This is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. Michael Fassbender is my favorite actor and he plays in two of some of my favorite scenes in any movie, this being one of them. I find movies now a days kind of lack those draw dropping scenes where you can feel the main characters emotions while watching and this scene did that for me.
This is one of my favorite videos, these are just a few highlights for the MLL which is the highest level of field lacrosse you can play.

reading survey

My experiences with reading has changed through out school. In elementary school reading was kind of celebrated and it was cool trying to expand your knowledge and learn through reading. But in middle school reading fell by the way side. I started to find it boring and I had started to get interested in other things like sports and new friends so reading was the last thing on my mind. I never really liked reading again till a couple years ago in grade 10. Before it was just a way to obtain information but I realized you can experience things through reading that you cant get from other things like t.v. or  movies. With books you can imagine the setting and characters the way you want too. that's something you can only get from reading, the ability to use your imagination but still have it guided by the plot. When you watch movies or t.v. your just retaining information but when you read it forces your mind to use your imagination and that's a tool that can improve your creativity and understanding and that can help you with so many other aspects in your life. My favorite book that I've ever read I think was old yeller. it was a really good story with an even better ending. after reading the book then watching the movie it really emphasises how good the book actually was. This semester I really want to broaden my understanding of literature and writing so it can help me when I go into communication courses out of the country. I have an interest in communications and media studies and I think one day I might want to become a writer or stage director but I feel that my ability to write isn't as good as it should be yet. so that's something I want to improve on. I like though how our class is based around technology because it makes being able to write and keep track of your progress way easier. I keep all of my information on my phone and the fact that I'm already on my phone for pretty much the whole class is kind of a bonus. like the only thing I really read is my twitter, I never really tweet I just follow a bunch of people. It's kind of just another way of getting information.

After reading more of this book it keeps getting harder and harder to read, I find myself feeling literally sick #disgusting #needles 

One of the quotes that was hard to read was about how the main character would miss his veins and pump meth into his muscles #painful 

Nic and gack say that there gunna take nic's 2500$ and try to start selling meth themselves and make a tone of money #bigidea 

"It was like this horrible viscous cycle. The more I used, the more I did things I was ashamed of, and the more I had to used to never face that" #favquote 

I find it disturbing how gack sells meth with his dad, not to mention his dad brings dudes back to the apartment they sell meth out of #weird

I chose the book tweak(20) and so far it's pretty dark, I knew the book was about meth abuse but I didn't know how vivid it would be #intro 

I think that Lauren is going to die of an over dose and that her death will only push nic further into his relapse #prediction 




I was wondering Y Lauren's parents would give her so much freedom knowing she's a recovering addict, it seemed very easy for her to relapse #question  

There was a point in the book I really liked where nic was talking about how addicts attract to each other, it was a cool concept #comment 


If find it kind of pretty unsettling trying to get into the mind of some one who abuses crystal meth, anyone else #discuss
