A REVIEW ON THE LIFE EVERYONE SEEKS.

This week I will review Life.

Let us begin with the basics shall we? Life is not whether we are alive or not. Although it may have a lot of meanings, my favorite is a definition is the following one at the current moment. Life is what you want to make it. You could choose to live your life like your alcoholic uncle, or like your persnickety and overly picky aunt.

Life is a different experience for everyone. Some people may be poor in the richest city on earth, or some people may be rich in the poorest city on earth. Life differs vastly.

The ideal Life is what all people want, what few people have, and what many people think they have. Up until the 19^th Century people thought that living in the largest empire was the ideal Life. Back then people thought that by living in the largest Empire on earth it will make your life easier. I don’t have to say that they were wrong do I?

Up until the new millennium, people though that having a lot of money was the ideal life. Those people couldn’t have been more wrong, but in the year 2008 I noticed something. I did not see this in my city, but all around the world on my television. Some people, I noticed, were having fun with just a stick and a bicycle ring. Others were sharing their life on YouTube and having a blast doing it. One gentleman in particular had and has his own show on the Travel Channel and travels around the world and experiences what the happiest and purest people, in my eyes, love to eat locally.

Life can also be a big bitch. It can take one of more than one of your loved ones in a blink of an eye. It can also turn your world upside down overnight. As is with a pen-pal I met through YouTube, the website originally dedicated to peoples’ lives. One day he was recovering in a hotel from a drug overdose and the next day his old friend from high school sent a private jet to pick him up with assurance of a new life, success, and a steady income, only to go back to doing drugs all over again.

It is true Life like all things in this world has its ups and downs, but I think that by always aiming to have fun, making people laugh, working hard and playing even harder, making your own choices, having the best people in your life and living a healthy lifestyle is the best chance into living in your own personal paradise. Well that and living somewhere tropical couldn’t hurt either.

DON’T FORGET TO FOLLOW ME!!!

Life is beautiful. I love Life.

 

Oh NAWT!!!

I FORGOT TO LINK THE BLOGS I COMMENTED ON!!! NOOOOOOOO...oh well.

McDonald's INVADES YOUTUBE? CANADIANS ARE ACTING LIKE AMERICANS?

Today I will blog about a book I have been reading for my English class. Fast Food Nation by Erich Schlosser is an interesting book. I suggest you read it so you can find out what the fast food industry has been doing “behind our backs” so to speak.

I personally like this book. I enjoy it because it reveals the dirty secrets fast food companies once had. It shows us that they are still the money hungry bastards they always have been, but just a little more white collared on the outside. I think more people should read this book, for it will open their eyes and show them what comes with being omnivores.

This book has had an affect on me, but not on my way of eating, rather on my way of thinking. I decided to start my long transition to a vegetarian long before I started reading this book. I took the initiative not because of cute furry animals dying, no I don’t care if I devour my uncle’s cow, Bertha. I want to have a vegetarian based diet because of my stomach troubles. I have a hard time digesting meats properly sometimes. This was my second time reading this book, so I already knew what came along when grabbing it from my very dusty shelf.

DON’T FORGET TO FOLLOW ME IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER!!!

Now I leave you with a popular YouTuber, Joe Penna or MysteryGuitarMan as he is known on YouTube. The following is a commercial he did for McDonald’s. I like this video because it shows Joe’s talent as a normal person who became successful with YouTube, not because it has McDonald’s stuff.

A BLOG POST TO END ALL CULINARY CLASS PROBLEMS?

Hello my friends, if you were wondering what on earth my answer was it is simple/complicated. I will give back stories to all of the facts.

1. Currently (darn you Charles) I am NOT hopelessly devoted to culinary arts, yes sad but true. If I was hopelessly devoted to Culinary Arts I would not be taking GEd classes and working, I would be making and creating new dishes and recipes for everyone to enjoy.

2. I am NOT in love with my soul mate, because not only has she not met me, but I have not met her either. I was listening to Michael Buble.

3. All I can say is…expect this story from someone else that is not me on YouTube.

4. This is the correct answer. There is no way anyone could have known, and to add to the sketchiness, I recently cut my hair. So just trust me. 

5. Yes my family is descended from the Aztecs, we have lived around the same area for a long time, but there is a significant amount of Spanish blood from my paternal grandmother’s side and from my maternal grandfather’s side.

6. I like cookbooks and I love reading what other chefs are up to in the world, but I do not let them influence my ideas.

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: SCHOOL

            If you are wondering what I’ve been going through I will tell you. If you haven’t I’m gonna tell you anyways. My culinary class is going great. I am learning new and different ways of cooking food. I love this class. In my gourmet class, we the students are the ones in charge of making the food for Oxnard College’s own secret restaurant. It gets a new name every spring as a result of the new students’ decisions. The students in the waiter’s class are the ones who decide on what the restaurant will be called. The students in the gourmet class are in charge of cooking the meals. The first three weeks I was with the dessert team. You can find footage of this on my YouTube channel youtube.com/twistedalphonso1 I highly suggest you watch the video titled “Thoughts of a Culinary Student”. The following week through late March I was in charge of the salad chefs. Two weeks ago I was and currently am with the main course team.

            Now on to the juicy stuff. In this paragraph I will spill the beans on the instructors and stuff the chef does not even know. Last semester we got a new instructor. He is pretty cool, apart from his huge ego. There are times when I ask myself how I am able to refrain from saying something I will regret at him. Don’t get me wrong he is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and good at what he does, but he is an a** sometimes. Well what else can you expect from French people, hairy armpits and no showers? We already know that. Don’t even get me started with the other chef’s class. I hear that even though we have 10 students running the Friday restaurant, and they have like 15, their part of the restaurant is hectic and a mess.

