No, your not entitled to your opinion blog

I disagree, because his point of view on all of this is to basically try to be right all of the time. Being right all the time isn't worth it. We gotta lose sometimes. Honestly, i kinda drudged my way through reading this because it was a great deal of nothing but boring to me. But, that's just my opinion. And apparently, i'm not entitled to it. If we weren't entitled to our opinions and acted on them, no American would be American , because if the colonists hadn't decided to rebel from Great Britain (being entitled to their own opinion to separate from them) there would've been no revolution, thus we would probably be a great big colony for England to this day. Just food for thought "Mr. Thinker"

Technology Blog- Halo


Halo- halo is a video game made only for the Xbox consoles. The original Halo Combat Evolved however, was also made for the p.c., but every game in this series since has been purely made for Xbox/Xbox360.  In the campaign of Halo-Halo 3, you assume the role of Spartan 117, a human enhanced in battle armor designed to help the UNSC (United Nations Space Corps) fend off the Alien race known as the Covenant. There are ring worlds, called "Halos", that the first 2 games revolve around. The Halos are super weapons, that were designed to eradicate all sentient life in a galaxy. The Covenant religiously believe that these Halo's are not a super weapon, but a path to a "Great Journey" were when all covenant go through, they believe themselves to become Gods. John (Spartan 117) with the help of Cortana (an Artificial Intelligence, also known as A.I.) must do all he can to stop the covenant from achieving the covenant goal of starting the "Great Journey", otherwise all of humanity is doomed.

A couple of my favorite famous people

Actors:

Chuck Norris- Most people know him from his role in Walker Texas Ranger as the protagonist character Cordell Walker. What most people don't know is his life story. He has written a book called "Against All Odds" which is his life story. It consists of the struggles he has faced and how he came to stardom and how he has faced life's adversities, against all odds. I would recommend this book to anyone, because we all may not have the same struggles, but all humans have to face adversity.

Bruce Lee- A man that has made a whole worldly impact through his life's work, but not just by acting in famous movies like Enter the Dragon or Way of the Dragon, but he has impacted through his philosophical studies as well. Unfortunately, he died of a brain aneurysm, living a young life up to the age of 32 in 1973. He was one of the all time greatest martial artists and probably would've been the greatest movie star ever had his life not been cut short.

Wierd day in the workplace

I actually do not have a job, but i have friends that do, so, im just gonna tell you about one time that my friend had a weird day on the job, but i was there for that weird day. My friend Erica that works at the gas station, usually has some pretty interesting customers and at times, some of them are scary, and you have to be aware for when they are around. There is a dude that's usually in town named "Tim" who is one of those guys we gotta look out for. Whats so bad about Tim you ask? Lets just say, the guy has alotta tattoos and he is skinny from his "familiarity" with drugs. Luckily the dude is kinda my short height, so i know i could take him if i needed to in case if he tried to stir up some trouble. Anyway, the story itself starts here. One night i am hanging out with Erica at the gas station, and its just the two of us, then Tim walks in the store to buy some stuff and he gets ready to checkout and starts flirting with Erica. But when i say flirt, he is using some vulgar language, so she is getting fairly nervous, and you know what i'm doing in the middle of all this? Being distracted by a football game. Erica tried desperately multiple times to make eye contact with me, but no woman dare come between a man and his watching a football game, lol just kidding. Unfortunately, she never got my attention, and eventually he stopped being vulgar and she basically got him to leave on her own. If i would've known all that was happening, I would've wiped the floor with his face and drug him outta the store from unconsciousness. But eventually, with police involvement, he came back the next day and apologized, So in the end, it was best that i didn't do anything, this time anyway.

College Football Predictions-Preseason and Week 6 changes

Before this college football season started, i had predictions for the winner of the Heisman Trophy and who would play for the National Championship. My preseason National Championship game would be played between Univeristy of South California and University of Oklahoma, which USC would win. Now looking in to week 6, i change my national championship picture to the game being played between the University of Alabama and University of Oregon, where Alabama wins it's 2nd straight National championship and The state of Alabama wins the last 4 straight National Championship games. Preseason, i had University of Wisconsin running back Montee Ball winning the Heisman by a rockslide, but now that Wisconsin is not playing well at all. I change my pick @ week 6 to be West Virginia's quarterback Geno Smith, who is an extremely talented quarterback that has accounted for 20 touchdowns, no interceptions, and we are only halfway through the season. Now with that being said, lets see if i get any of this right.
