Entry #1
9/11/2014


Why am I taking this course?

I could keep it short and sweet and just say this is a required class for my major; but to be honest I did purposefully choose Intro to Mass Comm.  I am a Mass Communications major who has no idea what to concentrate in. I chose this major so I could take German, theater, political science, and only have two math classes for freshman year and none after. I was a student who chose a major with no intention of doing anything with it. How am I supposed to apply what I learn to my future, if I know nothing if my field?

This is the very first blog entry I have ever made. It is a new experience and I'm positive that I'll continue to use it after this semester. The purpose of a blog is for a person to share their thoughts and opinions on various subjects. It's safe to assume that using a blog will get my feet wet for any journalism I plan to do in the future. I can take full advantage of my assigned blog entries to convey my thoughts and learn how to reach an audience through typing articles. Yes, this will indeed work out for me. 

Now that I'm in my second year at North Carolina Central University, it's time for me to decide what I want to do with my life. I've always thought that reviewing movies, television, books etc. would be an interesting and fun job. That led me to discover that journalism would be the correct path to take as a concentration. However, if I am to pursue a career in anything I must learn as much as possible about my major. I'd rather have no major than wallow around aimlessly while my peers have career paths to be actively involved in.

Keijo!!!!!!!!: Weaponized Sexiness

-

People that describe Keijo as "just a fanservice show" or anything similar to that, don't seem to understand the point of fanservice. It's been almost two years since the show aired and people still don't get it. With Keijo it's like someone hears a joke, doesn't get the setup or punchline, and then heckles the comedian and audience. Keijo is the titular water sport where girls stand on a small floating arena and compete against one another. The aim is to push the other contestant off of the arena into the water, but players are forbidden to use their limbs. They are only allowed to use their hips and chests to fight. However, they are freed to launch their attack to any body parts of their opponents, including their opponent's face and vital points. Now don't get me wrong, the characters in Keijo are very, very sexy but what makes the series not fanservice is in the the way the girls frame and discuss their body parts. The cast of Keijo

Day 27- Most Badass Scene

Zoro takes Luffy's Pain - One Piece Zoro is badass, there's no better way to describe him. He's a ridiculously strong swordsman who can dish out as much as he can take. There a lot of moments from him I could use for today. In the Alabasta arc he defeated Mr.1 by cutting through steel. His most recent feat of strength was in the Dressrosa arc where he cut through Pica, an already enormous man who was able to use his Stone-Stone fruit abilities to merge with the ground and become a giant. It's always cool seeing the damage he can do but his endurance is also really impressive. After an exhausting battle with  Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the sea, the Straw Hat pirates are confronted by another warlord Bartholomew Kuma. Kuma easily blew away the crew and was ready to take Luffy but Zoro offered his life instead. So Kuma, using his Paw-Paw fruit, absorbed all the pain Luffy experienced in the fight with Moria and tells Zoro to experience it. The scene sh

Day 28 - Favorite Quote

Mikazuki Augus - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans The quote itself isn't anything special but the context and delivery are why I love it. Mikazuki, the protagonist, is a cold blooded killer with emphasis on the cold. For his enemies it's terrify how calm he is when killing people on the battlefield but I find it amusing. He doesn't enjoy killing he just sees it as something he has to do, so he doesn't even consider mercy or empathy. This scene in particular is great because an enemy is calling him out being so ruthless in combat and while Mikazuki surprised to hear this for a moment he just shrugs it off and says "Well, Whatever" and then kills the guy anyway. He just doesn't care.