If I get in trouble or not liked from this post by my instructor I say to him “Bring it ON”. The truth must be told. This college needs another great instructor, not a culinary dictator. We need a culinary instructor not a chef. I was going to complain to the head of the culinary department anyways so I’m killing two birds with one stone right?

REMEMBER TO FOLLOW ME

I think that is all my brain is capable of tonight. With that I leave you a singer 100 TIMES WORSE THAT KESHA! Her name is Rebecca Black and I’m disappointed by some of the music being released today.

But at least this new sexy singer Porcelain Black gives hope to new new music, and it doesn't hurt that Lil' Wayne appears in it.

I BET YOU CAN'T GUESS THE TRUTH!

For this week I will be stating five lies and one truth. This brings back memories of one of my favorite podcasts of all time, Smartmouths Podcast. They had two truths one lie, which is easier to guess the lie in my opinion.

1. I am hopelessly devoted to Culinary Arts.

2. I am in love with my soul-mate, but she hasn't met me yet.

3. I will kayak across the Pacific Ocean this summer and post a video about my journey on YouTube.

4. I have medium-length hair.

5. I have Aztec blood in my veins as a result of my family being in a town almost never have been visited by Europeans.

6. I don't like cookbooks because I like to come up with my own recipes without the influence of any one.

Why are you here?

Last year the online site YouTube became more popular than ever. Whether is was the ONE BILLION  people that subscribes to different channels, or YouTubers getting contracts and deals with major record labels and large-scale production companies, YouTube was everywhere. Many people are turning their channels into their own company and also in to like a brand-type channel. On the other hand there are always bad apples and YouTube is no exeption.

When someone from YouTube is explaining to someone who knows nothing about YouTube what the site is, they DO NOT SAY EVERYTHING! The one thing we YouTubers avoid telling you is that there are A LOT of haters on the site. They are called trolls and are hated and loved. They are hated because you will work your booty off on a project you hold near and dear to your heart and as soon as you post it these trolls may or may not leave a very rude comment 'just for fun'. The smart people however do a very simple and smart thing, they ignore them. My mom always says that if you ignore a crazy person eventually they will leave you alone, and gosh darn it my mom IS right. We YouTubers used to get ridiculed as soon as we mentioned snything about YouTube.

We used to be treated like trash from television companies, but just last year rating have DROPPED LIKE FLIES from television shows. Does anyone know where those views have gone? YouTube. From the outside we YouTubers last year started to look like we knew what we were doing. Even though the majority did, there are still some that do not know simply WHY they visit this site!

A pen-pal and a vlogger made two almost similar videos. In these two videos they asked a simple question; Why are you on YouTube? It is a question similar to one asked five years ago when YouTube was still a child which was "Who are you?" That question made the YouTube community become more connected with each other. The present question however, we still do not know what it will bring. I am still hesitant to answer that question not because I do not know why I still am on YouTube, but because I have many answers and I do not know how to paraphrase, summarize os shorten them down. Many different people, however have answered that question, which I tip off my invisible hat to them.

My pen-pal, Cory's video is below. It is in two short parts.

     Part one:

     Part two:

The vlogger, ProjectCarTv's (as he's known on YouTube) video is a long one, but It contains GREAT AND PHILOSOPHOCAL ideas/questions. If you are in a tight schedule watch from 3:30 through about 10:00.

WARNING: IF YOU ONLY WATCH PART OF THE VIDEO YOU WILL LOSE GREAT CONTENT. Seriously please watch if fully it is great!

Bye and don't forget to follow/stalk me.

Lady GaGa and Homosexuals were Born This Way!

I think this decade will be defined as the decade that resolved Gay Rights. Look how far we have come in just ten years. In the 1990s the general population still thought homosexuals were genetically and mentally retarded human beings. Just last year there were many pro-homosexual movements all over the world. In China, the current gay generation defines themselves as the ‘Transitional Generation’, meaning that they believe they are the generation that will pave the way into a more homosexual-accepting China. The NOH8 campaign is a picture-based movement started by a photographer showing how many people, gay and straight, are sick and tired of the hate constantly being received from the conservative and elder population. India, another “straight” country has already seen quite a few gay-parades in its time and they are growing. With all this talking (or typing) of homosexual facts from all over the world what is my view you wonder? 

At first when I learned what a homosexual was I will honestly say I was disgusted. I thought how a dude can have a relationship with another dude? Today I realize that my parents intentionally planted that idea and similar thoughts into my brain. Over time as I grew up and became a junior in high school I had different feelings towards homosexuals. Mainly because I had friends that were either gay or bisexual, and I did not even know they were “different” anyways. I always saw my homosexual friends as normal human beings with a weird pitch in their vocal cords. When I realized they were gay, that’s when I started questioning my Christian beliefs. In the Christian world a companionship between two men or two women is unacceptable and forbidden, end of story. Throughout my junior year and senior year of high school I continued to find my beliefs on homosexuals. One situation that helped me become more accepting towards the gay community in senior year was having lesbian friends. 

Have you ever seen two smoking hot girls make out right in front of you? I have, and watching those two beautiful ladies engage in PDA is truthfully what made me more accepting. My question is what straight guy doesn’t honestly want that to happen; I bet many straight men fantasize about a scene involving two females in close proximity to each other’s lips. In conclusion, today I believe that the homosexual population is normal, yes it’s that simple. Homosexuals are normal human beings that should be treated like everybody else. It does not matter if you’re black skin, brown skin, yellow skin, red skin, white skin, gold skin, homosexual, a dwarf, or a giant; we are all genetically 99.9% similar in one way or another. With that I say to all the homophobes: WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY!
