THE END

This is my last blog post for this blog project. I never thought i would be a blogger. I thought blogging was for people who spend hours online, with little real life social interaction, talking about random subjects. My perception was wrong. I learned how progressive blogging has become. It is every where and about every thing. It's not just for one select group of people it is universal and diverse. It is it's own industry, and has created a means of making money. It is a flood gate of opinions, ideas, and  an essential key for communicating information to people now. Any thing you value or have interest in there is a blog for that. It gives people an outlet to express themselves to the world. It connects people threw tragedy and glory. Friendships are made from people setting in front of computers in different countries. For me it has been a source of knowledge. I have learned something new. It has improved my skills on identifying my audience. Over all this has been a great experiences and has helped my writing. I don't believe ill continue this blog but it was a great learning experience if i feel i need to create one in the future.

I FOUND TWILIGHT'S BIGGEST FAN

I have found her and if you thought you were the biggest Twilight fan you have been living a lie. This some what leaves me speechless!!! The reason it leaves me speechless is because I really believe this girl. I have blogged about Twilight Tattoos, stories of kids biting people because of Twilight, and even a suicide attempt because of Twilight but this takes the CAKE!!! I believe this poor girl has a serious mental disorder and is in desperate need of being institutionalized. Her name is Anita but goes by Anita "Launter" and is a teenage girl who is TWILIGHT!!! I found her video on YouTube here  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMhWT177SAM.
I will take some of her quotes and allow you to determine if she is the biggest Twilight Fan!!!!!

Lets look at the background in this video, Numerous twilight posters, Twilight cardboard cut outs, Twilight quotes painted on the wall, and Anita a teenage girls in a WEDDING DRESS!!!!

"TWILIGHT IS MY REASON FOR EXISTENCE"

"I am in love with the world they live in, and the air they breath" in regards to Twilight she explains her love goes past Edward's Hair and Jacobs abs. 

Stand in line for 98hours for Twilight

wears Twilight shirts at home, school, and work

she makes up her own twilight songs to sign for reporters

paint twilight quotes on her walls

recognize she is insane but dose not care!!!

"I take a BULLET for any member of the cast any day"

she dreams about Twilight every single night

Every school project is over Twilight

"LOVE DOES NOT GET STRONGER THEN THIS, ITS A LIFE STYLE"





The Giaour possible prequel for Twilight???

So i choose to write my academic paper of the poem The Giaour by Lord Byron. I don't know what it is about this poem, but i apperciate it. I think that a part of me relates to the Giaour. The Giaour and Twilight follow the same equation of gothic fiction but with different formulas that equal amazing stories. Twilight is more romance with less horror and The Giaour is more horror with less romance.The Giaour would die for his love and Edward would kill himself if he lost his love. I feel that the Giaour could possibly be a prequel to Edward Cullen's life in away. I know this an out there claim but allow your imagination to take over. There is not much known of Edwards previous life, and there is not much known about Giaours after life. In the Giaour he is told he will receive the Vampire curse. Lets take into account that the Giaour does in fact turn into a Vampire. The Giaour lives this crazy vampire life and turns into Edward. Now lets move the story line up to the Twilight serious. The Giaour is now Edward. The Giaour/Edward is this tormented soul from his past. Lets look at the relationship with Bella. Edward/ Giaour was once in love with Leila and she was taken from him which devastated him, led to a life of being alone and distant. When Edward first encounters Bella he is very detached. He is scared in way of the power she has over him. So Giaour/ Edward decides to get close to Bella after going back in forth thinking back to his relationship with Leila and pain after it. Edward is so protective over Bella and this is the Giaour as Edward doing what he did not do for his love Leila. Giaour is not going to make the same mistake twice and learned from his experience with Leila. The Giaour had Leila taken away from him so as Edward he dose not try to do anything that would jeopardize Bella's life. Edward leaves Bella for her sake and tries to commit suicide when he thinks she is dead. This would be like the Giaour not being capable of living through another lost of a love one. So Giaour ended very sadly but since transforming into this vampire known as Edward he turns his life around and has the happily together for ever after ending he didn't have as the Giaour. 

A REAL LIFE VAMPIRE!!!!

