Baseball

I am very excited around this time, because baseball officially starts tomorrow! I am really excited to get after it and get started with the guys. We were picked to finish 9th in the conference and our team is not too happy about it, but it's okay it will just give us more to prove. I hope the weather is very nice and not cold, because baseball is much more fun when its warm. It is very weird not playing football or basketball anymore, but I'm really enjoying focusing just on baseball. I will never get tired of baseball, I love playing and watching baseball.

Ad's

The first advertisement about iPhone is intended for the audience of all potential iPhone customers to persuade them that iPhone is the best cell phone. For example, at the end the ad says "If it's not an iPhone, then it's not an iPhone." This is toward people who do not use iPhone.

The second advertisement about the Samsung Smart TV is intended all audiences, maybe more so men. The use of an attractive female in an advertisement is a classic way to gain an audiences attention, especially men. The comedy in the commercial is what will draw in all audiences.

The third advertisement about Mercedes draws in on all audiences. The commercial really grabs your attention when you see a young child sneaking out of the house and wondering around the city. Anyone with a family would really be drawn to this commercial, because they will imagine their child doing that.

We should be critical of intended audience, because we should be aware of what information something is trying to get out and who that information is directed toward. Along with this, we have to be aware of all people and that nothing said in advertisements will offend anyone.

Google Drive

I am going write a little bit about one of the great inventions, I personally have experienced. Google Drive, this technology is breakthrough and is an absolute life saver when it comes to school. For example, I spilled water on my laptop awhile back and now it messes up and it shuts off occasionally. Thankfully, my beautiful Google Drive will save all my work no matter what. Another great feature of the Drive is the ability to share all your work. Hypothetically, if I wanted to cheat on homework, I would just have someone click share and boom, my homework is done. However, I do not personally condone cheating. In all seriousness, Google Drive is an excellent educational tool and I feel it should be implemented into all schools.

Kickball is Life

As a young child, I loved sports, any kind of sport like; baseball,basketball, wiffle ball, kickball, etc.
This particular childhood memory is going to focus on kickball and I would not say it is my proudest moment. As a child, my grandma would babysit myself, my brother Ryan, and my cousins Becca and Tyler. This particular day my mom did not have to work, so my grandma brought Becca and Tyler over to our house, so we could play our favorite game, kickball. Now, our kickball games were always pretty competitive, so much so, that my mom would always have to give me and Ryan a talk about how it was just a fun game and not to get too competitive. This particular day was a great day for kickball, not a lot of wind and around 70 degrees, so I was ready to go. I was having a great game, in my first three kicks I recorded 2 home runs and a double. They would try to throw the ball at me, but I was dodging it left and right, they could not get me out. Then the drama happened, it was the top of the 6th inning, Tyler and I were up 2 runs with no outs. Ryan kicked a looping line drive just over my head, I turned to run after it and laid out and made a Sports Center Top 10 catch on the ball and I was so pumped, I was fist pumping, and Tyler gave me a chest bump and then it happened. My grandma was all time pitcher and umpire, bless her heart, but she made some calls I did not agree with back then. Grams calls that the ball hit the ground and Ryan was safe at first, and then it started, I was fuming, I threw the ball on the ground and started pleading my case, but Grams was not having any of it. Early in that day, I was watching sports highlights and I saw a video of a baseball coach getting thrown out of the game for kicking dirt on the umpire's shoes, now I didn't have any dirt, so I decided to improvise. I reached down, grabbed a chunk of grass and hurled it at my grandma, now luckily none of it hit her, but my mom was furious, she sent me inside and let me hear it. Later that day, I found out the Tyler and I ended up losing the game, because of my getting tossed from the game. Thankfully, my grandma forgave me just like she always does, and I learned the lesson to never throw grass at your grandma during a kickball game, because you will get tossed.    

I was not sure what I want to free write about, so I'm just going to talk about something impressive about me. Something that is very important to me is PlayStation. I am pretty talented in PlayStation, especially Madden. I know this, because my friends and I play multiplayer seasons all the time and we have completed three seasons, of which I have won the Super Bowl in all three. Now I am not one to brag, but three Super Bowls is an impressive feat, it is almost unheard of for a team to win back to back Super Bowls, but my team won three, it's unbelievable. We are in the midst of our fourth season right now and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want this fourth Super Bowl. If I somehow pull out this fourth championship, it would really solidify me as an all time great. Along with this, it would be great publicity for Defiance College to have a 4-time Super Bowl champ attend school here. I am going to win this one not just for my own greatness, but I am going to win it for all of Yellow Jacket nation.  

My Night in Jail

I looked around after waking from a deep sleep and had no recollection of how I ended up in the smelly, old, worn down jail cell. The holding cell was big, it was filled with just me and a few other men, some of who looked like they had been here before. I scanned the cell looking for a familiar face and I saw a man who looked familiar, but I was not sure where I had seen him. My jeans were rattling, so I began to feel around in my pockets. First, I pulled out this crinkled up bracelet, which appeared to be from a bar, which triggered my memory that I was going out with my buddy Tyler that night to some bars. Following this, I took my cell phone out of my pocket and saw it was locked out for 3 hours and had some fresh cracks in it. I then pulled out a tube of slightly used cake batter chapstick, which made sense, because I never go anywhere without chapstick. Following this, I found a crinkled up napkin with a sloppily written phone number on it, this reminded me that I had meant a really cute girl that I hit it off with. Lastly, I found a wadded up tissue that was covered in fresh blood, after seeing this I began to feel around on my face and found this big bandage above my eye, that was covering a gash in my eyebrow. After seeing this it all came together, I remember I was in a bar flirting with that girl and she neglected to tell me she had a boyfriend, and he was there. The boyfriend came up to me and started swinging, which began the bar fight, all I remember is getting a few good punches in and then it all goes black. Finally, I call my buddy Tyler and ask him what happened, to which he responds with "duuuuuuuude that dude beat the crap out of you, like I don't think you hit him once bro" and thats how I ended up in jail, a bar fight.
