#30- Internet research

GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered. In other words they are things that are not naturally. They have been taking plant genes and make their own plants out of the genes that they have gotten. Monsanto is the company that makes this happen.
In my personal opinion I don't think that they should be making plants this way. I think this because it isn't natural and it can be bad for nature. If there isn's anything natural anymore, not even plants, then nothing will ever be.
Here in this website there is more information on these GMO's.

Assignment #24 Typing

I haven't taken any classes for typing but when I type essays I try to type faster and type without looking at the keyboard. It is still a little difficult to do that I have gotten better at it.


There are some websites where they help people learn how to improve their typing skills. One website is called typing test. It gives you timers and it tells what you did wrong and how to improve on it. It has other things you can do on the website too.

Assignment #31 Free Choice

   I am going to write about the tattoo that I want to get and will eventually get. I want to get an anchor on my thumb. I know a lot of people will ask why I am getting and if I know what it means. The anchor tattoos have three different meanings. One being the most common which is representing a sailor.
   The anchor tattoo to some people means that they once had something to do with the sea or things of that matter. It has meaning to the sea because a lot of sailors used these a lot when they went off to sea. It is easy to tell if that is what the tattoo represents because of the way it is drawn out. Most people with the sea meaning to this have ropes around them.
   The second meaning that this tattoo has, is religion. It is said that in history when christianity was forbidden some people used the symbol of the anchor to secretly represent themselves. They used the anchor because of the hidden cross that it has. This was often used when the christians would escape from persecuting greeks.
   The last meaning that this tattoo has, is stabilization. The anchor to many people means strong foundation or that they have to a point in their lives were they have settled down. To others it is a reminder to stay well grounded on what they are doing. The anchor tattoo has a lot of meaning and history in it. The reason why I want to get this tattoo is because I want to represent my love for the sea. I want people to see my tattoo and ask me why I got it so that I can let them know that the ocean is my get away. If you click here you will see a little more information and comments on this tattoo.

Assignment #20- Free Choice

          Im going to write about my favorite music. There is two kinds of music that I really enjoy listening to. Theres alternative rock and reggae. There one specific band that I really like right now. They're called The Dirty Heads. They're a reggae band. When I first heard them I was really into sublime.One time I hung out with my older cousin (who is more of a brother to me) and his girlfriend. They noticed that I was listening to sublime and they were surprised I was into their kind of music. That day they played The Dirty Heads while they were driving. The first song was "Dance all Night".  When I heard it I immediately liked it. More and more of their music came up and I knew that their music was going to be my absolute favorite.
          One of my favorite songs right now is one called "Chelsea". This song hasn't been performed by them at any of the concerts. At first me and my cousin questioned, why would they write such a good song and not share it live with the rest of the world. We both came to notice that , that song is a personal song. I would like to find out why the song was made and who it is about. This song is very beautiful.
           Many of the songs have a lot of meaning to me and my cousin. Others are just nice to listen too. They're music is so chill. I can relax when I listen to them. I think the dirty heads are very good band and they're awesome. They have a cool website where it has more of their information.

#22 smoking

there are ten reasons to why people start smoking ciggerates. these are the reasons,
10. peer pressure: if the friends are doing why not you
9. social rewards: it makes them different from others and "cool"
8. risk-taking behavior: most people are restricted from smoking and risk taking is exhilarating
7. parental influence: most teens and children are more likely to smoke if their parents do so
6. misinformation: some people are missed informed of what tabaco can do to someone
5. predisposition: some say that the cause to smoking may be passed on genetically
4. advertising: research has suggested that advertisments can cause people to start smoking
3. self-medication: some people smoke making themselves bellieve it calms tension in thier muscles
2. media influences: the media also incurages people to start smoking just like fashion people follow whats "trendy"
1. to some people it releases stress
I personally dont think smoking cigarettes is a good thing but I don't judge people for doing so. If a person chooses to do so then thats on them. One thing though is that I think people who do smoke should have courtesy for people who don't, especially kids. I do think it's a bad habit to have, how ever as long as im not around it I don't mind it. I have never smoked a cigarette nor do I ever intend to do.

assignment#25 popular culture (dexter)

There is currently a television show that is a bit popular. It is one of my favorite shows and it is very interesting. It is currently on tv but I watch it at my sisters house because her husband bought the seasons. The show is called Dexter.
This series is about a man named Dexter Jackson. By day he is a criminal investigator and by night he is a serial killer. He isn't evil though. He murders murderers. When he receives a case of a homicide and things of that matter he does his job and finds who the murder is, instead of letting his boss know and putting the criminal in jail he takes matters into his own hands. He investigates on what the criminal does and when he can catch him. Once he does he sleeps them with a drug, undresses them and tapes them completely to a table (he covers them with the tape so no inappropriate body parts are seen). When the murder wakes up Dexter speaks to them and makes them feel bad for what they have done. Once the murder shows a bit sign of sympathy (which rarely occurs) he cuts their neck and lets them bleed out. He then chops them into parts and throws the body away. For some reason before he kills them he always makes a small cut on there right cheek.
Dexter has a wife and three kids. The two oldest kids are of his wife and her previous marriage and the baby boy is his and his wife's. He is a crime seen investigator and works along side with his sister. No one knows of his second life as a killer. The reason he kills the murders is because he believes it gives better justice. When he was a baby he witnessed his mother get killed brutally. That traumatizing part of his life has caused him to do what he does. Sometimes his father comes to his thoughts and they have conversations. When he pictures his father he seems to remember things more. His father is dead. Im not sure yet how his father died. So far I have gotten to a part where something tragic has happened and it will live him feeling guilty for a ling time. You can see more of Dexter on their website



assignment 13-my favorite

There is varies types of music that I enjoy listening to but there is one band that I just love. The Dirty Heads. This band is a reggae band, they have such nice songs and they are great singers. The singers are Duddy B and Dirty Jay, the rest of the band is  Jon , Matt, and David. They are the ones on the instruments.
I heard them through my cousin eddie. I started listening to sublime and when I told him he told me that I would love the dirty heads. He was right. To me their music is awesome. Almost all of their songs are my favorite but if I had to choose one it would be "Chelsea". The song Chelsea is a beautiful song and I believe it has a personal meaning to the band. They have never sang it at any concerts but I think they should. That song is so beautiful and it would be awesome to hear them sing it live.
They are on tour and will soon be coming to costa mesa. They will be performing near the OC fair in july.
This band is my favorite because the music they play is the kind of music I enjoy to listen to and I can relate to most of the songs they sing. The songs really get to me unlike any other and so thats why I really like them. They are a very good band and they are good singers. I think their music is great and very nice.They also have their own website where they have their bio tours and other things of their band.