Seeing my trend of blogs are often humorous, this one will be no exception. In our Twilight class we have spent countless days talking about vampires. We have even seen videos of people who consider themselves real life vampires. Seeing how hilarious the idea of being vampire was to me, I sought out to discover, what its like to be a vampire!!!!! I found the highly secrete vampire life style from this website http://www.vampirecentral.fiveworlds.org/Mausoleum.html, This site is written by a REAL LIFE VAMPIRE!!!
Surprisingly he is a married man, no kids except 5 cats which he post pictures of and descriptions.
So lets get our first hand account on this real life vampire!!!!

He believes that genetically he was born a vampire and is not sure its possible to become one but list steps to take!

1. He drinks a pint of animal blood, human blood drinkers only require a shot glass worth.
2. He states he only needs to drink blood every 2 weeks but may vary person to person.
3.Don't plan on shape shifting because he says "come on its not like the movies guys"
4. His special skills as a vampire are fast metabolism, fast healing qualities, acute night vision that day light hurts his eyes, smell a flesh cut from 10 yards away!!!!!
5. He has Fangs!!!! but they are not like the movies and barley larger then regular human fangs.

This guy sounds legit!!!!! If you have any questions you can even submit them to him.......

Boy bites class mates after Twilight



The story is that a 13 year old boy bit 11 of his class mates over a month period of time after seeing the Twilight movie. I think this is another satire article brought to you by a religious website against Twilight. I find these article very amusing. I do not by any means condone these actions of this 13 year old boy but i will take a look at it from the belief it is satire. I do want to give this boy credit for taking twilight further then any other Twitard. There are twilight fans who believe they are vampires and per take in drinking blood of animals and human bought blood but i haven't read any where about them actually biting people.This boy has raised the bar for twitards all over the world. I would like to show you one quote from the article "All these behaviors of course will snowball into adult habits that will lead to a criminal life and eventually early death.


If you notice your teen son or daughter wearing questionable clothing that you don’t like and they have seen Twilight movie or own the related vampire manual books (check their rooms), it’s only a matter of time before they are out having wild sex, catching disease and drinking animal blood." WOW. This is just a small sample of the article. I hope you find this funny enough to read. I will take this from a more realistic stand point.


1. The fact that a 13 year old boy bit one person is alarming enough!!! but here is where i believe this article is fake due to the fact it states he bit 11 students in a month period. First of all this would be under national scrutiny and the school district would have several civil suits brought against it for allowing this child to remain in school and putting the other students safety in jeopardy.


2. The statistics in this article are not cited with any relevant sources. "they are humors tho"


3. The website is a christian radical website.


4. If your child bites some one at the age of 13, i don't believe twilight is to blame but believe there is possibly other significant psychological issues that need to be addressed.


5. Finally if one kid was bit i believe the other kids would have stayed away from this child like the plague and i highly doubt 10 other kids would come close enough to be bit by him.

Breaking Dawn part 2 Trailer

The Breaking Dawn 2 trailer is some what of a teaser in my opinion. It shows Bella hunting but not in detail and also shows our favorite characters Jacob and Edward. Jacob tells Bella that he cant believe she is so much like her self after her transformation. I think that showing Jacob in the trailer leads us to believe his feeling are still there for Bella. The part with Edward is brief but depicts Bella and his passion still is intact. I believe the best part of the trailer is when Bella's red vampire eyes are shown. She looks very beautiful with red eyes. This trailer dose not give away much of the story line that is to come. It dose not represent and conflict or any thing that really grabs peoples attention. If i had never heard of Twilight and seen the Trailer i don't think i would even bother seeing the movie. This trailer may just be a taste of whats to come. I hope the next trailer offers us more. I think that this trailer is some what more geared towards the Twilight fans who have read the books and know what is going to happen. I kind of hope Breaking Dawn 2 dose not follow the book exactly and gives us some thing else. I am still excited about the movie but am waiting for the trailer that grabs me and brings back they passion for me.

