The websites!

I really enjoyed making the websites for the class project. I think that everyone did a awesome job especially because i don't think many of us have made a website before. I think that the media project was definitely my favorite and should be common in other class projects.

My nieghborhood sucks!!!

The way that they made my nieghboorhood is rediculous. It is literally cut off from the rest of the city. There is one major street going through it. On one end of the major street are train tracks. If there are trains going through there they go on forever. Then on the other end of the street is a river. The bridge that goes over the river is constantly going up to let boats by. There have been several times like today where there is a big boat taking forever on the river and then a loooong train down the road. If this happens you are literally stuck for a while. Then ounce both of them pass the traffic is terrible!!!!! This nieghborhood need to seriously build some new roads.

Favorite Song

I guess one of my favorite songs that makes me remember something is can you feel the love tonight. It's from he movie "The Lion King". The memery it makes me remember is my birthday from the year it came out. I spent my birthday in Illinois that year. My family is down there and I had my party at their house. They have a huge pool and I had a pool party. I got to swim all day and then I got to open my presents!!! My birthday cake had a picture of Simba and Nala from the movie. After I was done with cake and stuff my Cousin took me to see the movie at the theater. It was the first time I ever saw a movie at the theater. I loved it. It was so moch fun. That was on of my happiest birthdays ever.

Dialog

I chose to do mine on drinking and driving. Drinking abd driving or driving under the influence has been a major cause for deaths by car accident. When you drive under the influence you are putting your life at risk. Not only is your life at risk ut also the lifes of the other people on the road. My dialog is going to have four different view points. There are sveral views on this topic but I want to keep it to four diiferent people.

You Don't always die from tobacco video

The video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRHvZazd4IM uses some strong retoric. The man in the video had some complications after smoking. He know talks through a hole in his neck. Thiss leads people to feel bad and makes them not want to go through ehat that man did. It also uses logic to get peoples attention. It shows people that although everyone doesn't die from smoking they might have to deal with not being able to talk normally for the rest of thier lifes or other situations like going through cancer.

Easter Break?

Should universities celebrate christian holidays? That question leaves me a little torn. On one side I am a christian and would love to see my holidays recognized. On the other hand I can see how that would be unfair. If christian holidays are celebrated then so should other religion's holidays also. It wouldn't be right to only celebrate christmas or easter. Universities have such diverse people. They have people from many different backgrounds and religions. Other people shouldn't be forced to celebrtate something they don't believe in. I love my christianity but I don't think it should be shoved down other people's throats.

Tattoo

I've been thinking a lot lately about getting a tattoo, and what is should be of. I decided that if I did end up getting one that it would be something meaningful to me. Something I wouldn't totally regret later on in life. I also decided to place it somewhere it can be easily hidden, because they aren't something you would like showing when you are in an interview with an employer. But what should I get? Ive always wanted to get a big cross on my shoulder, and I am italian, so I would like to play around with those two ideas and come up with something. I hear that getting a tattoo is somewhat painful, but I can't imagine it being that bad, especially on the shoulder. Has anyone on here ever gotten a tattoo before? Does anyone have any ideas about what to get?

Spring Break Disaster!!

So for my grade twelve year my friends and I had been planning a trip for years. We have all been friends since grade school and still stay close to this day. We all searched around for the cheapest price for our long awaited spring break in Cancun Mexico. Man was it going to be a trip of a lifetime!! We ended up hearing about a special deal from a company called Magic Carpet Tours. As we learned more about the trip we eventually booked the trip with this company, as well as many other people. As the time grew closer we all got more and more excited, only to get disappointed. The night before we were leaving I had my luggage all packed sitting by the door, ready to go. I was at the mall buying some shoes for the trip around 8pm when I recieved a call from my brother telling me to come home. When I got home my family dropped the bomb on me. The airline had called and told us that the company went bankrupt and we were without a trip. We were speachless. Everyone from our high school grade was going...except us. We frantically tried to find another trip, calling agent after agent but unfortunaltly we couldn't find anything it time. We than booked a rush trip to Panama. Not Panama Florida, but Panama. When we got to the resort we realised that we should have jsut stayed home. It ended up being a honeymooners resort. There was nothing there but couples and old people. After a somewhat depressing week we returned home and were the laughing stock of the school. lol...ahh the memories!

