What are my thoughts?


Today, there are so many things going on my mind. I want to get out high school because I want to be in college. I want to have a car to be able to go anywhere, with my friends, etc. I want to have money, I want to go snowboarding, I want to visit my family in Mexico. There's a lot more in what to think about. But I started wondering am I able to do this, all the things I want. I realize that somethings are becoming to be real. But others are becoming to be way from me. Because I don't have the same tools as others for starting. Sometimes you hear comments where at some point it makes you feel real bad. Maybe you are wonder why people think that you are not able to do what you want to do. I just to have my life like everyone else. Be a teenager is complicated because so many things happening around you that you don't know where to start. How to know when this thing is totally right or wrong. Nobody is going to complain about it, or someone might be upset for what you did. Life is hard, but harder is to live in it and to learn to survive. After all, living is just a piece of life that you borrow since the first time you open your eyes, when you are a baby. Life is a borrow that you never know when you have to take back and give it to somebody else, just as a baby born.

I try to live my life, I believe and I have so many things that keeps me moving forward. First of all, it is my life, my friends, my hobbies, etc. The hopeless of some day have the my own building. The fact the people coming to have different goals in our lives, most important to keep us forward especially, that when you know what you want.

What would I change about the past year.

I know that I have been doing what I should be doing. There was a lot of things I have done this year. I have making some mistakes. If I have the opportunity of going back and change my past would be the way I express my father how much I love him. I am not really expressive with him. I don't talk to much with him. This one of the first things for sure I would change. I think I would change to put me a reminder of my brother's birthday's, no one remind his birthday. One big mistake because he felt so bad, I told him I didn't forget it. But the truth was that I was forgotten my this situation. There also the way I am acting. I know my personality is changing. I putting things for the last minute. It is one of the things I need to change.

Coming to a new land

I was at school when I started thinking in coming to United States might be a wise idea. I wanted to be with my parents who have been living for almost 7 years. I was confused because I didn't want to leave my place where I was born. But the idea of having my parents, the idea of visiting new places was the most exciting thing in my life. I wanted to learned English just as other people, this was complicated because I have been having some trouble in the English class. I remember that I used to have really bad grades because I did n 't know a numerable words to be able to write a simple sentence on my paper. I always had this class after lunch. I was just hoping that the lunch never end up. Because I was afraid with the only reason on thinking about those assignments that they were really killing me. It was impossible to me do that. I had to ask for help and sometime I copied part of the homework from my friends. But still, I couldn't pass this class.

The English teacher wasn't very friendly to ask for help. Sometimes she was nice, sometimes she used to make jokes from somebody. But others times, she was just a pain, because she angry for reasons that we did not know. I think she was having some trouble with his life. It is funny. It comes to my mine, when we were waiting for the teacher outside of the classroom. It was a little bit after lunch. Somebody, thought it was pretty smart of him to put some toothpicks on the door's lock. When the teacher came from her lunch. She tried to open the door. But this was impossible because the lock has something in it. But she didn't know. Some of us knew this. But, could not tell her because we might be suspended. It was a good reason, and a point for her because we did not like her. We were the bad group because we were always putting her in the bad situation. She was pretty nice in some part of the deeply of her heart.

It was nice time, but yet I was not sure in coming to United States. I wanted to meet new people. One day, my mom called, she asked me quieres venirte para aca donde estoy yo. (would you like to com here USA) I said with a huge enthusiastic claro que si mami. (of course mom) I was not sure, but I said yes, it was the first thing it came to my mine.

Time was still passing and I had to be decide in what my life is was going to be about. I had to decide whether to stay in the little town or to be in the city. Of course I wanted to live in the city but It was sad to live my town where I was born where I spend all my childhood in Puerto Escondido. The next time when my mom asking if I wanted to come where she was living. I said to her I wanted to. My was having this problem, she thought my brother and I wouldn't be able to study. She was saying that people had been told her that it was impossible to have an education. I said to mom that it wasn't really true. But I really didn't have an idea of what she was talking about. I just wanted to go away.

We supposed to be living from Puerto Escondido, after we have done with the school. The problem was, we didn't kn0w who are we coming with. My wanted to come to pick us up. Then come back with her. It was really because I was about to see my mom after 4 and a half years. That was fantastic. It was really exciting. Well, I think something happen and after all, my mom is was not coming. But my dad was coming for us. He wanted to come because he was having more time without see us each other. He wanted to come because he wanted to visit his family and friends. The decision was made. My dad came for us. It was happiness.