My experience in Twilight Comp 2

When i Joined this class i did not know what to expect and did not give much thought to it. I was a closet Twilight fan convinced to join this class by a lady in the English department. My thoughts were only that it was going to be about Twilight and that's it. I feel that i have learned more about Vampires and Gothic literature then Twilight has offer. My only ideas of Vampires were the Cullens and Count Dracula. I have now learned about the Dynamics of the vampiric stories and characteristic of vampires. Learning these elements from many different stories has enlightened me to better understand story plots and characters. I find the ideology of vampires very interesting. I now see more depth in these stories then i could before. With learning all these elements it has allowed me to enjoy Gothic fiction like never before. I appreciate what i have learned and i feel it has expand my mind and vocabulary. I love to learn and I am so glad that my expectations for this class has been exceed beyond my imagination. I believe my writing has improved and also how i understand what i read but most of all my enjoyment for reading has been restored.

Twilight Suicide

For my blogs i try to research crazy stories surrounding around Twilight. This has to be the most outrageous article. Not in the since that suicide is a joke or the girls mental health but rather the author of the article. I want to state that due to the pure ridiculousness of this storey i don't believe it is true. This article is from Landoverbaptist.org "where the worthwhile come to worship and unsaved are not welcome". This is a extreme christian website. The story is of a teenage girl name Cindy May, told by pastor deacon Fred during church. The story goes that Cindy May skipped bible study and lied to her parents to go see Twilight with her friends. She arrived 15 minutes late and tip toed into the living room where her parents were. It says that "The Holy Ghost convicted her right there on the living room floor!" and she told her parents that she skipped Bible study to see Twilight. The father then grabbed Cindy May by the hair and threw her down to the basement where he proceeded to beat her with the bible. Pastor Deacon Fred describes it as "Mr. Reynolds spanked his ugly teenage daughter over her naked hind side with a King James Bible until she stopped crying, and the only words that came out of her lips before she lost consciousness were, 'I'm sorry, Daddy - I'm sorry I let you down. May Jesus forgive me.'" Wow keep in mind this was said during church. Cindy May was left in the basement for two hours to think about what she did, after two hours they found Cindy May had broke both her legs in a suicide attempt. This does not sound like the conventional suicide attempts i have heard of but oh well. The story goes on and Cindy May survives. Pastor Deacon Fred continues to describe Cindy May in such a way it hard to believe he is a man of god. "We all know that Cindy May is not one of the most attractive girls in this Church" this is a little raw. It only gets better listen to this, "Christian parents with unattractive teenage daughters should take heed that Twilight is a film that is driving ugly ducklings into fits of primal lust," he warned. "This movie preys on little unwanted girls, who can count the number of friends they have on one finger! WOW!!!! I cant believe any one would sit and lessen to him. ?Pastor Deacon Fred wraps it up with "Twilight suggests they should end their lives and become vampiresses to spend eternity with handsome vampire gentlemen who don't care how unsightly a young gal is to look upon!Twilight is hitting America's poor teenage Christian girls in their heart strings, promising them the gift of eternal life with no social concerns! It is a perversion of the story of Christ." I am not even going to bother to write a complete review over this article. I think any one with a moral conscious and basic common sense can come up with there own conclusion.

When Twilight has been taken to FAR!!!!

I have heard alot of Twilight hate. I myself have hated Twilight before i ever took the time to read or watch a movie then became a fan. Most of the hate for Twilight i see is unreasonable. Most people that make fun of it like i use to have never seen it or read the book. There is also alot of people that hate Twilight fans, I use to call them TWITARDS ha ha ha ha then i became one. I enjoy the books and the movies but i do not own any thing else besides the books and original movie. I am not a Twilight hoarder with my home covered from floor to celling with pictures of Edward or Jacob. I don't make fun of these people because its private and people don't have to see it and you can keep it your self. The problem I do have is with TWILIGHT TATTOOS!!!!!!! This is why people make fun of Twilight and its Fans. PLEASE STOP!!!!!! or maybe not because i find it to be very entertaining. The worst tattoos are the portraits of the characters. Portraits are the hardest tattoos to do and most of them turn out looking like the person has a touch of down syndrome. The Twilight portraits are by far some of the worst i have very laid my eyes on. Due to the high price of tattoo removal and great pain at tattoo is a life time commitment. Most of these tattoos are on older women. I don't understand. I think that Twilight has become some sort of drug for some people. like any other drug it allows people to change the way they feel and escape the pains of their own reality. We must get these people help. If they are willing to get tattoos i ask what well they do next?????????

