Assignment #31 Free Choice

I am going to write about a distribution named DLXSF. DLXSF stand for Deluxe San Francisco. This is one of my favorite distributions in skateboarding. I have been to a store in San Francisco and they have a lot of choices in decks, clothes, wheels, and etc. If I could choose to work at distribution for skateboards it would defiantly  be this one.

The picture to the right is one of the main brands they distribute. These wheels are Spitfire Wheels and they are one of the best I have ever skated.  They also distribute Krooked skateboards, Anti Hero skateboards, Real skateboards, Venture trucks, and Thunder trucks. DLXSF is a great distributer but Venture and Thunder trucks both suck in my opinion. I think Krooked skateboards are one of my favorites in general. Their wood for the decks are always amazing and they have the best shapes and graphics. Anti heros are also great as well.

In my opinion and many others,  one of the best comes from this company. This one of the greatest and I hope nothing bad ever happens to this distribution.

A GMO stands for a genetically modified organism. A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro organisms such as bacteria and yeast, insects, plants, fish, and mammals.

I think GMO is pretty cool, how you can change slight things on animals and other organisms. I think that using it to make different colored fish like the GloFish to be sold as pets is also pretty neat too. I think that GMO can be used to help a lot of things in the near future.

Assignment #26 Critical Film Review

The movie, "This is England" is about a small child that joins a skinhead group after he has been bullied at school, They do reckless things like rob convenient stores or just scare colored people. This was one of my favorite movies, I thought it was very hectic and exciting to watch. 

In this movie I thought that Shaun (little kid) was a very convincing actor and was very enjoyable to watch. He shaved his head later on in the movie. The skinhead group got him jeans and a vest to match them, ever since then he could not feel more accepted.

Another thing I find cool about the movie is about the sub culture of skin heads. I thought it was pretty cool learning about their music and culture more and finding out a lot more than I knew before. 

Who I did not like in the movie was the kid Harvey in the beginning of this movie. He made fun of Shaun and about his dead father which makes shaun angry and fight him. If it was not for Harvey then Shaun would have never become a skin head.

This was one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend this movie. It might be offensive to some and other might see it differently. I would give this movie a 10/10, because this movie is so entertaining.

Assignment #25 Pop (Popular) Culture

One of the shows only shows that I like watching is beavis and butthead. I think the new ones are really funny, and I think it is great that they make fun of t.v shows like jersey shore and other shows. This show is really great because there is no meaning to it. It is just 2 stupid teens just trying to get there day over with.
The show usually starts off with them either watching t.v, in class, or sleeping. It seems like the 2 teens live on there own in a dirty home. Beavis is the blond one, and Butthead is the brown hair one. Beavis and Butthead both work at a burger joint and are very careless.
Beavis and Butthead usually hangs out in front of there local liquor store eating nachos and doing stupid things. I usually do not even watch t.v or watch movies but if I do I would rather watch something stupid like this show and try to make time go by then watch a serious show or movie. This show is great because I can keep watching it and it will not get old to me. I am glad they started making more Beavis and Butthead shows. Also the movie "Beavis and Butthead do America" is also another great funny clip and I would recommend it to someone who likes watching comedy movies.

Assignment #24 Typing

How I learned to type was computer classes in elementary school. After elementary school there would be other little things that we would test to see how we would type. Typing came slowly and now it has been getting easier and easier.

If you had a computer and had to learn how to type then I think the best way to learn is www.typingweb.com. I think this is good because it is free and if you have a low budget then its your best bet. There are also teacher portals that manages your grades and student portals. Also another thing that is great is that there is a proven curriculum. But the best thing is that there are games so it is also a fun way to learn.

Assignment #22 Smoking

1. Peer Pressure

2. Social Rewards

3. Risk taking Behavior

4. Parental Influence

5. Misinformation

6. Genetic Predisposition

7. Advertising

8. Self Medication

9. Media Influences

10. Stress Relief

I think smoking is very frowned upon. Smoking is not good for your health and it can end up killing you. When your friends are smoking around you it is not good either because of second hand smoke and also its smells bad. It also looks weird when young teens are smoking in a public area. The idea of smoking is also stupid, you are paying money to die a little by little. A lot of kids smoke because it looks "hip and cool" but I think it is all a big joke. I also think people who get electronic cigarettes and have never been addicted to smoking is a big joke too.

Assignment #20 Free Choice Chung

Today I will write about skateboarding, this is usually what I write about but I can not think of anything else. I think skateboarding influences my everyday life. Since I get so distracted by it I sometimes forget to focus on other things. I am glad that I started skateboarding but I wonder how I would dress or act without it. I will always think of skateboarding and think of all the good times I had with friends and how fun it was at the moment.

