Restaurant Review.

The review that we wrote gave me some good ideas for things I will look for when I do my review. I think I already know which place I'm going to do for a couple reasons: Its one of my favorites, the food is amazing, its not a chain and the atmosphere is unique. When my boyfriend from Minnesota was just here I also took him to this resturant because I think its' important to my city considering all of my friends love it and its famous around our high school. And in case you were wondering he fell in love with it as well....which i knew he would. :)

community member paper..

I am really happy with how this paper ended up turning out. I used more vivid details and structured my paper more than the previous one. I tried keeping each paragraph to having a single point or topic which i had struggled with in the past. The best part about this was the interview. I really enjoyed interviewing a police officer. For a class in high school we had gone into the police station before and got to see many places within this, so it was nice to get to sit down and learn what its like to be an officer.

Paper goals

Some goals that I would like to accomplish in this profile paper are showing lots of imagery, emotion and giving the reading an idea of their personal life and how it may conflict with their job. Also I want to show how perhaps the job inhibits their personality or how they really are day to day.

Pic of the week..

I think I'm going to start posting a personal picture of the week that shows emotion. Basically because as I have said before i love pictures and emotion can be drawn from both writing and images...


this is a picture of myself and my boyfriend that lives in minnesota

rap music..

We were discussing in class rap music and stereotypes that go along with it...and i was watching music videos on MTV the other night and I noticed that everything we discussed in class was true. The artists tried to look like gangster, had women hanging all over them wearing barely anything and flaunted expensive cars. Then a Three 6 Mafia song came on where people in the music video could pay to look at the lives of the member of Three 6 Mafia and they were all white people. Then they had little parts where they actually turned the white lookeer into the member of the group just for a minute like they were immitating the rapper. This confirmed all the information we had read about how white people observe from a safe environment and then immitate the rappers.

Soundtrack to my life..

1. All Hail The Heartbreaker - The spill canvas: This represents the high school which is huuge in my city and all the relationships that consume peoples lives throughout their high school career.
2. Am-Pm - Christina Milian : This also represent high school life and all the constant parties in my town
3. Days Go By - Keith Urban : This just describes how fast time goes by and how I remember like it was yesturday my first day of school and now im suddenly in college.
4. Live Like You Were Dying - Time McGraw : People live rather lavishly in novi and this song reminds me of just how people spoil themselves and live to the fullest.
5. Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel : A lot of kids in my graduating class had a parent die and they were all young parents, which made us all realize to not take our families for granted.
6. The Natives - Hollywood Undead : This talks about the fights we go through.and how we become who we are and how you remember the way you got to where we are today.
7. Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield : Our lives are what we make them to be.

interview paper..

so I'm still having a hard time figuring out who i'm going to interview. The last paper was hard enough considering I do not like my city and don't spend much time here...so trying to take in interest in a stranger is a lot tougher. Right now I'm thinking a police officer and that's the only idea i have at the moment...I know i have to do my interview tomorrow so maybe the pressure will helpl me think of something more..

cold weather story..

As my car sputters to a stop while flying down the espressway in wosconsin (that has 3 names) I scream out every swear word in my vocabulary. The trip had already gone wrong in more ways imaginable and just when I thought I'd reach my destination safely...my car runs out of gas. Thankfully the 100 mph momentum I'd built up allowed me to coast my way into an exit ramp. My next obsticle, running down the ramp, 18 year old, 98 lbs, white girl in wisconsin at midnight to a truck stop. Needless to say I thought the worst was going to happen. Getting out of my car in a pink sweatshirt, abercrombie sweat pants and silver flats didn't exactle buff up my helpless look either. As soon as I opened my car door the below zero weather hit me like knives. As I was running I couldn't help but burst out laughing as I thought to myself.. "so this is what the news meant by severe weather warning". After buying a gas can and $2.o0 worth of gas I made my treck back to my car. Upon arrival and being outside that long without gloves my hands were literally frozen and I couldn't move them for the life of me. So natuarally I did what I always do and panicked thinking "how coud I have thought I could do this entire trip throught 5 states alone!!!??" I sat in my car shaking violently and breathing furiiously on my hands but they refused to make even slight movements. I tried putting them on my neck and sittin gon them but nothing worked. Time crept by so slowly as I couldn't figure out where I was, how much farther I had to drive to Minnesota and why my hands still weren't able to move! Then to my relief a police car pulled up behind me. He walks to my window and I yel "open my door I cna't move my hands". He opens my door, helps me inot the back of his car and turns the heat on full power. He fills my car up with gas and then when I finaly can move my hands, I start my car and he follows me to a near by gas station. He then helps me fill my car up because now y hands feel as though a thousand needles are punturing through them. After more time of sitting by the heater and humoring him with my other horror stories from earlier that day I take a picture of us for my photo album and drive the rest of the way in Minnesota to my destination.

The "D"

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/01-31-2007/0004517248&EDATE=

The campaign seems like it is going to work to some extent. I was curious as to specifics of how this will make Detroit "cool". I just do not see it happening. They have a good target audience that will in turn tell more people about it by word of mouth. The "D" design is more modern and young i guess you could say. Which is suitable for the young target group that they have chosen. It has a sleek look to it too with cool relaxing colors, so its easy to look at. The Font of the D is a new look to Detroit. They are trying to give Detroit an entirely new image with just one picture. I do not think that Detroits image will be changed by just one campaign, I think it will take much longer and much more effort.