The only part of Twilight i dont like

We are reading the book 2 Jacob from Breaking Dawn and I think Stephenie Meyer really dropped the ball. I have enjoyed reading and this is the first part of my experience i am not pleased with. I like the story being told form Jacobs point of view and its a nice choice. The problem i have is with how Meyer sets up the confrontation between sam in the Cullens. So Jacob hears Bella is back and sick so he proceeds to go to the Cullens and kill Edward because he believes she is sick from becoming her transformation to Vampire hood. He tells Sam and the rest of the pack but Sam tell's him no and sides with logic and the fact he believes the Cullens are not all that bad. Jacob goes and finds Bella pregnant and re frames from killing Edward and returns to the pack. The pack reads Jacobs mind and see's what he saw. This is when Sam decides to Attack the Cullens due to the Fact this creature inside Bella puts the people at risk. I like the idea of Sam and the rest of the pack he has fighting the Cullens for the pure fact of how glorious of a fight it would be but the setup is weak and lame. Sam tells Jacob not to attack and tries to use logic by telling Jacob we need facts Bella could really just be sick. Yet Sam wants to attack the Cullens with out any fact of what this creature is. There was no Truce broken. They have no clue what this baby is for all Sam knows it could be Jacobs ha ha ha not really but that would be a great twist. I think Meyer's tried to portray Sam as a composed intelligent leader that looks out for the best of his people and his pack. She makes it look like Sam weighs all the sides of a problem and decides on fact but in this situation he reacts like Jacob. She makes Jacob act on  impulse but in this situation Jacob seems to act more like Sam is suppose to .

Northanger Abbey Let Down

So i was under the impression that in our Twilight Comp 2 class that all the reading material would pertain to vampires but i was mistaken. I had the unfortunate opportunity to read Northanger Abbey which I feel was a waste of my life. The book just dragged along the entire time and i felt like i was waiting for some thing big and exciting to happen that never came. It was a real pain to read at first and continued but the mystery of why we had to read this book kept my hopes high for a good climax. The characters were not exciting at all, they just seemed very plain. The only character with any interesting qualities was Mr.Tinley. He was the villain of the book and at best was just a bad person who had not done anything really that bad out of the norm. I think maybe during the time this book was released it was exciting and interesting but living in 2012 it does nothing for me. From the love story to the lame problems it has no significant value and will soon be forgotten. There was no vampire but our teacher described General Tinley as having some of the same characteristics as our commonly found vampires. He sucked the life out of his wife with out a drop of blood but by not being a good husband. I would not recommend this become to any one under the age of 75.

Why do we blame twilight?

Twilight is a very popular book and movie but with such popularity comes hatred. I understand people have different taste in things but what i don't understand is the amount of energy some of these people who hate twilight put into bashing it. I am really taken back by some of the ludicrous assumption people make. I know for myself that if i dislike some thing I don't read the book or watch the movie, but some of these nay Sayer's seem to know more about the Twilight series then your typical team Edward love struck 14 year old girl. It seems like a lot of time and energy put in to some thing that makes you upset or is it possible that deep down inside they really do like Twilight. Some people treat Twilight like due to its popularity its a mandated reading material for any human breathing air but the truth is no one is shoving the book down your throat and if you hate it why not stop wasting your time with it. Then we come to the people that just like to bitch about any thing and there entire lives and social circles are based around hatred. These are the people who really hate themselves and cant find any enjoyment out of life so they do what they know best and spread there own pain. Some of the claims people make are insane. I am not one to tend to read negative article reviews about any thing let alone twilight but our teacher has assigned us to. First i believe they are a waste of my time because i don't like negativity and two they are full of drawling irrational conclusion from a fiction book. for example the claim that Twilight is is saying that abuse on women is OK. First I never picked that up when i read the book the first time maybe because i was not looking for some thing to hate. I see what she is trying to do and the fact is that this is a fiction book. The characters are not human they are animals and vampires with human qualities. She is trying to hold human society standards to a made up book not even about humans. I think its just a ploy for attention, she needed to make a outlandish assumption to get attention. If there is any negative message being sent out by the book i can tell you Stephanie Myers is not to blame. The parents that allow there 14 year old daughter is to blame. Then i think the whole literary industry is to blame for not having a age rating system for books. The fact is that this is a fiction book written about fiction characters and fiction situations. For any who is mentally sane and lives on planet earth can plainly see this.

