Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.

Alright here is the dealio. My video was perfect but I understand that it was very far above a lot of people levels so its cool I understand why I only got an 82%. Maybe some day in the future my true art work will be praised like I know that it should be. But for now I wouldn't change a thing, for it is perfection. Maybe I could of managed my time a little better but its not how you got to perfection that matters, I mean look at Adrienne Peterson he beats children with sticks and still got to perfection in the NFL. All that matters is I got to perfection. #MERICA

Tell me about your weekend.

My weekend was pretty average. I played some rugby and chilled with the ladies. I saw interstellar with some friends and it was alright. I didn't realize it was a three hour movie so I was really feeling bored after about ten minutes. But I did get this really BA rugby ball and Christmas jersey ( Pictures will be included) So my weekend was pretty cool so yeah swag and stuff.




How cool is this.  A rugby jersey that is all christmas like and a rugby ball that is designed with a mug full of (Root) BEER.

I had a great  time with my stop motion animation. I wouldn't change anything about it because it is perfect. the only difficult thing was the lighting. so yeah

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

Stop motion animation is where you take a picture of something and then move it a little bit and take a different picture and you repeat until you have a full move. Caroline was a movie that came out a few years ago that was stop motion.

Tell me about your weekend - details please!

So this weekend I got to tour to Chicago and play a rugby game against the Chicago Tornadoes. My team was the Mid West All Stars and we ended up winning 24-17. It was a really cool experience and I got talked to by some USA scouts so I am very excited to see what becomes of that. I had a lot of family and friends come to the game which was really cool. After the game I went to watch the USA take on the New Zealand All Blacks. USA ended up losing but watching the All Blacks play is so cool. They are first in the world and the way that they play is like an art. They have only played the USA two other times in history so I am really glad I got to see it.

Here is a picture of my cousin and mom at the game with me

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I know That photographs are evidence of things that "didnt happen" and shouldn't be published.

EX. Andrew doesn't take pictures when he isn't at school because he doesn't want us to know the truth.

I am not a huge fan of taking photos but when I do I never edit them because I prefer natural Beauty. The only way to edit them is to swipe left and right on snapchat. Looking at pictures is kind of fun though. Its always the best when you can judge other people for their photos.

Like so

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.


I think that the articles are pretty much the same just this is an antithesis of the other one if you will. I still believe that students should be able to wear what ever they want. Lets look at it this way, I have a brand on my left should that I got from the Rugby team. That brand signifies something that has become a major part of me. But I don't get in trouble for it even though some people say that I shouldn't done it or they "sneer" at me for it. My best friend has a tattoo on his forearm of a religious cross but he can show it off when ever he wants, His tattoo is something that people dont always want to see or they think its not professional. Why are we allowed to show these if people aren't allowed to show their unchanged skin. Blue valley has so many clubs that are like love your self. but they restrict how much we can show our selfs. I really dont think thats fair.

High school Curriculum is ridiculous. They talk and talk about how they are preparing for the real world but honestly i haven't learned to deal with credit cards, pay for houses, balance money. So honestly like what am I even doing here. This is the only class where I actually learn things that are going to help me. I want to be a chiropractor I am not going to need to know how to graph x^2 +2. High school at least junior and senior year should teach you actually about the real world.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

You know I think the dress code is ridiculous. the government is taking away our rights to be people. when our founding fathers came over here they weren't like " hey lets make a country where every one is the same" NO! Heck to that Bruh. we need to be different. this country was built on Freedom, Eagles, Beastie Boys, and Guns. So let us be us as students. The Government is already killin my vibe with that homework crap. Why do they have to take away my encouragement too.


Aint no party like a George Washington party because a George Washington party dont stop until the colonies are free and the world recognizes them as a Sovereign Nation defined by TRUTH, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain.

This weekend was a pretty chiller weekend. I Helped out with youth rugby again and got to watch my three year old brother play some baseball. He is quite the player some would call him the young Derek Jeter. By some I mean that I called him that once and it was funny. 

