PLN 20: Superbowl

The Superbowl is a very popular event all around the world. Everyone loves rooting for their favorite team all season and hoping that they will make it to the Superbowl. Only two teams make it to the Superbowl every year. It is a very exiting time if your favorite team happens to make it there. The reason I think this is important is because it is always important to have that time to wind down and just have fun. If people don't have that time to relax many people wouldn't be as happy. This would make people less healthy because if they didn't have this time they would have much more stress. Many people would agree with me on this subject.Everyone always needs to have their own "fun" stress relieving time. For many people one of these times is during the Superbowl. The Superbowl is a very fun exiting time for most people.

The video we watched in class was about our generation. It talked about how much of our generation is to depressed and hopeless. It talked about how people need to be more optimistic and hopeful. This video was a very important video because it tells me and everyone else that you should always be optimistic and stop being so sad and depressed. Many bad things can happen when people are depressed. This was important to the rest of the world because when people are depressed they need something or someone to help get them back into the optimistic mood. This video was good because it told people to be happy and stop being so depressed. This helps the whole world by telling our generation to lighten up.

(PLN 18) Change

The video we watched in school was about how much the world has changed. It talked about all the new types of technology we have earned over many years. There were young kids in the video talking about the way there lives had changed to symbolize how young people would live there lives and get used to the technology they had no matter how much and then by the time they had grown up they had twice the amount of technology and the new tech they had was much more sophisticated than the old technology. This video was important to me and the rest of the world because it displays how important our technology is and shows everyone how fast the world is changing.

There are times I need someone or something to just be there. and be understanding and have unconditinal love. Whisper gives me this.

My second item is my ipod. My ipod is a big part of my life because I love music. I played the trombone in middle school and really enjoyed it. I enjoy hearing and playing music. Listening to music relaxes me and helps me to concentrate. It helps me to shut out the world around me. All the noises and activities that are going on. It provides me with a peaceful and quiet place to escape. Music just makes life more enjoyable.

My third item is a stuffed monkey. This monkey looks just like a monkey my dad had as a little boy. This explains me because I love monkeys. I have liked them since I was very young. I used to collect monkeys and have several of them. The monkey that looks like my dads old one was given to me by my aunt. She gave it to me because she thinks I look like my dad when he was young. I think I like monkeys because they seem to be carefree and goofy. They seem to just enjoy life. I am a pretty carefree person. This is why I think monkeys explain me.

Hiker Survives a Frigid Night in a Campground Bathroom (pln16)

In this article the hiker, Chad Koch found himself lost during his hike. He was forced to take refuge in the campground restroom when a winter storm dumped more than 18 inches of snow and dropped the temperature below zero. Koch's dog "Snoopy", a small jack russell terrier was killed from exposure to the frigid snow drifts. Koch's mother reported that he had not returned late Monday. Search and rescue volunteers went looking for Koch on ski's snowmobile's and horseback when they were forced to suspend the search because of the harsh weather conditions. They resumed hunting when they herd that Koch had been found. When Koch woke the sun was rising allowing Koch to find which way was east. He walked eastward until he saw a man plowing his drive. The man allowed him into his house gave him coffee and a warm blanket. The man also called the authorities. This was important to me because it tells people to always be as careful as possible and how to protect yourself if you are ever in a situation like his. Most people would think this was important because it sends a message to people reminding them to always be prepared for any thing.

Accused Killer of Denver Bronco is Facing new Charges (pln15)

According to the Denver Post the man accused of killing Darrent Williams (the broncos cornerback) is now being faced with new charges of possessing dangerous contraband in Denver City Jail. Willie Clark is facing life in prison for the murder of Williams. Clark is also facing these charges for the shooting of Kalonniann Clark, this woman was not related to Clark but was going to testify in an attempted murder case against Brian Hicks. Hicks was one of Clark's associates. This article about Clark matters to me because I think we should try to keep dangerous people who have been convicted with things such as murder put away so that they can not hurt anyone. Most would agree with me because we all want to be as safe as possible and don't want dangerous people running around freely. People should always have their share of punishment when they commit such crimes so that it decreases the chance of them doing it again.

Butane Tanker Explosion Closes Highway (pln14)

A butane tanker exploded when the second "pup" trailer malfunctioned. The malfunction caused the trailer to roll. The truck was carrying 12,547 gallons of butane. The second trailer caught fire and the fire spread to the main trailer. This caused the two trailers to explode and sent the pup trailer flying more than a half mile from the original site. People helped the 77-year-old Paul Prime out of the cab before the explosion. I think it was great that people helped this man out of the cab. If more people in our society would help each other we would have a better world. I think most people would agree that it was great for those people to help the driver. I am sure if any of us were the one in that situation, we would want someone to help us.
