Review Class

To say the least this class was very interesting... There were both good and bad things about the class.
Pros

• I learned how to format word so it would automatically indent each paragraph in the paper. This was a little bit of a time saver and learned how to use the same tool for the citation page. 
• I had to make sure each paper was thoroughly proofed from beginning to end, so I feel many of my papers were a step above my previous writing.
• There were no books we had to read.

Cons   

• After awhile the topic of social media started to get old, just overused
• When in class many times we were given an assignment, however the instructions were often time misleading and confusing. This was very stressful and sometimes overloaded myself with work I did not even know how to start.
• ALL THE WEBSITES!!! We must have signed up for at least 5 or 6 new sites for the class. I do not think I will ever use them gain outside of the class. Such as second life, it was kind of a waste of time, and no point (now spam emails)
• Reviews of papers. Well I like part of the meeting while reviewing my paper, most of the meetings were too long. I could understand if it was all based on the paper, but a lot of that time was spent on a dragged out conversation on why a single line was wrong. Which in turn usually brought up another point outside of the essay which took more time. 
• I LIKE YOUTUBE <3... others are on there social media browsing, that one is mine!

While it seems like the "cons" overtake the "pros"  the class itself was not awful. If you enjoy social media and would like a class biased around it, this class is for you. Especially if your not into the fiction/creative writing type and prefer more research and analyze. Plus the teacher is willing to work with you if she's free.

Now for my final YouTube compilation... The top three amazing people doing amazing things.

3) (2011) the music in this video can get repetitive and annoying, but the clips are most sports based which is what I like. I helicopter golfer, redbull stunt men, and other make this video in my top favorites.

 
2) (2012) Now the music they put to this video makes it that much more epic. But the people deserve the most credit. With flips, amazing dancing, extreme sports, parkour, it will draw your attention. It makes me say wow ever single time.

  

1) With this video being over 62 million views its no wonder it make number 1 in my countdown. The weirdness of the thing the people are doing is what makes the video so enthralling  and i recommend to search "Awesome people doing Awesome things" ans watch some of the videos. These are the things that you say thank god we filmed these because they are just simply amazing.

GOODBYEEEE ALLL!!!!!!!

Review of the Phones

iOS vs. Android Review

Fellow classmate nicknamed Dakk50, wrote a review over the great debate between iOS devices (iPhone) and Androids. It's blatantly obvious that he is supporting Androids over top of iPhone he has some good key points over the topic.

He clearly states that his opinion is biased and when reading the blurb you can clearly see its for the Android devices. He talks about the variety between all of the different Android phones, like the Galaxy s3 and HTV Evo 4G, compared to iPhone which only update there product iPhone 4, 4s, 5... etc. 

One of his key criticisms was the high prices of the phones. However he never states any of the prices for either the iPhone or Android devices. Showing the price comparison would have created an even stronger argument for his debate. 

Another was screen control, he states, " I'm the type of guy that prefers complete control over nearly every part of my phone [...]. With iOS, you are stuck to one type of home screen, menu whatever. I prefer customization, but some people prefer the simplicity of the iOS." If I were him I would go a little more depth into what you can customize between the two phones.

Something I couldn't tell if he touched on was the the actual size difference between the phones. Trust me there a BIG difference between Galaxy s3 and iPhone 5. People who like small phones would have probably preferred the iPhone over top of the Androids. The iPhone can pretty much fit in the screen of the Galaxy s3.

Overall Dakk50 expresses his opinion of the two phones. However, his input could have been stronger if he fixes some simple capitalization of (i - to - I), and includes some of the points I touched on. Myself owning both an Android and iPhone, I too prefer Androids. the customization blows apple out of the water. All of there apps are set in place I could move mine where ever wanted too. Also te apps did not have to be just the little boxes  you could customize the size of the application. 

So iPhone or Android... Comment below   

Wanelo

Now I was just turned on to this smart phone app a few days ago and I can honestly say I probably wasted two hours siftng through it's contest the first day.
It's called WANELO

It what's hot, what's new, and what's trending. Basically it takes cool (AWESOME) clothing and accessories and puts them on one site to buy. People can post there own gear, shirts, and items up on the site that they thought were cool.

Now the layout. It pretty much has the same has the same layout as Instagram on the smartphone minus the picture taking function. Its laid out as follows... (left to right)

• Wanelo

This is were you can scroll through the products and see what you like. You click on them to make the picture bigger and read the description. It also gives you the ability to buy or save the item in a wishlist. Finally can follow the link to the website of them item.

• My Feed

My feed is anything that you or your followers, comment on the pictures that you saved in your wishlist. Which allows you to see what your friends are looking at.

• Alerts

Just joining I only have two alerts. I can assume that its used to talk about products and the app itself.

• You

On this page it displays all the picture you have saved into one collection. Then you can filter your pictures (when you have the app for awhile) by the custom wishlists you make. You can name them anything, such as, Dope shoes, Dank-Tops, Shades, etc.

Here's some of the awesome gear off Wanelo

FOR THE GUYS

Now don't get me wrong but I would rock all of these. And ladies I feel like I'm leaving you out a little, however I don't really know fashion. But there is an entire girls section separate from the guys page and you can filter your search to display only women's items. (Also a Home and Kids section) 

If you haven't updated your clothes or style in a while you should definitely give Wanelo, for the simple layout, Awesome!!! items, and available on computer and mobile.    

 
  

Rock Climbing

My Forearms are on FIRE!!!!

Rock climbing is one of my favorite things to do on top of lifting, hiking and camping. It can be recreational, professional, or just crazy people doing amazing climbs. If your looking or a thrill or a good workout i recommend rock climbing to anyone. 

