If I was the man, I would just say to  my Previous girlfriend that things change and that people change. Once you find the right girl things seem to change and your life seems a little more complete allowing other things to happen in life. I know that I once told you I wasn't the marrying type, I have changed since we were together it just takes finding the right girl. I feel different about every thing now I feel as if I have grown up and that my life seems fuller since I have met my wife. Back then I really didn't see myself settling down and getting married and having kids or anything but once you meet the one your life changes a lot and things just happen. I am sorry things didn't work out between us but you to will find the right person and life a long and happy life. Life just plays out in funny ways sometimes but everything happens for a reason.

So I know earlier we had to write about how we felt about all of the campaign adds and how we reacted to them. I stated that I never really even payed attention. I was on my way to Toledo yesterday and the was an add on one of the big billboards saying that, we build it he broke we will rebuild it saying that Obama should be fired. Usually I wouldn't take sides or anything but that kind of made me upset. Is really everyone that caught up in all this that they think all of the things that are happening are because of one person. This has been going on for a very long time it's just now that we are seeing the effects of everything that was put into place along time ago. It's not all just because of one person, I feel really if it wasn't for him we would have actually be in much worse shape. I feel the president has done well with what he got handed. That's  just like people now days it seems aways pointing the finger and never wanting to look in the mirror. At some point everyone is going to have to wake up and see that for things to get better they might have to sacrifice some things for the good of our country. Okay well I better stop there I could go on for pages about all of this but I will just leave it with that. It's not all his fault.

Reading Lantry's article was not to bad. He went into a lot of detail explaining each article and how the pictures or visual aids tied in with the text. It seemed like he also did a lot of research before just writing about the 3 articles, allowing him to be able to go into so much detail about how each article was put together for each era. He had so many supporting details that you really didn't even have to have the visuals though from him explaining it it almost gave you that pic in your head. i started to see where  he was going with the article after reading about the second one. How advertising has changed towards women it still has a main base. No matter how much time went by the pictures or the age group may have changed but the main point never has. It is almost as if advertising is kind of brain washing us all in a since, because to this day well still see the same articles just different people and different dialogue but the same base principles. Also with this article he explained his visuals which is the opposite of our papers we will have just one picture that will pretty much summarize our paper.

That was actually a good reading. I really never knew or payed attention to the cover of magazines. After reading this article I look back and notice that there are a lot of numbers on the covers of magazines. I also can look back and see myself actually picking a magazine up because of the same thing that was said in the article. I have been pulled in by the use of numbers. I agree that people are busier now days than they have been for so long everybody just rushes around so when it comes to selling something you really have to put something out there that is going to catch the peoples eye and make them stop for a second and buy what ever it is that is being sold and by using numbers people seem to think of a list and list's are fast, not some boring 2 page article about what is hot this fall but a quick and easy list. So people can read on the run. The article it self was very informative and I liked the use of the picture of Men's Health giving you a visual of what she was talking about. She also used a lot of quotes from interviews which was kind of nice to hear it from so many different angles but putting it all together in a whole. She just kind of skimmed the surface with the interviews never really digging deep. I just felt by doing this she made it more approachable for any audience.

Well we had our first exam today. I had found out last week that it was going to be an open book and open notes so over the weekend I never really put much thought into studying for it. Wow was I stupid, I have never been so lost on a test like I was today, even though we could use our notes and books. Some of the questions were kind of simple and I knew them right away. I figured out how to convert from binary to octal then to decimal, to hex it was pretty easy once you get the hang of it. On the other hand the simplificaton is really hard and I have no Idea what is going on with that, there are 12 rules you have to remember and all kinds of different steps. It is so hard for me I really feel as if they should have put me in these classes after I had like physics and some other avanced math other than pre-algebra. Hopefully I did well enough to keep a good grade there was a 25 point bonus on the back so maybe I got that right and it will bring my grade up. I just can't wait for this class to be over with, come on December lol.

Well it was a good weekend for me, even though I had to work Saturday. I was able to get off in time to watch the end of the Buckeyes game which was really close. I don't even know how we let them score so many points at some point you have to get on your defense and say enough is enough Indiana really isn't that hard of a team. I was starting to get scared towards the end with that turn over when the guy through it back onto the field and they went right down and scored. That game was a little to close for me I can only imagine whats going to happen once we go up against the bigger Big Ten schools. I was also amazed that my Cleveland Browns finally found a rhythm and one there first game in 11 straight losses. We had some big plays and we also let some big plays happen against us, but all in all we won and that's all that matters hopefully we can keep it up for the rest of the year especially when we play the Steelers. Also when I wasn't watching football I was able to get caught up on some of this blog stuff and finish my essay which has been a big relief. Hope you all had a good weekend as well.

Career

I am already getting to the point to where I am not sure where I want to take my career. I still know that I want to major in Manufacturing Engineering, but I don't know how I want to apply it in the real world. I want to help peoples lives and make it to where factory jobs aren't so hard. This has been a passion of mine for a long time, the only thing is how do I apply my education to my job and come together with an out come that helps people. The Engineers where I work at currently don't really help people they just make things work. I understand that there is a money staand point that has to be taken into consideration but at some point you have to stop and look around at your employees how are they having to change just to suit the machine that should not happen the machine are what need to change. The moral of your employees is what gets you money if you have happy employees you are most likely making money. I just need to decide which way is best for doing this. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to comment. Thanks
