The Escapist

The Escapist
Frank Perry is an institutionalized convict twelve years into a life sentence without parole. When his estranged daughter falls ill, he is determined he make peace with her before it's too late. He develops an ingenious escape plan, and recruits a dysfunctional band of escapists - misfits with a mutual dislike for one other but united by their desire to escape their hell hole of an existence. Much of the action takes place within the tunnels, sewers and underground rivers of subterranean London.

It is a really good movie. At first it is hard to understand whats going on, but within the next hour of watching it its just great. It is only one hour and thirty minutes long that is well worth it. I don't want to divulged into too much details but it is riveting and it is just the way the director filmed it, was just too good.

Black Cat Readers Response

The Black Cat is about a man and his wife living in an apartment with their black cat as a pet. The story is mainly focused on the connection between the man and the cat. The man particularly liked the cat and he alone took care of it. He was the only one to nurture and have a nice and pleasant connection with the cat. Then things start to turn for the worse. The man becomes mad. He comes home late drunk and in a stupor. He and his wife fight and he become angered a lot. He takes out his aggression on the cat. First he messes with its eyes and then physically attacks the cat. The cat still liked him before he was abused. The cat use to crawl around his legs and like the man. Then after he was abused the cat became scared. He became sad and sorrowful about doing it. Sorrow then turned to irritation which turned into perverseness. Then one day the man killed the cat by hanging it. His house caught on fire and on a wall he saw a big picture of the cat he killed. He felt remorse for the cat. He started going into depressions and soon was in despair. He had no wealth, no house, and no loving cat. He became haunted by a ghostly figure of his beloved cat. He then meets a white cat that looked like his black cat. He then breeds hatred to this cat. He tries to kill it, but his wife intervenes. This leads him to killing his wife and eventually killing the cat altogether. He then conceals his dead wife in the basement wall. Police come and investigate. A purr comes from the wall which the tomb of his wife was. The police then search the wall and uncover the dead wife and the missing cat. The man is then doomed by the cat and then suffers.

Alternative hip hop

Alternative Rap refers to Hip-Hop groups that refuse to conform to any of the traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangsta, bass, hardcore, and party rap. Instead, they blur genres - drawing from funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul and reggae.

First mom and dad didn't want me to come here, they wanted me to be just
like them...respectable, hard working, a little house, a family
They drove me crazy with their god damn war grandma, you know mom..
I guess i've always been sheltered and special, I just wanted to be
anonymous, like everybody else, do my share for my country, live up for what
my dad did in first war, and dad did in second, well ... here I am ..
anonymous all right, with guys, nobody really cares about me, they come from
the end of the line most of them, small towns you never heard of, most of
them got nothing, they're poor, they're the unwanted, got the fighting first
for society and their freedom, it's weird isn't it? They're the best I've
ever seen grandma, the heart and soul..

A book to read.

Eldest is a book I enjoyed. It is the second book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance series. It is the book after Eragon and the best out of the three out there. The last book is called Brisingr which I am unfortunately still reading. It takes place after Eragon is healed after getting majorly hurt. He goes off to train and become stronger with the Elves. His back gets healed and he made mistakes and learns from it. Then he gets into a big fight with the Varden. He finds out important things and in the end something happens. I know its pretty vague summary, but I don't want to divulge anything. The book is really great and well worth the time.

jokes

So I happened to be on my favorite website and found these two awesome jokes.

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

....and this one...

Good, Better, Best A Must Read
Good

A Bloomington, IL policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD.' The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)


BETTER

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Peoria, IL. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.


BEST

A young woman was pulled over for speeding. An Illinois State Trooper walked to her car window and flipped open his ticket book. She said, 'I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball.' He replied, 'Illinois State Troopers don't have balls.' There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

Classical Music

I know most people don't like classical music, but I bet everyone has heard it and enjoyed it without knowing. Like in a certain Disney movie, Fantasia. Well, actually, a lot of movies have been influenced by the sounds of classical music whether from Bach or Beethoven or Mozart or Tchaikovsky to name a few.

The Imperial Walk is the most renowned bit of music that everyone knows. It sounds a lot like Chopin's "Funeral March".

Define Me!

After many minutes searching on Dictionary.com for the right word to define me, I figured this one suits me the best; circumlocution.
circumlocution \sir-kuhm-loh-KYOO-shuhn\, noun:
The use of many words to express an idea that might be expressed by few; indirect or roundabout language. Now, we are going to try vis medicatrix naturae* during your final days in the hospital.
*. . . the healing power of nature.

I explain myself as circumlocution because I speak that way often when I haven't thought things through, most of the time. Also, I like not to be straightforward and actually go the longest way to explain any idea for fun. The definition is that the suffix circum- means around and -locution means to express a phrase. To me it means that its explaining something the longest way because the shortest way is unavailable at that moment.

Today in History!

I am in AP World History. We learn a lot faster and more things briefly. Today I learned about the British Empire around the 1800's. The British Empire is the largest empire solely due to the fact that they expanded all over the world and had certain areas around the world. They were in the Pacific with the Falkland Islands. They were in Oceania with New Zealand and parts of Australia. They were in Asia with Fuji, Hong Kong, and Singapore. They were in Indian Ocean with India and Malta. They were in Africa with Suez Canal, Uganda, and Kenya. They were in the Americas with the British Guinea (Guyana) and Canada. With such control over the world, I learned that the British had ties to pretty much everything and could effectively contact and control most of their land. They also started global migration which is key to the mixing of cultures and to economies of many different countries. This allowed Britain to become powerful. With influences on all continents, they had the ability to trade within the continent then from there they can send it to Great Britain which boosts the economy. Except for the fact that they lost the America's(YAY!), Britain pretty much had a piece of everything.

