The Great Gatsby Movie

As you all know, Mr. Anderson was nice enough to let us skip reading The Great Gatsby and let us go right to the fun stuff: the movie!!(Thanks Mr. Anderson!) At first I liked this movie because it was light-hearted and gave us a good sense of what the roaring twenties were really like with the flappers, prohibition, etc. It was funny how Daisy acted so dumb and clueless. I would have to say that the best scene of the whole movie was when… Continue

90's

Ahhhhhh... I remember those good old years back in the 90's. Back in the 90's i remember life just being so easy. Like not worrying about school, or studying, or just anything like that. I miss those days. Man I wish I could go back in time and relive the best years of my life so far in the 90's. Back than i remember on a hot summer day just going outside into the clean air. Man I miss those days. Am I not the only one? Does anyone else miss these days?

Also in the 90's I miss…

I Shall Grant You 3 Wishes!!

" 'If you were granted three wishes, what would you wish for?' That was asked in a TV anime. I'm pretty sure many of you ahve thought about is before, and I was one of them. I would think about it everyday when I was a kid. Did I want to become the richest man ever? Did I want to go out with the cutest girlfriend ever? Did I want to ask for 100 more wishes? I couldn't come up with a decison. Now that I'm older, I gave myself another chance to think.…

Anxiety

When we had a big storm on Monday morning I was sitting in class and freaking out. I have a huge anxiety of tornadoes. Which obviously comes with storms. I've learned how to control my fear and rationalize. Some people make fun of me for how scared I am or tornadoes. But that is my only fear. And I bet those people and everyone else has something that they are truly afraid of. Even the guys who answer "I'm afraid of nothing." Yeah, that is a lie.…

4th Quarter Blog Post, +100 points!

So what will schools and technology be like in the future? Well something that is different indeed is what if school was like a video game? Every assignment was worth xp, you had to make a guild of people in your class to conquer quests (group projects). Gaming is influencing so much around us because it motivates people to do something interesting and fun rather than boring and dull. But just think about the reality of that scenario of school being like a video game. I know I…

iPods, iPads, iTouch, iAM starting to lose track.

Next time you walk to from one class to another, count how many people have headphones in their ears. Last time I tried this I counted sixteen people with the white ear buds in their ears; I was one of them. This got me thinking, how bad is it to have constant music blasting in your ears for an extended period of time? Never before in history has this question come up, because never before have so many people had the ability to listen to music everywhere…

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
