ignorance is bliss

I think that people deal with issues in a variety of different ways that are suitable to themselves, and their standard of living. There are so many negative issues in our society now-a-days that if we were all morally responsible for dealing with every issue that came up, nobody would ever be able to live their own life. Along with the fact that everybody has their own sense of morality that may or may not be different from many others. If it were up to some we would all be vegetarians, never able to consume meats or fish products, and using paper as a means of documentation would be completely out of the question. People are becoming tolerant of negative situations as a means of blocking out the bad things that surround them, so that they can continue living their lives as they do. I am one of those people. Why live your life in anguish and hostility, when you can stroll through a fairytale?

blogs

Blogging can be irritating at times, but is a great innovation, especially in means of posting ones opinion in a big way, on the world-wide web. I think that the blog should mainly be used for reviews instead of open discussion. It should be used as a way of warning others of product imperfections, as well as positive feedback of certain items that deserve recognition. It should also be used as a way of telling people how to perform certain objectives on their computer and other things they may be having trouble with. I think getting marked for each blog individually is a great idea, because then one will receive positive or negative feedback on each of their individual posts, therefor informing them of what they are doing either correct or incorrect. Someone is deservant of a high mark depending upon quality of their posts. I think that when effort is visible in the fact that they have put an honest effort into their work, and provide a reasonable argument, that they should be given a mark that reflects their work.

movie review: lakai - fully flared

"Fully Flared" is a skateboard video made by Girl Productions for the skateboard shoe company Lakai. It features a variety of skateboarders such as Marc Johnson, Brandon Biebel, and the amature rider Mike Mo Capaldi. Including founders and creators Mike Carroll and Rick Howard, along with newly recruited Eric Koston who recently dropped his last shoe endorser es footwear. The slow and rather boring intro seems to do nothing but delay the video from beginning, using props and effects as a way of trying to make it interesting. It would have fulfilled its purpose if they hadn't made it so long and strenuous to take. Moments into the intro you find yourself awaiting the movie's start. This film is quite lengthy, with only half of the riders leaving a memorable impression, with the other half showing nothing of interest. The few parts of the movie that actually do draw your attention will leave you amazed, with high possibilities of you rewinding and re watching certain sections of the film. Surprisingly the amature rider Mike Mo Capaldi delivers one of the best parts on the entire video with his intricate trick combinations, and his 360 shove-its that he seems to have mastered. In conclusion this film is about 7/10 in terms of entertainment and being happy with your purchase.

super power

If I were to be given any super power possible I would have to choose the power of having the perfect immune system. If I were given the perfect immune system I would be given incredible strength, never age visibly, and be immune to getting sick, along with a variety of other possible strengths. I would be able to enter the Olympics and compete above the average person in almost every activity because my fitness level would be at its peak performance. Track&field would be a cinch since having the perfect immune system I would not be burdened with the fact of getting tired and running out of breath, along with there being no possibility of having my stomach cramp, allowing me to outrun my opponents.
