Where's all the stuffing

I had 3 thanksgiving meals this past holiday weekend and not one of them had stuffing. This greatly upset me because stuffing is one of my favorite thanksgiving foods. I just didn't know what to think about this blasphemous break of tradition. Plus I only had green bean casserole during one of the meals and none of them had any gravy. I don't know what this world is coming to but no stuffing or gravy is a sure sign of the apocalypse in my book.

Flava in ya ear

During my boredom this holiday weekend I found myself downloading waaaay to much music. One good thing that came from this is that I found my new favorite song. My new favorite song is flava in ya ear by Craig Mack. It was released in like 97 or something like that so its not a new song, but i love old school rap and this song is a prime example of old school flow. The remix is the best though cuz it features the Notorious B.I.G., busta rhymes, Puff Daddy, and LL Cool J. So if you guys like old school rap or any of the above rappers check it out, cuz its definitely the best song ever!!!(sry for the generalization)

Blog assignment

yesterday I went to my girlfriend's house to eat thanksgiving dinner with her family. After we ate dinner, all the kids went downstairs and took turns playing call of duty. But her cousin had no interest in playing so she just sat and watched and talked to people with the headset. Since you can't hear what the other people are saying when someone has the headset on it was like listening to a one sided conversation, and you had to guess what the other person was saying by looking at her facial expressions and what she responded with. Since gamers don't like to listen to college girls cocking off to them with the headset they were being really rude to her, I could tell because she kept laughing really hard and saying "don't say that" and putting her hands over her mouth. Eventually the other people just stopped talking to her because she was annoying them soo much, but it was fun while it lasted.

You Might be a Redneck if....

You eat Thanksgiving Dinner off of paper plates. Haha just kidding my family eats off paper plates for every single meal in the world (even thanksgiving) and I'm pretty proud of it. It means no washing dishes. But thats not the point of this post. I'm just simply writing about Thanksgiving in general and the holiday season. Its definitely my favorite time of the year. And honestly how can anyone not like it, I can understand not liking Christmas music because I'm not a huge fan myself. But every other aspect of the holiday season is awesome. For Thanksgiving most families have at least two HUGE meals, one with each side of the family. Some families even have more, and those are the families that I'm seriously jealous of. Then when Christmas comes around most families once again get together to have a huge supper and then afterwards its time for presents. And everyone loves getting new things that they can play with. Then like 6 days after Christmas its New Years Eve, one of the biggest party nights of the year next to Halloween and someone's 21st birthday. I can't wait, I can already taste all of the good food and feel myself getting full. It's gonna be awesome. Happy Holidays.

Public Writing Reverse Argument

I agree with the Fort Wayne smoking ban because it has gotten rid of smoke from public places. Now when everyone goes out they can breathe clean air and not have to worry about damaging their lungs from second hand smoke. Bar owners may fear that this is gonna hurt business but I think it will help because now the people who didn't want to come to the bars before because of the smoke will finally come and have a good time. If the smokers want to continue smoking then they can go outside and smoke and the then come back inside. Its everyone's right to be able to breathe clean air and they shouldn't have to put up with smokers polluting the air in the places they go to have a good time. So way to go Fort Wayne City Council, keep up the good work.

• I have used this when I write my papers by using the internet to get information and then sometimes asking someone who might know a little bit about what I'm writing about.
• I've done this by making notes while I read so that I can understand what I read later on
• I have done this by making sure that before I write that my paper is formatted correctly
• I work on revising all of my works a little bit at a time so that by the end of the semester when its time for portfolios I'll have them all ready.
• I do this everytime we get into our peer review groups. We all work together on making each others papers better.

Undefeated

The Colts are now 8-0!!! This is how they started off their season the year that they won the Super Bowl. I'm so pumped for the rest of the season, and I would be sooo happy if they went again this year. I'm just kind of disappointed that I haven't been able to to watch as many games as I've wanted to. So I hope that for the rest of the season I can find time to watch some more games.
