A few days ago, I watched the movie, I am Legend starring Will Smith. I thought it was a really cool idea as it was based on a book, but after reading the plot summary of the book I thought the movie didn’t do the book justice. The movie is about a post-apocalyptic wasteland where most of the human population has been infected by a virus that turns them into vampiric-like creatures. Without spoiling the movie, it involves Will Smith fighting and hunting the creatures while trying to find a cure. What the movie did wrong was that it didn’t show the human side of the creatures as the book did, which was a core element of the story. So, the movie is pretty much just a stereotypical zombie apocalypse story, whereas the book has deeper themes regarding the emotions and humanity of the infected creatures.
39. Shark Sketch

This is a sketch of a shark that I drew. Sharks are my favorite thing to draw when I’m bored, and I think that my drawings of sharks resemble great white sharks. I always loved sharks growing up, and even though I’m afraid of them, I’m in awe of their beauty, power and grace.
38. My Dream Car
My dream car is a C6 Corvette Z06 Convertible. I like the C6 Generation more than the C7 Generation because of the C6’s smoother shape, more rounded and streamlined shape and because I used to always use it in video games as a little kid. I’d like it to be a convertible because I think it’d be so cool to drive with the top down blasting west-coast g-funk gangster rap. It’s a beautiful, fast and powerful car and it’s something that I’ve always wanted. My only concern is that the Z06 only comes in a manual transmission and I don’t know how to drive stick.
37. If I Could Talk to Animals
If I could talk to animals, I’d converse with my dog
I’d ask him about his day, and if he’d like to go for a jog
I’d ask him if he likes the house, the yard, his bed and food
I’d ask him if he’s bored at home and what things he likes to do
I’d tell him that I love him even when he’s bad
even when he poops on mother’s rug, I cannot stay mad
I’d tell him he’s a real good boy, the best one in the world
I’d teach him how to fix his hair and how to talk to girls
I’d ask him what he thinks of me and if he thinks I treat him well
and if he likes my parents, friends and girl if he will tell
I’d question if he think it’s weird, when I pick him up and spin
I’d want to know if he recalls, his mom, his dad and kin
and if he likes the life he lives and world that he’s been in
But I can’t talk to animals, and so I can’t talk to him
So I just feed and pet and walk and give his hair a trim
36. The Ab Wheel
I started working out last August and made solid progress on every muscle with the exception of my abs. I was just too lazy to find a solid ab routine and I was always too tired at the end of my workouts to do random ab exercise. So, I did some research on Reddit’s r/Fitness, and I discovered the ab wheel.
It’s been about a month since I’ve started using it and I’ve made a lot of progress and my core has grown a lot stronger. Although I still have too much bodyfat for a six-pack to show, I can definitely see the shape of my abs and obliques through the fat, and I’ m really happy with the progress.
I want to look like Bruce Lee eventually, so that means I’ll have to cut down a lot of fat and use the ab wheel a lot more so that I can have a sharply-defined six pack. I want to look like Bruce Lee because we have similar body proportions in terms of our limb length and we’re bot Chinese.

34. Kyler Murray
The NFL Draft is coming up soon, and one of the most talked about potential first-round picks is Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray. A topic of discussion surrounding Kyler Murray involves the QB’s height. He’s officially listed as 5’10”, but there’s no way that he’s 5’10”. Based on how tall he looks in comparison to other players, I’d say he’s about 5’8” to 5’9”, which is very short for a quarterback.
At the NFL combine he was measured at 5’10”, but he didn’t participate in any workouts, so it’s speculated that he used spine lengthening techniques that make a person taller temporarily, but also very sick and unwell. I side with that theory and I would like to find out how tall he truly is, but it will likely remain a secret for a while as anything shorter than 5’10” will hurt his draft stock even more. nction(e,

