My topic from last essay would have worked better this time then the last, then I wouldn't have had to change so much about it...So topics...

Things in my room that I see...Clothes, shoes, books, tv...Difference between types of TVs. That could work because even though 720i and 1080p may look a lot a like in quality, a progressive scan has double the picture as an interlaced, which is the i in 720i.

I really don't want to do something with electronics though so I don't know about the TV idea. Coke and Pepsi, they look the exact same, without the can though, but I guess there are some differences that people can tell in them.

I like the idea of Coke and Pepsi, but I don't know if there is enough to write about with them.

My essay does kinda become a compare and contrast, but if this was about juices their would be an orange and an apple and no others so it gets really hard not to compare my orange to the apple without having it seem like its a compare and contrast. Maybe there is some foreign drink that I don't know about, but from personal experience I have never tasted any other juice.

Going home for the weekend I basically had to think about what I was going to write for, because my computer was left here and my mom doesn't have hers yet, so I couldn't really blog. I got back late so I was busy doing other stuff, writing my paper. I finished what was left of it earlier today when I remember that I had to blog. I decided to go with PCs and why they are better than any other computers with my thesis being...Microsoft’s PC is far superior to any other computer in the world.

I only saw the comment about the paper not supposed to being a compare and contrast after I had wrote most of mine, but I will try and switch things up in the next draft.

I am not totally sure on what I'm going to write about, its either pcs are superior to macs or halo is an unskilled game. I'm going to think about it over the weekend since I'm going home. I have a long drive home so I plan on deciding then. But for either one there is so much stuff to go against each other and it ends up in an endless argument that always tends to happen with electronics and stuff involving computers/consoles. I'll explain more about what ever topic I'm going to write about in my next blog. So as of now I'm undecided between the two.

Hey Low

The things I know a lot about in life are video games and computers. There are many topics you can do with a video game, which game is better, what console is better... and so on. But with computers there is one that stands out way above the rest, PC vs MAC. Everyone knows about the feud of the companies and all of the ads on TV. I have used a PC my whole life and just started to use Macs here at campus. I find Macs to be a pain, they are supposed to be good for editing programs and stuff but I find not having a right click utterly "pointless." It makes you always having your finger on you keyboard when your other is trying to get a soda and you have to drop it because your mac doesn't let you right click. Besides editing there are two other things to do on a computer, finding information for documents using the world wide web or playing games. The PC outshines the Mac by a whopper load on the games and in my opinion using the internet. But with all of this stuff on PC and Macs I think I would still rather do my Essay on a video game for the xbox 360. That is Halo. Halo is by far one of the funnest game series of all time, no doubt. But with its newest release Halo 3 the game has become a noob colony. It takes five days to get good at the game, you just have to go around looking for a rocket launcher or hope to god you get host or else your screwed. Auto aim, though better than halo 2, is still shalpskie. You just have to let your controller do the work for you and you win. When you get to higher levels though competion gets harder and thats where it gets fun, but all that fun gets replaced with anger when a seven year old tbags you after dying. Which in turn cause yelling and high pitch ringing. Finally when it comes down to actual gameplay, you can never rely on the game, you could snipe a guy dead on in the face and it will count as a miss, then you watch the film of how you die in theatre mode and you see the scrub shooting a bullet off three walls and doesn't even hit you and you still die. Even though I love halo the little things about it piss me off so bad, thats why I stick to Call of Duty 4 nowdays.

a Sign Mint

For this assignment I am supposed to reflect on my essay on learn from it. I kinda did my essay different. I didn't have a real life story line so it was not an actual experience that I personal had, but one I had in my mind while playing a game. I had moments of my actual self playing the game, and doing some other things. I liked the outcome of mine, it was just a non shalont(?), can't even find a word that makes it work, but it was kinda just a moment in life that I wrote about, nothing really excited, but its what I like to do in life. I also wrote it 5 pages long without realizing it was a 2 to 3 page paper. I had to size it down a lot...a lot. It lost a lot of important details about the game story, but it wasn't even about the game, more about the experience. Thats all for now, see you next time on...my blog.

Essay in ten sentences.

I wake up from the soft voice of a women. She tells me that I'm a test subject, but I don't know what for, or for where and why. I come about a device that creates portals, the ones you walk through and go to another place, those ones. Finding my way through various, increasingly harder puzzles. My every move is being watched, I can shoot the cameras with my portal device, but then she tells me that it will disrupt my training exercises. For hours I've been "playing" but no nothing of what I'm doing. She tells me at the end there is cake, I love cake. In areas with no cameras I've been finding wall writings, past subjects, telling of the experience in here. They tell me I will not live, then I break free, she says there is cake. I find her in here lair, shes a machine, run by people whom I will never know. I defeat the monster and escape the prison. With a long stretch I push away from my desk, there was no knock on the door, no interruptions, it was me enjoying time with a video game.

I don't really know any events in my life worth writing a paper about but I guess I should blog and figure something out. I've been to Montana a few times for hiking trips with friends that had some funny moments. There is basketball stories, football, youth rallies... Injuries might be good to do.
