I would rather keep my dead Six Feet Under

When watching this show on the ABC website, it made me think 'it is pretty creative but man that would be real crazy ta have that power of God'. There is alot going on in the show and you have to keep up with it.

If I had that power, I would be scared to use it, but at the same time curious so I would use it every once and awhile. I would use my powers for good to, to like figure out mysteries of who killed them and things of that nature.

Don't get me wrong, it is a fantasic show with the creativity and the twist of the main character having the powers. However, when it comes to dead shows, I only have one that keeps me alive.

Six Feet Under on HBO is a good show where they do not awake the dead, but dress them up and make them look presentable for the after life. Also, it gets into the mix of the family because they have a lot of issues with themselves and their family.

Sometimes as they work on the dead, the dead talks back to them. Not really, but in there head. They act as there subconcious little Walt Disney Cricket, but people and they are dead.

All in all I think Pushing Daisies is a good show. It is just hard for me to watch to many dead show in one week. I start to feel morbid and sad like. If I knew about the show sooner then later, I would be watching it more the Six Feet Under.

The concept is pretty interesting as in life to, because their are those people that think they can talk to dead people. Thinkin they could bring them back for a second through the eye of the beholder. If this character was real, he would be making alot of money.

Teachers against books

The one thing I remebered about my freshman year of college was my freshman seminar teacher Dr. Clark. I remeber him because that year I worried my whole first couple of weeks on how much these books were going to be for school and how I didn't have the money for it.

For him, I brought it to his attention and he told me "Do not worry about getting the books for my class because the material that you'll learn through college usually doesn't come from the books."
Thinking about it, it is true because usually students are tested on information on the internet or in lecture notes, but still have to spend around 400 dollars on books we won'teven open up the whole semester.
That is what stuck out to me is when the girl in the video held up the sign about spending all of that money on books thatwe do not even open at all. The education that we learn in college comes mostly from experience and not from the books.
Another thing that popped in my mind is taking classes that will not apply to my life or my future life and job.
I rea;;y doubt that I will use Physics for my Journalism goals in my life!