300

So I'm sure everyone knows about the movie 300 by now. But what you don't know is that I have it sitting in my DVD player as we speak. There is this guy that I know that can get any movie imaginable!! Ive had it for about a week and I have watched it close to 11 times now. Hehe. I enjoyed the movie so much I even encorporated it into my essay. I think the real reason why I enjoyed that movie so much is because of the greek mythology. I have always been amazed and interested in greek mythology and plan on taking that course at wayne state whether it counts towards my degree or not. Has anyone ever taken the course before? I would like to know if it really is the interesting stuff or if its just a bunch of boring history about greece we have all heard or seen before.

workworkwork

Well, the other week i got an added set of responsibilities. I work for a local web hosting company. While most work (sales, billing, tech support, remote administration of servers) is done from our canton office, we also utilize two data centers. gnax down in Atlanta, (we rent servers there, about 120, give or take) and a newer one, XO Communications in Southfield. In this one we actually rent out cage space, power, and bandwidth. We then build servers in the office and bring them down. Since we are colocating, hardware modifications, upgrades, and repairs are our responsibility. Now, its really sucks to stay in a data center cage all day, so we don't go there unless we have to. However, atleast one person on every shift (24/7) has to have security access to our servers at the XO facility. I recently got asked if i would be willing to be the person to head down on my shift should the need arise. Of course i agreed. I had to sign this crazy contact and then i got this nifty ADT proximity security card. Its kinda scary though, if i keep the door open for more than 15 seconds at a time, the fuzz busts down the wall. It makes me feel kinda needed and important to be the one to go down there when things explode. Hopefully a raise will soon follow. (probably at my next performance review)

World Champions

Ever since I was little there is one thing I always wanted to witness, at least once, and that was for Italy to win the world cup. As the time crept closer to the world cup I become more and more disappointed and more weary, thinking that I would just get excited for nothing. Now was I wrong or what!? I had the time of my life when italy finally pulled through. Here in windsor there is a large italian community, so we have our own little itlay. It is something comparable to greek town or mexican town. There were so many people all over erie street (little italy) you were shoulder to shoulder with the people next to you. After they won everyone rushed the street and we started chanting, shouting, dancing, and having an all out good time, all followed by the much hated parade. Every time Italy would win everyone with jerseys, flags and a car would pile into anyones care and we would all drive in a large parage all over the city screaming and yelling, cheering our team on. Im sure everyone in the city can't stand it when we do it, but we just have to! The parade was so large we had windsor police that came out to direct traffic so we would be able to continue in a straight line! Now that I have finally wittnessed a win, I can't wait until the next one!

Skoal, a pinch better ;)

Oh dip, how I love you so! For those of you that are unfamiliar with what I am refering to, perhaps you have seen me walking around or sitting in class with a fat lip and spitting into a bottle. I know it sounds grose, but there's something about it that I just love. It all started about a year ago when an aquintance of mine and I became closer as friends. Him, being a baseball player, got me into chewing tobacco. Ever since than the addiction has spread to a good number of my close friends and we all get together, have a dip, and hang out or go for a drive in the downtown area. Now the only good part about chewing tobacco is that it comes in many different flavours like wintergreen, peach, and citrus. I never anticipated the addiction becoming so great but it is the first thing I look for in the morning and last thing I do before I sleep. There are many more instances in which I have a "lipper" as they are called but I am just showing how the addiction can really grab a hold of ones actions. I don't think it is any healthier for you than smoking but it is definatly a much better alternative in my oppinion. Any other dippers out there? If so, I think you should look for the "chew boys" group on facebook and be sure to join!

High School vs. University

Through my own personal experience I havn't really seen much a change between high school and university. Honestly, is there really a difference? You pick your courses, fill your requirements, read your text books, write tests, do assignments and finals. Last I checked that was the same schedule as high school students. Now eveyone always talks about the workload being so much more difficult, but I am yet to see anything that is expected of me that wasn't already expected in high school. Mind you I speak from my personal experience being in the Canadian educational system. Perhaps it is different for the american students but I feel I have been fully prepared for university and it was definitly an easy transition. Anyone care to differ?