I originally created the letter “A” using the “A” character in a word document, but when I copied and pasted it didn’t transfer over properly and I couldn’t find a reasonable way to do it in Word press. So I just decided to brain storm nouns that start with the letter “A.” I chose the letter “A” because my name starts with two of them, so it’s a letter that’s very special to me. This process was sort of like a mind-map in that certain words led me to other words, so there are a few connections between words in the list.
32. Exit through the Gift Shop
Watching Exit Through the Gift Shop, the documentary by Banksy, left me confused and amused. I didn’t know what to make of it until we discussed it in class, but after the class discussion and further thought, I’ve been able to form an opinion.
I think that that the documentary is a demonstration of how easy it is to manipulate the art world. I think the message is that all you have to do to create expensive art is to convince people that your creation is worth a lot of money. I don’t think that Thierry’s pieces were valuable in themselves as they weren’t spectacularly crafted nor did they have some sort of incredible meaning behind them. Thierry was only able to put on such a successful art show and make money because of the promotion and hype that the other artists’ built for him. Once the public saw that Thierry’s “art’ was approved by Banksy and other street artists, people decided it was valuable just because well-known artists claimed it was.
It’s not to say that Thierry isn’t deserving of the fame and fortune however, as he put in a lot of hard work as a cameraman in the years prior, and in doing so, he built many relationships in the street art world which ultimately helped to promote his own work. So, Thierry’s fame and fortune are not a product of his artwork, but of his extensive relationship building and field work in support of other artists.
31. How to Catch a Papio in Hawaii, Aaron Style
1. Obtain a fishing rod, spinning reel, braided fishing line, a plastic egg floater, plastic grub lures, AZ hooks, 10lb test monofilament leader, a two-way swivel and red plastic beads. The plastic egg floater will keep the lure at the surface of the water, the grub lure’s swimming motion will act like a bait fish, and the red beads will further attract the fish due to its bright color. The AZ hooks are shaped in a semi-circular fashion that allow the fish to swallow the hook, which is then lodged in the fish’s mouth as the tension pulls it outwards.
2. Take your main line, pass it through the egg floater that’s 3/4 filled with water and tie it to the swivel with a palomar knot. Take a segment of leader that’s the length of your wingspan and tie it to the other end of the barrel swivel with a clinch knot. Cut the leader off the spool and tie it to a hook with a palomar knot. Take two red beads and push the hook through them, then take a plastic grub and feed the hook through the body so the tip of the hook protrudes from the tail end of the grub’s body.
3. Find a beach or cliff with either large rocks in the water, wide sand flats or a coral reef with a drop off into a channel.
4. Wade as far as you can into the water if the beach has sand flats. If the beach has a reef drop, wade out to the edge of the reef. If you are on a cliff, just stay on the edge of the cliff.
5. Open the spinning reel and cast as far as you can, then close the reel right before the lure hits the water and immediately begin to reel as fast as you can. As you reel in your lure, twitch your rod to the left once every second. This action will make your lure appear as an injured baitfish scrambling to get into shallower water.
6. Continue to reel, the lure’s action should attract the predatory Papio. You may feel nibbles as the Papio tries to bite it, continue to reel quickly so the fish recklessly chases it and chomps it.
7. Once you feel the bite, prepare for the battle. Due to the shape of the AZ hook, it isn’t necessary to set the hook. Maintain tension on the line and allow the fish to tire itself while controlling it so that it doesn’t cut the line on the reef or any rocks.
8. Papio will often try to swim straight down and fight in short, strong bursts. Maintain tension during bursts but do not reel in as it may snap the line. Once you feel the fish take a break and the line slack, reel as fast as you can. Continue to do so until the fish is within five feet of you.
9. If you are on a short cliff, you may want to use a gaff to pull the fish out of the water, but it isn’t necessary. If you are in the water or on the shore, pull the fish close to you and grab the leader with your hands and carefully pull it towards you until you can pickup the fish.
10. Take pictures of the nice Papio that you caught, then unhook and release it so it can continue to grow and produce more Papio for the future.
