The final blog

1. After a scare last weekend and a controversial ROUGH draft grade, we were motivated as a group to knock out the remaining filming and editing of our film. I can't stand the shit talking of other groups about how good their video is going to be so I personally couldn't care less what grade we get as long as we beat Leah and simon's groups. I think with all of the work that we've done will allow our film to be really good. We(Mitchell & I) have put alot of time and thought into this project so I hope that we can keep the audience interesting and entertaining, as well as getting the word out about the game that we love. Maybe it's our competitive, sporting nature but we're out for blood this time and hopefully our video will bring home some hardwear.

2.this weeks reading reminded me of the MLK and Hughes readings. Like those, it was charged by differences between the author and a white-male world. I sometimes get tired of hearing people whine about being minorities, but this is a great poem. the author uses angst, sarcasm, and a passive-aggressive style that is really beneficial to the point that she is trying to prove.

Blog swag. Can't remember the number but I think it's number nine.

1. Our documentary has been coming along quite well. We've had two good interviews so far and we've been getting alot of good b-roll for our video. We hope to be able to interview a Mn soccer legend because he would be a great addition to the two interviews that we already have. Our documentary is going to take alot of work in the next two weeks but Mitchell and I hope that we can over come the presence of Gabe and make a good film.

2. This weeks reading was cool but I didn't like it as much as the readings that we had done in the past couple of weeks. I liked what Dr. King and Langston Hughes had to say much better. I learned much more from those readings than I did from this week but it was short again so it was at least an easy read.
