Eminem's Brisk commercial

 There was and is many commercials on T.V. that I enjoy watching but this one caught my eye the most of all. It was premiered in the super bowl's famous commercials and it really caught my eye. The title of this commercial is Eminem's Brisk commercial in which he advertises Nestea Brisk Ice Tea. I like this commercial because my favorite rapper Eminem is in it and I grew up with brisk. My first contact with Brisk was when I was nine and I was at Shawnee Mt. Ski resort but I was snowboarding in a competition. The grand prize was $5,000 and a sponsership from Brisk or Red Bull. It was me and a whole bunch of kids and teenagers. I still remember this boy named David who was the best guy out thier. He won first place and took the sponsership from Red Bull so the person in second place person got the Brisk sponsership and I got stickers, new Burton bindings and a autographed T-shirt. I really thought that Brisk was a more well-paying sponser but I guess I was wrong. Also, another reason i chose this commercial is that it is cartoon like and I really like picture motion which means that someone takes a picture for every second of the movie and moves a character very-slowly each time which creates a cool effect that that object is moving. Another thing that has to do with filming of the commercial is that I like how the background while each scene changes. I don't think I could of chosen a better commercial to write about and describe!

A lesson about jobs well learned!

For the past month or so, we have learned about applying for college, writing resumes, writing letters of recommendation and of course being interviewed for a job. My favorite of all the topics was being interviewed. I liked this of all the topics because you got to talk and not get in trouble for it. A big bonus was that you got to talk about things and topics you liked and it wasn't any random conversation you have with a friend or parent. some things I learned on this are that applying for a job is much harder than I thought it was and I know what the difference between hard and easy. Also I never knew or probably would ever know that you have to type a college essay as a part of your application to college. I never thought that you need a college essay because my parents never mentioned anything like it  and I am pretty sure my parents and I talk about school all the time, so I find that kind of ironic.
Also, I thought that colleges accepted people by students going to the college and taking a test course similar to the SA but, I guess i was wrong. Another thing I learned is that conversations with someone in a higher stance than you is much much harder as I imagined it would be in my mind. I believe it is harder than talking to a friend because that person is towering over you with power and that makes me very uncomfortable. Many things were learned during this lesson, but these made me think the most and I thought were totally new to me.

Global warming!

             You may have heard about all the rustle about global warming and the world ending and how we ourselves are ruining the earth and it's objects. I believe the earth is not going to die because it is solid rock and can withstand anything. It's more likely that we will die because of what we are doing and the needs of our lives. One big thing people are trying to do is convince automobile companies to make hybrid cars. As we all know hybrid means it uses two or more power sources to power itself or something. In this case we are using gasoline which harms the environment and electricity based engines, this still harms the environment and is not fully electric. So, it helps the problem but does not solve it as many people think. Their are many fully electric cars but they cost big stack of cash to buy or to maintain. One of my family members bought a brand new 2011 Chevrolet Volt on Christmas and hated it. He said you have to charge it which takes the same amount of money of electricity costs as gasoline prices so their is no difference. Also, because of the high voltage the car puts out it causes the gears to wear away extremely fast. It took my cousin only two rides to completely make his gears dull. That brings in an extra cost. The only good thing is the oil free breaks and spark plugs. If you add up the costs of maintenance and electricity for this vehicle it is pretty much the same cost of a normal cars gasoline and maintenance. Many people use solar panels that I believe people will use until the Sun's power runs out. They convert solar energy into electricity or for heating water. These power savers are not as expensive as electric cars and are easy to install. I think these are the most common things used to save power and conserve energy. I feel that global warming is important and people should start taking it more seriously because they will only start to understand when it is actually happening.
