Man thats not hungry, goes to buffet

Area man is with friends who are hungry and is forced to go to all you can eat buffet. "I just wasn't that hungry" says Tom, the man who was forced to tag along with his friends because he was getting a ride with them to the baseball game that just ended. Tom just eaten before the 8th inning and was no longer hungry, the mans friends had told him that they would stop to eat on the way home but gave the man no warning of an all you can eat buffet.

As they walk into the restaurant the found a table and all grabbed a plate and started to load up on food, Tom had no idea what to do, "I just went along with it".  As they made it back to the table all Tom could think about was 'why did I eat those two hot dogs'. They sat down and his four friends plates were stacked with as much food as you could imagine, Tom only had three or four french fries and a piece of chicken, he was regretting spending the eight dollars and ninety-five cents on his meal, he did not finish the fries or the chicken and that caused his friends to make fun of him the whole ride home. "I have learned my lesson" said Tom and he is currently trying to forget this day even though the sight or smell of food reminds him of this tragic day in Toms life. He is no longer sure that he still has these friends, as he has not spoke with them in the three days since the incident.

There was a guy named Jimmy and he wanted to play in the National Basketball Assosiation, he was terrible at basketball. He didn't like to practice and never got any better. One day he was watching basketball and he wanted to know why all of these professionals were so good. He decided to go down to the Target Center to talk to the players himself and ask them. On his way to the stadium he saw many people playing pick up ball and was tempted to play but thought he better stick to his journey. When he got there he saw many players from the team and went up to a few of them to ask them how they got to be so good at basketball. Kevin Love told him he has to practice and Jimmy didn't like that so he went to talk to Jonny Flynn. He said the same thing as Love did. This gave Jimmy a lot to think about on his way home. For some reason he saw a bear on his way home, the bear was playing basketball by himself but Jimmy could tell he was really good. He went up to the bear to see if he would give him lessons because he thought it would be a good idea to practice like all the people who made it to the pros did. The bear was mean so he ate Jimmy. Then the police came because there was a bear in the city. When they returned the bear to the zoo, the zoo doctors took a look at the bear and realized that Jimmy was still alive. They got Jimmy out of there and he continued on his adventure, he took a taxi home because he was not trying to run into anything else. When he got home he started playing basketball and didn't stop practicing for 83 hours. Every day he practiced as much as he could and by the end of the month he was already one of the best ball players in town, he was so happy that he was finally good and kept on practicing, eventually he was the best player in the world and was in the National Basketball Association, he had many interviews and he mentioned practice in all of them, he was on 60 minutes once and told this dumb story to the whole world, this was some adventure, huh?

My documentary is going well, I'm almost done editing and it is getting a lot better. I found music for it and I am excited for the finished project!

I think this is interesting because it shows how America views things and how it is wrong. This person is different than other people and other people can't except that. That is all ref

My documentary is going nicely, I was thinkin about getting more filming but I don't really need it. I have a plan for how my documentary will be payed out and I think It will turn out pretttty good.
It is sad that they do not have freedom of speech in Cuba. I think the quote at the beginning is very interesting, " I throughly disagree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it". I don't know what to say about it but it is very interesting and I heard it in Arrested Development. In the reading it says that to save there national liberty they need freedom of speech and I think that's true. It would be cool to do a documentary on this topic!

I am happy with my progress so far. I think my trailer turned out good and now I just have to keep working on my final project. It is hard to think of a way to make the story line of the documentary but I think it will work out.
I liked the reading because it showed you can help people feel wanted in the world. You can give them a bed for a night and maybe they will keep trying to make it so one day they can do the same. I like the idea because its a not a huge thing you spend a lot of money on to help but its still helping

Blog #4 and Reading Responseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am starting and finishing my filming this weekend, I will start tomorrow (friday) and will be finished by sunday night which is when the event ends.  I know a lot of people who are involved in the event that my movie is on and I hope I can get some good footage. I am very exited to get the footage and start on the editing for my film and create the trailer. I might run into some problems because I'm working by my self but I wont worry about that and see what happens!
I learned about how to do a good interview in this reading. They say to not read of of a page, write something down for if you need it but try to just talk to the person because it will be more natural and will make for a better interview.
