This picture I chose is of a 87-89 BMW 325ix taken by a photrapher by the name of Garrett Masters. (www.garrettmasters.com) I really enjoy this picture. I think the black and white along with the placement of the car and the background represents a classic feel. Considering this BMW is almost impossible to find in mint condition now a days, it has become a classic in itself. I like how Garrett was able to find a BMW in that condition and portray it in a classic way.

WARNING: THIS MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME VIEWERS!

W8:

This video by Bo Burnham is designed to provoke interest by addressing sensitive topics. Bo makes the tone of topics such as abortion, race, Hitler, and other inappropriate things to joke about very light hearted by putting them into song form. The lyrics themselves would be appalling to read without the up beat song playing as well. He is obviously accepted by most of the general public because he has published a CD as well as some Comedy Central skits. The video shown is one of many. It is amazing how accepting society is about cracking jokes involving the Holocaust, Helen Keller, homosexuals, and even infidelity in relationships. It makes sense that joking about these things would make someone feel a little less bad, but for some people they might really be offended. I just thought this video would strike some interest and make you guys think about what this world is coming to and what society is now ok with discussing.

Oh my God Myranda this was an amazing video. This guy has a great sense of humor. He understands that humor isnt always what people see is funny. Its kind of like art, whats funny is really what is funny to you. He just has enough testicular fortitude to go out and put it out and see what others think about it. Thank you for posting this. It has really made me laugh and made my day.

Bo Burnham really knows how to take two opposing things and make it funny in some sort of way or another. I think the ways in which he relates events, such as a Nazi soldier and Gypsy on the run, and how he presents those events is hilarious. I’ve seen a couple of his skits on Comedy Central and I’ve always enjoyed watching them through to the end. Now that I think about it, it is pretty amazing with what people are comfortable laughing at now a days.

For those of you who don’t know John Wall, he’s a basketball player and plays pint guard for University of Kentucky. In this video you can see Wall doing a dance that has turned into a phenomenon. He didn’t create the dance but he’s made it famous.The purpose of this video is to show the popularity of the dance. I find it quite amusing and hopefully you will too.

This video cracks me up!!!!! I’m a huge sports fan but i had never seen this video! Sometimes I just search youtube for videos like these because they are so original and awesome. Hopefully I’ll find some soon but I’m so glad you posted this:)

Wow, I’ve seen this so called ‘dance’ here and there and I never knew exactly where it came from. This is hilarious. It’s funny how such little things can become so popular without meaning for them to. Especially through something like youtube.

I chose this picture while I was browsing architecture images on google. The picture caught my attention right away. For the longest time I wanted to be an architect. From the architect’s point of view I believe he or she was trying to design a unique building that fit well with the environment around it. The surroundings are very green and the architect did a good job of making the building flow from the ground up with the lawn to have it sort of blend in and to make it look like it belongs to its’ surroundings. It’s definately unique too. How many buildings do you know of where you have to mow the roof?

This is a picture of the Olympic flag I got from the Wikipedia page “Olympic Games”.  I chose this because, the Olympics are going on right now and I am a huge fan of man (or woman) powered achievement (that is, anything without motors).  I believe the photographer was trying to capture the Olympic flag waving in the wind. I believe he deliberately chose to capture it while blowing in the wind because a flag that is swept into action by the wind has more power to the human eye.  Think for a moment if you will; imagine your home country/state’/school’s flag sitting atop a flag pole and not waving; now imagine the flag blowing in the wind, showing every detail stitched into its cloth shimmering in the sun and wind.  You become more proud of your flag when it seems to gloriously move unhindered by gravity, which is in reality the wind.  But to us, beings bound by gravity seeing something that is not bound by that same force has power.  So I believe the artist wanted to depict the power the Olympics holds over so many people in the world.  The power to lift spirits, bring hope and unity, and ultimately to show us that our world is not fair and equal; because there is one winner (or winning team) at the end of every event.

The Olympics are always very fun to watch. My favorite would have to be the snowboarding half pipe competition. The ways in which each competitor improves every time they compete is amazing. It’s almost like they have no limits to the stuff they’re able to pull off. When snowboarding first started, 1080’s (which is 3 full rotations) were unheard of. Now they’re doing 1080’s like it’s expected of them along with double flips in the same run. Along with how high they’re able to get up in the air, it’s incredible. It’s amazing how fast something can progress.