Family Business

I'm not sure how many people actually watch the food network besides me but if you ever do come accross it, look for a show called family business. I swear they stole my life and put it on T.V. The only difference between that show and my family is that I am italian, not greek. My father has an italian restaurant downtown windsor where my entire family works. My dad is the head chef during the day time, my brother is the head chef at night with another chef under him. My sister and I wait on tables with a few other employees and my mom helps out whenever there are special events going on. It has been great having the restaurant as a part of my life because it is a whole new lifestyle added into a regular life. At time it can be a lot of work, hassle, and it can get very annoying having that added responsibility which you didn't as for, but I wouldnt have it any other way. All of my friends love to party there before we go club and everyone I know frequents the restaurant because they fell in love after their first meal. I recommend everyone to come try the food, I guarantee you will be impressed!!

Running Count At The Border

Everyday I have to cross the border to come to school....twice a day. You would think after coming accross every day for the past few months that the border officers would get to know certain frequent crossers, but unfortunately that isn't the case. At one point during the semester I had a count running to see how many times I got pulled over on my way to school. I eventually got that count up to 8 days in a row. You would think they would be nice about it, but they feel free to rummage through all of your things and leave a large mess when they are done. For example, I had some folded clothes in my back seat and after I returned to my vehicle they were thrown everywhere and definately not folded anymore. So it became a large hassle to come over to the states so I decided to take some time off from school simply because of how much of a hard time I was having. The time off definitly paid off and it hasn't been that bad in a while. *knock on wood* Anyone have any border horror stories?

AIM or MSN? that is the question

Growing up in Canada I have always used msn for my instant messaging program. This helped me stay in contact with all my friends and make sure my weekends were properly organized. As I got grew and changed, so did MSN, becoming this great program is it today. As I started attending Wayne State I notice that the MSN of the states is AIM, so I decided to check it out one day. I was surprised at what I saw. This thing was so hyped up and did nothing but disappoint me. I think everyone should switch over to MSN immediately. There way more personalization, it is much more fun, there are more ways to interact with your friends and its definitly not as plain as Aim.

TPT?

So thursday night I recieved a call from Daimler Chrysler. They congradulated me on obtaining the temporary part time position and asked me to come in and pick up my swipe card. When I went to pick up the swipe card around 1pm thursday, they asked me if I was available to work the midnight shift later that night. Not really giving much thought I accepted the shift and sure enough stayed awake until it was time to go in for my first shift. As I walked into the plant I got soo lost. It took me a while to find my way around but I eventually got to my specific area. I worked there until 7:18am and realised that I had class. So I grabbed all my things from my house, got ready and rushed over to wayne as soon as possible, only to get stuck in traffic at the border. So to conclude the story I finished out a full day at school which ended at 1pm friday, so I had officially been away for a full 24 hour period for the first time in my life. Man did I crash after that....

Blogging is Difficult!!

At first the thought of simply writing about a specific topic on this site seemed pretty easy. As time went on it became more and more difficult for me to come up with things to write. I believe its simply because I am a very impartial person when it comes to many issues. I usually dont really care all that much to express feeling towards either side of a situation. I simply take things at hand and deal with them as they come. Now I am quite a few blogs behind and really need to catch up, so I would just like to ask everyone to bear with me while I continue to finish the blogs. Hehe, thanks.

Healthy Lifestyle?

As a younger child I was concidered the "bigger" kid. With that there was always lots of jokes and put downs coming my way. I was engaged in sports as a young kid but after a major illness it was recommended to stay away from sports for a recover period. In the mean time I took up weight lifting because I couldn't just do nothing. I was amazed at what weight lifting really had to offer. It created a healthy lifestyle whih made me the person I am today. It taught me discipline, realistic goalsetting, patience, and created a healthly hobby. As i learned more, and trained more my body and personality transformed. Believe it or not but weight lifting is a major component to my social success. As I became more of a healthy person it brought about a certain level of respect from otheres as well as appeal. These things made me more comfortably with who I was and allowed me to interact with all sorts of people. The results I have achieved served as a catalyst to makin friends and aquintances by becomming an efficient ice breaker for first conversations.

