I dont know about you, but this childrens' book was read to me quite often when I was in elementary school. Now they are making the movie. The trailer looks promising, and I hope the movie is good as well. Here is the trailer if you want to check it out.

Freeeeeewriting
Problem paper; child obesity
have to show more stats about child obesity. Make my paragraphs longer and more persuasive...i think im going to play the devil's advocate...
...Why are chillin fat like really...who cares?, I see fat kids all the time and dont flip out. why would someone even want to read what I have to say on fat kids? Ads like larger kids when it comes to food, they do appeal to their demographic. Maybe the more healthy a person is, the better off they will be. I did hear that if you eat healthy you can actually heal wounds faster
...maybe I should eat healthy, I do have 2 bum toenails (or lack there of). Practice what I preach. About 70% of my solutions that I propose I dont even do to get healthy so why even put them in there? People can read papers and articles like this all they want, but it all comes down to action, and that is the hardest part oh getting kids to lose weight. There are thousands of methods to get slim and I could really care less. If I want to get fit i will do it on my own.
I did propose the solution of more gym time in schools in my solution paper...you know Hitler saw that physical fitness was important to society and added a lot of gym time in his schools...that sounds a lot like our society today. Just look at the entertainment industry. Children shouldnt be really overweight though I mean it is bad for your health. Perhaps scaring kids into getting thin isnt the way to go, i mean you have the parents, if they arent living a "healthy lifestyle" then the kids wont....so whats really the problem here?
Everyone BUT the obese kids??
schools
parents
fast food resteraunts
What if it is the kids fault? i mean they are after all obese, but can they really help it? maybe the obese kids are proud of their size
Yeah this is a problem, but arent there bigger ones out there? Look at our economy I would say thats a bigger issue than kids who are obese. And stats are showing now that obesity rates are declining...slowly but hey its a start
Is child obesity an issue? yeah, but how big of an issue is it? Sure the articles you read including my own paper will make it seem like its the biggest problem ever but is it really??

Eng Homework That We Have Over Spring Break...Suck
English 102 Course Goals
1) I am aware that that rhetoric can be both visual and in the text form. I am comfortable with this and practice this.
2) I am comfortable as to how to use persuasion to...persuade the viewer or reader and have been doing this for a long time now.
3) I have developed my style and am comfortable with the way i write.
4) Its important to know what exactly you are talking about and be clear on what you say, otherwise the reader will put it down and watch MTV...and bring about the end of the world.
5) You have to have good points if you want a good argument. Or like McArdle likes to say "You gotta have those glowsticks when you are at the rave"...terrible simile in my opinion.
6) Hey its prolly a good idea if you do research on a topic you are talking about! JUST SAYIN.
7) In order to develop your inner writer you must practice what you are writing. Blogging is actually a good idea to help develop your style
8) Its important to have your papers correctly formatted otherwise your "ethos" will be tainted. Who wants to read a paper that is poorly formatted?!
9) Slacking=death, so I make sure that I am responsible when it comes to papers and stuff
10) I am comfortable with this goal fully and have no problem interacting in a group.
11) I need to work on this goal, but I am trying to improve by revising.
12) I am trying to take constructive criticism and get better at writing and communicating what it is I'm trying to say.
Course Content & Format
1) I completely understand this goal and like being analyzed by my peers as well as analyzing my classmates
2) I understand this goal and find this goal quite easy to achieve.
3) I enjoy confrences and find it crucial for helping a writer get better.

University Core Curriculum Goals:

2) Communicating at the college level is not a problem for me.
3) Everyone has their own set of beliefs and values and its important to respect other peoples opinions even if they differ from your own.
4) Knowledge of history can greatly help how we progress as mankind
5) Its important to work with others to solve problems. If people worked together many then we could solve many issues.
6) I am using my talents and skills. I went to this college because of my love of making films.

Spring Break...Part Deux
Oh you didnt think that I would leave out the best part of Spring Break would you?!? This part of SB was sooo eventful that it needed its very own blog post. Im going to give you some backstory on this before I inform you on "The Incident" that ocured to me over Spring Break...
My big toenails have been a' hurtin' for a few months now...I mean like wow these mothers hurt. The nail was infected and it was super nasty gross. It bled, smelled bad and was hard to look at. ANYWAYYY...so on Monday I went to the podiatrist (foot doctor) to get it checked out. The moment Dr. Gohil saw my toenails he said in a thick Indian accent: "Ohh dear dos are very very bad and must come off TODAY!"
Now when he said the words "come off" I was kind of confused and then I realized it...BOTH of the toenails were going to be ripped off with a pair of pliers yeah i know... freakin pliers.
So he lays be back in this huge chair and tells me to "relax" as he pulls out a huge ass shot. He claimed that the needle needed to be big so it would "hit the nerve" my foot would become completely numb. He then told me that I would receive 4 shots in each foot...FML.
He gives me the shots and I dont need to tell you how bad they hurt, and I already have a thing with needles anyway. But after my toes were numb he went to work and what I'm about to show you may bother you. I am deciding to show you exactly what he did to my toe instead of simply telling you. Dont watch this is you have a weak stomach and I am being serious. This video is a less professional version of what happened to me, but you will get the idea. So without further adieu I give you...my Spring Break.

Spring Break Aftermath
Over Spring Break my girlfriend and I thought that we would spend our days doing nothing but laying around in a bed the whole week and wow...were we wrong. Instead we spent our days watching her nieces Gracie (5) and Amirah (4). Dont get me wrong they are super cute and funny but they are a pain to watch. My girlfriend and I spent more time watching her nieces than we actually did spending time with each other. Spring Break was fun, but not the way I was depicting. Anyway here are some pics of the lil chillinz.

Log #6
Monday:
Today we were assigned our multimodel projects. We were each assigned a specific topic and have to create a website using Weebly so show us our stance on the topic. McArdle talked about how we should use links and videos in not only our projects but our blogs as well. He then went on to tell us of the importance of having multiple elements in our project.
Wednesday:
Today we needed our books, however, only 2 people had them...McArdle lost it. These pages went over the importance of defining what exactly you are talking about in any given paper. McArdle also went over Ethos, Pathos, Logos, and talked about the importance of that as well. After he finished talking he let us work on our websites for the last ten minutes of class.
Friday:
Today we got in our peer response groups and looked over our papers. Amanda, John, and Sara are going to be reviewed on Monday. He then told us that we would be reviewing Jacob's and Olin's papers the following Monday.

Spring Break
So for spring break I am definitely NOT going to this place. Maybe if I had money I could go there. I am going to be spending my spring break hanging with the girlfriend and doing nothing at all and thats fine by me. So I may not be going to an amazing beach, but I will be spending my break with an amazing person.
Weekend at BSU
I have only stayed for 2 weekends at BSU. My girlfriend was actually able to come and see me. We didnt think that the weekend would be that great but it actually turned out to be really fun. We ate at a Thai place and the food there was super good. After we ate, we went to Late Night and jumped on the huge bouncyhouses. Overall we had a great weekend and I hope she can come here more often because weekends at BSU are waayyyy better than the weekends at Indiana State
