JFK Speech

Logos - Tu Quoque (You Too) Fallacy, Red Herring Fallacy, 

JFK Quote.

"We don't do things because they are easy but because they are hard"

My Question After Today.

Do you feel like if we all had the same routine everyday that we'd all think and want the same?

Master Piece Update

I love video games, they bring people together in ways I've never seen before. To make one would be my ultimate goal, to play one is an everyday goal, and to share that everyday experience with as many people as I can is at least a weekly goal, if not a daily goal. I have no idea on what I want to do realistically. I know at some point I want my pilots licence as well as my regular license, as well as a job, but all I really want in my life is to help others, because I tend to be a very selfless person, I'd be the rich guy that gives all his fortune away to people that need it, all I really want from life is to barley get by, and to maybe experience some things that not most do. So, I'll continue to work on my YouTube channel and I'll try to get started working on this game. A game takes so much to make perfect, and that's all I want is to make a perfect, simple, and lovable game. But I'm still doubting my ability to do it.

Media Examples of Fallacies

Now I couldn't really find my own examples, for I did not the time, but I found this video that has many different examples in the media, and explains them well. If this doesn't help you, I don't know what will.

The things you forgot

Appeal to pity

Argument to logic

Sweeping generalization (Dicto simpliciter)

My Masterpiece

I'm not too sure really, I know I want to do something with technology like coding, and game design, but I feel life is too short to just do one thing. I've also thought about being a pilot, serving in the military somehow, going to college, doing something big. All I know is i like helping people making people laugh, and the best way I could think of doing that on a grand scale would be to create some sort of content. So, I've dabbled in game design, and other things but the big thing I've been working on is my Youtube channel; https://www.youtube.com/user/NotSoHeroicGaming and live streaming games on my twitch channel; http://www.twitch.tv/notsoheroic I'll try to keep updating as much as I can.

What I think needs to change. (Some Harsh Words)

For god's sake where do I start. I guess I could start with looking at our class and comparing it to the Spinx class. They have a blog a goal and it means something to all of them. Our class is still "shy" about things, nobody seems too interested accept die hard people like Caitlin and Maddi, or Morgan, and sometimes myself. I don't mean to be too hypocritical, as I tend to blow off the class often as well as many others in the class. I'm not the type of person who could lead the class, but I'd like to because it doesn't seem like there are many that want the job. The class isn't hard, in fact it's bullshit work that I blow off often because I don't see why I should try when the most of the class doesn't. I think the class needs to contribute to something we all can be a part of, and for those who don't want to then you can be thrown out for all I care. I'm not mad, in fact I'm one of those people in the class. But as Dr. Preston always says were going to look back on these days and think " OH! that's what he meant". I find it disrespectful what we as a class do to Dr. Preston, he gives us opportunities I know nobody can give us, and we shut him down? Who the hell are we to do that? He's one of the few teachers out there that still give a crap, and most students would agree with that. But as far as my idea for the class I have no idea where to start. But I think it needs to start with a conversation on things we could do as a class, the work we get from Preston is far too independent for the majority of the class, so if we need to all monitor each other like children then we must. But seriously people, this is your life right in front of your eyes, the actions you make now effect your future extensively, and I feel like most of you don't realize that. Like I told my friend Gage the other night, we can't just keep waiting for the day for something to happen, because that day may never come, but if you are constantly working towards that goal, that thing you want to happen in your life, the quicker its going to happen, and the quicker you can get new goals and prosper as a person. As far as I'm concerned if your coming to class everyday with the intent of blowing the work off and screwing around, every single day, than in my eyes you either need to clean up your act or be prepared to fail the rest of your life.