We were out of school already. I used to go work with my uncle. I was a waiter. It was pretty cool work with them. Since It was my first job. It was pretty nice to me. The funny thing that I used to ride my bike to work every single morning. It would take to 20 or 30 minutes, depending of how fast I was. Any ways that is another story. Back to where I was. We were out of school , one morning it was strange, because I felt something was happening. I knew that my dad was arriving but I didn't know the exaclty time or the day. I remember It was Saturday morning I wake up. I about to eat, actually I was having my breakfast, breakfast that my grandmother was cooking for us. After all, she was nice with us. I was nice to her. I heard the bird singing but in a peace way that you feel that something was coming to you. You don't even realize of what was happening until you see it. It was tremesdouse cool. I heard a taxi was coming. So a taxi make a stop in front of my front door, strange because usually there no taxis around my area, especially during the breakfast time. I did not put much attention to it. I let it go. I thought it might be my older brother coming from his job. Sooner I heard my mother yelling es tu papa, tu papa esta aqui ( is your dad, your dad is here.) My mine had in white. I didn't thing anything, I just got out of my seat and I run to hug him. I told my brother is dad. come on, let's helping him. He was carrying his luggage and some gifts for us. First thing I heard from him was como estas mijo( how are you son?) I gave a huge hug. But some reason this hug was too weird. I felt that something was missing. I felt that this hug was empty and that the presence of him was strange after 7/ 8 years of not being with him...

It felt strange this day, maybe is because the presence of my dad was missing. I felt that my dad was somebody strange that was visitin us. My dad was strange. I think it was because he was for a long time without us. My dad there to stay for almost a month and then combat with my mom, she was waiting for us in minnesota. We prepared everything to come. I really didn't say bye to my friends because I thouhght it would be like wishing me bad luck. It might sound weird and I was something my mom told me since I was kid. So I think this may influence in this decision of not saying good bye to any of my friends. I do remember that there was one girl from who I said bye to her. She was my best friend and I haven't see her since I left. She wished me good luck. I feeling so because I do want to talk to her so badly. The deal is that I can not have connection with her. I don't have her number. She is not living where she used to. You have pass by several things when it comes to immigrate for x reason.

It was the time to come, we had to leave early before the sunset to take the bus to our destiny. I remember I was saying good bye from my grandmother and my old brother. Everything come very fast but at the same time it was exciting the idea of pretty soon see my mom again. Reason to keep me moving forward.

The Furious of the Hurracane

Yes like I was saying, my dad had a petit argument about my action. Things had been passed. I thought everything would be ok. Things started to be worse because of the fairly economy in our petit house which very poor. It was like those houses that you only see in the movie town. My petit house was made all wood. It was simple but comfortable. We were living there for almost 14 or 15 years. I am not really sure. I barely remember much about when I was kid.

I do remember few things. This was impossible, the petit house where I used to live stay safe. I remember this day that we were passing by a terrible hurricane. The Pauline hurracane. I could not believe that our petit house aguanto(I don't know the word)... what a minute. My petit house resist the hurracane. I remember, my parents were outside of the house try to tie the techo (top of the house) to evite that the air take the roof out of the house. I was only a kid, I couldn't help so much. I was sitting in a almost sofa, my little brother was sleeping and I was taking care of him. It was tremensdously, the air was blowing so hard. We were in the middle of the hurracane. I was scared because my parents were outside tiering the roof. But at the same time I was safe because I hoping that my house could resist the hurracane. I wanted to see how the hurracane look like. I asked my mom that I wanted to see outside the house. My said "tu estas loco, esta muy feo afuera, quedate aqui dentro" (your are crazy, it is too bad outside, you better stay here). I was kind of courious that I wanted to see what was happening. Like my house was made of wood. It was litte separated bewteen the woods. I found it helpful that I stick my face close to one. I was trying to see outside. I was really terrible. All the tree were almost bending. The air was too strong I could barely see anything. I was hard to see if you wanted to drive. Nobody would be taking the risks.

I am not sure about how long this hurracane took place. What I do remember was that it was raining all day long. It was a school day. I was happy because I wasn't able to go school so I was the best thing to me. I was staying at home, taking my cafe con pan( coffee with bread) It was a good thing to me. But unanfourtanley, it was for others who were been affecteed by the furious of the huracan pauline.

Everything was passed already, but the next mornig everything was looking different because of the hurracane. It looking sad, very sad and lonely. When my mom asked to go to buy some tortillas. I saw peopl e trying to repair part of their houses. Others were not even there. Some of the house had parts took away by the strong air. Some trees were down or in the top of some houses. It was pretty sad. Everything looked weird. It was the effects of the hurracane.

