So due to a technical issue I'm not able to e-mail this in to my instructor. My ASU e-mail is not letting me send anything out as usual and my main e-mail keeps returning things 'recipient not found'. Oh well onto reflecting:
I personally found writing a blog to be one of the most annoying and tedious things to do for a class. It took something I really enjoy, journaling, and turned it into the nagging incessantly boring semester long project. Working on this blog has frustrated me to no end, but that's what school is good for...so no real surprise.
All I've learned about myself as a writer is that I love to rant. Stream of consciousness writing is also where I seem to be. I just like sitting down and typing til I seem to stop typing with no real thoughts as to what I'm saying or the way in which I'm saying it. Honestly this isn't news to me, but this semester further proved my liking of it.
Honestly the only other thing I can say of blogging is that I'm not a fan. I want to continue this blog, because it gives me an outlet to vent..but honestly I could just yell at my friends if i need to do that. So what really is the point?

Reflecting: Blog Finale
Well so ends another semester. Now its time to recap my personal favorite blog posts from this semester in barely any particular order:
10. Reflecting: Blog Finale - Yes I'm gonna go out on a limb and already assume that this will be one of my best posts. Why you ask? Because I love lists! It allows the most freedom to rant without actually directly going on a rant. I feel that this post will sum up just about all my feelings about my writings related to this class in a thorough succinct way.
9. Change is a good thing? - I'm a big fan of the prompt for this post. The idea was to post on something about how the internet and internet related things have changed. For this post I just decided to discuss my memories of using the internet as a child and the development of it as a medium over time. I mostly like this post because I felt it was a bit thought provoking and fairly well written.
8. Star Tours - This was a more recent post, but the first thing I posted this whole semester that wasn't a rant or a review of something. The news story I read just hit a nerve and I felt the need to discuss it. This post is a good example of how I feel a blog post should look, and one of my favorite that I've written.
7. Top 5 Movies - As previously mentioned, I love lists! This was just an enjoyable post to make because it allowed me to not just discuss things I enjoy, but to also think about and wonder why it was that I did enjoy them. I recently went back as well and added in links to the post to provide actual reference to what I am talking about.
6. Top 5 Bands - I made this and the previous post nearly back to back, but I still like them both. This post was well written and about something I care about greatly, music. It allowed me to think about what bands have affected me as I've gotten older and think about the influence this has had on my writing as of late. I recently edited this post as well to add reference links into it.
5. To shreds you say... - My first blog post. How could I not put this here. Honestly my main liking of this post is the title. It's my favorite line from my favorite show, Futurama. The post itself is pretty basic, which is no surprise seeing as I was rushing to get it posted by the required deadline. Not the best way to start the semester, but definitely an amusing one. The post itself is fairly well written, and is good at describing what I had hoped my semester of writing would look like.
4. Of In-game Events - One of my favorite posts of the semester. I made a description for this blog saying I'd be discussing stuff related to gaming, namely the game World of Warcraft, but neglected to really follow through. Well this post allowed me to discuss the game, but also to discuss my addiction to it. It was an interesting post that I spent a lot of time on, and even came back to a few times to edit things and try to make it look a bit nicer. I'm very proud of this one.
3. Citizen Journalists - I personally like this blog more for the subject matter than the actual post I made. The idea of citizen journalists had fascinated me for some time and not surprisingly there was an assignment to write about them since their main medium tends to be blogs and such. The post wasn't my most developed, but I like the way it turned out anyways.
2. Visual Blogs-Week 2 - I like this post most of all my class related posts because I wrote it more like my own style rather than that of the style I typically use for school writings. I bitched at the beginning about how ASU's crappy internet and web-related utilities and then continued on to discuss how I planned to visually represent my blog. All in all it was an enjoyable post and a nice way to truly start my blogging experience.
1. Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder - My favorite post! I love writing reviews. I used to do them all the time on my first website, and it still happens to be one of my favorite styles of writing. This was my first attempt to include a picture into my post as well as to really focus in on the topic I was writing about. This just happens to be my favorite post because it relates to Futurama, something I truly love and enjoy.
Well that is all for this semester of blogging. My plan is to continue to maintain this blog, but who knows if i will. Only time will tell...

Star Tours
So I recently came across an article that was discussing the plan to revamp the old Star Tours ride at both Disneyland and Disney World. I'm both excited and irritated about this. On one hand it is great to see a classic ride get re-done, plus the idea of anything new in Star Wars just makes me smile like nothing else in the world can. The problem is that it was a huge part of my childhood.
I still have memories of being a small kid and having my Dad drag me on the ride while I was nearly kicking and screaming, only to get off just before the ride started. This went on at least another two times before I was willing to sit somewhat quiet, and somewhat still. I think we ultimately went on to ride the magnificent ride another 20 or so times in a row before I could be stopped.
It's continued to be one of my all-time favorite rides, despite the fact that I have not just the video but all the movements of the "shuttle" memorized. It doesn't provide even the slightest amount of thrills anymore, hell it tends to cause me such bad back and neck pain that I can barely keep the tears out of my eyes the rest of the day. But the memories of my childhood and my love of Star Wars just keeps me coming back time and time again.
All-in-all I think the revamp of the ride was a long time coming, but I can't help feel nervous that it just will ruin the ride for me. All I know is that I need to get out to Disneyland and Disney World ASAP before the rides are gone forever...who want's to go with? :)