On to the next question. Kansas city has actually been a really cool place to grow up. I realy love just like how nice the people are to each other and how involved the people get. My favorite place in the city is probably the Rugby Stadium they have over by the zoo. It hold 1500 people and is home to the Kansas City Blues. I don't really follow baseball or soccer but for football I am loyal to my roots and support the Chargers for life. for my favrite event no doubt 7th hour.

What is an infographic? If you don't know, go look it up. Read about it and then in your own words tell me what an infographic is. What do infographics do? How do they work? What makes a really good infographic?


Some would say that it is like chart that show people stats and stuff and to be honest, I would agree. They work by collecting information and then putting into the form of charts and other really cool things. I would say a really good infgraghic involves lots of colors and is really easy to read.

Ash-

On Friday I went to the homecoming game and sat right next to Zach Naatz and we went really hard. Sam Prats was there too.  It was fun we dominated and stuff. Now on to Saturday...... I plead the fifth and if you don't give me points I will sue for not giving me my constitutional rights. Sunday was awesome though I got to help a bunch of first graders play rugby again and it was so cute untill two of them got into a fight. It quickly escalated from cute to hilarious.



It kind of looked like this

Dear Ash,

When I was asked to Imagine Mr. Bacon has asked you to suggest one way of improving Blue Valley High School to make it a better place for students. Only one thing came to mind. I wish that my favorite teacher who helps lead our generation through the up and downs and left and rights of changing technology throughout today society  was here today. Class just isnt the same with Mrs.Harris.  Even though it may not be her birthday its sadly not a constant party.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"?


What is email? What is life? Lets explore.

Email is this handy dandy tool that the rulers of the internet put out to all of the waiting peasants. It lets the people of the internet send really cool or important "emails" to a different person or group.  It is how I am keeping gin contact with my admission officer  To LINDENWOOD UNIVERSITY. People can use it to send complaints or nasty emails from parents to teachers because their kids are failing. classic the kids are never at fault. I know that email ediquette changes depending on who you are sending the email too. See Andrew Hoslers blog for more information about email.

Now that you've been in Emerging Technology for several weeks... what do you think? Do you think the web tools (Drive, Evernote, Bubbl, etc.) are helpful to you? Do you think they will be helpful throughout high school or even college? Explain.


I have really enjoyed this class. it makes me giggle and I learn a lot too. I feel like this class is going to actually hurt me in college because I am going to miss it so much. I might cry y self to sleep every night with out it. Even though you did cut me off yesterday while leaving the parking lot but dont worry I wont be bitter for long. I really like learning about all  the web tools I didnt know that I could all those things it really helps me express who I am as an individual.  Cha feel?

I really dont enjoy writing. I mean I enjoy writing bomb blog post and such but like writing just isnt really my thing. The ability to write is pretty bomb because like its how one communicates with a different organism so like thats chill and stuff. I really enjoy writing blog posts like the Putin  one was pretty high quality or the xoxo gossip girl was bombtastic too. so yeah thats pretty much it I guess, I really dont know how to end this, Thank you? goodbye? Amen? Peace out girl scout? Destiny? who knows maybe through the journey of life I will find out.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.


What is Success? What if failure? What is Life? Who do we set these standers based Upon?  What gives one person the ability to judge when a second has failed? Is it Education? Is it Money? Is it Muscles? Am I answering the Question or just making points that dont matter? Is it in a book? Should we take a look? Is it Reading Rainbow? What is preparation? Why does Big Hunna Ben Franklin get to judge my failure? but on a serious note we didnt practice very hard one week and lost to STA 75-15 lesson learned.

