Reaction

America has always placed upon society certain expectations. It isn’t supprising what I read in the book. Everywhere you turn to you see posters or billboards of beautiful women or sexy guys and whatnot. To many people, these models, musicians, and actor/actresses serve as icons and idols to the younger minority. Everyone finds influence from something, could come from peer pressure to persuasion from televesion or a billboard ad. This influence that the media and these people have over us isn’t all bad though. How many people have been encouraged by something they have seen on television, the news, in the sports, on the radio, that encouraged them to get up and do something constructive with their time or talents or money. I know i was encouraged by my favorite athlete to try sand be the best at whatever sport i played. I have friends who saw ads on tv. and guys on the cover of male fitness magazines, who decided i want to be more like those guys and try to better myself. At the same time though, most men aren’t to be as influenced by the goal to be skinny and sexy like women are. The pressure placed onto a woman to have a certain figure and certain weight is definately blown out of porportion. You see on tv. all the time abuot anerexia and balemia, and other certain eating and health disorders usually related to women. Truth is not many guys out there are looking for a girl who weighs under 100 lbs, even though the media places pressure towards women to be like this, there is no need. You look in magazines and see pictures of men, and all you see are either the big beefy steroidal guys, or the sculpted cut from stone guys and thats how we are supposed to look to women.  The thing is is that you look at these people and how men are pictured to look, and helf of these guys are made of muscle with no brians to back them up.

Winter break

Michigan. Not only known for its great lakes but for its beautiful winters full of snow. That’s my favorite part of the year, the winter season.  While I was home recently over winter break, I purchased a snowmobile, awesome. It’s a 2006 Arctic Cat F7, fire orange and black in color, and fasts as lightning. I love racing snowmobiles, and I love all motorsports in general. When my new snowmobile was delivered, it was heaven.  As soon as it was loaded off the trailer I was up and running, tearing up the snow creating a blizzard behind me while I’m cruising at light speed.  It was an adrenaline rush. I put just under 400 miles on within the first day I was driving. I rode all day through the trails driving to different snowmobile lodges. I got confused a couple times where I was going but you can never be lost if you have a tank filled with gas. All you have to do to get back on track is drive. I went out to my lake house with a couple of my friends to mess around on the machines. We were racing around and jumping the sleds all weekend until all of our clothes reeked from the exhaust fumes.  In total I put close to around 2,500 miles on her over break. I did a lot of riding. Drove it over to Kristin’s house, a friend from up by the lake. The darn thing broke down on the side of the road and I had to have her dad come help me load it on the trailer, and help me fix it. We got it running and headed back to her house. Messed around a little over at her place then headed back to my cabin to get packed. I loaded up my sled and all my belongings and headed back south towards home. I love it up there at my lake house. It’s a little piece of heaving in my life, I love it.

Colloege is different i guess

Well since anyone can read this, what is said in the blog room stays in the blogroom. When i first got here i thought it was goign to be a blast, which it has. I figured it would be all parties and stayin up late and cute girls everywhere. Well, I was wrong. The horrifying reality set in the first week of class, not to mention that i was playing football which made it even tougher to focus in class. Football was tough and school just felt like it was cramping my schedual so i tended not to go to class so much, o well, i managed. I can’t complain though, after ending my football career schoool got easier and i met more people and found myself enjoying the college life a little better. The college parties, overrated. I come from michigan where we hold two of the great big ten teams, Michigan, and Michigan State. At MSU and UofM all the parties are house parties where anyone is welcome, here at Purdue, its all about the frats. But, being from michigan and knowing noone that is hard for me to go to especially because they have a list at every party and i cant seem to ever find my name on it, but i manage to get in anyways so o well. Well there is my view on college life, basicly is the slow road to the real world, and they teach you some shit and hope that you remember it and if you dont who cares, they dont. Thank you and come read my blog next week. Untill then……