Canadian Students at Wayne State

Believe it or not but it's very intimidating to be at wayne state. Not only the new location, new people and new academic standards, it is a complete chang of lifestyle. Startin over is always difficults, even more so when you are all on your own. At first I stayed to myself and wasn't very active in the school community. I stuch mainly with other canadians and didn't really give anything a chance outside my circle of comfort. As time went on, sure enough I made new friends and started to become active in the school comminty. No more study sessions alone, lunches alone, or walking around not knowning anyone. I have come to realise that the key to success is the peopel around you. Fiends make things interesting and give you a sense of belonging which overall helps towards your personal success. At first I did not recommend anyone to come here, but now I make sure to tell everyone my personal experience and how much I have grown to love it, and ensure they will to.

What it means to be 19 in Canada.

Ever since I was younger I couldn't wait to reach this amazing age. Being 19 in Canada is the equivalent to being 21 in the U.S. Jealous? =) At 19 thre are no mroe restrictions set upon you. A person could do whatever they wanted, go wherever they wanted, and puchase anything imaginable. Windsor has been dubbed "Bar Town" because our downtown consists of mainly nightclubs, so it is a young adults dream to finally partake in the great night lide windsor has to offer. If anyone is 19 and wants to experience that feel free to message me and come party in windsor!!

Gool Luck!

Just wanted to say good luck in the future to all those in the class!

finals

wowwwww i got 3 other finals i need to do, the only one im afraid of is the mat 1050. that class is so hard mannnnn. i really need to study for that one , cause i can not take that class again, then is the econ, the teacher is retarded so i dont think i will fail in it that bad. but i honestly did not learn one thing in that class. and it is kind of sad because i paid to learn noting, but all that matters is that i did good in my english class cause im taking 3010 in fall and i just have to say again that i had a blast in this class and hope i can have jill as a teacher next semster again, so thanks and i still have 10 more blogs to write byeeee

myspace

how much i hate myspace. it is a waste of time and is only a distraction for students because they check it everyday and every time they r online , so that is y i deleted mine until classes r over, then im back

but yeah i think student will even get better grades because they will spend more time on homework. another problem is all the drama it causes and how much people get caght in the bull shit and i just think it is to funny sometimes but yeha i will be making another one pretty soon so jill i will be lookin for u hahahahahah.

finals? HA. Ive got bigger things to worry about.

I wish finals were the worst of my fears at the end of the year. But no. I have a much worse evil to face. My instrumental Jury. Imagine that instead of a written final, you go up with 5 of the top people in your field of study and they grill you with questions. You study for 2-3 hours a day, every day, for about a month and a half in advance. Thats pretty much what my jury is.

I've been practicing Weber's Concerto For Bassoon and Orchestra in F major for the past 6 weeks. Come a week from Monday, i will get to walk in by myself and play it in front of the Principle wind players of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In an empty auditorium. Talk about a stressful environment.

I love the piece, but im not looking forward to playing it infront of them. Too much is riding on it. Say...my entire scholarship for example.

http://fagotizm.karsav.com/sheet_music/weber.pdf

This is the sheet music for it, with piano accompaniment. I come in at measure 38 and play the top line.

http://www.thehaxor.net/images/01-von%20Weber,%20Bassoon%20Concerto%20in%20F,%201%20Allegro%20ma%20non%20troppo.mp3

300

The movie 300 was a really good movie. It was filled with glory, honor, love, bravery, discipline, and blood. I don't recommend this movie to anyone who is squeamish, because in this movie there are scenes with heads getting cut The movie is very graphic but is very good. The movie is more of a guys movie because it's kind of macho, but I went to go see it with my boyfriend and we both were really into it. We both talked about it after we saw it we also want to see it again. He still talks about it now, but he said he is just going to get the DVD.

Need more MONEY!!!!!

I have so much to do so much to pay for but not nearly enough money!!!! I'm thinking about getting two jobs just so I can get by. I want to get an apartment and a car but again I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY!!!! Hopefully I will find a better job this summer so I won't have to work two jobs, but if it is necessary I will work as many jobs I need to work to get what I need!

