Sundays
I hop on my bike and go to the store
I'm so glad that I finished my chores
Make a quick left on College Drive
I'm so excited. Jump and Jive
Look over there its Crazy Steve
No thanks Crazy Steve
Hustle and bustle inside Walmart
I'm looking around, shopping smart
Go to the back to get new cards
Try to focus but it's so hard
A lot of cool things, ring-a-ding-dings
A bobble head of Martin Luther King
Out of money for the Easter Bunny
No more money for the Easter Bunny

Rock N Roll McDonald's
Rock N Roll McDonald's by Wesley Willis is considered one of the best songs ever. The true art and passion within the lyrics are to be truly marveled. Repetition is a key element in the song, as the three choruses are simply "Rock N Roll McDonald's!" repeated four times. I feel that this truly gets the point across that Rock N Roll McDonald's is not to be ignored.
Rock N Roll McDonald's was a special McDonald's restaurant in the heart of Chicago, built in the 1980's. It was three times the size of a normal McDonald's, and hosted several famous artists like Jimmy Hendrix and Elton John. In the son, Wesley Willis was speaking kindly of Rock N Roll McDonald's, and didn't seem to have any problems with it. However, things take a sharp turn in the second, and especially third verses. Willis insists that Burger King is superior due to the fact that a Quarter Pounder from Burger King has 2 grams of fat less that a Big Mac, and that eating McDonald's will make you fat.
When I think of the imagery reflected in Rock N Roll McDonald's, all I see is a greasy hamburger, waiting to be eaten; waiting to ruin someone's day. Also, the firm tone used by Willis tells me that he means business, and I respect that.
If Wesley Willis' goal was to persuade people to steer clear of McDonald's and stop by Burger King, he sure did win me over. The points he makes about the fat in Big Macs are difficult to overlook, and I cannot help but to be a bit skeptical about whether or not there Willis is biased against McDonald's, but I will do further research and update accordingly.
Rock N Roll McDonald's is a true masterpiece of our time, and I think it is about time that someone recognized it. Thank you Mr. Willis and McDonald's.

Research Paper Draft-is ok i guess
I think my draft is okay, but not great. I do think that I am great at filling up countless pages with meaningless garbage and making sound like I know what I am talking about.
There was not much to it actually. I just went to noodle tools and realized that my annotated bibliography did not help me at all. I then realized that I should have made at least a single notecard, lol. I had to look back at all my articles and pull quotes from there that I guess were relevant. ? I am sure that there are a number of things that Dr. D can help me change and make my final draft the best that it can be. Right now though, I don't agree with most of the things my essay says. I go on and on about how there should be "more security". Okay, that is so weak and general. Sure there are a few good points in there, but most of it is ridiculous.
For example, I bring up "safe gun technology", which is cool, but these guns would only make up .0000000000000001 percent of all the guns out there, it is just unreasonable.
Also, why do I try and pretend like pharmaceutical companies really pay attention to "who is taking what anxiety pill" or "who has depression". Besides, they cannot legally share that with the world any way. Bottom line, I still have a lot of work to do.
Believe in me block 3

My Productive Break
When the BR Blizzard was mercilessly pounding the city, I was inside my cozy home working diligently on my essay.
jk
I procrastinated the heck out of those three days. I basically laid in bed until Thursday when I realized all the work I had to do. From noon until midnight, I was in my room doing work. I had math, science, history, I had to make churros, and the English essay that I had neglected. In fact, I didn't start until Saturday morning and and finished about ten hours ago. I also realized that I was behind on the Indian book and read that too and just did the questions for that and now I'm blogging.
lol.
btw!!!
book- 2 hrs.
essay- 4+ hrs.
