Happiest Place

There are a lot of places that I can consider happy but one of my happiest places on earth would probably be located at my house. I don't get to travel around or see some places like other people so my options are limited. I have taken vacations to San Francisco and Las Vegas and even gone down to Mexico but those places aren't places where I can spend time and be happy. Disneyland had proclaimed itself the happiest place on earth and it might be true but in reality its only a fun place if your a child, adults can't enjoy the rides like children do. Plus I haven't been to Disneyland in years. Amusement parks are a fun place to be at but I personally don't like places with a large amount of people bunched up into an enclosed space. When I spend time at my house I like to lounge around and play with my pet bird, a domesticated wild bird. My family first found the bird when it was a baby and we nursed it back to health because both of its legs seemed to be broken or at least very damaged. He recovered and ever since it has been living with us just flying around our home as he pleases but he is also an aggressive bird, if you make him angry he will fly and attack either your feet or your hands but it doesn't hurt that much. Another activity I do is play online games and webcam chat with other online friends. My friends have a webcam setup in their room and we just hang out for a while just talking about random stuff and mess around with siblings who are in the room for fun. Most of them live in different cities like Los Angles, San Bernardino, and even the UK. I love finding out how other people live just to see how different but similar our lives are.

10 Problems


  1. Internet Gaming Addiction
  2. Violence Media
  3. Violent Video Games and School Shootings
  4. Bullying at School and Online
  5. Violence at Home
  6. Violent Culture
  7. Suicide
  8. Drug Use
  9. Peer Pressure
  10. College

All these problems affect teens now a days, unlike how teens in the 80's and 90's which didn't have much problems with video gaming and internet use. Since then the graphics of video games and television have improved to look more realistic and invoke some people to want to act out against friends and family. I don't exactly agree with video games causing violence because playing a murderous game doesn't make me want to kill teachers and students in school. Most of these problems we teens deal with can be easily dealt with by not having a bunch of stupid kids doing whatever they want and making them understand that that stuff isn't real and is made up.

Current Event

A Kentucky man goes to a local Kmart and buys all of the merchandise that they had in store. The Kmart store that was two days away from shutting its doors and was planning on giving away all the items to their Kmart power buyers. But he didn't keep the stuff for himself, Paynter spent a total of $200,000 to buy the goods, which ranged from clothes to office supplies. He could have easily sold all the merchandise for $30,000 or $40,000. Paynter's gift to Clark County Community Services was the single biggest donation ever. Paynter has seen a lot of economic suffering at his jewelry exchange. "What I see is people coming in my store, needy people sell their stuff," Paynter said. "It's bad nowadays. I just told the clerk let's just give it away to charity."

Assignment 22

I read about a blog that talks about how when an tertiary consumer eats, he doesn't receive as much energy as other creatures do. The energy flow begins at the plants where herbivores consume it for energy. Next is the animals like snakes that eat the animals that eat the plants, and as the process happens the snake gets energy from eating the herbivore like a small bunny. Once consumed the snake gets about 100 cal from the bunny that got 1,000 cal from eating the grass that had 10,000. After the snake next comes the tertiary animal like an eagle who eats the snake and gets about 10 cal at the end of the trophic cycle. I like reading about interesting subjects like the process in which animals receive energy and other ones. I would not change a thing about this blog because its informative and it has nothing wrong with it in my opinion. I don't like the lack of pictures in the blog, if there were more than two than it might help with understanding. This blog was located in the website called Britannica, the encyclopedia.

My Motivation

I have some but not many motivations in my life at the moment. Stated in a post I read, most of the highly successful people in the world have ten traits that motivate them through out life which in turn makes them millions of dollars. One of the most common traits they have is an extraordinary purpose in life, they set their goals high and strive for the top of that certain profession. They take risks like trying out new strategies in order to achieve a higher position and are confident that they will attain it someday in the future. I posses only a few traits mentioned in the site like striving for more knowledge to become smarter and educated. I already accepted that I don't know everything I need to know to become a successful person in life, I still need to go to college to gain more knowledge to become a master at what I want to do, become a pilot.


