Final, and free, post

Well lets see here; this past week I saw Kickass, and it was very good. And by that I mean excellent. Aside from that, my weekend/beginning of the week has been pretty boring other than spending all weekend with my head in a toilet and unable to sleep due to a fever. Something about this time of the year and my allergies react. Whats funny is that not more than two years ago were these unheard of. I also got a ticket this weekend and it was my fault, but I'm going to go contest it because I have my reasons.

Eh well this is long and boring. Goodnight

Tom Sumner's Lecture

Until Tom's lecture, I never really thought about the process of creating a book. Though I cannot see myself writing one in the near future, who's to say that wont change. With that being said, I'm glad to know that it is quite simple to get your book published.

He mentioned that anyone could get a book published that wanted to. While I was in high school, I met a girl who had published her own book in the eighth grade. It is great to know that people who are interested in writing books in their free time don't need to be famous to get a piece published and possibly distributed.

Though the lecture didn't apply to me directly, it was very interesting and I learned new bits of information.

Persuaders

Sadly, I was absent from class so I never witnessed the video nor did I participate on any discussion over this topic. However, I do think that this society is all about the art of persuasion. In this era, it’s all about who can make the sale and how much money is involved. Due to the "American Dream" evolving into "we must be filthy rich", we must each evolve to finish the challenges behind this dream; with the most important challenge being to sell whatever it is you are selling, and prove yours is the best. Thus, the art of persuasion is most certainly important and everything surrounding us must entice this idea.
