The culture crawl......
At first i was not at all excited about the culture crawl because the night before i had been at my first fraternity party and was very sleepy. I showed up and was very hungry i am not going to lie the breakfast was a little disapointing but hey it was free so cant complain very much. I sat down beside ronnie and stephanie two people i had not talked to very much since we began the class. we began to talk and i enjoyed talking to them. we then went into the music hall to hear some music. I really enjoyed the music despite my feelings before we went into the room. The guy that made his own song was good but it woulda been better if he woulda had a better sound system. We then began to walk i was not happy about this we then went to the backdoor playhouse then went downtown. I enjoyed this because i didnt know that was even there. Ronnie and stephanie and bonded some more as we walked. The next few things we did was kind of a blur because i was so hungry. I was very excited about eating japanese. we then had free time to do as we wanted The three of us went it to some girly store stephanie wanted to go in. we then went to a guitar store that Ronnie wanted to go into which was pretty cool. the best part was yet to come it was the japanese.They had amazing food it was sushi i love sushi. I ate so many things of sushi and even took a to go plate back with me but it didnt make it back to room though i ate it all before it got there lol The day was a great success free food good music and i made to good friends that i enjoyed my day with . I give the culture crawl a 7 on a scale of one to ten it was a fun day.

prewriting..... kinda
number one........ I jus went to the keith urban concert last week and i befor the concert i kinda liked keith urban. we got to the concert and our seats were on the floor level which was awesome. the opening act was this lady band named sugarland they were awesome. she really have a good voice. then out came keith urban he sang many songs on stage an then he took a short breAK and so i went to the bathroom and came back and heard somebody talking about him. so we sat back down he comes back out and starts to sing and walk towards my area and he walked right by me and my girlfriend an we touched him. then he sang the concert three feet away from us the rest of the night all i could say was awesome.
number two....... I have always loved to dance and always respected micheal jackson for his danceing ability and alewasy wish i could do wat he did. I always watched him growing up and jus thought maybe i could dance like that one day. but i never really practiced dancing like that. then came july the fourth and my micheal jackson died this broke my heart because i always liked him growing up. So i started to listen to all his music. and got really family with his songs my favorite song since i have been listening to his songs is smooth criminal. Also i have started practicing the moon walk and are getting decent at it. so iguess his death kind shaped me to like pop culture more.
number three........ this one deals with an actor denzel washington. he is one of the best actors in movies today my favorite movie he was in was remember the titans i love that movie its one of my favorite movies of all time along with rocky and rambo movies. but back to the story i watched this movie and loved and so then i started to watch movies with denzel in them i realized that every movie denzel was in was going to be a good movei the most recent denzel movie i have enjoyed was the movie deja vue its a great movie and i enjoyed the whole movie and encourage any one who likes a good movie to watch this movie

my feelings on the readings
I read all of the readings but the one that stood out to me at was the memior about the tomkeys. This reminds of me when i was a little kid so curious and nosey. This story was also very interesting it jus kept my attention more than the others. Maybe the writing was better or maybe i identified with this story better than the others. It reminds me of myself when i was younger always wondering why people did things or why they didnt have this or that. This story brought back a memior of my own as a young child. I always remember i had this neighbor who loved his two cats roger and hamerstein. I didnt really understand the names until i got older but thats beside the point. His name was mr. Jacobs and he did the weirdest things with his cats. He spent most of his playing with his cats and the weirdest thing he did was walk his cats. I always thought this was so weird. I would ask mom why does he do that i thought you were supposed to walk dogs not cats and she would always say jus mind your bussiness. I could never do that though. I always caught myself watching him. One day i was watching for him and he didnt come outside i said mom were is mr. Jacobs she said he has went to be with the lord. I said o no wat about his cats she said his family is trying to find a home for them. So i said lets keep them she thought about it and then said yes and to this very day we still have roger and hammerstein. Sometimes i will occasionally walk them when i come home, jus so they dont forget mr. jacobs.

personality test
I have just finished taking my personality test and i have learned a lot i learned that i was an ENFJ. I figured this is wat i would be. The test that blew my mind was the test about my politcal views. i learned that i was more authoritarian. That wasnt the part that shocked me. The part that shocked me was i learned that i am very politically close to the communist leader stallin. He was not a very good man and i dont understand how i could have the same political values as him. I am a very conservative christian and he was a power hungry leader. This does not make sense to me at all.
The first test told me that i was empathetic,responsive, and responsible all things that i strive to be i may not be these things all the time but those are the things i hope people remember me by. The test also said i was highly tuned to emotions,needs and motivations of others. This makes sense to me because my dad is very good at doing those things he can always tell when something is wrong no matter how good i hide it. The test then said i was loyal i also really strive to do that when workin on a job or something.
Im glad i took both of these test i really learned a lot about my self and i encourage anyone who is bored and curious about themselves to really consider taking this test its really fun to learn about yourself

I don't have a very in depth background in writing. i am a very slow typer hence i do not type very much. The reason i have never really been good at typing is because my dad is a very cheap man and we lived out in the country so we never had Internet at home until last year and when we did get it we got a very slow dial up so i never really wanted to get on an use the Internet seeing how this is my first blog.
Although i didn't have Internet until last year i did just recently get a face book i do enjoy commenting on that. That is one of my biggest things i type on. I also have written many papers in high school. I usually don't enjoy writing but if its something i enjoy i don't mind writing about it. i am enjoying writing this blog right because i am kind of getting to talk about what i want so its not to bad.
When writing many things have to be thought about such as purpose,audience, genre,stance and media/design. When blogging or writing in general you have to have a purpose. Like for example my purpose right now for blogging is its my assignment for my English 1010 class. If you don't have a purpose its really hard to write effectively and for people to know what your writing about so they can read it. Another thing that goes into your thought process when writing is the audience your writing to. By identifying your audience you know things you can and cant say. For example if i was writing a mass email to a bunch of my friends who love the vols i would not talk about how bad they are because then they would get mad and not listen to the rest of my email.Genre is another thing to think about is the genre your writing in. This allows your readers to know and search for the type of genre they want to read. Your stance also matters, your stance is how you feel about a certain thing an example would be my stance on abortion my stance on that is i don't agree with it.The last thing that a writer must think about is media is the way and devices we use to communicate such as the Internet and music.
The Rhetorical situation are the seven things talked about above in my very long paragraph . When i write i always think about those seven things. Without those things no one can write effectively. So it is now over i have written my very first blog i kinda enjoyed it and i am ready for class tomorrow.
