Snow? not a fan. but who knows this is Missouri. it could be sunny and 70 one minuite and the opposite the next. I guess thats why they say if you don't like the weather just wait a minuite and it will change. I'm glad its the first day of spring thats always nice. Had a good spring break, went to branson to a marriage siminar that was a present from my new father in law and it was amazing. I learned so much. I'm glad that we went. now i feel equipt with the tools to help build a great marriage and im always excited to get to work. I love Ashton so very very much. picked up a couple new books and im also excited to read them. got started on one yesterday and I think its going to be really good. I have never seen a book with so many quotes from people, like 5 pages of quotes on how awesome this book is. I got to stay in a hotel this weekend and that was cool. I've only done that once before in my life and that was before leaving for boot camp. The Hilton is super nice and thats where the weekend to remember convention was held. I'm glad we went to this seminar at the begining of our marriage so that we can build healthy habbits and apply what we have learned before we get stuck in our ways and create bad habits. It was nice.

Cameron Cruise Mr. Neuburger Eng. Comp 101 18 March 2013 Response “A film not yet finished” This is a movie about a movie used for the World War two Holocaust Propaganda. It is spoken in the native tongue of the characters involved. This film has impacted me strongly, in the sense to get a visual perspective on the frightening deeds that humanity is capable of whenever we just trust the governing class to make moral decisions for us. By Quietly being passive and doing whatever we are told can sometimes have huge consequences, even if the idea is portrayed to be good for us or good for our country. It also shocks me that the moral compass can be so far off in a group of people that it could lead to the genocide of another race. Summarizing this movie in essence is trying forget all of the gruesome details that are involved in genocide, but I will give a few interesting points that I feel like make this pursuit of extinction different from the others that have happened throughout history and are still going on today. The first thing that draws disction to me is that in the holocaust the “pursuit of purity” was extremely creative and very will planned. From the usage of propaganda to the extermination methods. One could argue that people would never let such a thing happen if it was coming at them in full force and right in front of their face. So perhaps the need for creativity was derived from insuring that this plan be executed flawlessly and without the interruption of people opposing the idea that a few determined was the answer to all their problems. Another dramatic difference in this extinction episode that varies from the mass genocides that are taking place as we speak, is the attention that this one event has received. Does the holocaust attain more attention because it was perhaps more creative than what we have ever seen, or wish to see? Or was it the fact that it was an “elimination express lane” that draws the attention of the civilized class of culture. Whatever it so compelling about this event eludes me. The one thing that doesn't surprise me most is the lack of sanitation and the starvation involved. But what shocks me most is the numbers. An Estimated six million people died DURING the holocaust, six million people die annually from stravation alone.

wow im kinda nervous about midterms but i know it will be alright. my lowest grade to this point is a 91 percent. as long as i can keep that one above a B it will be alright. Also im so sore went to the gym this morning and it was definatly a long time since i have challenged my body. but it gave me some extra time to study while i was excersising and listenig to music. I like it its a good form of multitasking. I'm so out of shape, I have been relatively in shape for awhile now then i got my first car last year and that changed everything instead of walking or riding my bike now i would pay gas money to drive. losing my vehicle has made me realize just how lazy i have become in a year. its good i guess because now i'm forced to get my 30-60min of excersise a day to say the least. i just have to come to a point where i enjoy it like i used to, but then again it could be the fact that it is now the coldest point that it has been all year so far. and its not that i mind its just kinda annoying to see how much i have slacked off and became so outta shape. but on the flip side i have changed my diet and i have been losing weight since that has happened plus i seem to have more energy. high in fiber. trying new vegtables.

Time is an interesting subject. the study of time has been around for hundreds even thousands of years, from the acient civilizations relying on the stars to know what season was best to plant their crops to dividing time into 12 incriments to measure the day. some to the moste interesting time pieces i have found are the ones of acient history. with the use of sundials and oblisks noted in egyptian history to the use of measuring time with water by the greeks. fascinating. there has always been an innovative spirit in clockmaking throughout history. but one of the discoveries that has shocked me the most was of a french clockmaker who was asked to make a clock work inside a cathederal but instead he remade the entire clock but kept the skelton. this clock is a precise masterpiece of time it can tell you the day in which easter is on every year until the year 10000 and it even as been so carefully calcuated to know the exact secquence of a leap year. not only that in simple terms that a leap year is a year that is divisible by four but that unless it is a 100 year that is an odd number unless its a 400 base year. this clock can predict the lunar time, the average space time and even what zodiac eara we are entering on the 100000 year cycle. this timepiece has been so carefully crafted that there are pieces that will only move every century or even every 2500 years. wow mind blowing. considering that no measure of time has been around so long. not even with the egyptinas and the oblesks. but will we still be using clocks if humanity survives that long. since timekeeping has been modernized to atomical measures. witth the definiton of a second as defined by the way light moves in a certian atom. facinating
