Last Post for MM352

I just did a post about 30 seconds ago but this is the last one so I might as well get it over with. Winter term was pretty intense for me. Its the first time I've been living on my own, with a part time job and full time school. I've just been trying to stay afloat with grades, money and relationships... it was tough but I pulled it off alright. I'll be ready for next term... especially after my 5 days of vacation I've got coming up! I'm going home to party it up, fish, longboard and EAT FOOOOD! My mom is the best cook in the world, not even joking.

Well Im gonna start relaxing now.............................................................................................................

CopyRIGHT

Lately copyright has been a main focus for this class so I thought it would be necessary to post a blog about it. I found an article about the latest controversy with YouTube. It really is a huge debate, just as big as the napster ordeal, if not bigger. Should we be allowed to post video clips of movies or television shows for free online? I believe that it does violate copyright, but does it really hurt their profits? Its basically free advertising. I personally am not so affected because I have yet to post or watch a clip from a movie or television show on YouTube. But just the fact that they are trying taking away something fun makes me cry :(

Flying Hawk!

Steven Hawking is preparing for space! He is set to jet in a zero gravity plane in hopes that he will actually be able to make it to space by 2009. I think it would be awesome if he was able to go to space.

ENERGY!!

So I told myself that I would never rely on caffein to stay awake but the past 2 terms I have found myself with a cup of joe, an amp, or a mt. Dew to keep my motor running late into the night due to procrastination. I feel that I need it sometimes and I think Its time I come out and admit that I really really like caffein. It definately keeps you awake but it doesnt elevate your concentration. Im reading about a new drug that keep syou awake and improves your concentration. Its likely to become a new trend or something... goodbye starbucks! Hello ENERGO!

Gaming

God of War 2 has been released for the PS2! So far it has recieved excellent reviews and is expected to be a high seller considering the reputation of the first God of War. I have yet to play either of the games but its been on the tip of mind for some time now. The ariticle goes on how this is the best action game ever made on any console including the next generation consoles. This game will ensure that the PS2 continues to sell. I can't wait...

Hip Hop

I found this video of mc Twalib Kweli on YouTube. I don't listen to hip hop alot but I used to be a big fan of his music and still am. This song has a good beat, positive message to it (if you can understand what he's saying) and the video is awesome. I think Kroy has done some video editing similar to this... Check it out!

More Participation

This is a sweet idea from Jeep and Marvel Comics. A comic is under development and all the art will be posted progressively on the website and if you register you can comment and give suggestions on the story and characters. This makes you part of the development process. I think its a really cool idea... plus if they use you're idea you can win a Jeep Patriot! Woot Woot! Now thats participatory advertising.
