The evening star is shining bright. So, make a wish and hold on tight.

Well, since I'm over the swine flu, I started reading other
blogs from people in English 110. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS
IS THE LAST BLOG!??! WOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, writing about writing got a little tedious after a while,
but I'll be nothelgic and miss this eventually... Let's see, what
to write about...

AHA! The new Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog" comes
out December 11th. Just in time for the holidays. Guess what!??!
This is the first Disney movie to have an African American heroine/princess.
All I can say is...

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Disney, almost the the point of obsession, but why on Earth,
would one of the most popular companies in the world wait this long
to give the children/world an African American Princess!??! I understand
that racism was a big part of our country, but it's been a lot better since
1950's/60's. This should not have taken this long. Disney even cranked out
an Asian heroine and a Native American. With such sucess in those films,
why the wait?

A big contraversy of the film is that the Prince is not full blown African
American. He is from a fictious country of Maldonia. Since he is not
"black" a lot of people have been complaining. I understand the complaints,
but can't they get passed that and realize that this movie is not only big
for having African American heroines, but the first Disney couple of different
cultural backgrounds. (Princess Wise.)

Hopefully, this movie will be a great sucess!!!

I want to suck your blood...

Please note that in this next blog, I, Moe Hunt, will diss the franchise
of "Twilight". Please also note, that I am not very strong, so please,
don't beat me up.

As a fan of ACTUAL vampires, the folklore and mythological creatures
that are of the likes of Bram Stoker, I am not amused by this new
"Twilight" fad that is going around. First of all, it's not only about that
vision of a vampire, but the fact that a vampire falling in love with a mortal
does not suit my stomach well. Call me old fashioned, but I miss when vampires
killed people without care. Now, I know that vampires in "Twilight" try
to kill, but I'm NOT into the romance that is involved in the saga.

Secondly, WHAT IS WITH ALL THE TEENY BOPPER CRAZIES? I mean, I know
I'm NO WHERE near normal, but these girls throwing themselves for a fictional
character seems absurd to me! Just telling you, chicks, there are not a lot of
"Edwards" out there. It's like if you even talk about one dislike about it, a whole
group of "Twilighters" beat you with their Hot Topic t-shirts and jewelry. I just
can't even take Twilight seriously with this crazy fan base. Having a fan base is
great, but when your whole LIFE is about Twilight, it scares me. Now, I KNOW
there are non-crazy fans, but I come more in contact with the crazies.

Third, the romance is just not even romantic in my eyes. I would choose any day
a guy that would watch Star Trek with a loveable geek over some overdramatic guy who
you would ditch your friends/family for who in a way wants to kill you. It just shows
girls to, once again, be desperate. Bleck.

Not meant to offend any "Twilighters". Don't suck my blood. Thanks. :):).

Writing about writing.

Does anyone else have a really hard time finding new ways to write
about their writing? I feel like if I talk about certain things, it's just
being repetitive. I'm sure there are WAY more things I could write
about my writing, but I get this gut feeling that it's being monotonous.
So, I'll talk about how to write your emotions without using a pen or
computer. I'm in art and I feel that it's a lot easier to draw your feeling
out then to write it. When all the words fail, I feel that drawing how you
are feeling is really effective. Some of the most famous painting depict
emotions or events and don't even need a statement to show what the
artwork is about. It's so weird how a painting or drawing can speak to
a person and get them thinking without even having to write an essay
or talk. Paintings can show the inner thoughts of someone to even the
despair an artist has been through. This is not about my writing, but being
enrolled in art really helps me use colors and drawing techniques to express
my inner thoughts and emotions without words. Crazy!

Lalala. Speech Outline.

Introduction:

As you all can tell, I am not the most normal human being in this galaxy. This may come as a complete SHOCK, but... I am... a NERD! Yes, I know. Hard to believe. As a nerd I have come across amazing oppurtunities and trekies to explore the Earth's galaxy and to somehow find that I'm related to Stan Lee. Through this journey through infinity and beyond, I will enhance your Spidey Senses as I show you my type of nerd behavior and make your mind go KABLAM over the intensity of the next "300" seconds with me. During this speech, may the force be with you.

How can anyone do this to someone!!!???

I woke up this morning to a phone call, a phone call that I never thought I
would receive or ever hear. I'm from a small town, a small town where crime
and bad things really don't happen. The town is so minute and microscopic
in population it's almost impossible to get a few bad seeds in it. Two boys from
my high school were just charged with sexually forcing themselves on a 15 year
old girl. That girl is only a sophomore! One held her against her will and the other
took the reigns. Both of the boys have always been a red light to me. They have
always had a sick sense of humor. Last year the one ,that held the girl against her
will, had a girlfriend, he always bossed her around, ridiculed her, and made fun
of her. For two guys to rob someone of their childhood, their high school years,
sickens me. I feel empathy for the poor girl who has to spend the rest of her years
at this school known as "the girl who got raped". Hopefully her identity will be kept
safe and no one will find out. The terrible thing is most likely the boys will NOT go
to jail. That is what really bothers me. Sexually assault is terrifying and most likely
this experience will haunt her from ever having a normal relationship or trusting
anyone ever again. These two boys ,for their moment of sick pleasure, have costed
a 15 year old girl years of pain and suffering. Knowing that they will walk the streets
easily after being convicted is what else terrifies me. One of the boys, the one who didn't
hold the girl, was convicted last year of exposing himself in a park. That isn't a RED LIGHT
TO ANYONE!??! WHO WATCHES THIS KID?!?! Who let him out of the house!??!
WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?!?!? These children should have been taught to respect
women, and not only women, all people! It breaks my heart knowing that this girl had
to experience her sophomore year, a year where you should be getting your license,
involved with trying to convict two horny, selfish boys.