What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

Research is very very important. Its how people learn about different topics that we are forced to go through by the public school system. If one does not research well the rest of your group gets really mad at you because you force them to get a bad grade and then they take you and beat you up with words and then you go and tweet about it and then no ones cares and then you get sad. I have learned a lot like how Wikipedia is "not a credible source" that's a lie, Wikipedia says so. You have really been a true leader in teaching us how to research. I really want to thank you for that. I really would be an even worse student with out you. Thanks dawg

Blog Post:


I don't think that this question is an OK question to ask! I was a child born in 1997 I would not be able to kids now to kids in the 70's and 80's simply because I was alive. Also I am not "kid these days" any way. I turned 17 on July 30th of 2014 and my mommy threw me a groovy birthday party. I am an adult even though I cant vote I can buy my own tickets to an r rated movie now all by my self using my moms credit card! But on a more serious note kids these days suck. They Get everything they want and don't ever have to work for it. When I was their age I walked to school uphill both ways in 3700000000 inches of snow even in the middle of summer!

Tell me about the global issue you selected. What do you already know about the issue? What are you looking forward to learning about it? Explain.

I picked the Russian Ukraine conflict because it could be the next major war that happens to this earth. I am looking forward to being able to make my own opinion about who is really fault or if it it justified. I already know somewhat of why it started. it started because Russia wanted to project "Russian Interests" in the Ukraine but I am not sure what those are and I want to find out. Some people are saying that this could be the next World War I really want to know if it actually could be.





In case you cant tell what this is, it is Zach Naatz and I showing how scared we are of Putin and his Communist red scare ways.

Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

You asked us to do this because you are our teacher and your job is to really help us not just become better students but also to help us find our-self's as individuals. The point was for us to show you how creative we can be as individuals and not as students who are all just suppressed and forced go through the motions of the public school system. If we used bullets and headers it would be just a different way the government takes away our individual rights and makes us all just do the same thing. Its like you cant give a monkey and a fish the same test that wouldn't work. But you did this because you respect our rights as students and you want us to truly grow as people. That is why I really look up to you. Not just as a teacher but truly as leader of a Generation.

Labor day Bruh

I had the best Labor day weekend ever. I went to watch some of my old teammates play a rugby game at the University of Central Missouri. The game was KU v.s. UCM. So I showed up and I was like what up friends then get this, the ref came up to me was like, "hey you are the captain of BVRFC right?" and I was like "Yes I am" we talked for a while then she was like "hey I need you to AR (assistant referee) this game for me!" So of course I did it and I got to Ref my first college game. But wait it gets better. So the mens side (college and older) comes around and the head coach of KU comes up to me and is like "hey you are going to Lindenwood and they are pretty good so will you play for our team for this game and you can play what ever position you want." So I borrowed some ones cleats,shorts, and I found an unused mouth Piece and got to play my first college rugby game. Now are you ready for the best part?!? I was talking to coach after the game and he said he has been a coach at KU since 1977! I was like noway my dad played at KU during the 80's. That's when I found out that my first college rugby coach was the same guy that coached my dad when he was at KU!!! It was such a cool feeling getting to play for the same coach as your dad. I am still so happy and it was the best Labor day weekend ever. But on the way home I got my first speeding ticket BUT NOTHING CAN BRING ME DOWN!

I think that this news paper clipping is spot on. It makes me so annoyed when people cant get out f the JOCO Bubble and they cant see that everything is not supposed to be handed to you in life. I Moved to olathe from California because my parents got divorced and my mom and I didn't have any money. I grew up watching her work really hard for everything that we had and things that she gave to me. I have now made that how I live my life too. Teenagers should have support from their parents but not everything should be handed to them because that's not how the rest of the world works. I worked really hard to get things I have like a truck and being the captain of the rugby team. Everything in this world in my thoughts goes by the idea of you get what you put out. That goes for relationships, jobs, schools, everything. Teenagers don't realize this and expect things to be handed to them and they get upset when it doesn't and it makes me quite heated

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?







PSA is a public service announcement. It is any announcement that can help the public in any way. They are used to try to either keep the public safe or to make them healthier. I have seen things like dont drink and drive. Also I have seen ones that are trying to tell people not to smoke. The biggest one though would be dont text and drive.
