My Hot Topic

so the election for the next president of the united states of america is just days away and there are still several hot topics being discussed by both candidates. one topic that truly catches my attention is the touchy topic of abortion. should it or should it not be legal? the question has been asked so many times over it almost seems we will never have a definitive answer. I personally take the pro-life side of the debate. now this doesnt mean i damn all those who are pro-choice and dont give them a chance to pitch their arguments because to degree they make sense. my only problem is that i find that there are several alternative methods of dealing with an unwanted pregnancy. why take a potential life when you can easily put the baby up for adoption. the baby has to come out one way or another... why not breathing?

YO DR. THUNDER!!

throughout my life i have seen a lot of substitutes for brand name items. however nothing prepared me for what happened the other day. i was chillin at this concert right, and i decided that i was mad parched so naturally i went to the cooler of free drinks to quench my thirst. on this particular occasion i wanted to divulge into a delicious dr. pepper BUT THATS NOT WHAT I GOT! on first look everythings seemed to be normal and the can made that same beautiful sound as usual when being opened. but as soon as that liquid met with my lips i knew something was terribly wrong. immediately i looked down at the can which i thought to be a dr. pepper but to my unfortunate surprise it was a F***ING DR. THUNDER! what the hell is that shit?!?! not even mr. pibb but dr. thunder... i was sooo pissed. but in the end i sucked it up and drank the shit cuz after all it was still a free drink.

Usage of sources

throughout high school teachers strongly emphasized the importance of having a wide variety of sources. often times they would have a requirement of a certain number of sources just so you can learn to get several views about the same subject. also we were told countless times about the importance of giving credit where credit is due. citing sources is an absolute staple when writing any type of paper that involves research and in high school if we neglected to cite our sources we either got zeros or even suspended. all in all its been taught that you just need a good amount of sources and to give credit to those sources.

that one thing i just cant get about synthesis essays

on the real i dont understand how to write a thesis for a synthesis essay. not only are there several sources involved which discuss different points on a subject but there is also no personal opinion allowed throughout the essay.

what i "like" about summaries

there are a multitude of things that i like about writing summaries. for example when im done writing the summary it makes me very happy, or when the reading material is at a 3rd grade level, that also gets me excited... but seriously im not really sure what i like about summaries other than they are straight forward. theyre often very easy to write due to the fact that you dont have think on your own. unfortunately i am a very analytical individual and like to give my point on issues and that is not respected in the summary realm. so yea summaries are okay but probably better suited for other people.

MIAMI DOLPHINS: THE GREATEST FOOTBALL TEAM!

The time has come and all the anticipation has come to an abrupt hault. thats right football season finally began this past weekend and what a week one it was. but let me take time to talk about the most important issue of week one. no not the desicion of "lights out" merriman to undergo season ending knee surgery and no not even the devestating season ending knee injury suffered by tom brady. no the most important issue is definitely how well the MIAMI DOLPHINS played in their undeserving loss to the stupid-ass new york jets.

With over 250 passing yards, 2 tds, and over a 60% completion percentage chad pennington seems to have finally brought stability to the qb position in Miami. THANK THE LORD!!! his above average play on the gridiron has brought new hope to at least this dolfan and i cant wait for what else he has in store for us this season.

the dolphins defense was also relatively impressive, containing Favre for the most part except for a couple coverage blunders that resulted in two jet touchdowns. overall the play was good and we can expect the week one kinks to be fixed throughout the season.

yes this is a rebuilding year and yes we all expect to see more losses than wins but i have a strong hunch that the dolphins are gonna spoil some teams sundays this year and prove to the NFL community they are not as bad as last years record may reflect.

Labor Day Memories

So i suppose my labor day weekend was alright. it was pretty chill with a few crazy moments here and there but those should prolly be left untold. Anywho i met some new folks around the block and we rocked out with are roosters out. not gonna lie almost got arrested three or four times but you kno what they say "almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades!"

Fortunately i think this labor day weekend is only the start of a very beautiful relationship between me and my new found home at fgcu. just wait till a major holiday, then well definitely have something to talk about!
