Good night birdie!

Last week I was scouting a location for my short film in cinematography. Every time I am on I-94 going to Chicago or Ann Arbor, I always see a park with what looks like islands and bridges.

The lake near the freeway is called Ford Lake. I did not know how to get to the park; left home around noon and arrived at 3 p.m. at the park. I still don't know if the park is in Ypsilanti or Belleville.

As I was driving for hours around the lake, I see a leaf like object in the distance. When I got closer to the object, I realized the leaf like object was a baby dove. I tried to miss hitting the bird, but I eventually ran over the baby dove. All I heard was a tweet!

I told my little sister who was in the back seat and she just started hitting me. I just could not stop laughing.

MacBook Wheel

I was on YouTube checking out the new Microsoft Office 2010 when I came across a video from The Onion Network. I had never heard of The Onion Network. As I was watching, the reporters began to cuss. The style of reporting caught my attention. The cussing in my opinion reinforced the question of why people do some of the dumbest things.

The video I was looking at was about the MacBook Wheel. The story and interview seemed legitimate, but I did not know why would Apple come out with a product not user friendly. The laptop is keyboard free. A large wheel like the one on an ipod takes the place of a keyboard.

For now, the MacBook Wheel is one of the dumbest products I have seen, but sometimes some of the dumbest products have a purpose.

School

A couple of days ago I was talking to my cousin in California. He was telling me about this fifth grader who had Fruity Pebbles laced with marijuana. At first, I was thinking how was a fifth grader able to make such a concoction. My cousin did not know the entire story because he did not pay attention, but I had to investigate.
At school, student shared the treat with several students. According to the report, the students who ingested the snack was minute. The snack came from the fifth graders older sister. The older sister said she got the treat from a medical marijuana dispensary. Last time I checked, the older sister was under investigation whether she got the pot legally.
Whether the kid got in trouble or not, he probably made some money.

Job

At work, I was scheduled to work this whole week. On Sunday, I received a phone call from Ashley, the scheduler. Ashley said I was canceled for Monday because there was a shortage in cars. Today, she called me again because I got cancelled for Tuesday.

I was cancelled for two days in a row now. I wonder if there is a real shortage in cars since the number of cars that need to be tested has increased. I knew it was to good to be true. Before I was only working Sunday and Wednesday, when all of a sudden I get scheduled to work 40 hours a week.

A blog about nothing

I have about 21 blogs with this one. Since I don't know what else to write about. I am writing about not having an idea for a blog. Maybe something will come up as I write.

I had fallen behind on my blogs. I have been so busy I sometimes loses track of what day of the week I'm in. I can't wait for this semester to be over. I'm starting to hate school.

For some reason, I would always hear Juniors and Seniors complain about everything. Maybe I'm going through the same point in my college career as those other Junior and Seniors.

Fight

While siting in my living-room doing homework, I heard a girl yelling at someone. I think she was fighting with her parents or boyfriend. I looked outside my window, but I could not see no one. I could only hear her yelling so I went back to my business. I could hear her say something like she was going to do what ever she wanted.

Some of my neighbors where problematic people until about a year ago. There would always be fights, cops, and loud music. Last year, they where evicted so now there's nothing, but a quite neighborhood. My only problem now is the traffic on my street.

My street is a small street, but very busy. Almost every single minute there is a car passing by. I hate it because traffic is always waking me up too early.

Work

I was just called to work tomorrow and I don’t feel like going. Last week I was one of the last to walk into the office, therefore became ride-along. Ride-along just do paperwork. I’m going to try and be one of the last people so that I don’t have to drive and do the paperwork all at once.

If I get my own car, which means it will take my entire shift to do the paperwork. Thought, I would rather be alone when doing my work. It is uncomfortable working with someone else because some of the paperwork has to be done using the steering wheel. Asking the driver to press buttons for six pages of paperwork gets tiring.