TIME

It's the end of the semester and it seems like just last week was the first week of class..... Sike, this has been the longest couple of months of my life. I couldn't wait until the last week of class. Well I just want to say good luck to all my peers in every thing that you choose to get invovled in.

what is wrong with young people

i always get upset when i see or hear young people (18-25 ish) complain about government and politics, or about how they dont like how things are going in the world. it's like, dude DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! GO VOTE, run for office, something. Old people from about 50 on are the largest voting block in this country, and let's be honest, theyre going to croak way before any of us do.
young people have GOT to get more active in political issues, whether it be environmental protection, protecting civil rights and liberites, or whatever. find an issue that you like, and do something about it.
i'm getting tired of being the only young person that has an interest in what goes on in the world. we need to get less occupied by American Idol, Britney Spears, or Anna Nicole Smith, and more occupied with troop deployment, environmental pollution and government corruption. in the end, which of those issues affects us more?

Parking

There is a huge parking issue on this campus. I wished that I can come to class one day and not have to worry about driving for at least 15 -30 minutes searching for a parking spot. I know that I am not the only person on this campus with this problem. I think that the parking structure and or the meters should be free for students. We pay enough in tution for this to be possbile.

I AM SSSSSSOOOOOOOOO TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am ssssooooooooo sleepy, exhausted, worn out, washed-out, drained, dead beat, out of it, getting ready to pass out on my feet, and sssssoooooooo very very very very and did I mentioned VERY TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems that no matter what I do to get some sleep or some rest it never seems to be enough!!!!!!!! I can't wait to finally get a fool day of rest and no worries at all.

My music

I listen to just about any type of music except for heavy metal and classical. My favorite genres of music is R&B and Neo Soul. These types of music is sootheing to the soul. I do know about anyone else but I don't like to get yelled at all day.

So it's the end of class

Jill says that I should post a few more blogs. I certainly hope to add a few points to my score by posting more blogs. perhaps i'll get on that. i still have a week to post some more stuff. maybe i'll do that later or something, after i finish looking over the final project. by the way, how's everyone else's project going?

Now What?

I've been following Oprah for the past two days and its been interesting. I am pretty sure that EVERYONE knows that Imas got fired for calling the womens basketball team some "nappy headed hoes". Okay so Oprah gathered a few black activists to basically say that Imus felt okay with calling them "Nappy headed hoes" due to the disrespect that rappers show black females. The next day, she had Russell Simmons, Kevin Lyles and Common on the show to refute the activists opinions. The main point they made was acknowledging that rappers disrespecting women is a problem but it cant be solved by blaming the rappers and rappers wont change over night. A few young women from Spelman College were there via satalite telling their opinion. To a certain extent I agree with the young women but some of the things they said were unbelievable. Like one said when her friends go to the club and a song comes on like "Tip Drill: by Nelly, they stop in the middle of the dance floor and just stands there. A LIE!!! In conclusion i feel like if a woman acts like a bitch or a hoe then dont be mad when you are addressed like that. When a guy is like "hey bitch " or Hey Hoe I dont get offended because I know they arent refering to me. And if they are trying to refer to me, they can take the tongue that they are using to try and degrade me and #5^&% t^7($@ mailto:^8%&TY@$@!!!!!! (be creative).

finally!

Finally, after all these months of cold weather, we get a nice day. Hopefully this warm weather will stick this time, and we wont have any more cold. I cant wait for the end of school however, so i can actually appreciate the weather, instead of being stuck inside practicing.

Campus And religion

I think that campus should be open during every relgious holiday because if the unversity had to accomdate to every reigion out there the y would never be open. I think that it should be left up to the student whether they choose to attend class on that said holiday.

Lengthening the school day

I don't agree with lengthening the school day, because I believe it will be an negative for students. Because of adding the extra hour students might not want to learn as much. I believe by adding the extra hour, it will decrease the will to learn. This is why I don't agree with field of education.

School Uniforms

I support the idea of uniforms, because when students have too wear uniforms theirs not much jealousy about cloths. In high school some students can effort more expensive cloths and shoes than others. And this can sometimes cause problems.

wow!

It is crazy to believe that we are already at the end of the class. I feel like I am so far behind in all my classes and that this week is going to be very hectic. Well here's to all of us that are stressed and can't wait for these next two weeks to be over!

Holidays!

Of course i am going to say that i believe university's should not have class on major Christian holidays. I say this mainly because i would rather sleep than get up for class. Yes, it is lame but an extra day of sleep every once and a while is a relief. For others a majority of people in the U.S are christian and they should be able to celebrate, but then the problem is revealed. If we allow Christian holidays to not have school we have to do that with all the religions.That may indeed be too many holidays to let out of class.

