The other day, I interviewed my Uncle Peter about his job as a graphic designer because I had no clue what that was.
Me: What is a graphic designer?
Uncle Peter: A graphic designer is not like an architect or engineer, instead you design a label, or the packaging for a company
Me: Is there a school for that?
UP: For my job, I don't. Others, though, do if they are designing from scratch. My job is to add more details on that persons design. Although, I plan to do that soon.
ME: Are you satisfied with this job?
UP: Yes. Even though I may not have a big salary, it's way better than my former job as an accountant because it's more interesting than numbers
Me: So you use to be an accountant? For what company?
UP: For Astragraphia, the sole distributor of Xerox machines in Indonesia
Me: How did you get this job?
UP: Actually, I got a job in different part of the company and I stayed there until there was a position available in the graphic department. The boss there thought I already was a graphic designer, because of the name of where I used to work, but once she knew I can't, she said she could teach me, and I stayed since.
That's all I asked my uncle about his work. If I learned anything from that interview, I learned that it takes nothing to be a graphic designer.

Five Guys
When i was traveling in Washington, DC, my family and I stopped at this famous fast food restaurant called Five Guys, and it had a pretty good burgers. If I could describe Five Guys, I would say it is the IN-N-OUT of the east. Like IN-N-OUT it has burgers and fries with the same theme colors, unlike it, though, it has hot dogs, and a lot of toppings like mushrooms, hot sauce, bacon, and jalapenos, with a thicker patty. It has been given great reviews from many critics, and i would personally recommend it. For more information, check out the home page in the link below.

(My dad)-This is my 24th year.
(Me)-How much longer do you envision teaching.
(My dad)-About 6-10 years more.

(My dad)-About 6 years to get my degree.
Karate Kid
A month or two I saw a great movie called Karate Kid. The star actor was Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son.It was about a kid and his mom moving to China to start a better life. Jaden Smith is unhappy about the move and wants to go back to the U. S. Then he makes enemys with a bunch of kids that know karate. Then the maitence man, Jackie Chan, teaches him krate and helps him win a tournament. This helps with the bully problem because now they respect him and are now friends. I rate this movie four and a half stars out of five. I would recommend this movie to everyone who likes movies because I think everyone would like it.
I decided to interview my baseball coach because he is very inspirational to me. Bobby Alanis is not only a great family man, and a dedicated employee of Giant RV he is also an unpaid baseball coach. Here are the questions I decided to ask during the interview:
1. Why do you coach baseball? Answer: I enjoy teaching kids the best game in the world.
2. Do you worry about what the parents will say about your line-ups and positions? Answer: No, because parents are parents and I remain unbiased.
3. How do you feel when your team wins? Answer: It feels good because I know I did my job right.
4. How do you feel when your team loses? Answer: It doesn't feel good. I don't really want to say it.
5. How do you juggle your job, family and baseball? Answer: It is hard, but baseball gives me time with my boys. First it was my older boy and now it is the younger ones.
6. What is your goal for this team? Answer: I want to prepare them for high school ball. That is the main thing.
7. Does coaching baseball ever suprise you? Answer: A coach should expect suprises, that is what a good coach would say.
8. Will you always coach baseball or will you try other sports? Answer: It will always be baseball. Live, sweat and die...hahahaha
And that's a rap. It was pretty much what I expected. If you know the game, you pretty much know the answers.

CHIPOTLE
One of my favorite restaurants to go to is Chipotle. Chipotle is known for their massive burritos the size of your head. Everyone can make a big burrito ,but Chipotle makes it with the freshest ingredients and juiciest meat. If burritos aren't really your thing you can always have a bowl with anything of your choice. The service is quick and efficient.

In N Out
In N Out is a place where u can get burgers pretty cheap.They have good fries and burgers are very delicious.There burgers are grilled and not microwaved like other places. All though some In N Outs are just drive-throughs, its still a great place to get burgers.
Movie Buzz-#1
Movies coming out today is just SAW 3D. This movie is to be said the last of the saw seires. This time SAW has been made in 3D. So now it seems like your in the movie playing deadly games.

