Another Blog About My Family.....-sigh-

Alright so here is my second blog about my family. I really don't like to talk about my family too much, but I don't want to get an F on this assignment, so I guess I have too. I consider my family as mainly my sister, my dad and my mom. I guess this is just because I usually live with them and I'm around them alot.Lets see,I suppose my family members have a couple unique characteristics.
My sister is a freaking eleven year old genius. She's in the fifth grade and gets straight A+'s on everything. She even got a perfect 600 on the math portion of her star test last year. That's some crazy stuff right there. She tries to be perfect at everything though. So, she has some anger problems. She throws some of the worst temper tantrums that I have ever seen in my life. She's super quiet, and is only ever talkative around me for some reason.
My Mom is an interesting person. She is very hardworking and stuff like that. Very nice to people, and she trys very hard. But sometimes, my mom...well,i just get upset with her. I wont say why because I really don't want to talk about that kind of thing on a school assignment. So I'll just say that she causes me alot of unwanted stress when we are at home, and not because she is "annoying" or anything. She caused things in the past too, and yeah. I still love her though, just sometimes, I really don't want to live with her.
My dad is uhm, odd. He hunts, he works at City Hall and has been working for the police for many years and stuff. He's nice i guess, but he is very stubborn. He has to have everything his way or it's not right. He is also obsessed with my sister. He will make her go places with him, or he will baby her, and all of that. I'm slightly ignored, but that actually makes me happy I really don't want to be smothered with attention from my dad. He makes me really upset sometimes.
My family, well we don't really do anything together. For Thanksgiving, my sister, my mom and I went to Disneyland. That's pretty much it. i don't really do anything with my dad because I really don't like to. I guess we go to the shooting range once in a while, but we haven't done that for a while. Other than that, we never do anything all together as a family. When I'm at my dads, I just eat dinner in my room, same at my moms. But I guess we still are a family, somehow.


Okay so here are some pictures of my family:


This is my Dad, he wasnt really too happy when this was being taken.



This is my mom. She's playing with my doggy.


This is my sister, trying to be all gangster cool and whatnot.

Earth Day...?

Woah it was earth day on monday? I had no idea. Well, anyway, all I really know about earth day is that it is a day when you should respect and be nice to the earth. no littering, do being mean to the earth, do cutting down trees and stuff. I was looking for more information on it, so I went to the website at the bottom of the page to find information. I learned that it is usually held in the spring. This year, it was on Monday, April 22nd. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970 and it was started by a Mr.Gaylord Nelson. Now, it is very popular all over the world. I dont really know what else to say about it, and I cant go get a video, so thats it. Goodbye.

Fuzzy Logic

Okay, well, Fuzzy Logic is a lot like binary code (the thing with zeros and ones) but it is better in many ways. Fuzzy Logic kind of copies the way the human brain thinks and solves problems and things like that. Without Fuzzy Logic, we would still be using zeros and ones and that is a little more complicated. It actually uses a bunch of easy rules based on experiences to work. Humans do that too, so you know it's pretty cool. Also, it's lot cheaper to produce.
I think Fuzzy Logic would be a lot easier to use than Binary code. It just seems so much easier to use logic than on off zero and one switches. That would give me a really bad brain ache.Fuzzy Logic uses percentages and that's a little easier. Since the creation of Fuzzy Logic, it has spread all over the world. Now, most of the Fuzzy Logic experts are in China! That's pretty cool now isn't it?
Fuzzy Logic will change the way technology is now. It just shows that technology is going to keep getting more and more advanced and someday, It's going to be crazy cool. Hover Cars, Robots that talk to you,and all of that good stuff. :]

A Blog About Families

A family is an important part of every persons life. For some people, a family can be a lot of people that love and support you. For others, their families aren't always there for them. even if your adopted, you still have an family and everything. They take care of you and things like that. I have a small family circle. most of the time, they actually give me a lot of unwanted stress. I guess my main circle is just my mom, my dad, and my little eleven year old year sister named Laurie. After a bunch of years of fighting in the house and whatnot, they finally got divorced last year. So, now me and my sister switch from my moms house to my dads house every week. It was a pain at first, but after a while you get used to it i guess.
I'm not really that close to the rest of my family. my relatives that live closest to me live about four hours away, and they and the rest of them live all the way in Japan. I never ever get to see my family in Japan, I've met them about, maybe once or twice. My other family, well, they have a lot of problems too.So my main family circle is pretty much just me, my sister, my mom and my dad. Usually my family is okay, but a lot of the time, it's really upsetting. I'd rather not talk about all of my family issues on here, so I'm not going to go into detail about anything else.
Well, I'm not exactly sure what a generation is, but it sounds important. I'm going to guess it means something about how many years your family has been in this country or whatever, because I really don't know. my mom came here all by herself from japan when she was like...25. My dad grew up in California and stuff. because of my mom, technically I'm a Japanese citizen, she told me that the other day. Cool isn't it?

"Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities" is an interesting quote. I think it means that a family can help you get through anything most of the time. They help you out when you are going through tough times, and they will always stick together like butter on toast. I guess this is kind-of true for my family. I guess we kind-of stick together, but usually they are the cause of my troubles or when I'm sad, it's usually because of something that they did. -sigh-
Okay yeah i really don't want to talk about it anymore, so goodbye. Have a nice day. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

What we learned...

Okay yeah i'm a little upset because i put the whole project on the wrong disk. Goodness that was stupid. -sigh- Well, anyway, I learned alot from this project. I learned about many of the different bands actually come from the school. There is a lot of talent here. Also, I learned that people who went to battle of the Bands had many different opinions about it. Some loved it and would go again in a heartbeat, and others didnt like it as much. I'm really upset that no one could watch it though, people would have learned alot about all of the talent here at Capuchino.

While watching the other projects, I learned alot about videogames, racism and abortion. I thought it was really interesting and It had alot of information.

Battle of the Bands: okay this is better now

Alrighty Mr.Hinman gave us until wednesday to finish our project. So now tonight i'm going to put the footage on my couputer tonight and we are going to finish it tomorrow. Then, we are going to turn it in wednesday after school. It will be finished by tuesday night it will be completely finished. yay!

Battle of the bands Documentary: More issues

Okay well, the project is due tomorrow, and we are still having many issues. Okay i figured out how to get the video onto the computer, but my camera is being stupid. I found out that I needed a special cord for the camera to get the picture from the video onto the computer. The cord is supposed to come in the mail today, so we are a little nervous. We really don't have a lot to do, we just need to put the footage on the computer and edit it a little and we are done. We are going to ask Mr.Hinman if we can have a little more time due to technical difficulties. I hope he will understand. I wish i had figured that out earlier, that would have been very useful. -sigh-

Battle of the Bands Documentary: Problems

Well, we have been trying to work on our documentary over the break, and it's not working out too well. Wehave the footage that we need, it's just my computer is being silly and isnt letting me put the footage onto the computer. I fiddled with it a couple days ago though, and I think i fixed it. We are kind-of close to being finished, we just need to edit and add some things to the footage.
