BUZZ'S PUNCH AND THE ERL BUSINESS

Today in class we talked about renewable and nonrenewable resources and how they play a part in our environment. Then we took some notes on ERL (oil) and watched a video on one of the first astronaut's that flew to the moon. The video was on Buzz Aldrin; the man that went to the moon with Neil Armstrong. Neil Armstrong passed about five years ago and Buzz Aldrin is still living. To be honest, I never even knew Neil went with him. I mean I know he went with someone but I just didn't know his name. The other thing I didn't realize is that Buzz was such a player. He has had a total of three wives throughout his life. In the video, Mr. Schick showed us, there was a lot of cursing because the person filming was really dramatic. Of course, it isn't Mr. Schick's fault that there was cursing because he had never seen the video before; none of us had. In the video, Buzz was being confronted by an idiot who thought that Buzz going to the moon was a whole lie and it was just a conspiracy theory. Buzz put up with his crap for a while and then finally the man got into his face and Buzz lost it. I respect Buzz because he waited a long time before punching the man and that is just really awesome. I could never have been that patient. Plus the dude is like eighty-seven and he full force popped the guy in the mouth. Then he walked away like nothing happened... like he owned the joint; which he basically does. Then we went into the factbook on the CIA's website (probably not the CIA's actual website - obviously => they wouldn't disclose that information into the hands of the public.) Then we talked about some oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico about seven years ago. I think it was called the BP spill. I believe the CIA's website said that 4.9 million barrels or gallons... I don't know which, of oil were lost. 4.9 million gallons or barrels were dumped into the ocean. That means that a constant flow of oil seeped into the ocean for a number of days and nights straight. Then we talked about how oil is in plastic and that was about it so yeah.

            A Message to Garcia is a story that shows that you should just do your job when asked without making an excuse. Elbert Hubbard is basically saying that when you are asked to complete a certain task, don't backtalk or give sass, just do it. I think that he is right that you should do something when you are asked. I disagree with him when he says that he wants to "kick them with a boot" though. I think that you should just encourage them and get them motivated to do their job. If they fail to obey your orders then fire them. When they gather their things to leave, just tell them, "good luck getting a job when you refuse to work".             I think that you should be like Rowan. Rowan had to sneak behind enemy lines in Cuba to complete a risky job, to deliver a letter to the general. He didn't refuse, give up, or even give an excuse. He simply accepted the mission and went to work. Now a man that obeys an order to go behind enemy lines and risk h

Test Grade Finalized As of today, I officially got my first A on a human geo test. I know whoever is reading this is probably like wow it took long enough and yes, it did. I finally got an A on one of his tests instead of getting a thirty percent or a forty. I actually think that my highest was a sixty-nine and now this is my highest. I was actually really glad too because it raised my grade up and now I have all B-ees and two A-s I know that isn't good but I actually have really high B-ees. I am working really hard because I have to raise my gpa. Anyway, I got a ninety-two, not a high A, but an A. Basically we just went over the test during class and that will help for our midterm review and eventually the midterm.

It appears that I have forgotten to write my blog Friday or Saturday. Now I have no excuse and Socrates is probably shocked. Friday we talked about two maps and how they were different and which one was correct and which was incorrect. Then we watched a little film where people were trying to sell maps to people in the White House. It was all fake of course, then we continued to talk about the two maps. Class was mainly about the maps, except for the part in which the girls complained that it was too hot. The Bel Air versus John Carroll game was really fun too. The only thing was I didn't know if I wanted to be at the top of the bleachers or the bottom. If you look at it, if you sit at the top and the structure collapses you have the longest drop. But if you are at the bottom and somebody falls it is human dominoes and you get squished into a pancake. I decided to stand somewhere in the middle and I told my friends if this goes down like dominoes then jump and we will see what happ