But, with every sport there's always the professionals and the idiots and I'm going to sa leave it to the pros on this one. Here's my top 5 rock climbing favorites from, you got it, Youtube.

5) I know what our going to say... trust me. But, these Asian rock climbers are amazing and scale these rock walls so fast I really can't even fathom how they do it. 

4) Lets take a break from the rocks and look at something a little different. How about climbing up buildings? Alain Robert is the French Spiderman.

3) If you could fathom the number 5 on the list, like myself, this one is going to be harder. This man nicknamed the human spiderman make me feel worthless on a rock wall. Whether its his finger strength, and just natural ability I recommend looking up more videos about this crazy man.

  

2) Two words... Alex Honnold. Possibly the best climber in the world, he climbs amazing heights without the aid of ropes or harnesses. He will die, if he falls!!

P.S. sorry for length its just breath taking 

1) Finally probably the most famous rock climbing event, because it ended so poorly. 127 hours a movie made about the event Aaron Ralston had to cut off his own arm after being trapped between two rocks when climbing alone. He's been featured on talk show and most notably Tosh.o  

Definitely the scariest of all outcomes. But on a lighter side BONUS CLIP... lets get some comedy to lighten the mood.

Hope you enjoyed!!

  

Lifting Bloops

As spring Break approaches on the college campus the fitness centers get flooded with the "two-week abs" kids. Needless to say they don't know how to lift very well. Everyone is so caught up on getting there beach bodies, that obviously wont happen in 2 weeks, and lack the necessary discipline and lifting form. Also people who lift regularly like myself have no room.

It looks like this...(granted it's not New Years but same concept)

I just die looking at these pictures. Laughing so uncontrollably when a keep scrolling up and down through it and see new people in the background I didn't notice before. 

But, now I've got your attention here's my top 3 internet lifting bloops...

3) This kid is trying to look big, probably for all those babes at school. However fate has a different plan and it ends in failure and his friend probably uploaded the video anyway and thank God he did.

2) I don't know whats weirder with this video the fact that this kid is shirtless or the fact his mom was there watching him. Either way this kid is an idiot, please watch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPIoTKMa3zw

1) Finally this might be disgusting to some, but they almost get the weight up and that's truly all that matters you got to finish.

Yes there are a lot of weight lifting fails on YouTube, but in my opinion these describe them pretty well. If you think I should have added anymore videos that describe weight lifting fails comment the link below or a compilation I should post.

For all the avid lifters trying to lift during Spring Break, I Salute You!!!   

 If your just starting lifting check this link... LIFT (for beginners)

 

Goats? LOL

I saw this video on YouTube around two weeks ago when it was sent in a link by my brother. I clicked on link and it was called "Goats that Scream like Humans. I thought to myself oooooh great another dumb internet video, this is about to be uber-dumb. I WAS SO WRONG! The goats actually sounded like humans and for some reason I just couldn't help laughing, and I watched it over and over and over again.

But, to my knowledge it was just this video two weeks ago and I forgot about the screaming goats. Until some comical genius on the internet added them to songs! If I thought I was laughing before I was dying now. I spread the comedy through family and friend and I recommend you do too.

These are the top 5 goat videos to music enjoy...

5)  Nicki Minaj song Starship is the first song on are list it's the cleverest goat insert into the song but its still hilarious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zakGLqAfNM0

4) Justin Bieber's song Baby is still not the most clever insert (probably because I'm not a Justin Bieber fan). See if you an guess were the goats are gonna be in this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG569wZI1Z4

3) Usher's song Scream is a good song for "Screaming" goats. The Usher song starts to follow a little better with the goat insert and is comedy genius!   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybZ79KMKcVA

These next two videos I really could not decide upon. There comedy aspects are different by using different goats in there respective videos. I was probably half the view on the next two videos by Taylor Swift's "I knew you were Trouble when you Walked in" and Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA". The goat outbursts were so funny and just had to watch it again... So it's up to you which wins

1 or 2)  Swift?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSKXmVE32uk

1 or 2) Cyrus?

The Harlem Shake

It's here and it's now! But, what is it? It's the Harlem Shake!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the last craze featuring dancing around crazily when the song's (the Harlem Shake) beat drops.
Now this crazy dancing spread like wildfire over the internet, just like Gangnam Style when it was released. The videos are generally 30 seconds to a minute long and feature the drop of the song.

Here are my top 5 Harlem shake videos from YouTube

5) The college campus of Akron University was transformed into dance outside of there student union, where students dressed up and went crazy to this dance. Also, BONUS there Harlem shake video featuring the AK Rowdies and the Akron Basketball team.

4) The mans really got some self control when he's surrounded by all those beautiful women dancing around him in his sewing shop. This drop is unexpected and great for the younger males looking at my blog.

  

3) When look at this video in the start I think ummm... Firefighters this is definitely going to involve an epic fire-hose in the drop. Oh how I was wrong. Check it out

  

2) Armies are disciplined and follow their orders to the letter. The first order is Harlem shake... P.S. watch the man fall out of the window at 22 seconds in.

  

1) The most viewed Harlem shake video I could find and equally as hilarious. This underwater harlem shake is sure to make you pee your pants laughing.

  

These videos are funny to watch and all around enjoyable. Also they're a very good advertising technique because the funny dancing will draw people attention. Companies like Pepsi and Sea World came out with there own versions of the Harlem shake when these craze became popular. 

If you think I missed any videos or should add any to the top 5 leave your response in the comments and ideas for the next countdown!
