Pictures... makeup

Using photos of yourself on your blog, I think can be useful in many ways, and should be done at your discretion. Having real life photos of yourself on your blog could be useful in many different ways. In describing oneself, making a statement about yourself, etc. It's pretty universal. So it should be up to the blogger to know whether it is appropriate. Obviously a person should be able to deviate between a photo being school appropriate or not. So that undermines the appropriate vs. inappropriate argument.

The main argument in students being able to use their pictures, is 'predators' lurking the digital jungle. I understand how a photo could be provocative and misleading, but if it is within the school guidelines it should be appropriate for everyone in the world to see, without being aroused.

Using self photos is a universal way to express oneself. It tells a story, shows yourself, and helps describe you.

I live.....




I live in a place where people take vacations. Its usually sunny and warm considering we live in a tropical climate. I can throw a stone from my backyard, and it will land in the gulf of Mexico. It's something very close to paradise. Florida, specifically Bradenton, Florida is where i reside.

Its pretty nice here, I think that I see it differently because I have lived here my whole life. But living within minutes of Anna Maria Island is definitely a plus considering that its a vacation destination for many Northern travelers. Its right in between Tampa, and Sarasota so there are many different things to do here. Like fishing, hunting, Tampa's night life, and beaching it. Growing

HellaFlush...




The hellaflush trend is a car styling technique that is sweeping the nation. Fast cars, slammed on the ground, with sick fitment and BIG wheels.
Heres what I'm talking about.

The deep dish look is sought after in the car world. Perfect wheel fitment is a must. To achieve this there has to be virtually no clearance between the tire and body. Giving the flush look. There's many different ways to lower a car. Coilovers which is a dampener and gives you a tighter ride, Air ride which gives you the option of raising and lowering the car, and spring strut combo for a lower ride hight. Either way, you can still achieve the stance, and look you are trying to achieve.

Army Tough Guy Trampled by Deer.
On August 4th, 2009, Borg Vonshmooganshmash was walking through the woods, when he was trampled by a wild, rabid pack of deer. Vonshmooganshmash was walking through the woods on the way to the medicine mans house to get a love potion, to lure Yark Boardwallbenshmoogan into his arms. Yark Boardwallbenshmoogan, was an ugly french maid that he had met at fish market, where he was buying some halibut for dinner. When he met her the first time it was love at first sight. She had long red hair, brown eyes, and moles all over her face, and a 5' o clock shadow. Vonshmooganshmash needed the love potion because Boardwallbenshmoogan would not date anyone who was poor and owned no pigs. But borg didnt care.

5 things teachers should do....

1. Make a fun atmosphere.
Kids retain information better when there more involved. Have activities that are fun for students to partake in.

2. Listen to students
A lot of teachers don't really listen to students. They listen but don't really get what we say.

3. be approachable.
Some teachers are not approachable, students are intimidated by them. So be nicer, and more approachable.

4. be willing to help.
Some teachers will tell you a page number when you ask for help, But students don't want that. They want you to sit down with them, help explain something.

limericks.

For this valentines day I work
But the hostess is shooting me smirks.
I'll show her what's up,
In the back of her truck
I guess that could be a good perk.

This valentines day is a bust
Call of duty 6 is a must
I'll do work until dawn
then go to exxon
because sweet tea is something I lust.

Valentines day is for pairs.
who partake in special affairs.
They go out to dinner.
then become sinners.
and enjoy in the morning some pears.



Philosophy on life..


I could talk for days about my outlook on life.
But to sum it all up I don't want to be an ant.



"Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continuously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. "Here's your change." "Paper or plastic?' "Credit or debit?" "You want ketchup with that?" I don't want a straw. I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be an ant, you know?" - Waking Life.

I think that this is possibly the most sense anyone has ever made.
I am a human, and so are you.
We are supposed to interact with one another. To share experiences, to relate, to learn from one another. But we go through life without that sense of belonging because we refuse to put ourselves out there, because we fear failure. So everyone continues on, with the same routine.

wish people would take more social chances. Like say hi to a stranger, or shoot the breeze with random person. I think that would curve the hostility between people. It would break the ice for future conversation, and make those people seem more approachable to others.

I just wish people were more open and willing to connect with one another.

I also think that common courtesy is a virtue to live by. I wouldn't say i believe in karma. I just think that we should be nice for the sake of being nice. Were all here for the same reason