Cougars take on Jacob or Edward

This weekend i went out with some friends to local dance club where I met some very attractive older women that i decided to talk to. Things went well and we ended up at Denny's afterwards. While waiting for our food and the fact that Denny's only had one person working and 80 customers we had plenty of time to talk. Some how the topic of Twilight was brought up by one of the women. I have heard the plenty of girls around my age debated over Jacob and Edward but i had never witness to grown women both having children discuss who is hotter. One women was in favor of Jacob and loved his body and thought he was dreaming. The other women said Jacob has a huge nose that only would look right on a pig. They both agreed that Edward looked like a poster child for feed the children. I got a good laugh out of this conversation and did not interfere for the fact i am a closeted Twilight fan. What i thought was most interesting was there take on Bella. They felt Bella was ugly, dorky, and in real life no man would ever fight over here. I enjoyed the conversation and really don't have a opinion on who is hotter for i was more interested in the blonde having the conversation but i believe both of them are handsome men. I do have to side with the women on the topic of Bella, she isn't much to desire i would rather fight for Rosalie or Alice or even Mrs. Cullen hahaha.

My Personal Struggle with Dyslexia

I no longer see having Dyslexia as a burden but as a blessing in disguise. I was diagnosed with a server case of dyslexia in the first grade. It was my father who first discovered i had dyslexia from seeing apart of himself in me. My father had dyslexia and took me to Scottish Rite Hospital to get tested. Before this my teachers and mother knew there was some thing wrong with my reading and writing but did not understand what was wrong with my progress and once my father sat down and looked over some of my work he soon realised that my letters were written backwards. when going threw the diagnostic testing at Scottish Rite Hospital the process was a all day ordeal. I was not excited about the diagnostic test but the women who gave them to me were very nice and encouraging, the one thing i was excited about was i got to miss a whole day of school and did not have to eat the horrifying cafeteria food. Shortly after taking the diagnostic test at Scottish Rite Hospital the results were in and i had a server case of Dyslexia. The funny thing was that i was a bright kid and excelled in math in science but fail way behind in reading and writing. I was lucky having a father who had Dyslexia because he knew the proper action to take to help me. I was soon put in another elementary school within the district with the best tutor from the Herman reading program. My tutors name was Mrs.Lewinsky and little did i know this lady would have one of the biggest impacts on my life. She was the nicest, sweetest, lady in the world and i loved her. She met with me twice a week for the next 5 years. When i first started working with her it was difficult because i was learning to read and write completely different from my fellow peers. She loaded me up with books, colored over lays, and all the tools a kid could possibly need to learn how to read and write with dyslexia. It was one day in third grade and my reading and writing were still not up to speed with kids in my grade and i had to read different smaller books. In 3rd grade was the first time i started experiencing teasing from other kids because of my dyslexia. They use to make fun of me for reading small book like See Spot Run and this really hurt me. The one experience that sticks out is when i was sitting at my table and this evil girl who teased me a lot sat across from me and wrote me a letter. I do not exactly remember what the letter said on it when she handed it to me but i do remember her calling me a dumb ass. Unfortunately for her as a child i was infatuated with curse words and knew exactly how to spell and read dumb ass. Me being quite clever as a child i raised my hand and the teacher soon came over i looked at the teacher and asked her to read this for me because i couldn't read it and i handed her the letter knowing exactly what it said but wanting to give the girl a taste of her own medicine. I don't know what happened to the girl but i do know she was punished. I did experience bullying but being a very athletic kid i often didn't get made fun of because my skills in P.E. class and recess out weighed the fact i lacked in reading and writing. Mrs.Lewinsky did help me a lot and i remember having to learn how to write with my left hand which i thought was weird but now looking back i realize that this helped me remember and process writing letters and words correctly. I also remember putting her in tears from my accomplishments from time to time, like the first book i read out loud to her. Every time i read out loud she use to record my voice and i remember taking home the cassette tape of reading my first complete book out loud and playing it for my mother, she had the same reaction as Mrs.Lewinsky and busted out in tears of joy. I believe it was when i was in the fourth grade when Mrs.Lewinsky gave me a kiss on cheek out of joy for me and she had became like another grand mother to me. She told me the only other student she had ever gave a kiss to was here very first kids she ever tutored, and i felt grate because i knew i was doing good and from where i was when i first started working with her to where i had came to was a huge difference. After the Fifth grade i sadly had to stop seeing Mrs.Lewinsky because i had graduated from the Herman Reading Program and i was up to level in reading and writing with kids in my grade. This was not the last time i saw here we still stay in touch to this day. I am grateful to have had this amazing women put in my life and give me the gift of reading and writing threw patients and tolerance. I also had out sided tutoring for 7 years and they also helped me a lot but never had the same impact that Mrs.Lewinsky had. After all my tutoring had stopped and i was at the same level as other kids my age i still was not cured. It still took me longer to read and write and i had special time commendations all the way threw my senior year in high school. To this day i still have some issues but i am proud of the journey i had to take. Dyslexia taught me that with time and effort i could achieve any thing. It taught me that life isn't always easy or fair and experiencing it as a child has helped me even in adulthood. As a kid i had to work twice as hard as other kids to learn how to read and write and i never once felt sorry for myself. Tears were shed by me some times from being over whelmed with being made fun off and also frustration, but these tears were replaced by tears of joy from my mother and Mrs.Lewinsky. I now have no problem telling people i have Dyslexia and i embrace it because it has taught me so much more in life out side of reading and writing. My favorite thing to tell people is that i can read and write just as good as them but i can do it forwards and backwards.