The Huge Impossible

Every one has and is having a dream. I had it my dream and I am living it. One day I was at home. All of this happened when I was living in Mexico. I was in highs school or what we usually called preparatoria. I was in second semester. I was almost end it the first year of my high school (preparatoria). My parents were not living with me. They were decided to be live in the United States. They wanted to have a better life. I stayed with my brothers and my grandmother. I was living with for almost 3 or 4 years. The absence of my parents were very important. I was feeling stress because I was kind of in charge of raising my little brother. I was very uncomfortable at first living with my grandmother. My told me that I was a trouble with grandmother when I did not like to her. I don't know why If was a little petit baby. Otherwise I had to live with my grandmother and my half-brother. We did not have a fabulous relation with my brother because he was living with my grandmother. We lived separated for almost 15 years. We seen us each other for barely times. I remember one day that I went to visit him. My parents were still living in Mexico. I was in my grandmother's house. It found one petit casita (little house) I thought It was the most amazing little thing on my life. I took it and I started to play with it. Then my brother saw me playing with his petit house. It was really his house. I did not know. He got mad very soon. He almost hit me. My dad stops him. Then my grandmother entered in a discussion with my dad because of this.

Criteria on my writing

I think I am doing a nice job. Since I started, maybe I am not writing long enough as much as my others classmates. I know that this is not my first language and it is complicated sometimes. I also know that I still learning in my knowledge of the language. But It is not a big deal. I know I am able to realize this exercise. Which in certain way, It is helping me my academic achievement. I know that It could be at some part of my assignments phrases that do not make any sense. I am really trying to improve this minimum problem. Because I know It would go away with the practice and the study.

"This my favorite word because it all about me. First of all I did wish to have another, being able to chose my own name. But then I realize that my name is unique because it represent who I am. and uniqueness is printed in my name." it seems to make sense, once I reading again it kind me think in rewriting it.

Economy turn down

Economy the magic word that everyone is talking about. Everyone is worried because of this issue that is affecting most of the society. Especially, huge and powerful factories such as car factories and related. Until now I thought the economy it could not be a big issue. I realize that is the most important ingredient in a society. I heard about recession. I really don't know what was this word. I never heard before. Maybe I have never experimented before. But now, I know that it has to be with the GDP of the country. GDP in the united states is lower than normal.

This issues is in everywhere, TV News and so on. I also heard that we been in recession from the months ago, but now is when is declaring that United States is in recession. I hope that this issues do not take longer, because the longer it takes the more people would be losing their jobs, families would be fighting a big problem in relation to the economy. The expert in the theme says the recession usually takes around 10 months or less. But unfortunately, they also predict this recession would be longer than a year.

This is kind of funny because the dealers in order to get rid of the new vehicles, they are doing some offers. I was not expecting these. Buy a car and you get another for free. That is really weird because usually seems on clothes, notebooks, etc. but not in car. At some point, I think the economy is getting really bad. There are a lot of dealers especially are getting close because of consumers. We are playing an interesting role, but how are we going to buy when we are losing our jobs. We are not getting incomes. In particular, I am stable for now. I hope not to experiment as others people.

Critical post for some.

It is hard to read trouhg everyday. It probably take longer. But scannig through this blog I can notice that this person has a descriptive style of her life is about. It is most about memories during her life. It is pretty interesting listen to stories because most of us has one that is similar to one of these. I think that there is no wrong way to express you feelings. There are differents ways.

I think this person likes to write basically about her family. It is interesting to hear stories when she/he was a child. I would say that the type of writing of this person very descriptive because almost give many details of what really is talking about.

I notice that has good grammar writing with a high level of vocabulary. It has a good puntuaction. I think her writing is intend to people who would like to hear stories. I really think that this blog it is really in a descriptive language. I think this person is very expressive and that she express in her writing.

Greeetings

Hello everyone, I hope you have a good time. I went to dance with my girlfriend. I went to watch movies. I went to watch Transporter 3. It was pretty intensive. I liked because it is most action. I love action movies. I also love my name. This my favorite word because it all about me. First of all I did wish to have another, being able to chose my own name. But then I realize that my name is unique because it represent who I am. and uniqueness is printed in my name.

There this word called fabulous, I learned this word when I had Booker's class. He always use to say this word. I heard it so many times. I had facisnated in using it. I think it is pretty cool. I eat so much, but I could not sleep as ate. I am kind sleepy today. I had to work on weekend and this in certain way took my energy out. Hopely, the next would be more fascitanig...

