Children Of Men

Children of Men was a movie that focused on a possible post-apocalyptic future, where everybody on the planet has been made infertile. For reasons which I still don't fully understand, having everyone on the Earth become infertile caused the people to break out into massive wars. I would think that if the population was stricken with a crippling disease like that, they would band together and try to find a cure, not go to war to see how fast they could kill all of the final generation. Despite that small bit of confusion Children of Men was a good movie. The movie follows Theo and Kee as they try to get Kee, and her baby, to the mythical humanity project. despite the movies general feeling of depression, there is always the slightest feeling of hope in the background. the movie even has a semi-happy ending, so I would say that it is a movie worth watching.

Dragon Ball Fire Safety PSA

When I was little I used to watch a cartoon called Dragon Ball. It was a series about a kid named Son Goku, who basically went around getting into fights with everyone until he was one of the strongest fighters in the world. The other day while I was looking around on youtube I found this video. It is only one of two educational PSA's that Dragon Ball made. It was funny for me to see them take an adventure/action series and turn it into a serious message. They never made an English version so you have to read the subtitles, but if you can get past the subtitles it is pretty cheesy and fun to watch. Watching the PSA felt really nostalgic, it was like I was in my living room watching TOONAMI after a tough day of the third grade again. So I decided to do my rhetorical analysis on the Dragon Ball video.

Living On My Own

So now that I've been living on my own (not counting my dorm mates) for about three weeks now, and I'm beginning to notice the difference from living at home. The biggest change would be the amount of freedom I now have. Stay up as late as I want, and then sleep in all day (which isn't that smart of an idea if you want to pass your classes). Most of what happens is all on you now. You decide that you don't want to go to class and nobody will say anything. Everything in college is all up to you. You don't really ease get much warning about the changes until you're here. You're just thrown in and have to get used to it as fast as possible. After awhile you begin to ease into it. So college living isn't that bad once you get used to it.