Once I have the chance to prove I can be one later in life, I will put all my effort into trying to become one by taking classes and starting from the ground up. I have a plan to go to OCC for the beginning part of my education and eventually transfer to a more focused school of aviation within the area if there is any. I always didn't want to become a pilot, when I was around the age of 6 and 7 thats when almost every kid began their dream of becoming something big in the future. I imagined of becoming a scientist once and also a a police officer when I was younger but my views eventually changed and my mind was set on becoming a pilot in the army because of the all the dangerous situations they encounter. Like many people, I have changed my opinions through out life and I am leaning towards becoming just a pilot for a company at the least.

When I finally start to go to an aviation school I will put all of my effort into it and I will not slack off. I am not exactly sure of how I will start out this career but it will be worth the effort I do put into it.

Assignment 21

It is hard for me to choose what my favorite hobby above all is but I would say going on the internet interests me the most. Out of my favorite activities like hiking and watching anything to do with science and space I prefer to  surf the internet because there is so much information and other stuff on it. The variety of websites are tremendous and you can browse for hours without end but its not recommended to.  Some websites like Google and Yahoo are search engines that help you find other websites that aren't as popular but help with your search and others like Facebook and Twitter are social media sites that allow you to communicate to your friends around the globe for free.

I have a Facebook account like everyone else in the world but I don't like using it, I prefer to have it just for fun and I rarely log onto it. Social media is not that interesting to me because I feel that if you really want to talk to friends you should do it in person or through the phone at least, not putting messages on Facebook and Twitter where everyone can see. Also when I do log on I come across very stupid posts usually about song quotes that have little to nothing to do with their personal life, or people who put things just to get noticed.



VSauce logo
I prefer websites that you can spend time on and get something out of it, even if it is knowledge of how to properly clean your keyboard, I use picture/video sharing sites to goof off. My go to website when I log onto my computer is Youtube, it is one of the most well known video sharing sites that attracts viewers from all ages daily. I have been using Youtube since late 2009 and I have an account which I use on a daily basis. It has been up and running since February 14, 2005 and in November Youtube was bought by Google. The videos I enjoy to watch are music videos, scientific information, gaming, and funny videos. There is one channel in particular which I look forward to watching weekly and its called VSauce, this channel produces videos that inform you on weird facts from around the world and have a very large audience.


Template of a meme
One of my other favorite websites is not appropriate for school so I can't mention it, it is not illegal but has very strong language. Another favorite of mine is called Memebase and it is a picture sharing website that only makes certain type of images called memes, you must first know the reference before you can understand the joke (like inside jokes). You can make your own very easily by using and already made template and you only have to add your words to it. These kinds of pictures have become very popular among us teenagers for the past two years and has been growing world wide by implementing them into everyday objects like stickers, hats, scarfs, and posters.

Assignment 20

Out of my favorite movies of all time, Pulp Fiction has to be one of the best overall. It is a wild movie containing drug use, graphic violence, and some sexual content. This film premiered in October 1994, first in a film festival and was praised as a great film by Roger Ebert giving it four stars. He says that it is a movie containing an aging genre, instead of like in new movies where the characters just say enough for the plot to advance.
His opinions are all positive, when he first went to see it at the premier he thought that it would either be the year's best or the year's worst film. He describes Pulp Fiction as a movie you can see again and again and still not know whats coming next, its that entertaining. I agree that it is a great movie because when I first saw it I instantly loved it. The roles Samuel Jackson and John Travolta play are tough and intelligent thugs that surprise you with their actions through out the movie.
While watching it, I especially liked the part when Samuel Jackson questioned another character to where he gets very upset and kills the man for saying "what" too many times instead of saying some thing else.
