The Road Less Travled

Being pasionate about your job is extreamly important in living a happy life. When spending 30-40years in a career you dont like it can only lead to unhappyness and pain. My mother and father both enjoy their jobs and are relitivly happy at there workplace. Work is not work if you enjoy it. I am currently unsure on what career I will chose but I am sure I will have pleanty of fun doing it. An ideal job for me would be one that has summers off or a long vacation time in that season, I would also want to make sure I get paid a good salary so I can travle and buy a sick boat. When I was young I was planning on becoming a paleontologist and digging up dinosaur bones. Another career that I was interested in was being a dentist, I have chosen not to pursue this career because of the amount of sciences in university it requires. I am planning on attending Okanagan collage and then a university. I am hoping to broden my horizons and find a fun filled career enjoyable for the rest on my life.

review of Ronix One Board

The One is an incredible board, its no wonder Ronix wakeboard chose it for there showcase board. The One board come in two options, the standard wake edition in white, and the ATR edition in black and yellow. This special edition is used for rails, sliders and jumps. Its extra durable because of its sintered base material allowing it to be stronger without sacrificing speed on the water. The ATR edition comes with standard fins as-well as slider fins for use of cable parks. The One board is also equipped with the new Krypto Cable, allowing the board extra strength and flex. This cable surrounds the edge of the board making the sides its strongest point rather than weakest. Its stunning new graphic is mind-boggling. Its not a surprise that people who don't wakeboard, result in buying this product for sheer art purposes. This board also has a thin profile reducing swing weight, making it a joy to ride. its three-stage rocker sends riders soaring into the atmosphere. Because of its variety of sizes, this board is available to almost anyone. Wake-boarding is a relatively new sport, the Ronix One has evolved the way of riding yet again.

watchmen blog

Superheroes have evolved over the years in a variety of ways. Super man who was created in about 1933 wearing really tight pants and shirt with a bright red S on his shirt would draw much attention to himself; he would need to take extra care to hide his identity. Wolverine on the other hand looks more normal and rugged. He was portrayed in X-men origins to have been a tough woodsman and would blend into a crowd not drawing attention to him self. He wears no mask unlike batman and Spiderman who conceal there identity. In the book watchmen there are a variety of characters, all having super powers. This group of superheros was created in 1986 and took place during the cold war. Superheroes are here to help, they may not be real but they have morals and can prove to be someone to look up to if needed.

Review of my wakesurf

The Liquid Force Custom Thruster is an amazing Wakesurf. The light weight design truly brings out the best of Wakesurfing. This 4.6 board is the perfect size for doing tricks and carving. This board has a 3 fin set up superior tracking off the bottom and quicker edge to edge transition. It is nice to ride and fits rider weight up to 200lbs. The colour is a classic surfboard white and has a rainbow edge surrounding the border of the vessel. This board may look great and perform supreme excellence but it lacks durability. Last summer I purchased this board, within the first month it had a slight gash witch lead into a water filled crack, weighting it down by the tens of pounds. This proved to be a major flaw in the construction of this board. The company should put a protective layer to defend it from harm. When using this board one must give it tender loving care. This board may be excellent in weight and speed but lack the necessary durability of what a Wakesurf needs to last more than a few months of riding.

perception is everything

In the presentation by Beau Otto on optical illusions he states that what we see is not necessarily real. Every one my see that same thing but be influenced and notice it in different ways. The colour blue for someone could really be someone else’s red, but have been taught that it’s called blue.  If everyone saw the same thing interpreting it in the same way we as humans would be identical and indifferent. Our world would be boring. In his presentation he has a swarm of bee’s collecting honey from different circles shawn with different colours. The bees were tricked by the illusion and the shadows to get honey from different coloured circles then from what they did in the past. The media in our society influences us dramatically. Photoshop can create illusions and make our minds think differently and make decisions based on something that is not necessarily true. In our world today people need to be careful what they believe because not everything is what we think it is.

The Perils of Indifference

The risk of no concern

The horrifically surprising ending in the story "the lottery" demonstrates how power in numbers can truly influence normal people’s way of thought. The dramatic conclusion of this story sheds light on how terrible crimes can be committed. In this situation people knew that someone would die. They were only concerned for there selves. They were focused on how they were not getting killed and not how terrible this event truly is. This situation relates to the holocaust. People during the age of this sickening time in our history knew what was happening to the Jews. Yet people did nothing. People may have thought that it’s not affecting me so I don’t need to do anything about it. The situation soon got carried away and Hitler needed to be stopped. Roughly ten million people were killed during this terrible event. People are scared to stand out. Normal people turn bad in situations like these. In Elie Wiesel's speech she spoke about how people tend to want to be indifferent, be the same as everyone in the group. They are followers not doing what there heart tells them, only what is expected. All of these works, people are not caring for others and being selfish, perhaps the day will come where our nabour is thought of first, before ourselves.
