Week 3 EOC : Jeopardy - Challenges and Opporitunties

Jeopardy: the American game of intrigue, wits, challenges, and opportunities that's featuring trivia in wordplay, sports, history, arts, math, pop culture, science,  geography, and much more. Jeopardy is a game that’s not for the weak minded or feeble knees.  A game of useless information of a unique  answer and question format where contestants are given the answer and must phrase their response in a question form.

The challenge of Jeopardy is to engage in a contest of skill, strength, cross-examine, investigate, needle, and pick one's brains for trivial information. Answers like,for 100,  Kimigayo: What is Japan's country's song? and for 100, Keiko, Komuro Tetsuya, Marc Panther: Who are the members of Globe? Who can ever forget, for 500, Uran-chan: What is Tetsuwan Atomu's sister's name? and also, for 200, 16: What is Hideo Nomo's uniform number? There are the easy ones like, Mississippi:  What is the longest river in America? and Canada: What country is north of America? The real challenge is to see if you are really smart or just a nerd without a life.

The game Jeopardy really a useful tool in learning new information, exercising the old noggin, and learning to retain possible useful information. It's like having that place to keep endless junk. Thinks like rubber bands, screws, tape, and odds and ends. Things you might need in the future to hold or fix something in a desperate time.  Jeopardy's information might be needed in a job interview or maybe a  project that needs a special touch that only you; the Jeopardy player can know.

I know there will be a time in the future when I will be questioned at a job interview, Who said: "I'm the president of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli"? A: George Bush.

Week 2 EOC: What I think of lawyers.

What I think of lawyers.
Well, I never ever had to hire a lawyer so my opinion is neutral.  I believe they are like doctors who spend years in school, working, studying and paying the high cost of school loans. When you have to go to a doctor and having to rely on his or her expertise in their field hoping they have the experience and practice necessary to examine a person, determine if there is an illness, diseases, or just healthily.   
 A doctor also must know the proper treatment and medication necessary for the patient without killing or injuring the patient. Our lives, friends, and families are in his trusting hands of the doctor. I believe a lawyer deserves somewhat the respect as you do a doctor.  A lawyer spends years in college and the high cost of school loans plus passing a bar examine. We trust lawyers on his or her expertise in their field hoping they have the experience and practice necessary to investigate all avenues in the law so you are fully represented in a court of law.

I think lawyers aren’t trusted as much as doctors are that they weasel all the way into all the little cracks in the law to win their cases. It isn’t about truth and justice but that the case wins. A doctor can be personal and is concerned about your health and welfare but a lawyer is about a percentage of your property that was stolen or someone trying to take your property. What was lost or gained leaves you with a feeling of being robbed as the large amount is given to the lawyer.

What I really think of lawyers, they are what they are. If I ever, ever have to go to court I want to have the best one to represent me, and I’ll be very grateful I have one.

Week 1 EDC: My Voice

I moved to Las Vegas Nevada in 1992 where I become of a member of a church called The Potters House. There I was asked to join a video team for a live music and drama scene on Saturday nights in 1998. I accepted the invitation and after about two years I became the video director for short films, visualizations and the director for the show's video line up, cameras, and a video effects mixer, and  for a live show called Solid Rock Live.

I longed to further my abilities for the Solid Rock Live and adventure further into the world of video and film. Now I am in collage working for a bachelor's degree in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics at the Art Institute of Las Vegas. I expect to graduate in 2011 and I am ready to take my abilities to new worlds to explore. To create special effects, animation, or other visual images using film, video, computer or other electronic tools and media for use in products or creations, such  as computer games, movies, music videos, and commercials.

I'm also looking forward to having the bachelor's degree in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics with core courses including English and math with the variety of graphic design classes that prepare me for careers in entertainment industry or corporate America. The work arena in which the visual effects and motion graphics can be used in just huge. Movies, television, and the internet are the biggest industries where this knowledge is needed, and a graduate with a degree in this field is in high demand in these fields.