Gracias

This year is almost ending, I believe that everyone is waiting for this new year to come. But before that we have be thanks full for what we have done so far. Usually in my family we don't celebrate thanksgiving. I know that is a tradition for the United States and I think for other countries. If I am being thanks full for something is that I am still alive and have the chance for being in this precious world that we have. I also feel wonderful because my family is with me. sometimes you don't even realize a lot of things you have done. There always an excused for not being thankful. People in these days seem to be very busy all the time, that there is not time for being grateful. I think we should be thankful with our selves because we have doing the rihgt and the wrong thing at some point. It is part of being human and we learn from our mistakes just as we learn to talk and write.

In my life since I have been which is about almost 4 year, my life have been so good in the particular. Sometime it is hard because you come to a differet place, you have to adapt to everything such as lifestyle, people, food, living. I am being thankful because I have met so much nice people that have show me that there is always a reason to live and keep going. People who like me have been and the same situation and that have been doing so well where they are now.

A lot of people have been helping in my learning, I can say thank you I wish all the goodness for their families and them. Thankful because I have the opportunity of having an education and becuase many of the friends I have are having different opportunitiese just like me. Thankful for having a food everyday. I hope that those people who do not have the opportunity to have the privilege the most of us have. I hope that one day they could have one.

Days ago, my girlfriend invite to be a volunteer. It was about to pack food for people who were starving in some part of Africa. It was about 25 people. We worked for about 2 hours. It was pretty cool, because everyone one was coming from some different schools. I don't remember where exclaty was but I remember that everyone had a good enthusiasms. We worked as a group. I was working with my girlfriend's mom and her cousin. It was fun, after we done we went to pray for the boxes we have packed and we hope to get these boxes to the destination.

I am being thakful because I have the chance to love and be in love with my life. I love my family. I love my mom because she is the best mom. She always working hard. That is something that I have learned from her. I love my brother because I know he cares about me. I do care about me. I feel sorry because for some reason I forgot his birthday. Nome of my family remember that.

I love my family and love my girlfriend and friends. Thank you everyone for being you. That is the best thing you have.

Blogs for Graphic Designers

The use of Blogs for many graphic designers has been a huge tool as writing your own graphic design blog. Writing  your blog can attract many other designers, people with differents ideas, it can also help you to promote your bussiness and help to encourage yourself as an expert.

Having a blog may attract clients. When someone relatively in design in desing look for person to create a logo or any other design. First thing they do is to look for your porfolio. So it is important that you impressed them with a blog that shows your skills and also shows your knowledge in the area. A constantly undated blog shows that you are active person in relation to the design. It also shows that you are really looking for ideas and always thinking in new ways for design. 

Who were known as the father of Graphic Design?

According to the research I've doing, I found that Piet Mondrian is known as the father of graphic design. He was born in March, 1872. He was descended from Christian Dirkzoon Monderyan who lived in the Hague as early as 1670

Benefits for Graphic Design

Most of the graphic designer who started in this career are self employes refering to they work under  their own restrictions. According to the reports, Graphic Design is the second in career in the advertising industry. Many of the benefits could be: If you really are an expert in graphic design you problably don't have to worry about losing y0ur job as long as you keep working and creating new and fresh ideas for advertising.

Also graphic designer with a huge talent could be making  $ 1000 montly,  sounds pretty interesting when you only have to work in your computer from home or any other place.

Graphic design include a range of many things as photography, computer advance technology, internet advertising, publishing magazine, title of books, filming, television, animation, art, printing. As you see graphic design can navigate in different was.

It is also important to know the basic of grapchic design. With this basis techniques you can also get into 3D design, web design, post-production, animation, comic,etc. It is important to learn the design basis.

Finallly, there so many advantages of graphic design technology, that is not dificult to use, in one month of training daily you can understand the graphic design software, four or three months you may be independent user. But remender graphic design software is wide too expanded, so keep working life long learning, with the spirit of creative growing.

Steal or not?

It is a bad thing that people steal from other especially when they take this as a form of surviving because they claim not having a job or just because they think It is the easiest way to get money. I think people are so wrong and this shouldn't be happening. I know that this is not a goodness and peaceful world. You really don't expect what can happen tomorrow. There is a also the type of person that are stealing because they are hungry. I believe there are others ways for surviving, perhaps you could borrow money from someone else and start from there. In the pirates thing, I think that these people are desesperated that they are just trying to look for a war of getting money. I don't know how this is going to end up. Hopely the mine of these people change and realize that what are they doing so wrong. The right of steal is not right.

Just another prube

Test are always a pain for us including me. I think that test or exams shouldn't atterorize when it comes to you. I think test are just paper that show what you know and you have learn so far. Nobody like test because of us. We been claiming what we have to do this and why we have to take it. It is true like Becky said we been living a culture of tests all the life. I think we must take test in order to graduate from a certain school. It is going to show what you learned. I think this is a good way to show your knowledge. Things are going get you freely, you must do and workd hard in order to get it done in whatever you want.

