Dog ate my disk and other tales of woe

Sadly I have used most of these excuses and more. I have used them at school and work at numerous occasions. The family one I use to a certain extent I usually do not say someone has died because that is messed up and you cannot use it repedly. It is a last regret if so. Best friend is one mainly used by my self friends always come in handy for excuses. This is because they can vouch for you and make your argument valid. I had some days were I skipped school and my friends vouched for me or I said I had to help them. Evils of dorm life I cant really use because my dorm building is awesome and it would be bad excuse. Evils of technology is perfect excuse because it is out of anyones hands. When it comes down to this it is mainly the printer that is the evil. The computer or desk top is a close second. Total Bizarre this is usually unbelievable and NEVER works. This passage was enjoyable because it brought back good memories and was like a montage. I think out  of all my excuses in my history the bests were in high school and would probley be on my highlight reel if I had one.

Food Product Design

This was the most interesting article to me because it was on food. I love food and love watching the food network channel. I think it is because I'm Italian. I thought the statistics about ninety percent of americans income goes to food was very interesting. The flavor industry gained an amazing income of one point four billion dollars. I also learned a lot about how food companies try to appeal to the consumers with fake products. Using artificial flavoring and chemicals to make it seem more attractive. For example how the fries are always tasting exactly the same. I also took a liking to the part about french fries and disliked how they bashed them. I understand McDonald fries are fake and bad for you but I think they are awesome and taste. I think that we pretty much get what we pay for. It is dirt cheap and appeals to audiences so its probably not good for you. This article also reminded me of a book I read in eight grade named Welcome to the Jungle. It was about food production in the great depression. Looks and flavor are the two main points these companies target and it seems to be working.

How To Say Something In 500 Words

I in the beginning of this story I thought it was the story of my average weekend. Usually I deal with my essays with procrastination. Although a essay on college football, the example, would be easy for me. The key points he made all make it seem like I need them in my essays. Avoid the obvious content is something I always bypass. I don't think taking the less obvious side is the wiser choice. I think dealing with the main side is easier and more facts will give you a longer essay. Slip out of abstractions is a common mistake that I always come across. I always go off topic even when it is a simple yes or no topic. I really didn't get the topic of padding. Call a fool a fool is something I'm not concerned about. That is pretty much negating what your whole topic is. I think that is one of the most worst thing you could do in an essay. Colorful words are words that add splash and make you feel smarter. I need that in my essays to make them seem more adult like. Colorless words are the opposite of what you need and colored words are the ones in between.

Serving in Florida

I particular liked this package because it reefers to the average joe. I like how the author made it simple and to the point. There were exciting plot twists and I enjoyed how it related to a show I like named The Office. All my jobs can relate to this story. The characters that worked there all the way to the working at tables. I worked at a pizza joint over the summer before I came to Florida Gulf Coast University. The pizza place job had the most similarities to the story. Due to the environment and restaurant atmosphere. One part I thought was enjoyable was when the author talked about who the manager operates. This is because I use to drag some jobs out so he wouldn't be on my back and give me other harder jobs. Its true that he watches over and dose nothing till someone messes up or needs another job. O also enjoyed the drug scandal too. It brought out a dark side and mysterious side to the story. I also was amused in how the author poked fun at the work place in this setting which broke up the plan old describing feeling you get from any other reading.
