I wanted the last blog...


I'm not gonna lie... I actually teared up when I was thinking about you guys and the fact that this is our LAST blog and the LAST class we will have together. I want you all to know that I have truly enjoyed having each of you in my class this semester. I could not have asked for a better group of master students. You all hold a special place in my heart, and I'll have to let you know when and if another class even comes close to being as cool as you! CONGRATULATIONS seniors!

Street Dancing: More Legal than Street Racing



Street dancers are quite common in highly populated areas, especially places that are good tourist attractions. In Paris, this VERY talented street dancer performs, probably on a regular basis. Many street dancers and street performers perform to make a quick buck. If I was to say so myself, I would say this guy has earned more than a quick buck! What do you think? Would you donate any money to this man for his awesome talents and performances? Moving one's body in a fluid motion as perfect as this is VERY complicated and requires A LOT of talent and practice. Do you have any unique skills? If so, explain them. Would you use your talents to make a few extra dollars by performing for passersby? Is there any specific ability that you would prefer to perform? This man undoubtedly has more talent than the average performer.

Infant involved in Scam

Mother claims infant son used in scam: wavy.com


Do you think the woman intended to scam the teen mom from the beginning? Would you have trusted a woman that you barely know to care for your child? Should the woman be punished for her actions? If so, what kind of punishment should be enforced?

Gender-Free Child??



What did you think of this video? Is it a good idea to allow a child to choose what gender they want to be? Are the parents making the gender issue bigger than it has to be? Do you think the parents will be able to keep the gender of their child a secret? Could this possibly have a negative effect on the child's future?

De La Mu


Suicide is a major problem throughout the world. It's quite understandable (and logical) that this video would upset or enrage many viewers; especially those who have relations to someone who has committed or attempted to commit suicide. I personally find this video to be amusing in the sense that the guy that was going to "jump" was being equally as dramatic as the man trying to persuade him not to do so. Putting aside the awkward (and slightly annoying) noises and vocals, the video did have an emotional connection up until the end. Many (including myself) have never dealt with a loved one attempting suicide (NOT meaning to imply that it is something that should be experienced). How does this video's comedic play on a serious and emotional problem make you feel? The message portrayed in this video is that a lot of people threaten to commit suicide but, even after upsetting all of their closest friends and family, end up either backing out in the end or never planned on actually doing it in the first place (only wanting attention). What are your thoughts on this video and it's painfully delivered message? Were you concerned at all for the man about to lose his closest friend?.. Or maybe for the man who had been previously thought to have given up on life? What did you think of the ending? Did it surprise you at all? On the subject of something as serious as suicide, I never expected an ending such as this one.

Its Time to Get Punchy.......



Saturday Night Live is one of my favorite shows. I really think the 90's episodes of Saturday Night Live where some of the best. Do you watch SNL? Have you ever seen this video? What would you do if this happened to you? Would you ever do this to someone else? What type of celebrity would you like to see get the sense knocked out of them?

Nice.....




So what do you think about this? Do you care that the congressman has abs? Would you vote for him because of his looks? I might but that's because I have a soft spot for guys with nice abs/pecks, that's just me. Should it be on mazinges and such? Do you think that this really matters when it comes to politics?

Oh Arnold...

True Sportsmanship



This video touched many but also myself. I have played softball for all of my life and have never seen anything like this. It makes me thank God that some people in this world have the heart to help others. Even though the girl's goal cost her her softball career I am glad she was able to conquer it. If you play a sport, have you been able to make your goal? After watching this video does it make you have the drive to go conquer your goal because you don’t know when something like this could happen to you? Do you think you would have rushed over to help your teammate if it would have changed your score? Do you think you would have been like the opposing team’s players and have the courage to carry her around the bases even though it didn’t help their score?

College Scare?

ODU students arrested in home invasion: wavy.com



About a month ago this home invasion happen on the ODU campus. The students allegedly involved in this invasion stole from their fellow schoolmates. These students also used guns and knifes in this invasion. How would you feel if you knew your roommate had a gun or knife? For the seniors planning to go to college and the upcoming students preparing for the road to college what do you think about this video? How would you feel if you found out your roommate was a thief? How do you think the students on campus feel about their own body of students steeling from them? I was thinking about transferring to ODU after a few years at TCC but now I am starting to rethink this idea. Would you want to go to a campus where you know for sure this crime happened? Does this make you rethink your college choices now?

Parasailing Donkey




Recently, a group of entrepreneurs promoted their business by forcing a donkey to
parasail. Do you feel that this is animal cruelty? Should the people who did this be punished? Animal rights activists are filing a lawsuit against the business for endangering the donkey. What is the craziest business promotion tactic you have seen? Do you feel that this form of advertising provided the business with more customers? My favorite is the Liberty Tax Service people who dress as the Statue of Liberty and dance on the sidewalk.

Did He Juice??


Barry Bonds is one of the greatest American athletes of all time! But he will never be remembered for it. Why? Because he used performance enhancing drugs. Two days ago he was convicted of obstuction of justice in court, but the perjury trials were dropped. He was facing perjury trials for lying about using steroids while under oath. Do you think that steroids ruins America’s game of baseball? What is your view on steroids? Do you think they are moral or un-moral? Should athletes be allowed to use them?

If Balloons Could Feel



What exactly would it be like if balloons COULD talk? Would we comfort and cuddle them or would our violent sides take over? This video questions what it would be like if balloons could talk, but simply being able to talk does not mean something has feelings or can feel pain. Perhaps balloons have feelings? What are the odds of balloons actually being able to feel us squeezing them to pop them? I'm sure balloons do not appreciate you rubbing them on your hair to make them stick on the walls. Don't you agree? If you were a balloon, I'm sure you wouldn't want humans going out of their way to violently kill you, right?

Are YOU a banana?



From what I hear, this gentlemen dressed in this fine banana suit is considered "weird". I mean where would you even find a banana suit?... (no seriously, I would like an answer to this question) Personally, after watching the majority of his posted videos, I find him quite hilarious.... sadly most of his videos can't be shown here on a school blog. Would you ever dress in a giant banana suit and dance around in a video for the internet? There are plenty of people who would do it simply for the attention; the satisfaction of the mass views that their videos receive. As you may notice from this video, some people go through extensive video-editing practices to make their videos look presentable (somewhat). Would you go through the trouble of taking hours to make a video look fancy? Discuss what you think of this video so that I may feel more confident about not being the only person to find this relatively funny.

Not Good Enough?



Is the past not good enough for the future? The tale we once knew as kids growing up seems twisted in the upcoming new movie, Red Riding Hood. Have you ever seen this movie trailer or commercials for the movie? Does the new twist excite you or scare you into not watching it? Some critics argue that the new movie seems too much like Twilight because it has the same director. What do you think after seeing the trailer now? Would you say that it is too much like Twilight? Does the new twist on the whole theme make you question what the younger generation is going to be watching as a childhood tale? I for one would not want my child growing up watching this twist on the tale.

Uhhhhmazing :-)