My First Week In Twilight English Comp 2

I recently got in a situation where i was trying to find a different English Comp 2 class. I was told to go talk to the secretary in the English department. When i arrived to the English departments office i was greeted by a lovely friendly women named Brandy. I sat down and explained my situation to her and she quickly put all my worries to ease. She started off by asking me if i liked "W.O.W", i had no idea what she was talking about. She soon told me that they had a English class where the main focus was surrounded around World Of Warcraft the online interactive role-playing game. I looked at her in disbelief and told her i don't think that was for me. She then asked me if i liked Twilight. It took my a second to answer because i typically didn't tell people about my appreciation of the blood sucking teen romance. I felt comfortable with Brandy and told her "yes, i do like Twilight." She told me she had just the class for me and the teacher was great and could work well with me and my needs. So I went from a normal comp 2 English class to Twilight Focused English comp 2. After she put me in the class and printed me a schedule i thanked her for helping me so much and I was on my way. As i was walking to my car, what i did finally started sinking in, "About three things i was absolutely positive: First, I had just signed up for a Twilight English class. Second, There was a part of me that was completely interested and a part on me that was scared to be in a class where people would know I was a Twilight fan. And Third, I was going to experience some thing new and it would teach me more then just about vampires but also to be comfortable around people." The next day was my first day of class and my nerves were running a little high. It was the fear of the unknown but as soon as i got to class I met the teacher and I knew Brandy was honest when she said she was nice. The teacher was at the bottom of my list of fears but the class and people in it were at the top. As i turned my focus away from the teacher my nerves were shortly put to rest as i saw a good friend of mine was here in the class with me. The first class went off without incident and every one there seemed very nice and every thing i had reservations about were all put to rest. Now being a few classes in i am enjoying the class and look forward to it. I am now reading breaking dawn and my appreciation for Twilight is growing. When Twilight came out i never read the books or saw any of the movies for about 3 years. To be honest with you i made fun of Twilight with out even knowing about it. It wasn't until one day me and my buddy were sitting in my living room going threw Netflixs movies and my buddy told me to go back. I realized that he told me to click on Twilight the first movie. I looked at him and laughed and told him "hell no", he then went on to explain himself and i decided to give the movie a chance knowing me and my friend had similar taste. I watched the movie and i was blown away. I liked every thing about it from its great setting of beautiful forest to even the high school love story. I was hooked. Soon after i saw all the movies with in the next week and started reading the books. The lesson i learned was never judge a book by it cover and also i had made a complete ass of myself for making fun of some thing i didn't know any thing about. I am looking forward to the rest of this class and finishing the last book.