My Car

My car is really good to me, but I don't think I should drive it far out. I always rent cars when going to places like Cedar Point and Wisconsin Dells. I think it is a good idea to rent cars, but my family feels that I spend to much money on frivolous items. I will probably keep renting cars, I just want to know if anyone else thinks that my idea is dumb.

Phantom of TheOpera

My Favorite Movie is thePhantom og the Opera. It's about a Man who has lived his whole life below the theater. He falls for the lead soprano of the oprera house. she is in love with someone else and the phantom tries everything to keep them apart. In the end Love conquers all and the girl and the man she loves are together forever with no trouble from the phantom. The thing that I love most about the movie is the music. Also the romance of the movie is wonderful.

Short Story!!

The Short story I picked was "The Visitor" by Lorie Wick. It's a christian romance story. That means that it's a romance story without the more risque parts and instead has people talking about God and scripture. The specific story which is in the 1800's is about a man who after a ridding accident looses his sight. While on vacation to rest and hopefully regain his sight he has one of the town wemon to come and read the bible to him. Over the next few weeks he struggles with his faith and learns that he is in love with the woman who has come to read to him every day. when he regains his sight he must chase her because she feels that she isn't pretty enough for him. He finds her and tells her that she is indeed beautiful and tells her that he is in love with her. They then get married and live basically happily ever after. I love this book and others like it beacause i'm a really big romantic. I love that I can read the book without blushing. :)

The Song

The song that brings back memories is Promise by Jagged Edge. This song came out when I was about sixteen and I was with this guy and this was our song. The funny thing is he was an asshole and the song was his complete opposite.

Should school let out on major Christian Holidays?

I think that school should let out on major christian holiday's. I think this because most people are christian and if they aren't then their religion was formed from Christianity. A lot of people would be up set if they were not able to celebrate a day that was important to them and their family. If school were to continue on those holidays then those holidays will slowly lose their meaning to many people. Most of the holidays a re celebrated through out the whole world. So yes there should be no school on major christian holidays.

My Favorite Song

My FAVORITE song is R.Kelly,TI and T-Pain "Imma Flirt Remix". This song really makes me dance a lot. The message that R. Kelly sends is that he going to flirt with your girlfriend no matter what. I mean at least he is being up front about how he feels. Sometimes I feel like that because if your boyfriend is in my face and is flirting, I will flirt back. Its bad but hey. On top of the lyrics, the beat is crazy!! Well my favorute song changes every week. Probably it will be different next week. Remember.."Imma Flirt!"

My favorite song

My favorite song is Summer time, by Will Smith. Thats the best song of all time in my opinion. It reminds me of all types of family reunions and picnics. It's about the summer time when it's warm outside and you are chillin with all of the people that you are close to. It reminds me of all of the care free summers I had as a young kid. It takes me back to when I didn't have to pay bills, worry about school, or go to work. Those were the good old days when I was never stressed out. That song makes me feel good and not worry about anything at that time and moment that I am listening to it.

The Old Days

Back in the day, life was good. I used to have no cares in the world and everyday was happy for me. Of course, I got into my share of trouble, but everything was all good. My days basically consisted of going to school and playing with my cousins and friends. Now, I have to do everything. I have to make sure my bills are all paid and I ahve to make sure all my enrollment papers in school are in order. I wish things were easy since I am responsible for everything that happens now. I wish that for one day, I did not have to worry about anything, but it seems like even when I am on a vacation, I still have to do work.

Favorite Song

It's hard for me to come up with my favorite song because i'm such a music freak and different songs mean something different to me. My favorite all time song though is definately "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. it reminds me of my early days as a tiny tot. But like i said, different songs have different meanings. i really like "Disposable Teens" by marilyn manson. it definately discribes high school life with bullies picking on the little geeky kid. however, my senior year of high school cand definately be described by any number of missy elliot songs, primarily "Gossip Folks" or "Lose Control." i was probably the only guy in my high school to openly admit to jamming to Missy Elliot.

So anyways, just about every song represents something in my life. those were just a few, i really could go on all day.
