Late night... blog time!

Nanotext… someone who created much thought, laughter, you name it… just scroll through his wall! It would probably take me quite some time to accomplish such a feat but if time permits one might decide to reads this wall and actually feel as if they know this person. What nanotext created was great I see nanotext’s so called death more of what I would like to call a metamorphis of sorts like a caterpillar to a butterfly… There are a myriad of reasons behind this switch to alias’s one being spontaneity, who saw that one coming ? Many have already grown attached to this awesome character and I can’t blame them, I which I could take more classes like this, I actually learn when I am enjoying something and that’s what a lot of teachers are lacking these days, they don’t show interest in student learning and comprehension, he doesn’t just show them one path, he gives them infinite amounts of choices, leaving it up to the student to learn, he is simply the tour guide pointing out the highlights. Reading the title of this class I was completely confused and interested at the same time simply because of the final, TRhis class satisfied one of my GUR’s and had room available I was sold, After the first and second day of class I was completely sold. I now realize why Tony Prichard possess’s so many previous students, at times its hard to follow their thinking when they have past references that some of us “newbies” aren’t as familiar with, but that’s life and you have to learn somewhere! This class actually gives me inspirtation in my studies and I have never done so much un-convential reading in my life, and I love it, I just wish I had more hours in a day and had no other priorities so I could read books that people suggest. That would be a great hobby. Back to the metamorphosis of our author, he narrates our book that we are all writing, the book begins with time and dates on the great wall of plurk and then rides the wonderful new technology wave called googlewave. This class has changed the dynamics of the classroom in so many ways and this allows for more creation, thought, experiments etc to occur. It is like a reproducing parasite of knowledge, bullshit, etc etc etc.

I feel as if this class will inevitably end up as the preface to The Vampire Lectures, stemming from a 50 person class to 600+ How would you guide the thought process there? Its hard enough to get a group involved in the learning process, especially while in class, when most of the time you are unfamiliar with the person. The_author’s methods have completely changed my outlook in the world where many others have not. I feel as if I know people in my classroom or students who are also taking the class, their “true” personality somehow shows whether it is fake or real. The_author has employed what everyone knows as a “community” or as some like to call it “church” both connotations suit the title very well in my humble opinion J. This community draws not upon one simple source, our topics we discuss are not as simple as one plus two equals three. We can create great things and are a smelting pot of grew ideas, I think an awesome Idea for a class would be to spend the entire quarter creating something, it would have to be done in groups that you would arrange or as a whole and you could see what comes about , maybe don’t ask for much, people like to over achieve for the most part anyways, especially when it comes to competition, who doesn’t love competition . We have realized the feeling of competition our entire lives, Men fight wars for land, such a boast of power. We are controlled by these fat cats on wall street who put us into this stupid economic crisis, I am not economist here but seriously, If we didn’t have to rely on whats known as a dollar we wouldn’t have to worry about what these people do.

Everyone is a criminal, but where is the line in the sand drawn? I break the speed limit every single day, I am still a safe and aware individual, riding a motorcycle causes you to notice completely everything about your surroundings, or else you are sliding on pavement, very unforgiving. Anyways I break the speed limit but I don’t consider myself to be a criminal, Criminals are those who wish to do harm unto others and these type of individuals drive me completely crazy, I have always wanted to be some sort of cop/detective/marshall/sheriff/investigator you name it. If it involved solving crimes committed by bad inviduals I want to find some evidence and convict this person if guilty. Long have I thought about joining the armed forces, or a FBI agent CIA, you know something real legitimate J They will find me if they need me, My grandmother died of breast cancer at a very young age, I have very very few memories with her, plenty of pictures of my beautiful grandma, she reminds me completely of my mother and her two sister, both of which are the coolest family I could ever ask for, Oh and they also have a brother, who is even more of a very very close relative. My father’s side of the family is massive I probably have around 12 cousins or so on my father’s side. My grand parents mean a lot to me as well, this last spring when applying for western my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer… great. I was terrified about losing another one of the most important people in my life.

Cancer… It kills, causes pain and is completely evil. Carcinogens are known as “cancer causing compounds” I believe, don’t quote me on this, but they can obviously be very harmful to you. I believe, once again don’t quote me on this,( I don’t have internet right now my brother is playing vids, So no google J)( Cancer happens when your DNA somehow becomes mutated. One morning traveling to school listening to the radio I heard claims that Johnson and Johnson baby shampoos used compounds that would synthesize new carcinogenic compounds… And we would put this on babies heads? The truth is we always receive radiation which causes mutation of the DNA, some of this can be prevented, such as using sunscreen. Back to cancer, The thing I wish to destroy and prevent the recreation of. It has killed one two many people in this world and I would love the chance to save more, this is one of the reasons I am majoring in chemistry, hoping this will help me someway get on that path to creating something or helping create a process or discovery otherwise in the field of medicine, cancer research disease etc. Cancer has already taken my ggrandmother, I don't want it to take yours as well, we all know we can do things to decrease these chances of getting certain types of cancer and I try and takje as many precautions as possible. Ugh... parasites!
