Kickin' Chicken

The city of Charleston is crawling with new comers and old timers but no matter who you the Kickin Chicken has something for everyone.  Behind the telling neon lights that fill their windows sit a lively group of bar goers and tight knit families coming together.   Kickin Chicken is a casual dinning experience that will leave your tummy filled and family satisfied.

Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 2012

The event that I plan on doing for my news article is the Southeastern wildlife exposition 2012.  This event will take place this weekend beginning Friday, February 17 through Sunday, February 19th. My brother's girlfriend actually recommended this event.  She personally knows of one of the artists in the show and I plan on interviewing her.

People just have to understand that you have to take a risk as a designer and make a judgment call on how or if people would want to wear them. Which is why I agree that most of what every fashion designer loves isn't necessarily exactly what will sell but the idea behind the design and sometimes just the color contrast is what sells. One of the other fashion blogs from our class stated that most of today's hottest fashion style was designed by the people, for the people. It referred to stretchy pants, baggy shirts, and boots and how they can be worn in many different ways,  by many different people.  I believe that is precisely why it is so important to have fashion designers that  are actually shopping in the stores that they're designing for.

This was an interesting choice.  Honestly,  I feel like there was too much going on,  it was hard to figure out what is part of the article and what is other jumble. As I read this article, I couldn't help but think, “less talk, more do." I feel as though my entire condo could have been cleaned in the time it took me to read this article.  But that is precisely my problem- no matter what I am supposed to be doing, I find myself cleaning.  I can't leave the job have finished and have a hard time falling asleep when my room is a mess.  


An even bigger problem for me, is that I'm just as good at making messes as I am cleaning them. Even if my day consists of doing absolutely nothing, I still have random stuff laying around.  I would not leave a sticky substance on  my countertops, or dirty dishes in the sink(for longer than a few hours).  I would, however, leave my pop cans in the living room or leave my backpack in my kitchen or something like that.

One thing about this article I did like was how they pointed out that keeping things clean would make cleaning a lot easier. But if you are a dirty person, watch the TV show called infested on Biography and I promise you, it will change your life.

Media Example #6- Week of 2/6

I like the animation on this website. However, I'm not much of a tweeter(is that a word?).   I find it awkward to know everything that everyone is doing.  On the other hand,  I can see how tweeting can help people feel connected to the world around them. However, I feel a little uncomfortable being so connected to people that I normally wouldn't even speak to.  Let's be honest here, if  I just ate a bowl of cereal, would you really care to know? If you say yes, you're such a liar.  All in all, for those of  you that enjoy tweeting and being tweeted(?), this site is perfect for you.

Well I can see how the lust in the relationship could die down after a while. Just like Michael said, you have got to spice up your relationship. However,   I don't like how Michael was insinuating that having a relationship should be a job.   Personally,  I do enough working already,  the last thing I want is to come home from work and find that I have another  job to do at home. When it comes to getting to know  each other in a relationship,  I agree that knowing your boyfriend or girlfriend  is vital to survive any marriage or even friendship. 

I refuse to yell and nag my boy about the same thing, so if they find that he does something I don't like or can't stand, the 1st time he does it I let him know that it is not okay with me.  The 2nd time he does it, I let him know that I've already let him know. If he does it again then I him let go.  You have to be one giant piece of perfect for me to put up with any BS.    The perfect relationship (in my mind) is one that has more fun and little to no drama. 

Now, now- don't get me wrong, I'm still a female. I still love getting that special green box with that familiar red ribbon, I still like to hear as many complements as he can think of, and when he takes me out on dates(which is a requirement) he still opens every door.  Some say women are high maintenance but I can't speak for everyone, all I know is I sure as hell am.

I really enjoyed this blog. I know exactly where the writer is coming from.  The article in itself was hilarious  and the pictures were an added bonus.   Some say that simplicity is genius and I believe that to be true.   This writer only backed up that theory with his use of pictures and typical but detailed examples. Great job; good pick.

FBI releases dossier on Steve Jobs

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-02-09/steve-jobs-fbi-file/53029956/1

While being the Apple fanatic that I am, the words "Steve Jobs" and "FBI"  was definitely what drew me into reading this article. The article begins with, "The FBI on Thursday made public a dossier on late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, disclosing details on his reported drug use and ability to "distort reality."   I like this lead because it was surprised me to hear that Steve Jobs (or any computer genius at that)  could have  a drug problem.   However, the Hook might've  intrigued me into reading this article  but the actual facts did  it no justice.  To save you from reading this entire article, it basically came down to this:  somebody that knew Steve in college said that Steve Jobs used to pot in college.
