#Swag

Hey guys I'm Cole, some of my closer friends call me Xena (that's a story for another time.) Anyway it's weird I've had a similar problem introducing myself as well, probably because of this new retainer I have to have for a while. Most of my conversations go like this:
Me: Hey.
Mom: I'm sorry who are you again?
Me: It's me, Cole.
Mom: Colt?
Me: COLE.
Mom: You're cold?
Me: No, like the rock!
Mom: Dwayne?
So you see, that can be a tad annoying at times.
It's funny that the closer and closer we get to college, my career of choice keeps seeming to change. I feel like I should go ahead and just ask a magic eight ball what it thinks. I started out with something in criminal justice, but I started to realize that the positioning is very random and I would have to spend time traveling away from my future family. Not to mention that there is a whole lot more desk work than we see on CSI. Now I seem to be leaning something more in the medical field. Hey, but whatever I do I am going to make sure I enjoy it, because after working 12-16 hour days in the summer I didn't know what I would do if I hated my job.


In my spare time I train little monkeys to ride seeing-eye dogs. Below you can see my latest project, Rico, train for the WDRMWAHTBWLHC or (World Dog Riding Monkeys Who Also Happen To Be Wearing Little Hats Championship.) It's actually showing on ESPN 12 so be sure to tune in!

So it's my turn now.

Howdy,

I’m Matthew Logsdon.  I grew up with Matt but when I moved to Lexington and I’d introduce myself I apparently had a speech disorder ‘cause people couldn’t get it right:

Me: Hey

Other Person: Hey

M: I’m Matt.

O: Mac?

M: No, Matt

O: Oh Max

M: No, Matt

O: ??

M: Matthew

O: Oh, I get it Matt

M: No, Matthew’s fine

So I now go by Matthew but a few of my very best friends will sometimes call me Mattie or Malibu (that’s a whole nother not so interesting story).  To you folk I’ll probably be Mr. Logsdon – perhaps even for the rest of your life.  I recently went into Starbucks and a former student was my barista and she’s like 25 calling me Mr. Logsdon.  Oh well.

         

I have a few peak-my-geek-meter activities and right now it’s Game of Thrones.  I watched the HBO series and was blown away and am now reading the books (when I just can’t take reading essays any longer); but I’m also a film and technology fanatic – it’s really quite sad actually – but that’s why last summer I turned my basement into a home theatre with a 100-inch-screen-stadium-seating-7.1-surround-sound-awesomeness.  The added benefit is that my PS3 games are quite nice when the characters are nearly life size – oh yeah!  

All the fun and games aside, I hope to provide (ok, yea, here’s the “teacher” moment) for you an academic space that allows you the freedom to experiment with your writing/thinking as you explore alternatives to the standard structures you’ve come to already master.  Then with these skills absolutely shred the AP test.  Annihilate it.  Make it your little potty-trained puppy dog.  This is 250 words – so 150 ain’t so bad.  Oh here's my fav website www.aintitcoolnews.com.

Is this how I post to assignment one?

Hello, I'm Nicolas S. Pearson, a reader of comic books and casual player of videogames, and this is actually the second time I've tried to make a blog with the first one ending with me rather discouraged; such makes one realize that the internets is a cruel place. But, its also has great websites including YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.. Currently, youtube is allowing me to listen to the Bee Gees. I've spent most of the day listening to music on youtube in retrospect, but tomorrow I'll probably spend more time reading comics. I love reading comics; they’re filled art and clever drama that can’t be easily depicted in a book, and action that belongs in a cartoon or a high budget movie. If I had the opportunity I’d definitely want to spend my life writing the plots for comics. Other future careers I would consider would be in video games or engineering; basically I’d prefer a job where I can produce a recognizable and memorable product.
