Movie Pod cast.

Currently we are doing pod casts on our favorite movie. I chose the movie Click. Today I wrote the script from my memory because I just watched the movie last night. Tomorrow im gonna work on recording my voice to make the pod cast, and then add pictures and music to it. This project has been pretty fun so far even though I'm not that far into it yet. Hopefully it will turn out good and how I expect it. Im kinda scared of how my voice will sound during it though because I don't want it to sound like I'm reading from something. So hopefully this project will turn out good.

NASA

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download   the highest resolution version available.
Explanation: As the Sun heads South, crossing the celestial equator today at 1:37 a.m. Eastern Time, Autumn begins for Earth's Northern Hemisphere. This Autumnal Equinox finds an increasingly active Sun steadily approaching a solar cycle maximum expected around the year 2003. The solar activity cycle is driven by a periodic winding up of the Sun's internal magnetic field. This colorized picture is a mosaic of recent ultraviolet images from the orbiting TRACE satellite sensitive to light emitted by highly charged iron atoms. Growing in number, the intricate structures visible are the Sun's hot active regions with temperatures over a million degrees Fahrenheit and their associated magnetic loops.

 I choose this picture because it shows what it looks like when the season is changing to Autumn. I was born on the first day of Autumn and my Mom almost named me Autumn. So i thought it was really intresting because we are not able to see how this looks like on the Earth. I also chose this picture because its really cool to see it ultraviolet.  Astronomy is also very intresting because its cool to see how the the different planets look.  Earth looks pretty cool from outerspace. Earth is my favorite planet. The sun is also my favorite star because it keeps us warm and living.

Music

 My favorite type of music is 80's rock and metal. The reason why i like this music is because i grew up with it. My sister would always listen to bands like Guns n' Roses and Metallica. She is the reason why I love Metallica so much because she would always blare it in her room and i could always hear it through out the house. Also the band Metallica inspired me to play the Guitar. Their music is so unique that you can tell its them playing as soon as you hear the opening riff. They have never changed their music for people, it has always been the same and thats what i love about the band. James Hetfield, the vocalist and one of the  guitarist, has a big influence on me when i play the guitar. Also Lars Ulrich, the lead guitarist is another person that i can look up to. These two are simply amazing.  Lastly , Dimebag Darrel of the band Pantera, will have an ever lasting influence on me.  RIP.

Sports media

Many athletes have gotten into trouble from drug uses, such as steroids. I think that sometimes the media goes to far into the athletes  personal life.  Although sometimes it is important to tell the people the reason why they are not able to participate in their sport anymore. But when the media wont let it go, they end up getting more information about it and making it a bigger deal that what it actually is. As far as Michael Phelps goes, i feel really bad for him because he has worked so hard and has come along way, and one picture can ruin everything for him. Hopefully the Judge will look past his bad mistake and look at how great of an athlete he is.

Housing crisis.

The housing crisis is becoming a threat to many Americans today. With morgage prices rising it is becoming very hard for some people to pay their bill on time, or even at all. The government therefore takes their house if they are not able to pay for it. This is bad and good because some people are just to lazy to get a job and they dont have their priorities straight, or they dont know how to manage their money. For others who actually work for a living and that are trying to do their best are the people i feel sorry for. I think that the government should help those people find a house that they can afford at the time being. But all in all the housing crisis is not a a good thing , and its becoming a growing problem.
