Playing Basketball

Man I love playing basketball I wish I could play right now. I know other people have hobbies but I don't think that they are as hooked as I am. Sometimes eve after I just finished playing and I'm exhausted I still feel the urge to play. I play almost every day I go to school now. I played in high school too. When I play I am in a different zone. Its attack mode nobody can stop me and you can't tell me anything. I love the feeling I get when I shoot a three right in some ones face. There’s times when I do I move I have clue where it came from I surprise myself a lot. I like when other guys doubt how good I am and even try to say I’m sorry. That’s when I really try to score as much as I can not to prove point but to challenge myself and to see if they are really as good as they say they are. I could play for the school if I applied myself. I have a lot going on and I hope I can make time for it. If not I will just keep playing recreational. The good about playing is it’s a good way to stay in shape and a great stress reliever. I prefer to play indoors but ill play outside to. It’s just that you have a better atmosphere. You don’t have to worry about rain or wind. When you’re indoors you get a different grip then what you get outside. If you were to fall the injury won’t be as bad as an outdoor injury. Like I said though I’ll play both places I love basketball.     

 

Northers

I don't feel as I have a strong accent anymore you can only tell with certain words that I say like call pronouncing the all very strongly and saw. Point being I have more of a northern accent. I have been in NC for like six years though in go back very often to Maryland Philly and New York. I guess us being arrogant is somewhat true but not for everybody. I think most northerners want to sound like someone from the south because like Miss Wright said in he post people do look at southerners as being kind of stupid. I come to realize that many people can tell from a conversation that I’m not originally from NC or any southern State. I’ve been told that I am country and that by some southerners that they can tell I’m from up state. Just like there are different types of southern the same goes for up north Maryland, New York, and Philly clearly sound alike. The further you go up north the stronger the accent. There are certain words that some  Maryland people say Like dug instead of dog, or lor rather than little/lil. There are a lot more but those two stand out. Up state people usually talk a lot faster and more hand gestures all day but  and emotion when we talk. We also use different words to describe people like saying bammer (means your from the south), duckplucker (means whatever you want it to ), clown (lame),  and yo. I love that yo word I could say it all day. I say yo rather than dude or bro. Northerners usually seem like they are talking at you rather than to you. I don’t feel like that the way we speak is culture enriched.  One thing I don’t like is to be look at as If I am arrogant or self centered. I am a very open person and I don’t want people to judge me on what they think they now about northerners.

Literate or Illiterate

I was very interested in the discussions we had in class about literacy. I felt like we made valid points on what we felt about it. However we didn’t speak much about what is illiterate I feel as though that is what defines where literacy ends. For example no disrespect but people such as Gullah-Geechee are said to be illiterate. Many say that they speak a broken English however if you research their way of speaking they were here a long time ago. They actually speak with an African base dialect. I feel like literacy is the ability to read, write and for people to say that they are illiterate is an opinion. Just like people on facebook would you say they are illiterate for typing wat rather than what or r rather than are. It’s the groups’ way of communicating and there are many countries around the world that communicate differently then what grammar says is right. Literacy is very diverse just as well as we are and plays a very important role in our everyday life. Whether we are talking formally or socially. When it comes to literacy I think that there is a large grey area, which is open for discussion. I’m sure somebody else would explain literacy much differently then how I went about it. Is it to say that I am wrong and there definition is right or vice versa. My main thing is literacy is very indistinguishable. Grammar is also and I think that grammar is behind all of the different ways to explain literacy

Helping Hand

I am very big on being a helping hand. I love helping people move forward to succeed in life whether its just being a study partner or if its finically.  That is why I chose to become an Athletic Trainer I love sports and I love to help people get better at what they do. Athletic Trainers can also make a good living the salary range is very pleasing   and it would allow me to be a big help to love ones and friends around me. I would be able to start my own facilities to create jobs and promote wellness. In this day and time job are very hard to come by and if i get a chance to change that I would, not being able to buy pampers for  your child is not a good feeling I'm sure of it. I would also create recreational centers for children with low budgets. I feel as though it can give them hope and to give them encouragement to not give up and not to accept that they have to live like they live for the rest of there lives. Its like the community gives up on children when  they finish there last year of high school and I want to help those in need as much as I can. In some of my old neighborhoods indoor basketball courts were scarce, and outdoor basketball courts are only good for the summer. I was somewhat upset when I had no way of playing basketball when the school gyms where not recreational and the YMCA was to expensive for me, I would have to play in the cold or not at all. May not seem as important to some people but some people cope and even love playing so I can relate. That is more of why I like to create different center for children and even grown ups can even get away and  I want to help.    

Funny youtube Videos

I enjoy watching funny youtube videos when I have the time to. I can stay on for hours looking for the funniest videos. Like this little girl having a conversation with her mother about a  monster.The little girl is telling her mother what she would do if he cam in their house. If you watch she isn't say A*# she saying ask. I don't know If you have seen it but its real funny.  Videos like this help me thru a boring day check it out and let me know what you think. She ended up being on the show Ellen and she wouldn't say it anymore. You have to watch the video its funny. So when ever you have the time just check out some videos on youtube if you are bored or a little bit frustrated. Enjoy the video!
