What I think about my This I beleive paper

To be completely honest this was one of the hardest papers I have written. The main part of the story was really easy to come up with but I found it extremely difficult to explain what I believe in on paper. It is really easy just to say that I believe in something but when you have to write it down and turn it in as a paper I thought that it was hard. When I first started my paper I was relaxed and thought that it would take me an hour tops to write the paper and I could watch some TV. Man was I wrong I got about a page written and just froze up. I couldn’t think of anything that would relate to my believe. So I thought to myself that I have to many distractions so I got off AIM, turned off the TV and turned on some music. It did held at first but I got about half way through a paragraph and froze up again. After sitting there for about five minutes I got really upset. I started swearing and just went kind of nuts. I don’t think that I have ever gotten that mad at a paper in my life. When I finished my paper it was like a huge weigh was lifted off my shoulders. Some of my concerns about the paper were Am I getting my point across about my believe enough that the reader was understanding what I am saying but after getting fantastic feedback from my peers I came to realize that I had written a well rounded paper. I think that I can write and stay on track very well. I can follow the guidelines and I think I am a good writer in general but I guess I will find out when I get my rough draft back and the final of my reflection. I think that I will try to do something’s different on my brainstorming. That is a huge flaw in my writing process that I need to work on.

The Boondock Saints


This is by far one of if not the best movie that I have seen in a long time. It is about these to Irish brother's that work as meat cutters and later become guys that just go around a kill people that have done wrong in their eyes. This is a very fast paced action packed movie. Another thing that I like about the movies is that when the two brother get ready to go in an kill the bad guys the movies cuts back to the police investigation an the police try to figure out what happened just from the evidence that is left behind. This not a movie that everyone will like there is swearing, guns, fighting, drinking and allot of blood. Right from the start of the movie you can tell if you are going to watch it or just shut it off. There is a bar scene at the beginning of the movie were they are all at the bar because it is St. patty's day and that is what Irish people do. The two brother end up beat ting the hell out of 3 mafia guys and later the next day they come back for revenage but the Irish brothers have differnt plans. The door gets kicked in and it is 2 of the mafia guys that they beat up the night before. They hit one brother in the head with a handgun and take the other brother out the door but before the two mafia guys go to kill the one brother they handcuff the other brother to the toilet. With his brothers life on his mind he decided to ripe the toilet off the floor. In the process of ripping the toilet off the floor the handcuffs tear into his wrist and they start to bleed. With wrist bleeding he gets the strength to climb out the window that over looks the alley, he positions himself over the mafia guy that now has his gun pressed against he brothers head and drops the toilet that he still had in his hands and it lands on teh bad guys head killing him. while the toilet is falling he jumps off the balcaney and lands on the other mafia guy killing the mafia guy but also knocks himself out too. That is just one of many great scens throughout this movie

My wrtting

I believe that I am a very stong writting in general. I can give good discribtion and keep my reader very interested in my work. I have some flaws though. when I am writting my mind is think of what I should write and it sounds great but when it comes ot being put on paper or typing it out it becomes a problem. In my reflection paper I thought I did a very good job at letting the reader know who Matt was and how much of an influence that he had on my life. I also thought that the paper flows very well. I kept on track and put some of my best work in this paper. I think that my biggest weakness is reading over my paper and put the words that are missing to make a sentence sound good. so when I read over all my paper I think that I am going to take some time off after the paper is done and then come back to it and hopefully that will help me out to make my papers to be the best that I can make them. I am suer that I have had many 4.0 papers but with my reading flawright after I get done with it is just not working and that is my goal to get very high scores on my papers and become a stronger writter

Over salted buger

When I first heard about this story on cnn I was in shock. how can some get charged with over salting hambuger meat it is just plan stupid. to think that someone made a mistake at work cost her a night in jail. She worked in the back and you cant see who is coming through the drive through. I really think that the cop just over reacted and was mad becasue didnt enjoy the food her was sevred. I really dont think that someone would do something to a cops let alone do it to the hole batch of hambuger meat. I mean be honest do you think that she whould do something like that to jeoperdize her job. I dont know about where she is from but here in jackson and in michigan alone jobs are something that you can afford to lose their job. If she was working the window and spit in the food then I would understand but with someone working in the back of the resturant made a mistake and now she is looking at crimanal charages with is total BS. If this happened to me or one of my froend or even someone that I have never heard of I would go crazy.

Higgins Lake Trip

I can still remember the trip we took to Higgins Lake. There is was Matt our friend Will and I loading up in Matt's 89 Gmc pick up truck. It was a tight fit It felt like I was getting constricted like a boa consricter does to its pray. Here I am in the middle of two huges guys. Matt was about 315lbs and Will was about 295lbs and then that lives me about 125lbs sopping wet and that is on a good day. We left Matt's house at about 2 am and it take 3 hours or more to get there. We got about half way and it just started raining like cats and dogs. Unfortunately we didn have a top or a cover over the back were all of our camping stuff was, at one point it was raining so hard that we had to pull over just until the rain let up some. I think that we arrived at the camp ground at about 8 am. Needless to say that we got lost on the way. I really hate getting lost and to be between those tow guys was torch er. After a few hours of sleep we went into town and grabbed a bit to eat and then heading to the lake. I have never heard of Higgins Lake before this trip and I thought it was going to another lake and nothing special. I have never been so wrong in my life. It was a clearest and cleanest lake I have ever been to. The water tasted like aquafina but it felt like you fell through the ice in the winter time that is how cold the water was. We only stayed there for a week but it was really nice to get away for a while and really relax. Those are the memories that I enjoy the most with Matt.
