Something I have seen

Something I have watched over the weekend is the movie Dark Knight. It was the second time I have seen it. The movie was really good, and really funny. The two funniest scenes that I remember is the scene with the disappearing pencil trick. The made me laugh really hard. Then the second scene that made me laugh is the scene when the Joker was dressed up in the nurse’s outfit. The first time I saw the movie I was a little bit tired. But when ever the joker was on the screen I woke up because the joker is the greatest villain ever, and the quote I like the most is “What ever doesn’t kill you makes you STRANGER.” That quote made me laugh a little bit. Seeing it for the second time was a pretty good idea, because I forgot what the funny scenes were, and now that I have saw it again I remember it now. Now I can not wait for the movie to come out on DVD. Now I can not wait for the movie IRON MAN to come out on DVD cause that movie was a really good movie also. And I think that Batman and Iron Man are not superheroes, because a superhero to me is a dude who has super powers, and Batman and Iron Man are just two rich dudes who have a lot of time on there hands so they go around fighting crime with gadgets. Not powers they got from a wired disaster or toxic spider, or just born on another planet. But they are still pretty cool.

Something that i have read

I am reading an outside reading book right now for Guys & Lit. I am reading to book Saving Private Ryan. The book starts out right before D-Day. Sergeant Miller is talking to him company in his Higgins boat. Then the second chapter is the Higgins wall goes down and D-Day starts. Miller jumped over the side and the weight of him and his backpack of equipment and gun sunk him to the ocean floor. When he got to the floor he started to take off his backpack. When he was done he saw that another person trying to get his off but couldn’t. So Miller cut the backpack off and carried him and the other man up to the surface. The guy got shot a couple times. So Miller used the man’s body as a shield. When he was done he saw people doing the same thing with people. Then a grenade went off really close by him and he lost his hearing for a while. Then when he got his hearing back he told people to get a place where the Nazi couldn’t shoot at them. This book is really good so far. It is filled with action, which I really like, and in the first half they said eleven swear words. They said the f word about 8 times, and they said the s word about 3 times.

Vikings vs Colts
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=280914016

I saw the Vikings game on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Vikings were winning after the first three quarters of the game. The score was 15 to 7. But then the start of the fourth quarter Peyton Manning threw three passes, two of them were a first down pass, and then the third pass was a touchdown, And that put the Colts down by two. The Colts ran for a two point conversation. That tied the game at 15 all. Then after the kickoff the Vikings failed to get anywhere so they are forced to punt. Manning threw the ball to Wayne who caught it in the middle of the field. Everybody ran to the ball and Manning spiked the ball with 8 seconds left on the clock. The Colts kicker came on the field and kicked a 47 yard field goal.

I think the Vikings didn't do as good as I would think they could of. They should stop running with Adrian Peterson every other play to, once or maybe twice every other first down, cause every time he is out there the defense is expecting him to get the ball so they just anticipate him running around one of the sides. They should run a lot of fakes with him so the defense might be drawed in the fake so Mr. Jackson can do a pass to another player, and score a tochdown. Hopefully.

A Journey I Intend to Take

A journey I would like is to go to New Zealand. I would go watch the New Zealand rugby team called All Blacks. I would want to go there when there is a tournament there, and Iriland and France playing there. The reason they need to be in the tournament is for Iriland because out of the many years the sport rugby has been playing Iriland has never beaten New Zealand, and I know that will never happen. The reason for France is because they beat New Zealand to get into the championship game for the World Cup. Another reason I would go to New Zeland is beause i heard that the mountians are pretty good to go snowboarding. The last reason is because New Zealand is just a pretty sick country to go to.
My name is Broderick King. This is my super cool blog, whitch i will p0ersonalize and make my own. I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the English language.


The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to memment on texts that I am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, internet articles, televison shows, trips to museums, etc.


Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that Wednsday. m Therefore, Q1 due dates are:9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holistically. i also understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just is only 196 words! Now it is 200!
