entry #10 Thanksgiving Dinner and traditions

 

I enjoy thanksgiving dinner, but I personally like the traditions about it more and knowing what the purpose of this holiday is. The typically Thanksgiving meal includes turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, cranberry sauce, and finishing it off with some pumpkin pie; making it the most ok dinner and is overrated in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the meal, but to say that it is the best meal of the year is just to much. If it was really that great of a meal, why don’t people make it more then just one day out of the year. Most people only a make a turkey one day out of the year, even on Christmas or Easter when we gather with friends and family for a big meal. Then when you finish your plate, you are handed a slice of pumpkin pie, which in my opinion can only be eaten with a mountain of whip cream on top. At the end of the day the meal is good but to me it isn’t the best meal I eat the whole year.

My personal favorite things about Thanksgiving are being around my friends and family and the traditions that we typically do. I enjoy playing in the turkey bowl that we do with about thirty people at the park. I also enjoy watching the football games that are always on. In the end my favorite tradition is just being surrounded with the people that I love and care for. Thanksgiving isn't about the meal or watching football games it is about who you are doing those things with and spending time together with them.

    Hello Kyle a lot of people have different traditions now days depending on religion beliefs and culture, but you sir sure know the true meaning of Thanksgiving. As for the meals go I like to change it up every other year, so it doesn't feel like we eating the same meal every year.

Entry #5 Mayhem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-_cmXiBL4    I decided to pick this Allstate Mayhem commercial starring Dean Winters, as I personally can relate to this as my dad always tailgates other people when he drives. This commercial ad was obviously created so viewers would want to use Allstate Insurance, but they also want their viewers to come to   so they don’t have to worry about situations like the one in the ad. This ad may seem to be a super far stretched and made for a short little bit of humor during a commercial break but if you think about it how often do you have someone riding your rear end and you are just hoping and praying that they don’t hit you, I know I have had that more than once before. The ad's target audience is mainly adults as they are the ones who would be needing their insurance packages. The ad also uses a play on words with tailgating meaning riding on someone else’s rear end when driving, and also the party that takes place before a football game....

Entry #7 Fresh

There are many controversial topics going on right now. Some are more important than others but one that isn’t getting the national attention that it should is the industrialized food industry here in America. The documentary “Fresh” tries to show their viewers exactly what is happening in this industry right now and how little the public people really know about it. The tone throughout is mostly serious and sometimes hopeful when talking about potential solutions to this major issue. They interview with several local small farmers and talk about what they do differently at their farms compared to these massive factory farms when it comes to caring for animals, rotating crops, and not using pesticides on the produce. Some of the farmers talk about how much harder it is nowadays to compete with these massive operations and how some of them are just struggling to make it by while their competition is blowing right by them, even with a lower quality product. They also state facts about ...

Entry #3 the M!nt

  I had just finished eating Taco Bell with my friends, and the combination of the bean burrito, the Mtn Dew Baja Blast and the tacos I had, were not feeling so hot in both my stomach and my mouth as we continued on into our night. I needed some kind of pick me up to feel a little better. When I took the small little red tin out of my pocket, I could hear the other ones shaking and sliding around inside. I popped open the lid to see the snow like powder going everywhere, I moved away the wax paper to reveal what looks like to be a hundred of these small little white pills in the tin. I picked the lucky winner and popped it into my mouth I immediately felt like I was on a snow-covered mountain getting blasted by this cold chilling wind that felt like it would never stop, my taste buds continue to fight and break down this brutal winter freeze that I put into my mouth. The whole experience lasted maybe five minutes, but this is where it quickly became my least favorite part was when ...
