What is a Blog?

    Blogs are a way for people across the world to share and attain ideas and information to likeminded individuals. That being said I will be expressing my opinion on a couple of blogs like Bleacher Report and TMZ. 

I thought that bleacher report was pretty cool as I enjoy pretty much every competitive sport under the sun. I could find myself checking on this website pretty often to see whats going on in the NFL or NBA. I read through an article about the Colorado ST. and Colorado U rivalry game which was pretty exciting. I though it was a really good article because I enjoy college football. The website is picture heavy with photos of different athletes or teams to show what team or player the article is discussing about. The website also contains multiple ads to make some money so they can pay writers, pay for expenses such as web hosting and other costs. The purpose of Bleacher Report is to provide information on sports news and content to support fans and enthusiasts interested in sports.

Another article I read through was TMZ. The website is set up with different tabs at the top of the page that go over different rumors or news. Then in the middle of the page you can scroll through different featured articles. There are a lot of pictures of celebrities to show readers who they are talking and connect a face to the information begin discussed in the article. On the side they have an abundance of advertisements to pay for expenses. This blog didn't really interest me as I did not care what Talyor Swift ate for lunch and who Drakes new BM is. This website just goes over celebrity news, rumors and gossip for fans of peoples favorite singers, actors, and athletes.

All in all I think that blogs are a good place to share and gain information and has changed the way people do that.

Entry #5: Tailgating

Image
     Tailgating        This clever car insurance ad uses a character named mayhem that personifies chaos and unexpected events that could happen to anybody. This serves two purposes it creates a humorous environment that grabs the audience attention effectively, but it also sends a serious message about how unpredictable life can be and how dangerous the road is. By having mayhem tailgate another car on the way to his tailgate party, the advertisement combines the lighthearted events of football activities with the very real dangers of aggressive driving.       Allstate also effectively creates a relatable connection to its viewers because almost everyone has been tailgated before or witnessed aggressive driving. By showing how distracted the driver is which causes him to crash into the car in front of him because of mayhem behind him. The commercial reaches into the viewers emotions and fears of the unpredictable events of driving....

Entry #7 Fresh

Image
   Fresh      "Fresh" is an eye opening video that makes us think deeply about where our food comes from. It shows the harsh facts of corporate farming next to the more environmentally friendly ways of small-scale farming. The movie is meant to speak to a lot of people, not just those who care about health or the world. Its tone successfully mixes scary facts about food production with inspiring stories of change, making people think about how the foods they eat affect others.      The movie shows corporate animal farming in a very negative light, while smaller farms do things in a much more positive way. Scenes that show how monocultures hurt the environment and how medicines are used too much are especially eye-opening. However, not everything is bad; the film also shows people making good changes in sustainable farming, which gives us hope and a sense of possibility.      Overall, "Fresh" is an urge to do something. It shows how ...

Entry #2: Cars n Coffee

       One of my favorite things in the world is cars. On a trip to California with some friends we decided to go to a Cars and Coffee in San Clemente. It was a super cool experience filled with some laughs and supercars. This event was a pretty popular event for car enthusiasts all over California. There were so many cars. If I think about it there was probably 20 rows or more of all types of different cars that spanned different decades and styles.     As we strolled through the rows of cars I could see how big this event was. It attracted all types of different car enthusiasts. There was vintage classics, muscle cars, exotic supercars and a lot of well kept jdm cars. I talked to a lot of owners who were pretty cool and shared a lot of cool stories. My favorite car I saw though was definitely this VeilSide RX-7. I talked to the owner and he shared some pretty cool information. I knew the VeilSide body kit was expensive but he said that it costed him ...
