I'm Finna get my blog on

So I’m sittin here trying to figure out what to write about. All I can think about is music, how awesome it is to just chill out and listen to music. I think that it is great that you can take just about any mood you’re in and find multiple songs to fit that exact mood. When I am mellow and gloomy I tend to listen to alternative rock, something that has something that may have some heavy melodic tunes but all around isn’t too hardcore. When I am pissed off I listen to thrash metal, death metal, anything that I can get my hands on that screams at my ears. I end up in this mood a lot so it has one of two effects on me. Either I just listen and start to forget my troubles or it amps up my temper. I really feel that music, can express my feelings or thoughts better than I could. The people that know me best could probably determine my mood by the band that I’m listening to. I also like to listen to music when I work on homework, play video games, while I work, and when I’m playing soccer. There is definitely a way to tell the way music effects its listeners by going to concerts. Like when you go to a medal show you see people jumping and running in a frantic manner. These are called mosh pits. Or if you were to go to a country show I assume you’ll see I slightly less violent crowd. It is a good way to determine how the band’s music affects its listeners

Am I peeing?... Wake me up if i'm peeing

Ahh…. Another night of staying up late in order to get my papers finished, I love being able to sit down at my house and just write write write. Well it seems as if writing is beginning to get a little bit easier, weird right? I never thought that me taking the initiative to get that higher education would actually force me to learn something new so quickly. See I was the type of person that pretty much skated their way through high school. I never did my homework and got by because I would just study for my tests and do well on those. Well it seems like I won’t be able to do that anymore. I wait until the last minute in order to write my papers, which is almost exhilarating after I get done arguing myself into starting my assignment. I find myself reading a little bit more in my spare time opposed to playing Xbox. Even though I may not be reading the New York Times best selling books, I read stuff that interests me. I could recommend some books to anyone out there interested, Motley Crue the dirt is just a fascinating piece on the rise, fall, and rise again of the band. It takes you through each member’s drug problems and heir rehab experiences and talks about their partying days. A book that pretty much goes along with that is The heroin Diaries which is a personal Diary written by Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx. These books are crazy awesome because it’s all true stories and stuff like that and the stories just amaze me. Rock stars know how to live it up yo.

Somewhere over the Rainbow.......A Lesson in Tolerance

This week Peoria hosted its first annual gay ride event. THAT’S RIGHT! Right here in Central Illinois. Kinda hard to believe? Sucks to suck. I’m glad that there might be a sliver of hope for this city I call home. Peoria is such a culturally diverse region and sometimes it’s hard to tell. If you stop to think about it, sure you can pick a town in Central IL and stereotype the people that live there, but think about a lack of publicized diversity. I’m sure that there is a lot of stuff that I don’t see just because I’m pretty busy and I don’t literally search for everything new and exciting. As I was reading up on the topic at Pjstar.com, I noticed quite a few forum comments that bashed the event. This upset me quite a bit. Now, I am not gay, but I do support the whole “gay pride” movement because I believe people should be able to live the way they want to. To narrow that statement down a little bit, People should live the way they choose as long as they aren’t causing bodily harm or damage to themselves or any other persons. That seems like a fair and logical way to accept a different culture into our lives. The worst part is that people were bashing the event because “It’s not Christian”. STOP and think about this whole thing please hear my point and feel free to respond in your own views. (I hoped this topic would get me quite a few comments)1. From what I remember about hearing in church, is that Jesus/God accepts everyone no matter who they are or what life choices they make. 2. There is a separation of church and state (pertaining to gay marriage) 3. If you believe in fate, that means that god made homosexuals to live their life that particular way, so why would he oppose their choices? I’m sure that there are plenty of other things that I could come up with but that could be saved for a future blog. My overall point is that gays don’t bash the straights for their life choice, return the favor and shut your mouth if you are not educated on the subject. If you truly have weighed out the options and read up on the views and you are still against the topic, I respect that and I believe that you are allowed to state your opinion, BUT IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER.

Because I don't conform to society. There is no Title(kinda)

To me writing is not my main expression of thought or feelings. I have other ways that I cope with expression. The main reason I write is because I’m in school and I am forced to. I suppose I still end up writing somewhat whether it be writing up status on social networking sites or texting my way through English class. I mean not doing that. I am literally texting someone at any given time in the day. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m pretty new to my completely touch screen phone I could text people from my phone as it sits in my pocket. But as far as anything lengthy and serious it doesn’t happen much. Every once in awhile I have to write a lengthy e-mail or something but nothing that would get critiqued or something. Writing or trying to put my thoughts into words seems like a complete chore unless I am writing about something that I am passionate about. And it normally takes something pretty controversial or something that I take EXTREME interest in for the passion to exists. I normally have no problem stating my opinion on subjects and arguing my piece about them. But I also see myself as someone who may not agree with everyone’s opinion but I try to see things from other people’s perspective and accept that they are entitled to their own opinion. I hope that whenever anyone reads my blogs this semester they understand that I don’t mean to offend or put down anyone, I would never attack someone without being attacked myself. I dislike drama; I’m very laid back, if you want to be my friend……sounds good to meJ

Introduction lett3r

Dear Ms. Stephanie,
Hello my name is Adam Pitzer. I am eighteen years young and born March 12, 1991 right here in Peoria. I live here in Peoria with my dad and my step-mom. I also stay with my mom and step-dad from time to time in Bartonville. I have four siblings that include one older step-brother, a younger step-brother and step-sister, and a younger blood brother. I have a plethora of extracurricular activities that include many sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball, football, and tennis. I absolutely love listening to music and going to concerts. The main genre of music that I listen to is heavy metal but it pretty much branches into all forms of rock music. My favorite bands include Haste the Day, Killswitch Engage, and Motley Crue. I also enjoy going on road trips with my best buddy Cole. My favorite movie is Saving Private Ryan simply because it is pure genius. I am attending ICC in order to start my career as a police officer. Hopefully after one year here at ICC I can transfer to either Illinois State or Western Illinois. I also play Xbox, go bowling, hang out with my friends, and text constantly in my spare time. For someone who doesn’t watch that much TV I religiously watch the shows It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Rescue Me. For this school year I plan to obtain a high GPA this year in order to make it easier for me to transfer out and it will also make it much easier to jump start my career as an officer of the law. I’d like to be the type of police officer that proves to people that the law is not the “bad guys”, that they are there “to protect and serve” as it is proudly displayed on their chests. I also hope to meet lots of new people and keep my old friends and to just make these next few years the best of my life. I always am up for a good time and I would describe myself as someone who is very laid back. I hope this gives you a little insight to who I am as a person.
Sincerely,
Adam Pitzer
