Merry Christmas? Hmm

More like scary Christmas! All people think about around the holidays is what there going to receive or what there gonna buy for Christmas. Yeah it's fun, but what about the people that can't afford anything, or people that can't afford to have a Christmas dinner? I doubt their singing hymns, or worrying about who there gonna kiss under the mistletoe. Every year around the holidays me and my mom go to senior homes and spend time with the people who have no family or friends. We bring them flowers and candy and visit with each person. My reasoning to posting this blog is to remind you that even though the countdown to Christmas starts tomorrow, please make sure to think of the people who may not have anything to countdown too.

Tupac vs John Lennon

A few days ago me and my boyfriend were arguing about who is a better musician and who's words were more powerful to people. My opinion was that John Lennon was better, and he was insisting uac was better. Later on that day i was thinking about our little conflict, and i decided an answer of whos more worthy. Their the same. No on is better than another, and your just being bias if you think so. It all depends on how you were raised and the kind of people you grew up with that ultimatly effects your opinion. Tupac was a great musician and role-model. yeah i admit he's not exactly my style, but i can still respect him. and on John Lennons behalf, "Give Peace a Chance"!

Subliminal Messaging in Disney

So, this week in Media & Society we were discussing advertising and how sometimes they send out subliminal messages. Subliminal messages are something that the conscious mind doesn't see, but your subliminal mind picks up. I have heard that a bunch of Disney movies have Many subliminal messages, usually sexual based. Here are a few examples:
If you look closely, the dust in the air clearly spell out the words "sex".

The Little Mermaid cover seems as if there is a phallus right in the center... hm?

Does Disney Have a dirty mind? You decide.

"Radio" Ray Pietz

Voice of valley talk radio, "Radio" Ray Pietz of KGAL AM, gave a spoke to Rob Priewe's Media & Society class of about 10, on the obstacles of his past years and how those experiences influenced him to talk radio.
Oct. 21, Ray Pietz spoke to the Media & Society class about the development of modern day radio in the media, and how those advances affect listeners; such as the Telecommunications Act of 1996, enabling major companies to own as many stations as they like, limiting the point of views we the listeners acquire.
"You never know when you can run into something that will change your life forever" said Pietz, while discussing the term of his life when he was invited to broadcast school. "Radio has always been a magnet to me, drawn to me"
Students of Mr. Priewe's Media & Society class undeniably enjoyed Pietz optimistic outlook on situations; from reasons why he should be the one elected president, to the not-so-fair Telecommunications Act. Pietz speech was certainly worth listening to! To listen in on the fun yourself, tune to 1580 KGAL AM Monday-Thursday 11:06 a.m. – noon. You won't regret it.

Newspaper

My Muddy Creek Maze story was printed in the commuter, my mom was super excited and so am I! I am proud of myself, and so is my family!! =)

Muddy Creek Maze

From the pumpkin patch to the hayride, Muddy Creek Corn Maze is without question a local Halloween thrillseeker's dream.
Owners Glenda and John Davis have spent multiple years running the annual corn maze (that is in the form of a wagon). The Davis family has transformed their beloved farm into a thrilling, heartwarming affair; from 30 acres of grass seed, suddenly to a seasonal Halloween celebration for family and friends.
"I loved it, especially the homemade doughnuts and apple cider," said Kevin Walker, a student of OSU.
The pumpkin patch is just the beginning of the activities offered here at Muddy Creek Farm, starting with the straw for, the "moo train" for kids, homemade apple cider and hayrides; not to mention the unforgettable haunted maze. For those of you brave enough to enter, the mask-wearing monsters of the haunted maze are sure to scare "the daylights out of you, especially the chainsaw man at the end of the maze, said Sandi Frame, a mother of four.
The haunted maze admission is $9 per person, glow sticks are also offered for $1 to just barely light your path through the night-struck maze. No flashlights, backpacks or smoking is allowed on the premises.
Strobe lights are located throughout the maze and two exits for the suddenly claustrophobic or "not so brave" as well.
For the Davis family, holding the festivities of their pumpkin patch and corn maze is "definitely rewarding for us and the community," said John Davis.
Daytime admission is 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. every Saturday-Sunday, and weekdays by appointment. The cost is $6 for adults and $4 for children (6-11); younger than 5 is free.
Located six miles south of Corvallis on Llewellyn Road, Muddy Creek Corn Maze will be held Oct. 24, 25, 20 and 31.

Dammit Janet, its the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Flying toast, lingerie and more is what to expect at the Majestic Theatre's "Rocky Horror Picture Show" this coming January.
From the "Rocky Horror" fans of Transsexual Transylvania heaving toilet paper, to each person joining the time-warp dance, the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is still a favorite of both worldwide and local Corvallis residents. "Rocky Horror" derived from being a potentially ill-fated movie to being one of the longest running theatrical releases in film history.
Essentially what to expect is Dr Frank-N-Furter, your average mad-scientist, alien transvestite; who if he's not belting out a song, is having sex with someone – gender not an issue.
"Rocky Horror Picture Show "is generally known by the public for being a cult movie, due to its devoted, obsessive fan base. "Rocky Horror is the only Movie around where you're encouraged to arrive in lingerie, holler obscenities at the screen and to cast objects across the theater," said Shannon Skaré, a committed fan of "Rocky Horror".
Brianna McGinley, a student of Harding Alternative High School in Corvallis, said, "This movie isn't for everyone, you either hate it or love it, but dammit (Janet) I liked it!"
Brian Watkins, the facilities manager of the Majestic Theatre, mentioned that the past 30 years of fun of the drag-fest influenced him and is now one of the few reasons he began working for the theatre; admitting that "The Rocky Horror Picture Show is truly one of the greatest motion pictures ever made".
"Come join us in on all the fun" Watkins said.

Time Machine... is it possible?

Over the weekend i was doing my usual reading, and i came across an intriguing book of randomn facts. I started browsing through the pages and i found a page dedicated to the question "is time travel possible"? Curious, i read the paragraphs and one question made me go "hmmm". If time travel is possible, than why hasn't anyone from the future come back to tell us about it? I thought about it for awhile, and i was definetly stumped.

Ofcourse it's not possible when you think about it, but it's always fun to dream.