Question of the day: Do you think that Saw 3D would make the movie better with or without 3D?
Answers in the comments please(:

Kabuki Japanese Restaraunt
I recently went to the restaraunt Kabuki. This restaraunt is a fine dining Japanese restaraunt. This restaraunt has varieties of food like seafood, meat, rice/noodles, and Japanese soups. The quality of the food is great. Although i wouldnt pay 60$ for this meal. I've been going to this restaraunt since I was in dipers. The service is great. The attitude of the waiters are great. They make no excuse when you need something. Usually the wait-time is about 20 minutes. The set up is a fine dined sushi bar. Since the music is never really playing that loud, I never new what type of music is playing. People usually come as couples or in a family. The men are usually dressed with jeans and a nice shirt. It's usually crowded at night with a rush hour at 7:00.
Egar Allan Poe
I believe that Poe is sick and twissted. He makes these wierd and sick stories. For Example, The Telltale heart, its about an obsesion for an eye. He kills the old man for an eye thats crazy. Also the story Masque of the Red Death, everybody dies at the end. This is what i think about Poe.

Vote Yes for McDonalds!
Having nothing else to write about, I will comment on Patrick McElligatt's post about McDonald's. In his post, he writes "there is nothing good to come from it [Mcdonalds]". I totally disagree on that there are benefits. Yes, it may be fattening, but it is much healthier than competing fast food chains like Burger King and Jack-in-the-Box, and there at least is a salad menu. With McDonalds, the average Joe can walk in and order a big mac, a large Dr. Pepper, and fries, and leave satisfied. Little children can enjoy their toys on the Happy Meal. Finally, you can win money through the Monopoly Sweepstakes. Yes, there is good coming from Mcdonalds!

To answer your question I don't think that you can judge someone for there stories that they wright. Edger Allen Poe's stories might have made some people think that he could or would have been psychotic or crazy. But you just can't judge someone by there stories. I don't think he was crazy at all why some people thought and still think he is today. His stories are crazy but that doesn't make him crazy. So that is my opinion over this question.

New Movies
There have been new movies recently. The most recent movie is Paranormal Activity 2. This movie is said to be the number 1 horror film of the year. I have not seen this movie yet, but by just looking at the commercials i'm already scared. Another new movie is the Secratariast. This movie is mainly about horse racing. This movie is best for families. These are the most recent movies out.
Ping Pong
Although it is not a well known sport or very popular I think ping pong is a very entertaining sport. If you enjoy the game tennis and are kinda lazy you would like this because it is a minature tennis game without all the moving. Even though it is sometimes said that ping pong is only for Asains i think anybody can play good if they really try. I conclude that ping pong is very underated and you should try to play.

Edgar Allen Poe
I think you can judge a lot about an author's personality in their stories. Most of the time author's write about life experiences. A psychotic story doesn't always come from a psychotic author. Edgar Allen Poe wrote psychotic stories, but his life was miserable. Although Edgar Allen Poe wrote psychotic stories and grew in misery, it doesn't mean he's psycho. It is very unfair to judge an author by his/her stories because it doesn't always mean they're really like that in person.

Poe: A Psycotic Person?
Dear English answer man
In your blog, you asked if we can judge an author in what s/he writes. I belive that you can not judge someone on what they write. Look at poe. His psycotic stories were from his cretive imagination caused from the drinking and the loss of loved ones (mostly drinking). he was not psychotic person, or else he would be in an asylum. instead he was a man with an unlucky past (and a drunkard).
Also, many mystery authors write stories with detailed murders, robberies and other crimes, but does that make them criminals? no, it just that they make a great story from their creativity. Thus, it proves that the types of stories a writer creates does not make them that type of person.

judging
I believe u can not judge a reader by how they right. For example just like the saying goes you can not judge a book by the cover. Some writers might have a bad. This might make them feel mad or jealous then they will write their feelings out. So I do not think you should judge someone on how they right unless you know them personally

Answerman question
In this blog, I would like to post about sports, famous people, and entertainment. These types of posts would be perfect because these subjects are the most popular things people like to talk about. I'm most excited to be able to show off my writing skills even though i'm not the best at it. It will also be able to help me get better at my writing. I'm dreading to be able to argue my writing. This will be good for me so when i get into real world i'll be able to persuade better. Personally I think if u don't care about this blog, your doing yourself no good. This will help you in a variety of ways. I hope to learn how to communicate in a different way. This blog will do us all good.

I am not as excited as other people might be about blogging. I am not really a blogger since I am a privite person who does not like to do these things . Even though I dont really like it I will do it anyway. It could help in having better grammer on the computer and let me learn how to critizise on other blogs. Thats the only thing I really see about this.
Blogging
I envision my self posting on many different topics during this blogging experience. What I want to learn from this blogging experience is to learn how to comment and do that well. I am excited to be a part of this blog because it is a good experience. Also, to communicate with my friends and the world. Also, it will teach me to write correctly because you never know who might see it. Imagine if you talk slang and some important person sees it and even though they don't know you they will expect you to be like a gang banger. I don't think there are any drawbacks because I think it will be a good experience. This is what I hope to get from this blog.
