Journal 3: My Man, Edward

As I stop to think about my favorite movie, Tim Burton comes to my mind as he always does. Maybe it is the Halloween spirit, but this time when I decide which of the movies that Tim Burton produced is my favorite nothing but Edward Scissorhands comes to mind . Edward Scissorhands is a movie about an experiment that came to life; this experiment, played by Johnny Depp, is complete with a heart but has sharp objects for fingers. When Edward, the experiment, finally ventures outside, he goes through numerous different trials where he experiences happiness, sadness, friends, loneliness, and love. He in the end returns to his home alone because that was no other way for him to stay safe.

Journal 2: Michonne's Katana Skills

Michonne in The Walking Dead

(http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/10/10/walking-dead-glen-mazzara/twd_gp_301_0507_0278/)

The Walking Dead is a popular series featured on AMC where Danai Gurira has a leading role.  In the post "Walking Dead: Michonne actress Danai Gurira talks katana skills" writer Gina McIntyre briefly describes talks about Danai's past experience with sword fighting, and how she has come to have such natural skills in her fighting techniques. 

This article by Gina McIntyre was insightful on the well loved character Michonne from The Walking Dead. I found it interesting and encouraging that the actress has put so much work into her katana skills in order for that to be swift and natural looking for the TV series. However, I do wish that more actors and actresses would put forward that much effort.

Better Than Sex Cake

Better Than Sex Cake is the most amazing cake that has ever touched my lips.  There is not a human on earth that I would wish apon them that they would never sample this experience.  I would like to decreace the number of people living life without ever tasting Better Than Sex Cake by sharing with you how you can easily creat this astronomical desert.



To make Better Than Sex Cake there is always a trip to the grocery store trip needed before starting dur to the variety of needed ingredients.  Once all ingredients have been gathered, you must follow the directions very carefully.  The first step is to prepare and bake the cake; once the cake is done cooking, you poke large holes into it with the end of awooden spoon or other small and long circular ended object.  Warm the jar of carmel in the microwave being careful that it does not bubble too high; pour the melted carmel onto the cake fully soaking it into the holes.  Chill the cake in the fridge until the cake is a bit chilly.  Remove the cake from the fridge and speard whipped cream onto the top and sprinkle crushed heath bard onto the top. Enjoy! ;)

Journal 1: Maraniss's Argument

[http://www.kupax.com/pfiles/1571/Green-Bay-Packers.png]

 

David Maraniss's argument titled "Winning Actually isn't the Only Thing" was inspiring in the way that he did not put down the refs that made the bad call, but instead focused his anger on the ones who are pretending that it was a good call.  Through his writing, David expressed dissaproval towards Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. In the end, David relized that he was more at ease that is that Seattle that won then if the Packers would have won due to a bad call.
 

I strongly agree with David Maraniss's view point of the Seattle-Packer game. I would not have felt proud of my Packers if they had won by default. The tight game was an enjoyment to watch and will only drive my boys to keep working, training, and playing harder. Sometimes a loss here and there is a good thing for a person or team. I am dissapointed yes, but look forward to the next game.
