Reality TV has become a main media source for trash TV. Shows like Jersey Shore, and Here comes Honey Boo Boo, are just a couple of examples that have ruined reality TV's image. It's not surprising that it is offensive, with Jersey Shore's excessive drinking and Here comes Honey Boo Boo's borderline child abuse and extremely unhealthy life style, they offend and supposedly entertain many. But even with all of it's faults, Reality TV has some redeeming qualities, American Idol, The Biggest Loser, and other shows in the same group show that people can achieve their dreams through hard work, and the shows give the contestants help with their goals, whether it be by getting them noticed by music executives, or losing weight, these shows help keep the entire genre afloat on the morality level, while the other shows keep it afloat on the ratings level in the kind of, the car wreck that you can't look away from kind of way.

intro redo

My hobbies and interests definitely include paint-balling, running cross country and track, and walking and playing with my friends, i also like to hang out with my friends and play x-box. My favorite book is a book about a dog handler and his dog during the Vietnam war, i don't remember the name of the book but it was really good and i would recommend it to anyone who can handle the violence. My goal is to get through this year and the next three with good enough grades and to do enough activities to help me get a scholarship to West Point. I don't have any quotes that i remember or inspire me maybe just one by MLK Jr. "a man that is not willing to die for something is not fit to live". That's it.

First blog post

First blog post, don't really know what to write about since this is for English class. Don't see how this is supposed to help me in English, just doing it cause the teacher said to and I want a good grade. I don't really see why English is a required course for high school, I've taken this for 10 years straight so I think that it should be an elective for people who want to be writers or want to get better at typing or writing, it's just another grade for me to worry about. Anyway I don't how much longer this is supposed to be, I'll go for a little longer since I don't have a book to read in class so this is my only way to kill time. It's a short day anyway. Skid row is an underrated band, they have some bad songs but their one of those bands that have mediocre music that noone knows about, even though they have a few top of the charts hits, like 18 and life for example. Quiet riot is almost the same way, except most if not all of their songs are great, but they were only popular for a year or two, so either someone OD'ed, or they got lazy and decided to ride the fame train for as long as they can and see how much money they can come out with. They were like most of today's artists, there is are a few super stars that everyone know about, and have been around for a while, but they are minuscule compared to the rest of the artists around, that resemble bottle rockets in the way that they quickly rise to the too and explode due to a major success with a single or in some rare occasions a full album, but then they have a quick decline to rock bottom and aren't heard about until they are found in a dumpster overdosed on all sorts of narcotics. I think that this is enough for now, but I have nothing to do in the meantime so ill just keep the screen on and listen to music. Last dance for Mary Jane is a great song. Tom Clancy an the Heartbreakers are a pretty good band, their obviously not from this millennium since their good, music today is always either terrible or mediocre, save for the one a year hit single, but the artist probobly didn't even write it, then they think that they can write a song since we all say their amazing, then the next song comes out and we realize they suck and quickly forget about them. The Walking Dead is an amazing show, it somehow is able to balance the right amount of inter-character drama and zombies. Michael Bublé is a great artist, he's new but he follows in the footsteps of the great big band singers like Sonatra. His best song has to be "I'm feelin good" it's been done by many artists in the past but he gets it right by adding just the right amount of his Sinatra flair and it comes out amazing.
