Tagged: About Me

Since I'm rather new to this whole blogging thing and I am not sure who actually reads this so I have decided that I will post five facts to help you get to know me.

1. I have many talents including stroking the three ball in basketball, and I am a pretty good writer, but my strangest talent is that due to my ear canals being extremely narrow I can make squirrel/dolphin sounds with my ear.

2. I am extremely loyal to my close friends but I don’t necessarily open up to very many people. This is partially because I'm a little bit on the shy side but partially because I just don't feel the need for everyone to like me.

3. When my friends were asked to describe me in one word they simply said "Logan." I am extremely complemented by this because I march to the beat of my own drum and with the exception of loved ones and a few close friends, I don’t let anyone else control what I do or how I feel.

4. I am fascinated by the fact the one person in the media can help to shape and form the opinions of a large number of people. This is why I am majoring in mass communications and plan to enter either the broadcasting or advertising profession once I leave school.

5. I am a very competitive individual and completely despise losing in all forms. I have played basketball my entire life and currently play for the Morningside College JV team. Sports have always been an important part of my life and I believe that it is very important for people to stay in relatively good shape, I feel very little sympathy for people who complain about weight gain and such because generally these people lead inactive lifestyles and don't have enough discipline to eat healthy food.

Now you know me a little better, and love it or hate it the underdog is on top! I'm not really sure where that came from but on that note I'm out.

A New Method of Interrogation

Today, while trying to stay awake during graphic design class today, I had an idea the just could turn the intelligence community upside down. Instead of torturing or threatening suspected terrorists, or anyone person who they desire to extract information from, the intelligence community should force them to listen to a graphic design lecture. Today in my two hour class Dr. Kolbo gave a lecture on color systems and printing processes that was unbearable. I would like to make the disclaimer that I am not bashing Dr. Kolbo, he is a very good graphic design teacher, but instead I am bashing the accepted teaching methods. Few, if any people actually find learning about color systems and printing processes interesting, instead the subject should be taught by using the colors and printing processes on projects and when they have question the professor is their to guide them. So instead of wasting two hours of an entire classes life by forcing them to go lectures on topics that can only be learned in a hands on manner and invariably causing students to fall asleep they should simply designate a two hour nap time to students who would otherwise be wasting their time.
