I have a lot of mixed feelings about the Right to Bear Arms.  In some cases, I am against it and annoyed by the people who defend it.  There have been so many tragedies in the US because of the Right to Bear Arms, but the people who want to commit the horrible acts are not law abiding citizens, so changing the policies on purchasing firearms would not effect them as much.  What really upsets me is when people defend this policy because of a persons hobby.  I personally could not imagine butting one of my hobbies ahead of a person's life.  I personally have no idea how to correct or regulate how people obtain firearms, but something needs to happen.  There has to be a reason why this has happened so many times in America and not many other places in the world.

Grove City Men, Grove City Women

Grove City men are interested in showing that they know how to party, but still come to church every Sunday.  Grove City men show their dominance by way of Adidas shirts and Nike shoes, but don't know how to belt their pants properly.  Grove City men don't know how to conduct themselves in front of the opposite sex, but still claim that they've banged twenty girls.  You can identify a Grove City man as soon as they open their mouths, because what comes out is usually homophobic or slightly racist.  The Grove City men sports star are treated like Gods but have taken Algebra 1 three times.

Grove City women are the queens of being two faced.  Attending church every Sunday, only after they've spent the night out.  Grove City women live off gossip.  If a Grove City women derives from the "norms," they'll have to move.  Grove City women are great at keeping their own secrets, but terrible at keeping others.  You'll never really know if a Grove City woman really likes you, because they constantly talk behind your back.  Grove City women claim they want a ring on their finger, but not if it means that they can't spend every Friday night with their tongues down another persons throat.

Next Right Moves

The main feedback I've gotten was to decrease the amount of background in the essay and increase the actual criteria and why certain elements of the TV series were good or not good.  Honestly, my partner wasn't of any real critical help because they liked most every part of it.  I have been reading reviews on Entertainment Weekly, both about the series I am reviewing and about other cartoons they've reviewed.  It has really helped me hone in on the criteria and the language they use in the review.  Writing a review that is interesting and touches on criteria discreetly is a difficult task, which I have not even come close to perfecting.  I have been adding more varied and creative language to the essay to make it more precise and interesting to the reader.  I've also been taking out the more general statements about the series to keep it from sounding generalized.  I have been having trouble with coming up with specific examples about the series and then integrating them into the paper in a well written way.  That is the thing I've been having the most trouble on.  But I think just reading the paper over and focusing closely on one criteria at a time has really helped me.

Paperback Writer

More Than This by Patrick Ness is an excellent book that I would recommend to most everyone.  More Than This is about a young boy called Seth Wearing.  Right from the get go, you learn that Seth is dead.  The book is so interesting because it spends it's majority with Seth being alone in this Limbo world, which seems boring, but Ness does an incredible job of making a perfect blend of single person dialogue and flashback memories of Seth's life.  The genre is a perfect blend of drama, young adult fiction, and science fiction.

Living Wrong

At the end of September, I attended the Thrival Music and Innovation Festival in Pittsburgh.  Over the course of two day, almost 15 different artists performed.  I attended the first day and watched Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness and Panic! at the Disco perform, along with a few others.  I had never heard Andrew McMahon's music before, but his stage presence and style of music and singing really captured my attention.  His style could be comparable to dance-pop music with elements of folk-rock.  He was almost personal in how he interacted with the audience and presented himself on stage.  His interactions seemed genuinely happy and excited to be there and his fans in the audience were eating it up.  His music was very catchy and very well performed, and I have listened to his albums after the fact.  The way he performed on stage and the way he sounded recorded are very similar, which is nice, considering how different a recorded voice can sound.  After his set was finished, Panic! at the Disco took the stage.  I had seen Panic! perform once before and they are always amazing.  Very consistent in sound, voice, and energy levels while on stage.  Brendon Urie, Panic!'s front man, took live performance opportunity to truly showcase not only his performing abilities, but also his truly remarkable range.  It is safe to say that Panic! is equally as good recorded as they are live, despite the changes in the band's members throughout the years.

Bottle of White

Let's talk restaurants.  I am not a huge buff for going to restaurants, but I do know good food when I have it.  A restaurant that I frequent is Bobo Rice Bowl in Grove City.  If you like good Chinese food, you should take up Bobo's.  Their food is always delicious and hot.  You can order online and schedule a time to pick it up.  Granted, it's not the cheapest food but the portions are big enough to feed two people at least.  I do not know a lot about Chinese food, but I have had a lot.  American Chinese food is not always the best, but Bobo is always consistently delicious and the service is very friendly and efficient.  They serve a variety of dishes and also include vegetarian options, which I have heard nothing but good things about.
