Blog about the 8.12 assignment

Game 5 of the World Series, Matt Harvey was facing the Royals in a must win game for the Mets. This picture was taken after he got the final out in the 8th inning, 3 outs away from advancing to a game 6. It was one of the greatest pitching performances I have ever witnessed. The next inning the crowd was so crazy chanting "HARVEY HARVEY HARVEY!" that against the managers wishes Matt ran back out there, and unfortunately lost the shutout he was throwing. Which led to the Royals taking the lead and winning the World Series. This picture to me, shows that even though these guys make so much money they too are human and show emotion. Matt was purely dominate that night and if I could ever pick a game to attend, it would be this one. To experience that pure, raw outburst of emotion from my idol would have been the greatest moment of my life.

Editing an existing Blog post to accommodate different characters

Today’s blog post is to edit one of my existing blog posts, exchanging the main characters for monsters. The monsters in the updated post are snow monsters from Sweden, and there voyaging toward a new life in Kentucky. Fortunately, their favorite food is fried chicken.

            The people in the picture are snow monsters, who are fleeing their homes in search of a better life and new opportunities. When the picture was taken, the scary snowmen were huddled around a campfire discussing what challenges they are going face and hopefully they don’t melt. Their village was destroyed by south pole elf’s, who unlike Santa’s elf’s were real bastards. It was determined that the elf’s boiled and inhaled the fumes of Clorox bleach mixed with cocoa powder. The scary snowmen were terrified, but they knew what they had to do, they took there carrot noses and headed out toward the sunny Kentucky weather. Along the way, they’ve been meeting new friends who also are in search of new opportunities. They’re headed to this wonderful place, the state of Kentucky. Much like Olaf from Frozen, (although they hate that comparison, its seen as an insult to be compared to a ridiculous singing/dancing/talking snowman) they cannot wait to be in the warm sun, safely tucked away into a new life, hidden from the drugged south pole elf’s.

            Kentucky is far away, and papa scary snowman flags down an ice cream truck. After killing the driver and taking his sunglasses the scary snow people file into the truck and continue their journey south. The ice cream truck is perfect for the family! Nice and cold in there. No one melts today!

            Finally, they make it to Kentucky! This big event known as the Kentucky Derby is happening later that afternoon so the scary snow people decide they are going to attend. They get their tickets, they get their chicken and they proceed to their seats. They met a man named Carminutez, and Carminutez is a real SOB. The middle scary snowman son, Bruno gets into a fight with Carminutez, who proceeds to push the family onto the hot track, that’s being directly hit by the sun, and they melt and die. 

The Story about the people!

Writing a story based on the picture

            The people in the pictures are fleeing their homes in search of a better life and new opportunities. When the picture was taken, everyone was crowded around a campfire discussing what personal challenges they face and hopefully together they can overcome them. Their village was destroyed by crazy giraffes that ran in out of nowhere and destroyed everything. It was determined that the Giraffes consumed a shit ton of cocaine, probably mistaken it for powdered sugar they like on their morning pancakes. The people were terrified, but they knew what they had to do, they took whatever they could carry in a knapsack and headed out toward a new life. Along the way, they’ve been meeting new friends who also are in search of new opportunities. They’re headed to this wonderful place (HAHAH JOKES ON THEM) they’ve heard about, Cleveland Ohio.

            Cleveland is not much further away. By the next night, they’d be there, in that glorious place. But they also don’t know what to expect. Coming from the depths of Chattanooga Tennessee, they have limited skills. The usual, hunt, fish, they can do all the common redneck activities. Going to a big city they are worried about how quickly they can adapt to and how to be a good contributing citizen to society.

            What happens next is extraordinary. They make it to Cleveland! First thing that happens? They walk while traffic has a green light, they all get run over and die.

The Chair Poem

Chair Poem

By: Bryan Kolasa

The chair over there, is a sturdy chair

What’s the importance of the chair?

The chair is there to hold you up

The chair is there to hold you high

The chair is like love

Always there to support you

Always there to boost you 

Garbology

Hey Guys,

Tonight’s blog is about Garbology, and how we can perceive people through the study of their garbage. Garbology is the study of society or culture by examining and analyzing its refuse. What I am going to do is write a character sketch by describing the contents of the waste basket belonging to a character I makeup.

·         An old magazine

·         Half empty water bottles

·         Tissues

·         Paper plates

·          Fast food wrappers

·         Old assignments

With the help of some friends, I tried to describe the typical waste basket of a college student.