Top 5 Movies
So thought I'd make a list here of my favorite movies. At least seemed like a thing to do at the time:
5. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - How could I not feature this movie on my Top 5 list? This was my favorite movie of my childhood by and far. I can actually say that for around 8 years of my life I watched this movie nearly every single night before going to bed. It is one of the funniest classic 80's comedies by and far. Plus it features the greatest comedian of all time, George Carlin.
4. Star Wars - I'm just going to list the entire series here. A New Hope and Revenge of the Sith both tie for my favorite of the saga, but the series as a whole is so instrumental in my life that I couldn't help but include the entire series on this list. Now seeing as I live so much of my life based around these movies, it might be surprising they're not in a higher place, but that doesn't mean I love them any less.
3. The Crow - This was my first rated R movie, and persists to be amongst my favorite movies of all time. On my first viewing at the age of 9 I continued to watch it around 3-4 times in a row simply due to the bloodiness and the small amount of nudity. As I got older though I began to love the brutal imagery and darkness of it. The acting in it as well was just amazing, which makes it all the more sad that Brandon Lee died filming the movie.
2. Mallrats - This was an easy choice to have up here. I've seen the movie over a 100 times at least....and that's just during this past week. I have the whole movie memorized from the music down to every line in it. Jason Lee's character of Brody just resonates as my favorite character in any movie ever, despite Jason Lee's own insanity. The movie all together is just one of my favorite things of all time, and is most assuredly my favorite Kevin Smith movie.
1. Die Hard - After many years of ignoring my love for this movie, it dawned on me not to long ago just how much I love it. For years now I've made it my tradition to watch it on Xmas each and every year and I truly love everything about it. The music, the visuals, the acting...everything in the movie is just absolutely amazing.

Joke Time
So I thought I'd post a favorite joke of mine from when I was a kid. I actually read it once on a forum when I was like 10-11 and have tried to remember it ever since. Luckily a friend of mine came across it and mailed it to me recently without even knowing I had been searching for it for so long. Some might find it innapropriate, but to each their own....Anyways here it is:
Voodoo Dick
There was this businessman who was getting ready to go on a long business trip. He knew his wife was a flirtatious sort, so he thought he'd try to get her something to keep her occupied while he was gone, because he didn't much like the idea of her screwing someone else.
So he went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around. He thought about a life-sized sex doll, but that was too close to another man for him. He was browsing through the dildos, looking for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter. He explained his situation, the old man "Well, I don't really know of anything that will do the trick. We have vibrating dildos, special attachments, and so on, but I don't know of anything that will keep her occupied for weeks, except..." and he stopped."
"Except what?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"C'mon, tell me ! I need something!"
"Well, sir, I don't usually mention this, but there is the 'voodoo dick.'"
"So what's up with this voodoo dick?" the businessman asked.
The old man reached under the counter, and pulled out an old wooden box, carved with strange symbols. He opened it, and there lay a very ordinary-looking dildo. The businessman laughed, and said "Big fucking deal. It looks like every other dildo in this shop!"
"Ahh, but you haven't seen what it'll do yet."
He pointed to a door and said "Voodoo dick, the door."
The voodoo dick rose out of its box, darted over to the door, and started screwing the keyhole. The whole door shook with the vibrations, and a crack developed down the middle.
Before the door could split, the old man said "Voodoo dick, get back in your box!"
The voodoo dick stopped, floated back to the box and lay there, quiescent once more.
Businessman "I'll take it!"
The old man resisted, saying "it wasn't for sale", but he finally surrendered to $700 in cash. The guy took it home to his wife, told her it was a special dildo and that to use it, all she had to do was say...
"Voodoo dick, my pussy."
He left for his trip satisfied that things would be fine while he was gone.
After he'd been gone a few days, the wife was unbearably horny. She thought of several people who would willingly satisfy her, but then she remembered the voodoo dick. She got it out, and said "Voodoo dick, my pussy!" The voodoo dick shot to her crotch and started pumping. It was great, like nothing she'd ever experienced before.
After three orgasms, she decided she'd had enough, and tried to pull it out, but it was stuck in her, still thrusting. She tried and tried to get it out, but nothing worked. Her husband had forgot to tell her how to shut it off. So she decided to go to the hospital to see if they could help. She put her clothes on, got in the car and started to drive to the hospital, quivering with every thrust of the dildo On the way, another orgasm nearly made her swerve off the road, and she was pulled over by a policeman. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she'd had to drink. Gasping and twitching, she explained that she hadn't been drinking, but that a voodoo dick was stuck in her pussy, and wouldn't stop screwing.
The officer looked at her for a second, and then said: "
Yea, right. Voodoo dick, my ass!"

Of Descriptions
So I was sitting and trying to think of something write just now when it dawned on me that in the very description of my blog there is a flaw. I made a solemn promise of what would appear in my posts at least somewhat regularly, and in that I failed.
Where is information on Star Wars?
Where is something related to World of Warcraft?
What of the narcoleptic monkeys of the world?
I can't believe I made such a fundamental error in my posting as to forget to talk about what it is that I promised to talk about....also grammar...wow that sentence was non-sensical.
