Laughter in animals

check-out line at a grocery store, get into an elevator that is crowded with strangers, and after the doors close, introduce ourselves to the group, get into an elevator (with people in it) and stand with our nose against the back wall, or tie a stuffed animal onto a leash and drag it through a public place. The one I chose to do was to get into an elevator that is crowded with strangers and introduce myself. Before walking up to and stepping foot on the elevator my heart was pounding because…

Dumb Things Are Important Hello. I think you're pretty neat. Thank you for stopping by. So dumb things... If you wanna take the title as a complaint, you'll have a lot of ammunition to prove your point. In the education world, there are a lot of dumb rules and contradictory policies from the classroom level all the way up to the education policy makers. The problem, for me with this line of thinking is it's not what I do well. I mean, yeah, I can complain, and iddlI can point fingers, but I'm…

not want to laugh. Therefore, the foul language takes away for the humor of the special. For example, in Sebastian’s bit abouting getting rid of the animals that were eating at his garden. Sebastian most likely used multiple curse words about fifteen time throughout this bit. The language was not needed in the joke and really dampened the laughter during the show. Even though some people do not care about the language it is still a negative about the special and should be taken out of the…

It is fascinating to find that things that apparently seem to be so different can be developed in such way that they sustain the same point of view. If we think about the career of a very tall, basketball player; people attraction to voyeurism; the career of a country music singer who beats records in discs’ selling, and the use of laugh tracks in comedy sitcom, it looks like there can not be a strong connection between them. Now if we consider that the public is looking for this basketball…

15 days until deployment -------- "I have two weeks, a day, and approximately 8 hours with Lauren. To put it into simpler terms that 's 15 days or 21,600 minutes. Probably 21,598 minutes after figuring out the conversion of days into minutes. Lately, I 've been reading a lot of books on military families and children, which I think was to make me feel better but has seemed to do the complete opposite. As if telling me to prepare for death and to stay positive during it would help me feel better…

I have always tried to live my life without regrets, so this assignment was kind of hard for me. I had to sit down and really think about what it is that I would want to tell my younger self. Then it finally hit me, one thing I would tell myself as a child is to take more opportunities that come my way. Not saying that we should take every opportunity, but to enjoy life a little more when we are given the chance to. I would explain to my younger self that we may not realize it now but we have…

The way your life follows is just how you make it. Live everyday like it is your last. “Who are you to judge the life I live? I am not perfect and I don’t have to be! Before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” Bob Marley, a singer, songwriter, and musician, is famously known for his amazing quotes, especially this one. His quote is stating be the person that you want to be. Do not ever live with regrets. Live your life with only yourself in mind. The most…

Who am I? I am a high yellow mixed boy, wouldn’t say I’m rich and wouldn’t say I’m poor. I am educated and unhealthy, and one with a lot of resentment. I’ve always been taught “Stop talking white, and you sound stupid talking like that.” I’ve always been the type of person to ask a lot of questions so my response would be simply what does it mean to talk white? Society has taken the word “proper” as a way to attract white culture. What does it mean to be proper? (Proper means to represent…

people hurting themselves for laughter, we can laugh due to almost anything. Lately in pop culture, there has been a lot of backlash towards the source of laughter. In movies, we see girls laughing when they make fun of another person, we see boys laughing when they pull a harmful prank on another guy, and people are generally laughing at other (s) misfortunes. Laughter as an entire concept has been blamed on this, but it seems more plausible that the source of laughter comes from the person…

Gamble My mind was a crystal vase that contained only one desire, which was to win. I slumped back into my red leather chair, as the Slots machine again stole my money, it was my sixth loss in a row. The big flashing red words of “LOSS” on the digital screen and the loud voices of joy fed on my insecurities. I was sitting here bleary-eyed and unshaven in front of this wealthy machine, but I was only adding to its wealth, as I slowly munched through the family’s life savings. I just spent 2 hours…