Red part of the map was under British control.

Today in Math!

Well today in math I actually listened. I am in Algebra II/Trigonometry and the Chapter we are studying is Analytic Trigonometry or in other terms; using sine, cosine, and tangent (and their inverses) to find functions, and evaluate to find certain terms.
Today we did 7.4 which is using sum and difference formulas of sine, cosine, and tangent to find the exact value of trigonometric functions of specified angles.
The formulas are:
sin(u+v)=sinucosv + cosusinv
sin(u-v)=sinucosv - cosusinv
cos(u+v)=cosucosv - sinusinv
cos(u-v)=cosucosv + sinusinv
tan(u+v)=(tanu + tanv)/(1 - tanutanv)
tan(u-v)=(tanu - tanv)/(1 + tanutanv)
Example:
cos75=cos(30 + 45) using the formula cos(u+v)=cosucosv - sinusinv, you input variables u and v
=cos30cos45 - sin30sin45 then find the values of the cosines and sines
=(√3/2)(√2/2)-(1/2)(√2/2) solve terms
=(√6-√2)/4

To find √3/2 and the other inputs we use the trigonometric table:


And that my friends, is what I learned today.

RAHZEL!! BEST BEAT BOXER!!

You try this and see how much fail you do.
awesome song haha hilarious too

SPORTS

Remember The Name - Fort Minor
I love basketball. I play football, soccer, volleyball, and other miscellaneous sports too. Basketball is my number one sport. I've only played for about a year and a half of school basketball but tried out once in middle school but wasn't really trying. I don't put my all everytime I play basketball because I didn't have an instance to. I just play for fun with friends and in p.e. is just for fun. I like to watch professional basketball aka the NBA. There is the D-League but that's for people who need to develop their skills better. I have no favorite player, but have a favorite team; the LA Lakers! I've always been a Lakers fan since the day I was born. My dad was a lakers fan and growing up in the outskirts of LA, everybody was a Laker fan. I liked Shaq and Penny Hardaway in Orlando, but Lakers were still my favorite. It hurt when Lakers didn't win four in a row, but there was turmoil around that time with Kobe and Shaq not on the same page and Kobe's alleged "rape". After that time I stopped with the NBA, it was just too much hurt for the Lakers. Now after losing against the Celtics last year, they can win a billion in a row! They can't be stopped. They have an All Star team! Forget Lebron and Mo Williams; forget Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, and Sam Cassell; forget AI, T. Prince, and Rashard Wallace.

Nothing competes against the definition of unstoppable; 1. Kobe Bryant 2. Pau Gasol 3. Lamar Odom 4. Derek Fisher 5. Andrew Bynum!

Perspective

Perspective is the point of view from one person. Everybody has their own point of view or their own opinion about certain objects. That is their perspective. Sometimes many arguements escalate or start from people screaming about their perspective on their view. That's ok if you want to fight about "things". Those fights can all be stopped if everyone understands each perspective. If you take into account someone elses point of view, then you would understand everything. No body understands everybody so nothing gets understood by the perspective of everybody. I believe if perspective is shown to everyone then nothing bad will occur, people will feel hurt and help for other people. But the downside is seeing too many perspectives at once or if the perspective is about a person who is really really not smart.
That is my blog.

Oooh lookie!

Hahaha madagascar 2 alakay


So i just watched horton hears a who.... and it was okay.. katie was the funniest part though
Heres a remix of katie.

Chapter 1

I come from a land down under. Just kidding. Here is a bit about me. I was born at a very young and tender age of 0, at a place not too far from here; maybe just about 268 miles or something like that away. My mother and father already bear two special little children of their own. Then on one frightful and eventful midnight they had a surprise. I decided to come out of my mother at 1:18 AM just to check up on things. I was born in a hospital which name I cannot recall, but it was in a California city named West Covina. Where all the asian people are now at. My first few years were very exciting except for the fact I cannot remember. For 2 years I lived in an area called Baldwin Park. After that my 5 year old brother and 10 year old sister introduced themselves. Well not really introduced but for the first time I can remember them. We went to a far place in the desert for vacation and all i remember was GIANT DINOSAURS!! and baby diapers. Not much happened between that point and up til kindergarten. Besides being taken care of by my grandmother and always walking to pick up my big brother from school. I was too smart for preschool. I remember watching BARNEY!! with my mother and playing with legos with my brother. He always said that i had a great imagination and would always tell me to make things whenever i would like to or not. I loved to eat! All day I would help my grandmother and eat. I remember we had difficult conversations because she couldn't understand english well and i couldnt understand tagalog well. One time she cooked french fries and i asked for ketchup and she couldnt understand me. I kept screaming KKKEEETTCCCHHHUUUUPPP, and she would say what do i need to catch up? The only bad part about my little years was that i was unable to pronounce my name properly. I could not say my r's. So whenever my teacher asked what my name was i said EWIK! I'M EWWWIIKK!!

The placebo effect

Have you ever wondered if mind can overpower the body?
I think most of the time you can stop pain or anything bad by thinking and convincing your brain that you stopped it and can move on. Sometimes, like a major event, I think you can stress reality and make what you think happened and what you think didn't happen real. If you believe something is the truth, can it be a lie?
Just how a lie detector doesn't necessarily say that what you said is a lie but it detects if your body has changed from its normal state any lie can be the truth.
Sometimes this can occur more often than you really think so. When someone close to you asks how are you, and you really aren't feeling well and you say that you are fine and smile about it are you deceiving yourself or your friend?
