this video.
In addition, people follow random trends that are famous on the internet just like in the videos were they canged there color from read to blue.

Entry #4 Oh the weather out side is frightful let it burn let it burn.

Now don't be confused about the title.. This is about winter in Arizona. Now if you've been reading my blogs you would know that i'm originally from Chicago Illinois here is how winter looks over there...
 

Now heres what it looks in arizona...


Know do you understand why i moved here (he said sarcastically)
I wrote song song about Arizona weather well.. remixed an original called "let it snow",by Dean Martin i do not own this! (hopefully i don't get copyrighted..)

Oh the weather outside is Brightful
But the fire is so frightful 
And since we've no place to go
Let It burn! Let It burn! Let It burn!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It burn! Let It burn! Let It burn!

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the Heat!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be melting

The fire is slowly growing
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It burn! Let It burn! Let It burn!

Ok so not my best work but you get the point if you don't let paint you a picture..
 
Normally what i do now is i move up to flagstaff where it does snow however this year i'm moving up to Canada. My point being is that Arizona weather hardly ever changes even in the winter so if your coming over here for the winter leave you jacket gloves and skis because the only mountain you'll be skiing of is made of sand.

►Entry #3 Flying Car - AeroMobil-Tech

A Man once said, "Mark my word: a combination airplane and motor car is coming.You may smile, but it will come."(Henry Ford, 1940). With technology advance and evolving each day these words are no longer some mans imagination they've become a reality. The AeroMobil is a beautiful flying car.That can transform in seconds from an automobile to an airplane. 
      As a car it fits into any standard parking space, uses regular gasoline so that means no expensive jet fuel, and can be used in road traffic just like any other car except it can avoid traffic because it can fly!!. As a plane it can use any airport in the world, but can also take off and land using any paved surface.

My thoughts on this, is that its has flaws, one being the price range something like this is going to cost millions!! so what use dose it have to the middle class? none that's what. Another flaw would be its fuel even though its said to be use regular gasoline wont that polute the earth more? If they can come up with something like this cant the make it Eco-friendly as well? Sure it has some positives like being able to get places faster and avoid traffic but my intake is that its practically useless and affordable. 

Entry #1 "Gone Bloging"

                   My opinion on blogs? one might ask. Well i for one personally enjoy reading blogs i find it to be an fun and exciting. I could go on for hours and hours reading all sorts of blogs! However upon reading some id say that not all blogs are the same. From my personal experience i found out that some blogs are completely and utterly terrible. For example, This blog "I love Charts" http://ilovecharts.tumblr.com/,  That blog was confusing in many ways it only had poorly drawn photos and then he goes on taking about about pens. The biggest problem is finding the right blog for you because there are tons of blogs that can just be spam.
`
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   


When discussing other blogs, i found put that that ive learned that some blogs are great and entertaining for example," a little announcement…"  By the lazy travelers http://thelazytravelers.com/a-little-announcement/ , I found out that i enjoyed reading this blog it was was both fun and entertaining. There are still interesting blogs to find, and still interesting people are devoted to this form of media while others just have a bunch of free time on there hands. 

                                      Well that's that on my opinion on blogs and blogging

Entry. #2 Dr Who?!?

             Dr.Who? Just who or what does this mean? The Doctor is a Time lord Who travels through time and space in a ship called the TARDIS, Which is disguised as a blue British police box. The Doctor has many enemies, including Daleks, cyber men, And The Master who is another Time Lord.

       What is a Time Lord? Born and raised aliens from the planet Gallifrey, planet of the Time Lords, a race of supreme beings who have discovered the secrets of time travel and they never interfere with the affairs of other planets and they only observe and gather knowledge. HOwver the Doctor is different one day during the Doctor desides to steal a TARDIS from his own people. He goes out to explore the universe.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The doctor is last last of his kind due to the fact that he had to make a decision during a time of war. The war was called The Great Time War bettem the TIme lords and daleks. He had to make a decesion save his people or save the universe from total destruction. HE ends up making the worst decsison (Which in later seaons he goes back and changes it) of his life and sacrifies both his own people and the Darleks to end the war.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The doctor has lived for many years (about 1000 years or so) but not as the same person. Meaning that everytime the doctor is on the verge of his death he regenerates 
(changes his appearance and personality) THe Doctor has gone through 13 diffrent regenrations each different
whether hes old or young.                                                                      Like many people my favorite villian that the doctor always encounters in his journey is the Darleks. The Daleks, mutants into robotic bodies hell bent on exterminating all life in the galaxy. The universes worst eneimes. Even though the doctor risked his own people to destroy the daleks they could not be stopped they kept coming back from the future the past or by creating new versions by using humans as sacrifices.
