What I ate today.

Today, for breakfast, I ate roast beef, mashed potatoes, and gravy with mushrooms. My mom cooked it for me and it tasted really good. The roast beef came from a cow. The mashed potatoes were made with flakes, eggs, and milk. The gravy came from a can, from my cabinet, from the store, on the shelf. The mushrooms were bought at the store in the fruit/vegetable section.

For lunch, I drove to Wendy's before I came to school. I ordered a number one. It came with Dr. Pepper, Cheeseburger, and french fries. The Dr. Pepper came from a soda fountain where syrup is added to clear soda. The burger from the cheese burger came from a cow, and the slice of cheese came from a big block of cheese. The french fries came from a bag, from the refrigerator, from a potato.

I ate that for breakfast, because roast beef is my favorite. Nothing beats having roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy, except having corn too (the corn went bad, so there was none). I ate Wendy's before school, because I looked at my schedule and thought, "Wow, that's a long class. I better eat." So I went to Wendy's, because they're FAST, or at least the one I go to. I don't know if they precooked it or something, but its warm and fast. That's all that really matters to me.

I do think about what I've been eating lately, because I am going BROKE off of fast food. I think all of my money goes to fast food. Also, this food makes me fat, so I really need to stop eating it. That is why I'm giving up fast food for Lent, but for now, I'm going to enjoy it while I still can.

MARK DION

Mark Dion is very unique as an artist. His art usually consists of work that is rational and irrational, which makes people think more. I feel that images can be more interesting if the photographer does it in such a way that make you jog your memory. The garden in one of his photos was not the kind of garden that anyone would generally call a garden. To me, it looked more like a swamp or shrub from Jurassic park. To take a picture of it is not something I would think of doing. I think that the way he took the picture was great though. It shows the depth within the photo, as well as how big the mound in the front is. The angle of choice complimented the garden well. If I wouldn't think of taking a picture of the whole row, but rather a closer shot. His idea and style has opened my eyes more to newer things.

A Lake of Pure Sunshine- Scott Calhoun

Scott Calhoun writes blogs similar to the way I write. Although he writes much longer on his topics that I would, his style is very easy to read. He didn't use too many big words, it wasn't very boring, and it went straight to the point.

This reminded me of when I took a communication style survey during an officer retreat for a club called, Jam Control. Through this survey, it helped the officers realize what kind of communication style we had: Directive, Spiritual, Considerate, and Systematic. My results for my communication style is Systematic. I tend to be straight to the point and I don't really like to say more than I have to, if I don't need to. Basically, making things harder than they need to be is far from one of my life priorities.

This is why I like Calhoun's blogs. I really hate reading things that have too many big words. They feel too overpowering just for a blog. I feel that formal writing is when big words come in handy, rather than casual writing. When you can't understand half of the words in a blog, I feel that it is a pain in the butt to read. Calhoun's blogs, on the other hand, wasn't so difficult. It didn't make me bored, nor did i struggle to read it. This is why I think Calhoun's blogs are a good example for an outline for my own blogging.