I feel ok, I feel motivated when I hear people to say: "Oh yeah, I remenber I took that test,..." so I said to my self if she or he have done it before why should I am not? I think it replies in every single person. Some really don't like to be tested for x reason. Some of them dont batter.

Fourtanley, there is not a test about how to live and you have to passed in order to get married. This would be harder I believe.

What it is graphic design?

I choose this topic because it is one of my things that I am really interesting. I also would like to be one of this person who woks doing this.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is considered as a form of art converted in profession. The point of graphic design is to comunicate message througt this principals as images words or ideas. Graphic design is every world. We can graphic design in our favorite movie, favorite book or in a Stark Bucks coffee.

As you see graphic design has been developed so fast as equal to new industries whom desire to get people involved in it. They need advertise their companies. They need to show people they are there and they trying to sell products, etc. They would a graphic designer able to convert ideas and messages in a visual communication.

1993 - Internet: Mosiac -> Netscape


A lot of many of the web sites that I have read about history of graphic design. I have found that many of the web sites doesn't say specifically where It started as a discovering or something like this. So I made my conclusion and I think Graphic Design start with the geroflycs that back in the day used to leave on the caves where they used to live. I think that this was perhaps the beginning of Graphic Design.  But I also think that the expanding of Graphic Design increases through the modernization and development of the civilization.

Another blog to the list...

I found this blog which is called amyinthewind.blogspot.com. This unknown write talks about mosty of his family as many of us. I think she mention what are the steps or some way of keeping you out of stress with a clearly mind of your life and your surroundings. she said that she tried not to drink too coffee because she has some issues s0 if she drink too much coffee could be a problem. She also talks about stories that she and her family has. One of her stories that come to my mind is that she has a daughert that she always complaining, she doesn't want to be alone.

Supposely google knows when you getting flu

I look this blog from blogs.com and I talks about Google telling you when are getting the influence of flue. I really don't believe that this searcher would be able to tell everyone that you getting flue within a few weeks. But since I read something that I probably never thing about it. Google won't call you and tell you " today is the time to getting flu be prepared." But what I notice is that this blog talks about people usually use internet to look for symptoms for flue. By doing this it is probably a wise idea of attacked it before the flue get worse. I also says that technology have been increasing so much in many different way that most of people look information before to going to the doctor.

Google claims that is have been recording the activity of flu in the United States. That is why they were able to create what is called " Flu Trend Page " where is show a graphic of how is the activity of flue in part of the United States. According to this page Minnesota is a minimal level of people getting the influence. It is pretty cool, more people healthier don't you think.

It is pretty cool that Google is taking over the place and most people go to Google and look information of what they want.

Thank you Becky

Thanks to Becky for having this class. I have never experimented before. I think it is really exciting write and read other lectures. I think this is one of the best classes that I have because I feel free to write what in my mind is.

I think this way of writing involved so much technology and also creativity. It gives you the opportunity to write freely and go on... In my personal it is a good way of expresing my self freely without any pressure on my shoulder on what I should be doing. I believe many of people who have been using blogs and other types of free posting. They probably would be agree with me that it is really fantastic and unique way of expressing your feelings in whatever your mind might think.

I been reading part of some of the blogs and I think everyone feels more free to write in what they wanted to write. (wait a minute) but without forgetting about the assignment that we suppose to do in order to get a credit.

I have to confessed that this is my first time of having a blog. I am starting to think that it is pretty cool. Thanks to Becky for this fabulous idea. I have read some of the Becky stories and part of her life. It helps to know more about her. It is really interesting what she have to say and she expect from our new government that pretty soon would get in charge. It is unique how she express nicely about her partner and her lovely son. I can see that this is one of the biggest things in her life. Thanks Becky I hope you the best for your family.

Big thing come in little packages...

this is one of my favorites quotes " big things come in little packages. It could be that it doesn't mean anything to other people, but to my self is a tool of inspiration. i always see people around that are taller than me. this is huge problem that i have because it makes me feel shorter that i am not growing so far. You might think that this is a stupid. People doesn't need to be huge and tall in order to have a enourmes personality. Like I said before that how make me feel. Two years ago I was taking english classes in a church. This kind of church were they help people whom the english is not the fist language, well this is my case, i went to this church for some short time. this is where i heard this quote that was stucking in my head until now. i give me so much entusiastic. this man who told the quote it seems to be a wise person. a person who knew what he was talking about. until this time this quote still in my head and everytime someone says something related to my high, in certain way it remove my heart inside. but then i tell this quote and everything come real and normal. "Big things come in little packages"