Skateboarding has changed my life in a very good way. I met new people and I got to skate with a lot of known skateboarders. I think that is great and I love what I am doing now and I do not want to change anything. Although skateboarding can be aggravating and hurt, its always good to not give up trying a trick you want to land or do. 

The picture on top Jason dill and (AVE) Anthony Van Engelen, both of them are very influencing and very enjoyable to watch them skateboard. They both are extremely good and skate different from others. Just a week ago these two great people left (AWS) Alien Work Shop to branch out and make their own company. I hope it succeeds and their company does well. There are a lot of people who would do anything to meet these two individuals. 

Assingment #19 Chung

If I were to get paid a million dollars to look for a charity that I can support would definitely be the lung cancer charity. The Lung Cancer Research Foundation was founded in 2005 by Laurie C. Carson. This charity has been devoted 5 years to lung cancer patients and is doing a very strong effort to help.

The reason I chose to do Lung Cancer was because I had a grandpa that suffered greatly from it and now is passed away. I remember seeing him in his hospital bed and it was very hard to watch. People die of lung cancer every single day and I think that is very harsh.

1 in 15 americans die from lung cancer. It doesn't sound like a lot but thats around 2 kids in a classroom. If I could contribute that kind of money to help find out how to cure lung cancer then I would definitely put the one million to this kind of study.

Assignment #18 Bucket List Chung

1. Get a job- so I can provide myself money, food, and other goods without the support of my mom.

2. Get a license- so I can drive myself around without friends or a parent.

3. Be somewhere in skateboarding- so I do not feel like I wasted a bunch of time.

4. Go skate with someone famous- Jason Dill or someone that did something great for skateboarding.

5. Go skate the east coast with  friends.

#17 Stranded Chung

If I was stranded on a island and I needed to depend on myself to live the first thing I would want is a knife for defense and to hunt for food. The second thing I would want is a tent, so I could sleep somewhere and be fine. The last thing I would want is a flint to start up fires to keep me warm.

Assignment # 16- Expertise Chung

Well, there aren't many things I am good at, but the thing I am starting to progress at is skateboarding. Since I have been doing for about 3 years, I have learned lots and lots about skateboarding. The history, skateboards itself, shoes, etc.

This is a Mark Gonzales ad from Vision Skateboards a long time ago, This man is a reason skateboarding is so different now than before, Mark has influenced skateboarding greatly and people have lots and lots of respect for him. Mark is on Krooked Skateboards, Adidas Shoes, and Independent trucks.

This is Jason Dill, he is also another very influential person to skateboarding, lots of people look up to him and respect him for his skating. He is known all around and respected all around as well. He is on a very famous company Alien Work Shop, Supreme, Independent trucks, Spitfire, and Vans footwear. He also owns his own company that he shut down because he did not want it to go big.

I think skating is great because of all the people and how you can progress and I think thats cool and great. Skateboarding is also cool because you can skate different and be more creative. Skateboarding is split up into many different categories, there are vert skaters, there are pool skaters, there are street skaters, and there are people who do all. This is why I think skateboarding is great.

Assingment #15 my dream job

When I grow a little older, my dream job is to  work around skateboarding, whether it is filming, taking pictures, distributing, or skateboarding it self. I think I would not be disappointed if I were to work around skateboarding because it is what I do everyday and it does not get old.

Where I want to work is either Supreme LA, or DLXSF. I would probably choose the DLX job because it seems really cool having a job in SF. In the job you could distribute boards and do that kinds of stuff or design graphics for the new drops. I think it would be cool also because you would be able to see a new drop before it came out.

I think that a job around skateboarding is the perfect job for me. I would not get really upset dong what I love with a group of friends. I think it would be a great experience to do this too. Because I know lots about skateboarding whether it is shoes, boards, trucks, wheels, etc. it would be easy to relate to and easy to work around.

These are some of the reasons why I think it would be good for me to work around skateboarding.

#13/ My Favorite, skateboarding

My favorite thing to do any chance I get is to skateboard. I love setting up new boards, wheels, trucks bearings. I love skateboarding because if you go to the skatepark then you start meeting a lot of new people and I think thats great. I love how skateboarding influences my life every single day. It never gets old in my opinion and I think its a great way to meet new people and learn new things.

The Person above on the left is Jason Dill, he is one of the greatest influences on me and one day I hope to reach his level of respect and skateboarding. The person on the right is my good friend Aidan Mackey, I have known him for a couple years now and he is riding for almost all the same sponsors as Jason Dill. Although you may get hurt skateboarding I think its still great and still extremely fun. These are a lot of the reasons I chose to do skateboarding for my favorites.
