Final:

If you haven’t seen the show Ridiculousness first off, you’re missing out. Secondly it’s seriously crazy. So today’s blog post is going to be talking about this show created by Rob Dydek. On the show people do incredible things and I really don’t know how some people do not die on this show. Now enjoy my opinions about the show Ridiculousness.



On this show, Rod along with two other guests, go through videos that they find on the internet. All of the videos are truly ridiculous. They cauterize the different videos into different things. The first one starts out with ‘Red Neck Good Times’ which involved some silly hillbillies and some mud. Rob narrates the whole time which making everything really funny. Then they have ‘Double Whammies’ which is when they get hurt twice while doing one things. But my favorite is while people are making an honest attempt to bounce on a pogo stick. Fallowed by people getting humped by some really crazy animals. Pretty much its about such people doing crazy things.

Why does this video matter to me? Because my week day nights consume of watching Ridiculousness before I go to bed. I love to sit there and watch it while I laugh until I cry. I have done some pretty crazy stuff, but not half as crazy as the videos on the show. My favorite part of the whole thing is that the videos aren’t set up. People don’t do these things on purpose and send them in. On America’s Funniest Home Videos is a lot set up and people just do it to be on TV. But Ridiculousness is all real life and they have to go out and find the video.

Even though the videos on Ridiculousness have nothing to do with me, I still find it to affect my life because I do spend a lot of time watching it. It always gives me a great laugh when I’m having an off day. It over-all makes me happy watching other peoples stupid pain. I have also learned not to do really stupid things or they could end up in a dumb show. So I have no personal connection to the show, but it is comical.

Lastly, this video is just a great source of happiness and laughter. You can watch people for a straight half hour make complete idiots out of themselves. What is better than that? Would I personally like to be on the show? No. But I would like to experience some of the crazy stuff the people in the video do. it’s a real show, with real people, and real craziness. It is purely ridiculous.

Accomplishments:

So. Today is my second to last blog post. The only thing I have left is finals and today I’m going to write about an accomplishment that I am most proud of. I have many though and can’t just pick one. My first one would have to be earning my letterman jacket. I got on varsity my sophomore year for the first time which is a great thing to do. i spent all year working toward it. All of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into that stupid jacket letter was all worth it in the end. Every time I wear it, I can remember everything that went into making that team. I came a long way and approved a lot. Secondly, getting my license was important to me. I was not a very good driver and never in a million years thought I would ever pass the test but after spending two hours practicing the maneuver ability, I passed missing no points. The test was easy anyways all you had to do was go down roads that no one even goes on. Oh well I was still proud that I did it. Lastly, is probably that so far I’m being a pretty good girl. At 16 years old I don’t do drugs, have sex, or drink alcohol. I’ve been school focused and has had great grades. Overall I’m doing great and hope it continues.

Thinking:

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I believe that everything I do has a purpose. I believe that God has a path for you but it is you choice whether to follow the good path or not. That’s why when girls get pregnant in high school, it’s for a reason. Am I saying that that’s a good thing? No. But I do want to express my opinion about teen pregnancy. I do not believe in pre marital sex but other do. Whether they were in a long term relationship, if they think that sex is okay as a teen, if they got in a bad situation, if they were pressured, if they got caught up in the moment, if they wanted to fit in, if their parents said it was fine, if they wanted to rebel, if they just wanted to try it, or if they were under the influence. Whatever the situation, whatever the right choice was, they most likely regretted it. I do not believe that you are old enough as a teen to know the real reason to sex. That’s why they say ‘no sex until marriage’. In some cases I don’t think that is true. If you are in your late twenties and in a long term relationship, it should be fine. But as a teen girl that doesn’t even know herself yet, it is not right to give up the only thing that is one hundred percent yours. When girls get pregnant in high school, it’s most likely unplanned. I know that sometimes I have a hard time taking care of myself, so I know I couldn’t take care of a child. Girls don’t think about what could happen because of having sex. Your whole life is changed. Its expensive, a lot of the time you don’t finish school, you’re tired all the time, its harder to go to college, your life is all about the child, you lose friends and respect from people, and you are forced to grow up. Guys don’t think about what they’re doing either. They have to be there for that child too and you sacrifice a lot. Not to mention you are stuck with that girl for forever. All I am saying is think before you do things. Don’t make bad choices.

blogging:

Review this class. Was it what you expected? If it were up to you, what would you change? What would you keep the same? Use details to support your answer.

