10 SSO (Second Sound Off): Favorite cartoon



My favorite cartoon character is Chowder from the Cartoon Network channel.


Chowder is my favorite character because he is hilarious, and he is highly random which makes him humorous and the crazy chef ideas they have on the show and what he tries to do with it make the show so entertaining to me. I love how the animation to the show is that the clothes the characters wear all have vivid colors as well as their clothes are animated with designs so it seems like their clothing is moving whenever they walk or move around the set.

10 SSO(Second Sound-Off)

Today is not a good day for me today as I am in a horrible mood today. I woke up feeling sore from baseball practice and all I wanted to do was sleep, At breakfast I felt worst and at the end of breakfast, it became clear that I wasn't going to have a good Thursday.However, I will try to do my best to make it a good day despite the circumstances that are making my day so horrible. Today, I plan to clip my Lovebirds wings and go practice some Baseball skills later today.

10 SSO (Second Sound-Off)

Today, I brought in this poster to show my fellow classmates the relation to our story we are reading, to kill a mockingbird. The relation to the story is that the simple discrimination in the story still stands today, showing that prejudice is still alive today. For example, we were discussing the fact of the all-white jury prosecuting Tom Robinson, a African-American on trial for the rape of a white woman. We discussed that in today's society, if a black man were to wear all blue, and same for a white man, 70% of the time the black man would be more likely to be attached to a gang over the white man. It is this that attaches to this photo, in which if you can see it or possibly look it up on the net, has somewhat prejudice(I'll stop short of saying Marvel is racist) and has only 8 black heroes compared to over 132 white characters. If you do the math that's nearly a 16:1 ratio(16 white characters to 1 black character) which is very strange.......in a polite manner....however this also points out to the book which had it been a white man who was accused of raping a black woman, all eyes would have been turned without a doubt. http://www.worldimages.com/KidsRoom_Boys_Superheroes.php for a closer picture to investigate for yourself

10 SSO (Second Sound-Off)

For our prompt we were asked "when you were younger,who did you want to be when you grow up?". well, I always have wanted to play soccer however, for a career I have always wanted to be a zookeeper or a sanctuary owner. I have always been fascinated with animals especially exotic animals and endangered animals in need of homes. In general, I wanted to be just like Steve Irwin and, wrestle reptiles and other animals in the world yet to be see or dreamed of in our childish lives. All of my life's aspirations was to be the best exotic animal rancher in the world and receive the world's biggest awards in animal conservation. I also wanted to win the Nobel peace prize in ethics by creating a symbiotic relationship between endangered animals and their human counterparts in the areas of conflict.

10 SSO (Second Sound Off)

For our class interactive prompt we had to answer the selected question. "What comment/phrase/saying annoys you the most?". My answer to that would be "whatever" because it seems that many people seem to say this all the time however my alltime disliked phrase would be the "Were done" from last year. I dislike this because everybody just started saying it and it became annoying with all the freshmen running around saying it 24/7 like it was the only thing that they could say. In other news in my life, I plan to stay on campus and hang out with my girlfriend this weekend and enjoy the weekend with her. I also plan to look into being a youth coach for soccer this summer thanks to my judge and my court appearance yesterday and hopefully my day goes well and hopefully so does yours too :)

A thru Z (original poem)

A- Is the antelope, running fast&free,

B- Is the bison, maybe in packs of three,

C- Always hides the cougar, wouldn't you agree?

D- Maybe a dog, resting about a tree,

E- See the ermine, dashing too and fro,

F- makes a fox bound, watch him as he goes!

I- creates an ibis, as beautiful as snow....

J- cries the jackal, as he laugh, giggles and fronts,

K- hops kangaroo, no dunce to the red sand sea,

L- lies the loris, a monkey as anyone can see

M- shadows the marmoset, a fine hunter of the bee

N- swims the narwhal, it's shining tooth, a hunter's prize

O- meanwhile an ocelot dies....

P- enslaves a parrot, forceful human parents bide it goodbye

Q- envisions a quail, slowly on it's demise..

R- roadrunner spirit lives on no longer alive....

S- Screeches the harp seal, crying for mother, far from being shy....

T- Tortoise claws back from extinction, refusal to humans goodbye

U- the universe was formed from the dye of all life

V- vulnerability of the animals, we exploit to fill our greedy needs

W- wales sing a symphony, a beautiful harmony

X- is the mark, placed next to the newly extinct being

Y- is the question asked,

Z- there no explanation, for the end of mother earth, so who are we to edge it on? To make it true or make it clear? we are takers over givers so let live what already lives and take nothing living we dont desperately need for the survival of all races,creeds,animals....our friends... indeed

Todayis not a good day for me......Exactly 6 months ago on August 5,2009 , me and my current girlfriend, Kristen Byford met and started going out. My plans for today were to go on pass with my mother and have her come over on saturday and take her to the movies and take her out to eat. Unfortunately, in my opinion, A teacher during third period was in a bad mood and because of it I was kicked out. I might have added to the problem by singing out aloud, or even comming in 3 minutes late but, immediately I was told that I wasn't welcome and that I "needed to leave" . I just followed the teachers instructions and left her classroom as asked, making it my first kick-out of my high school years. So today that means im on restriction which means I won't be able to go on pass, and whatever my girlfriend had planned for me today we can't do because i'll be stuck inside on restriction. My sis is getting me 500$ so I can go buy a ps3 and pay both Kristens and my own phonebill. Hopefully my day will get better but until then...my day is horrible.