I thought this video was pretty cool. I’ve known about it for a while and I always enjoy watching it. I beleive the people who put forth the effort to make this were trying to create humor in an unusual yet cool way. I thought they did a fairly good job of it too. I laugh every time I watch the video. The abnormal movement of the competitors along with the insane moves that they’re able to pull off while the ‘camera angle’ changes is really well thought out. There are a couple other video’s of the same matrix ping pong act, but you are able to see the people when they move around which sort of ruins it, in my opinon. I thought the black light that they added did a really good job of hiding the people behind the scenes to make it look more like a ‘matrix’ type of ping pong match.

This video was introduced to me by my boyfriend, Michael. His reasoning for showing me was that he is big into guitar and he wants this song played at his wedding, my response, “You want it played at your wedding, You learn to play it yourself.” This guy playing the guitar doesn’t share his name but he has a lot of talent. I think he posted this video to youtube because he wanted to learn something unconventional on the guitar and perfect it. This kid is playing what is normally looked at as a violin piece as a part of Pachelbel’s “Canon”. I love the way he put his own spin on a classical song, he is very talented and I can see why he wanted to share this with the world!!

The reason I chose to reblog this was because the first minute or so, along with the drum beats of this some made me think of my favorite band all through middle school and half of highschool and that is blink 182.  I still love and listen to their music and I hope that when they come out with new music (they’re back if you didn’t hear) its like a mix of old blink + angels and airwaves maturity.  We’ll see.

 W4 reblog - reading this first reblog and then listening to the music, it does remind me a lot of angels and airwaves. I love listening to blink 182 also. The person playing the guitar is really good though. I do enjoy how he put a bit of spin on the song. It was very enjoyable to listen to, it flowed well.

"To me, coming from you,
Friend is a four letter word,
End is the only part of the word
That I heard"

W4 Post-

This is the chorus from a song called Friend is a Four Letter Word written by Cake. I believe that the artist here is trying to relay a message concerning trust. He may have had some bad experiences with past friendships or relationships. “Friend is a four letter word” is basically saying that friend can be replaced with a four letter word where a four letter word would be a swear word. The next line, “End is the only part of the word / That I heard” is saying that out of the word “friend” the -end part is the only part of the word that he understands or hears because maybe that particular friendship has ceased to exist. Maybe through betrayal or just neglecting to stay in touch. Either way, the friendship has ended. It does sound like it is a specific friend though, otherwise there would be mention of plural friends.

Week 3:

Well, the day I knew was coming has arrived.  My Macbook Pro broke.

Now, instead of being able to easily take my computer into a certified repair shop (like I could with my old PC), I have to make an appointment, show up at that specific time, and be talked down to by some hoity-toity-specially trained technician.  Even though I have an appointment, the Apple stores are always packed full of trendy iPhone buyers, causing my set time and date to be pushed back.  And after all that, I’ll be paying at least half of what my computer cost just to fix the charging port.

I do love my Mac, but it is not very user friendly at all.  With my old Toshiba, I could easily fix any software problems, or get cheap repairs from any certified tech wherever I want.  But now, the times I can take in my Mac is limited, repairs are complicated, and prices are sky-high.  I hardly see why I would prefer a Mac to a PC in this factor comparison.

Yeah I used to be a diehard PC fan but i recently got my first Mac. The interface is clean and very easy to use but i don’t like Apple’s “award winning” customer support very much. I’ve had my iPhone for about a year and I’ve found if you never use it, it can’t be broken. Simple Apple philosophy.

 W3 Reblog

I feel your pain completely!! I have never actually had a Mac computer because my Dad works for Dell but I was first in line to get my Iphone when they came out. I have had so many problems with it and the Apple customer service. My phone was stolen last year and I had bought the tracker device that goes in the iphone and they claim that they can track your phone through that if someone tries to plug it into Itunes. However, after my phone was stolen I contacted apple and they said that this was not possible and they had no idea what I was talking about. I was very frustrated with them and to sum it up, Apple is cocky and their custumer siervice is not helpful!

When it comes to windows versus mac, I always go with windows. Mostly because of the all around combatability issues. But when it comes to small devices, such as iPhones versus smart phones, I’d definately go with the iPhone because it’s uses are limitless! It’s very user friendly too. As you mentioned though, repairing, or even having someone look at my iPhone is a pain, but in the end it’s worth it, in my opinion.

This picture was taken by me while I was snowboarding at Stevens Pass in Washington state. I love this picutre because it represents exactly how I feel while snowboarding. It makes me feel free. Like there’s no boundaries. Not to mention the scenery is beautiful. I love the snow. I love the way it makes your backyard look, especially on days it cancells school!
