Road to the Show

As one can tell from my recent blog post, I very much enjoy video games, especially sports games. Recently, my buddies just got MLB16:The Show, the Show series is my favorite video game series of all time. I like it, because it is about the best sport ever, baseball, and I am pretty good at the game. However, I have beef with the game right now. The game has a game mode called Road to the Show, in this mode you create your own player and try to work him through the minor leagues to the big leagues. I started mine and created myself, this game mode is sweet, you can make your player look however you want, I gave my guy some saucy flow and sweet cleats. Anyways, I get drafted in the 1st round, 15th pick and then begin my season. I start off the season on a terror and at the all-star break I'm hitting .505. with 51 bombs and 135 RBI's. I know what you are thinking "well, whats the problem, Michael?" Well let me tell you what the dang problem is, I'm still in double A! I don't know what a guy has to do to get called up, but I sure as heck can't do much more than I am. Anyways, this game is really sweet and will accept any willing challengers.

Greys Anatomy

I have been watching Grey's Anatomy lately and all I can say is WOW. First of all, I guess it is a "girly" show, but whatever I don't care. I am at the beginning of Season 9, which means I just saw the plane crash. The plane crash rocked my world when my two favorite characters die, because of it. Lexi Grey, Meredith's sister gets smashed under parts of the plane and eventually dies, breaking my heart. I was in love with Lexi, she was my favorite girl character on the show. Following this it got even worse, Mark Sloan died of chest bleeding or something along those lines, I was too upset to even listen. Mark Sloan was my favorite character on the show, he was just a stud, all the ladies wanted him and he was a good guy. So as you can tell, Grey's Anatomy really slapped me in the face the past few episodes. I had to take a break from watching it, because I need time to get over Mark and Lexi's deaths.

Week 13

1. Turn My Swag On-Soulja Boy. This song represents me, because Soulja boy is the man and when listening to this song, I just feel sweet.

2. It Wasn't Me-Shaggy. I picked this one, because it is a very funny song, not because I cheat on my girlfriend. It shows that I like to goof around and have fun.

3. Batter Up-Mike Stud. I like this song, because it is by my favorite artist and it is about my favorite sport, baseball.

4. It Goes Down in the DM-Yo Gotti. I picked this one, because it shows that I am pretty addicted to my twitter and cell phone in general.

 5. Mind Reader-Dustin Lynch. I picked this one, because it shows I like a lot of different types of songs, rather than just all rap type songs.

6. Love Yourself- J Biebs. I picked this one, because this song is exactly how I feel about people that act this way. The should go and "love" themselves.

7. Watching You- Rodney Atkins. I picked this one, because ever since I was little, I have been looking up to my Dad and brother. Those two have really helped make me into who I am today.

8. Meet My Mom- New Boyz. I picked this one, because if I really want to date a girl, she will meet my mom. If my mom doesn't approve, then shes gone...My grandma has to approve too.

9. Boys of Fall-Kenny Chesney. I picked this one, because it is a very emotional song. High School football was some of the best times of my life, I will never forget all the memories. Actually, it is very hard for me to listen to this song without wanting to cry.

10. Any song with a dance to it. If you know me, you know I love dancing, maybe a little too much. My dance of choice is crank that by Soulja boy, but don't sleep on my whip and nae nae. I think this just shows I am not a very serious person at all, I love to joke around and have fun.

Week 12

1. I want to learn how to communicate with all different types of people. I want to learn this skill, because I believe it is a necessary skill to have in the future especially in the work force.  It is necessary to be able to communicate with people without offending them.

2. I want to learn how write professionally. In the future, a person must be able to write professionally in order to establish creditability for themselves.

3. I want to learn how to defend my beliefs. I want to learn this skill and along with this, I want to learn how to properly listen to other people's beliefs.

4. I want to learn how to properly manage time. I feel time management is a skill everyone needs to have, because it will make their life more organized and relax them and allow them to maximize their time.

5. I want to develop more as a complete person. I want to learn about things I normally would not learn about. I want to get out of my comfort zone and explore things that I normally would not. 

Hitchcock's Style

After reading through the group blog posts and comparing them, I have concluded that Hitchcock's style was kind of before his time. He put scenes and other things in his films that were considered risky or inappropriate. For example, He showed women getting very drunk and acting what would be considered inappropriate. Along with this, he used many different camera angles and filming techniques that had not been seen before. He also found ways around certain rules of filming. For example, a kiss could only be 3 seconds in films at that time, but Hitchcock broke it up by switching camera focuses. Overall, Hitchcock was the beginning of a new type of filmmaker and opened up many doors for future filmmakers.
