Lord of the Kill

"Ben finally reached number twelve, home of the black spotted jaguars. They were named Paco and Iris, and they were the most vicious cats of all. . . .He frowned at them in the gray silver light and had a sudden chill. Their faces appeared to be smeared with dried blood. . . .Where did the blood come from? He had never known them to fight each other.His heart was now speeding. He slowly circled the compound. Then, behind their den house, Ben saw a pile of torn green cloth. the low fog partially obscured it. In the cloth there seemed to be a half eaten human corpse with dark stains soaked into the yellow sand behind it"

OHH SNAP DUDE! I am reading the book "Lord of the Kill" and there has been a murder commited. A body has been thrown into a cage with jaguars on the Los Coyotes Big Cat Rescue. The owner of Los Coyotes has made many enemies because he has spot lighted the black market of illeagal trade of exotic big cats, dead and alive. Hense forth he has made many dangerous enimies. This book filled with so many twists and turns, I cant even explain all the possible suspects

My main question is this : WHO COMMITED THE MURDER . . .and why did they leave the body in the pen that has the most furocious cats in the park? HOw did they know that the cats would of eaten the body. . .??? So many questions . . .

The Reading Journal thats not exactly a reading journal. . journal. . ?

Ok well this packet that Ms. Kay gave us to read this weekend is. . . .uhmm. . .well. . .let me put it this way, I read it all and didn't really absorb any of it. I think my mind kinda went onto auto pilot with in the first paragraph. With strange new words smashed together like "metaphor of public discourse", my mind went "Whoa. . .I am not in the mood to be absorbing these long words" (well they weren't exactly long, just new) Marketing and media don't exactly fascinate me. . . but see here, if this had to do some how with animal sciences/ veterinary sciences/ or exotic sciences, and marketing that sort of stuff, I would be so into this. Well . . I don't know, I am just not in the mood to be doing this.
But seeing as I am being unbelievably stubborn, I think I will just talk about what I talked about on Friday. Talk about media in some way. See there was this one video that I watched at church. ( I am pretty sure this is a form of media . . .?? It communicated a point via technology, you know via is a fun word lol. . ) Ok getting off topic. But its amazing that how a simple six minute video can move you in such a dramatic way. A life changing way. A way that changes your life style forever!
It was the skit for the song, Everything by Lifehouse.
What got me the most, moved me the most, and my turning point, was the turning point for the person in the skit.
The chorus started a little more strongly than the others before it, with a little more 'ummpff' then there was a second of hesitation in the music and for the person.
Then the music came on again, this time with full on energy. "You're all I want, you're all I need. Everything, Everything"
played over and over again, in a pleading, desperate way, as the person struggled, and struggled.
You could here the crowd cheer in encouragement.
I could help but emit a cry of encouragement as well.
And when she made it,
I made it.
the pieces that came together for her came together for me.

It was indescribable.




If you click on this link, you may not understand it at all, you might understand it. But did I sure as heck understand it. And it changed me. Forever.

Oh and it gets a little cheesy at parts. . .but it still got its point across.

Ok well I am sorry MS Kay that this didn't exactly come out like a reading journal, and especially not in the format you would of liked it in, but I promise that I will go by the book next time.

Over and out

Media, What is it?

I think media is communication to a large group of people via television, newspaper, pictures, advertisement, ect.

Flowers, Goofy Dogs, Faulty Computers, and a massive migrane for me.

Ok this weekend hasn't been exactly the best. . .I have mountains of work to do:
-This reading Blog
- Finish (or start over again) typing the speech for my POL
- Rewrite my letter of intent for ASB
-POL prep
-POL prep
-oh and did I mention POL prep?

I had an audition Friday for Alice in wonderland, lets just say it didn't go so well. I totally messed up on the song, and the dance audition was treacherous, especially with the shoes i was wearing. As a result I didn't get a callback. . .and I got casted as a flower. I am not complaining at all, I am glad I got a part, I am just wondering if the outcome would of been better if I was a little more on beat. Literally. And my computer is acting up and all the stuff I have typed up this week got deleted, I have looked everywhere for it, its not in any folder, and the rewind on my computer doesn't show anything either! @!$%*!!! So lets see. . if I am counting correctly, I have a good 4-5 hours of work to do. Oh joy. . take a deep breath Sonja, you can do this, don't panic you have plenty of time, I mean you only have about ten pages worth of stuff due tomorrow. . .ok forget it you can panic.. . .


Ok basically I read Marley and Me over break. The beginning was a little too. . . bow chicka wow wa. . . the middle was great, Marley the dog caused havoc and mischief. The end stunk. Plain and simple. I went to see the movie, and I knew what was coming, but I still bawled. No I wasn't crying, I was bawling, literally gasping in my chair, rocking back in forth in my seat, knees to my chin like I had something wrong with me.

To save those of you from humiliating yourselves at the movie theater, wait until it comes out on DVD so you don't have the little boy that is sitting next to you gawking at you with eyes the size of lolly pops. Its defiantly a watch in the safety of your own home sort of movie.
Ok well I am out of here, I need to finish RETYPING EVERYTHING UHHHHGGGG!!!