Alright. Here we go. So when I looked on my schedule and saw I had ‘Blogging’ I was so confused because I had no idea what that was. I knew that a blog was when people went and talked about a topic or whatever but I didn’t think there was such thing as a blogging class. it didn’t make since to me, so I Googled it. I was expecting to learn about different blogs in the classroom and it be super boring. I thought we would learn how to blog and the different things you could do with blogger. So pretty much it was the complete opposite f what I thought it would be. I didn’t really think we would be able to write our blog post every day. So it was kind of nice. I like that we could write about anything that we want but that if we couldn’t think of anything, he gave us an idea. I over all liked the class because it was easy and when you got done with your work you could do whatever you wanted. I liked that all of the posts were about our personal opinion so it made you dig deep and think about things. It was an okay class overall.

Money:

If you were offered $100,000 today or $1,000,000 fifteen years from today, which would you choose? Explain how and why you would make this decision.
I’m a high school student who is broke I have around two hundred to my name. That is not going to get me through life. I have many, many student loans I’m going to have to pay off since I’m going to be in school for around eight years. I’m broke right now but $100,000 isn’t going to do much right now. I would rather wait until I’m done with school and getting ready to start a family to take the money. I could pay back all my loans and I could start a family and take care of them with no problems. I would have no issue sending my children to good colleges and getting them car when they come of age. I wouldn’t have to depend on work. I could work because I want to and because that’s what I spent so much time studying on. I wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough money to have a good life. I would be able to have a nice house and be overall happy. I would rather wait because there is no reason to have that much money as a teenager. I don’t have as much responsibility as I would in fifteen years.

Snow Days:

Okay so a lot of things come along with winter. All of them besides Christmas, I hate. I hate the snow. I hate the cold. I hate winter clothes. I hate not being able to go outside without freezing. I hate not being able to drive when the roads are bad. I hate ice. I hate making snowmen. I had where gloves. I hate having o start my car 30 minutes before I leave. Over all I cannot stand winter. Besides Christmas the one and only single thing that is good about winter is having a snow day. There is nothing better at all then getting up early in the morning, turning on the news or your phone, and finding out that we have a snow day. You were hoping and praying before you go to bed that it would keep snowing. So at soon as you see that your dreams have came true, you drop everything you do and go back to sleep. I don’t get up until noon then do nothing all day but relax. What’s even better is when you are scheduled to have a big text that day and you miss it. It’s truly wonderful. So even though I hate snow, I love snow days. There is nothing better. Si where your pajamas inside out, or do a snow dance, as long as we get a snow day.

Break:

My 2011 break was very interesting. The first day of break I went and saw the movie New Years Eve. Which was legit probably the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen. I will never watch anything that dumb again. All the stories ended up coming together in the end and it was so predictable. The second day I made cookies with my family for Christmas. The third day I took my second to last driving lesson with the instructor. That was more than horrible. I didn’t do very good. Then it was Christmas Eve and I was so excited to go to my grandmas and eat lots of great food. The next day was Christmas and I was so happy because I got exactly what I wanted, my laptop and my letterman jacket. My closes friend came over that day too. The day after Christmas was my last driving day and I now plan on getting my license on Saturday because I passed the course. The week after Christmas was very relaxing. I got up really late and went to bed really late. I hung out with my friends and went to parties on New Years. I hate the last day of break but I spent it with a few friends watching the bowl games. Overall it was a great break and I had a nice relaxing time. But I didn’t was to go back to school at all. Waking up in the morning was horrible, enough said.
