Fall Break

I'm pumped about Fall Break! It'll be so nice to have a break from school and be able to get away from everything. 2010 Fall Break here we come.

Persuasion Techniques

The type of appeal I would have to use to get people to be on my side and have the same views as me would have to be #3 Appeal to the audience's emotions. I think almost everyone would agree that animal testing is cruel and very sad. They basically torture the animals, then kill them. What kind of a life is that. I will try and appeal to them by creating a slide show and showing them pictures of animals that have been experimented on. It's heart breaking. I think that if people want to use a product, they should test it on themselves, or try to make it out of things that they know won't be harmful. Animals don't use any of those chemicals, make up, or anything like that, so don't make them be the test subjects.

2012.. The end?

Mike: "Jeff, do you think the world will really end in 2012?"
Jeff: "Eh, I don't think it will. I have proof it won't."
Mike: "What proof do you have then!!"
Jeff: "I have yogurt that doens't expire until 2013."
Mike: "You may have something there."

Broken arms

My Jeep has broken arms. Actually, it's really only broken shocks. About a week ago I noticed some popping in the front end on the passenger side any time the vehicle's weight would shift or I'd hit a pot hole. I kept driving it. About 4 days later, the other side was doing the same thing. I didn't know what it was at first. Dad suggested it was some kind of joint that was worn out, so I took it to Preferred Towing and Automotive( Bud's Garage). They drove it around and put it on a lift and everything and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. When I got it back, I was madder than.. Heck.. I told dad it was still doing it and he said he wanted to drive it. He reemed the crap out of it. He would hammer the gas petal then yank the steering wheel from side to side to make the weight shift. It was pretty funny, but hard on my gas mileage. He decided it was the shocks, which that's what I pretty much figured. He said it's okay to drive but it'll just make that popping noise until we get it fixed. Now I laugh every time I hear it do that. Shocks are so over rated. Who needs them? Ha, I'm kidding. I'm getting them fixed.
