The Office
The Office is a very good show. It's awkward humor sets the tone in the modern day office, in Scranton, Pennyslvania. Michael Scott is really funny and has decents jokes that are mainly funny because they are awkward. My favorite episode is the final episode in season 4 when Michael is getting ready for to leave. Michael hates Toby with a passion. He made the security guard escort him out of the office so he wouldn't take anything which obviously he had no intentions of stealing anything. The episode was dramatical because Andy proposed to Angela right before Jim was about to propose to Pam which really left audiences stunned. We also saw Dwight and Angela up in the office afterwards sneaking off and doing there thing if you know what I mean. I am curious to see if Dwight lets this marriage go through because thats just how intense he is. Another mystery waiting to be solved is the one between Michael and Holly Flack the new human resources employee who took over Toby's spot. Michael looked interested at first but then there is still his ex girlfriend Jan who is pregnant so those two could wind up together again. It begins on thursday night and I am very excited to see the mysteries be reveiled, or at least some.

Outside Reading
I am going to read Act of Treason for my outside reading, by Vince Flynn. It is about two politicians running for president and the race is very close. 3 weeks before the election, Joe Alexander's limo is bombed and his wife is killed. Presidential elect Joe Alexander survives and later wins the election by a landslide.
Mitch Rapp, CIA man, is hired to find the assassin and bring him back. After he is captured their is still much to be found out. Somebody inside Washington hired this terrorist to do this job. Weeks later they find out that Joe Alexander's wife, who is now dead, had an affair with a Secret Service agent, making some things tie together. Mitch Rapp is trying to uncover mysteries, along with CIA director Irene Kennedy. This political thriller really rushes the reader and makes it tough to put the book down. This is the second Vince Flynn thriller I'm going to read and I think they would also make great movies. They would almost be like the Bourne Movies with more politics and terrorism. I plan on reading many more Vince Flynn thrillers because they are action packed just like the Harry Potter books which I also liked and was disapointed when there were no more left to read so I have always thought about more books coming out because they would be awesome but it probably won't happen anyway.

A Journey I Intend to Take
A journey I would like to take in my lifetime would be a trip with all my friends to several different ball parks. My friends and I would rent an RV and bring our xbox 360's along with us. An unlimited supply of Cokes would have to join us. We would go to Cellular, Wrigley, Bucsh Stadium, and many others. This would be the ultimate trip because I love to watch baseball, especially with friends. I can't wait to try this trip, it would be da best.
Blog Expections
My name is Matt. This is my super cool blog, which I will personalze and make my own(but not post pics of myself or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the Englisg language. The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on texts that I am viewing in the world around me . These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, internet articles, television shows, trips to museums, etc.
Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that Wednesday. Therefore, Q1 due dates are: 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22 and 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 post for this quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holisically (I will recieve the rubric from Mrs. B soon). I also undertand that blogging is significant componet of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just typed is only 196 words! Now it is 200!
