Newscast

Our Newscast project is going kind of slow. Kate and I laughed a lot, so it took an entire class period to say the whole script without laughing too much. It was fun though. We did our newscast about the election and the issues of the candidates. Hopefullky we'll get the Newscast turned in soon since it's past due, but it's pretty much done. We just have to put in more media. Right now we only have a picture of Barack Obama. It moves upward to this weird election music we found. It looks really cool though, so that's good. Overall, I don't think I'd be a good newscaster. I'm not a serious-enough person, so I'd start laughing or something.

Thanksgiving!!!

I have many things to be thankful for, and I often take them for granted. That's one of the reasons why Thanksgiving is such a great time of year. It makes us think about all of the gifts God has given to us that we often don't take the time to appreciate. The biggest things in my life that I am thankful for are my family, friends, and faith. Without my family I'd be lost, without my friends I'd be lonely/bored, and without my faith I wouldn't know God. These three aspects of my life are very important to me, and I couldn't live without them. Besides these, I am also extremely thankful that my family is financially stable enough to have the necessities in life, such as food and shelter, as well as some luxuries. Finally, I am thankful for the talents God has given me individually. There are many other things I am thankful for, but it would take a LONG time to list them all. So that's all for now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Invention

If I had to invent something, I would invent a tumbling machine. It would be flexible, but unbreakable. You would strap into it and program it to perform the trick you wanted. This way, you would feel what you're supposed to do, and your body would get the feel of the trick faster. Kids would be able to learn backflips much more easily, and maybe there would be less injuries also. I know how long it takes to learn new tricks in tumbling sometimes, so this invention would help me a lot. However, I don't think this invention would be possible to create. Otherwise, I'm sure someone would've made it already. Oh well. I'll just have to keep learning things the old-fashioned way.

I like this political cartoon because it's pointing out the fact that abortion is wrong, and the constitution applies to everyone. Life begins at the moment of conception, and by making abortion legal, the government has allowed for thousands and thousands of women to commit murder. I feel strongly about this issue, and I know that many Catholics, and moral people in general, feel the same way I do. I hope that in the near future, abortion will be made illegal, and all people will see how wrong it really is.

Inspirational

This picture is inspiring to me because it shows a beautiful rose living in the snow, when most flowers have died. Beauty always remains in some form, in all situations someone may encounter in life. It reminds me that when things may seem bad, there will be a bright side if I look hard enough. This picture also serves as a reminder to look around you as the days go by. Otherwise, if you just live life as it comes and never stop to look around you, something may be missed.

Podcast

I did my Podcast on The Ring. It's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen, and it has a really good story line. I also love the Sixth Sense, but I hadn't seen that in a while, so The Ring was fresher in my memory. When I recorded my Podcast the first time, it took me three tries before I got it right. Then, it didn't save, so I had to re-record it. That time I got it on the first try, so that was good. I put in a few sound effects too. I think the project was pretty easy overall. The talking part was more difficult than the computer aspect of it.
