It's so funny to me how when you are looking for scholarships all the junk you have to go through. If you apply for one then you have to go through all these steps or "other offers" just to finish your application. Then on top of that they fill you inbox up with junk.

A Source

One of the sources I have is a study about why inmates in  correctional institutions get tattoos even though there are sanctions if caught. In some cases those sanctions can affect their parole, but yet they still get them. Alot of them get tattoos that show who they are affiliated with or get tattoos that mean something to them. I think it is a reliable source. I found it by using the MTSU database. It will help me in my aper when it comes to discussing the differences and similarities in prison tattoos and street tattoos and the reason for getting them.

Kids Castle

After my oldest got of school today I took them all to kids castle. Now it has changed alot since I was a kid. They have remodled the whole thing. When you go there you see mainly what you expect to see. You see the families and kids playing and having a good time. But if you go on Friday or Saturday night you will see teenagers. Now i'm not sure why its so cool to hang out at a kids park but i guess that's on them. What me and many others are wondering is why must these teenagers come to a family friendly environment and dress like they at the dang beach!!!!!! I personally don't get it and it's a little disturbing for teenagers to be hanging out around where my toddlers play. But yeah......

Citations

I don't really mind citations. The only format i have ever used is MLA. They are pretty easy i think. The only part that is a pain is the works cited page where toy have to put all that informatio in a certain order and with all the periods. I think that part is pointless. But hey that's just me.

Craigslist

Lately I have been on Craigslist alot looking for a friend a car. It is a pretty good site for the most part. The only thing that gets me is some of the things they out in certain categories. Like for instance I was "Cars and Trucks"..... Why was there ads on there for horses? And there were ads for like toy and model cars. Why would all those things be in the same category? If you are searching by price then alot of the "Dealer" ads are decieving. You could be searching for cars in the $1000 range but with the dealer ads you have to actually click on them and then you see that is $1000 down. So yeah....

One of my sources is titled Tattoos Point to Prison Background. It was published in the Virginia Gazette. It's talking about a man who was burned to death and his identity is unknown. The only clues thay have are tattoos that appear to be prison tattoos.There is a difference between tattoos you get on the street and one's you get in prison. You can tell alot about  person by their tattoos, especially tattoos that were gotten while incarcerated. I believe this is a reliable source because he uses a government source that has gathered information about this when giving information about what the tattoos mean that the man had.

Homecoming...

Ok I did not attend homecoming but as I was driving down Middle Tennessee I noticed something and i've actually noticed it before at the time of the other games..... for some reason it seems when all the tents are set up and people are cooking for the most part they are segregated. I saw mainly white people in a certain area and then mainly black people in another area. Now i'm not exactly sure why this is but I had noticed it at other games and wondered the saame things. I think we should all be mixed in there together. I'm sure they have different music choices and such things like that why seperate yourselves. What does that teach the children that see this? I sure wouldn't want to have to answer to my children as to why there are only whote people there and black people over there. My kids are mixed so they have a white side of the family and a black side. I'm sure it's nothing intentional but I still think it sends a message out......

October 4th

The Shadow Scholar had a point I think. He is not the reason people cheat. I mean yeah it's wrong for them to contact him to write papers and it's not right that these stuents can get aaway with it. But the simple fact is that even if he stopped doing it there will always be someone out there writing papers for other people. The skills I have learned I guess are to try to stay organized. Especially when you have more than one source, then you should make notes on each source and page numbers so all the info you need is readily accessable to you when you are putting the paper together. I have found that if you keep all your notes together just divided up and labeled well then it helps alot.
