RE) not sure what to think about gaming

when reading Ming's  post about how he likes to play viddeo games totally made me wonder and think if thats what my brother thinks about them all the time. he plays them like everyday, im pretty sure its just fun for him to play games that are like online and can talk and play with friends at the same time. which i admitt is pretty awesome thing to do.
"It's reasonable and understandable because none of parents would want to see their kids to play games so much and ignore other kinds of stuff that's important to them"
even though i dont really play video games at all anymore, i can totally relate to what he said becasue i see how my brother plays and how it affects his relationship with our parents especialy our mother. it kinda sucks because when ever they have little arguments about how much time he spends playing on his system i feel torn about who to back up. i isntantly want to be at my brothers side rootiing for him, but its hard to when i dont understand why he likes it so much and does it all the time. i used to think he had 'no life' becasue of it but i have now realized that the way he socializes is just different then the way i do. i can imagine though itsprobably a relife from stressful situtations, just kinda living in a different world momentarily. i think its pretty cool how hes just so good at every game he plays, he used to say he want to be a game tester and get paid to try out games for fifferent companies, let me tell you he would be awesome at that.
ive tried playing on a team with him in like some military/sharp shooter game, yeah i sucked long story short.

This is a hard issue to to try and work out because of the fact that the agriculture that is getting sprayed with the pedicel killer is very important to the way of life for many people. I feel like this is one of those things that can be easily turned into a vicious cycle because they need the food to grow. Its one way that makes sure that they can eat it and that it is worth selling, by using pesticides. I know that a lot of the produce that we buy at grocery stores have produce that are give hormones and have been sprayed with pesdices, because that’s what makes money, “good” looking food that doesn’t look like it has been touched by bugs or anything. I know here it’s hard enough to get produce that isn’t contaminated by chemicals or other things like that because that would make them organic and more expensive. Lots of people tend not to eat fruits and vegetables as much as they should and having to pay more the good actually healthy ones for you doesn’t help the decision to eat better. I’m pretty sure there are laws here in the US about pesdices, like only certain ones are allowed. I think. But it sucks that in India the chemical levels are so high and I’m sure it’s frustrating because there is little that people can do right away. Like most problems it seems, there isn’t a quick fix that can last and be beneficial.

(FR ) Blog Posts

For my free post im going to write about how I truely and honestly do  not like writing posts on blogger. Its not that I don’t like blogger its self, I just don’t like typing and writing. The first thing I thought of when mr. sutherland said that we have to write posts was, im not gona do them. It takes up way to much of my time I don’t like it I could be doing other things, like homework for other classes. I don’t like the curent events, that’s probably my least favorite out of the three types of weekly posts.
I don’t know how to why the curent events arent my favorite they just arent. Like most of the news thing dont have anything to do with something I, as a high school student in alameda, should be concerned with. like most of the time i have to froce myself to write 250 words on something i dont care about. i know that sounds horrible and ignorant, but i cant help it cause thats how i feel. I feel like writing three posts a week isnt helping my writing because its so unpersonal. It used to be teachers telling you and correcting your writing right next to you. The posts to me are uncessary and don’t help me learn. i havent noticed any changes because i dont like to write so the blog posts are more like a chore and after they are done i dont pay attention to them. why would you look back and try to analyze something you didnt even want to write in the first place.?
I also don’t think it’s a good idea for the teachers to have students post things online. It just seams like too big of a hasel to make instruction and make sure all of your students know what to do and keep tract of who is doing them and how to give grades for them. It takes for ever to read all the posts and even longer to reply to some of them. So much stress just over blog posts.
