Thoughts On Virtues!





My thoughts on virtues is, I wish there are more people who are shown virtuous! If you are


wondering what virtues are, virtues is the ability to give honor, and integrity. There are seven


virtues, and those seven are:




Chastity - Chasity is the ability to show courageousness and boldness to others, and to


yourself. It's when you are embracing honest decency and accomplishing purity of the mind to


your education and bettering yourself.


Abstinence -  Abstinence is the ability to have self-control, never-ending care for other people


and for oneself.


Liberality -  Kindness. The affection of giving or spending freely. being noble of your thoughts


and actions.


Diligence -  Diligence is the ability of showing enthusiasm and careful nature in one's actions


and work. Decisive work ethic. Monitoring another's  activities to prevent from laziness.


Patience- avoidance and endurance through balance. Solving conflicts peacefully, as opposed


to address to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners.


Kindness - Charity, compassion, friendship, and sympathy without prejudice and for its own


sake.


Humility- Honest behavior, caring of others, and the treating with respect. Giving credit when


people need it the most; not unfairly glorifying your own self.


Thank You...And God Bless!

Scripted Work Scene!

Today in class, we were presenting our scripted work scenes. I am stage manager in that class, and as stage manager I had to go around and ask everyone "What time do you want to present?" My peers were giving me so much fuss to where because of the position I gave them; nobody did not want to go first, even my partner and I did not want to go first, but since there was so much fussing about it, we had too. But it was quite funny because when ever my peers told me "your stage manager, you just pick who goes first, second etc." and then I pick what time they will be presenting, and then I told them, they get up set and say "No I am Not ready, that's not fair!" and created even more excuses to why they do not want to present that time. and since my partner and I had to go first and we did not want to it, it made us even more nervous.


We barely had anytime to rehearse which made us extremely nervous, which is why when we performed on game day, it was a bust. I was acting good during three quarters through the scene until I started to laugh. We were not full frontal, our scene did not look like how it was supposed to look; it was just a bust. I was just upset, but at the end of the day it wasn't worth getting upset of something t could of been done better. I Just wish I had much time to rehearse.


Thank You... And God Bless!

Media Presentation!





After we came back from the Ossington Trip, we had to come back with a story about something as I mentioned before. My story was about the diversity that the people in downtown toronto carried; whether it was by fashion, appearances etc. they all had different things about them.But after I finished my presentation, I felt like I did well, until my teacher gave me feedback on my presentation.


My teacher said that my presentation was not good at all; she said my personaility saved my presentation; she said I wasn't dressed appropiately for the presentation; she said that I did not create a good story to the point where my presentation gave me an R (a.k.a. an F). It was kind of a bummer for me because, like I said before, I felt like I did well. But then after, we were told that the extra ciriculm has changed. To get a level 4 we now have to meet and go beyond all the expectations of that work. This is going to be a rough time. 

Thank You...And God Bless!

My First Time Blogging!


 I Remember The First Time I Started Blogging, I Was So Excited, I Could Remember The Exact Words I Typed:




"I Can’t Believe I Am Doing This, Blogging, Whoa! It Feels Like I Am About To Start School For The First Time. This Is What I'm Talking About, Having My Own Blog Site To Share My Ideas, I Would Usually Search On The Computer And Read Other Peoples Blog But Now It’s My Turn. My User Name Is ds49. The ds Stands For My Name, Dane Smith. Now That I'm The One That's Blogging, Imma Be Me.  
First Off, Today Is Friday, October 16, 2009. And I Would Like To Talk About My Thanksgiving. I Spent It With My Godparents, Big Ups To Dem, But Was Supposed To Spend It With My Grandparents And My Father's Family (I Live With My Mom). After I Called My Grandfather On Tuesday, He Told Me That He Spend It Alone With My Grandmother, And Right Then I Felt Regret That I Didnot Go. So I Called My Father To Ask Him Why He Didnt Go? He Said The Car Broke Down, And That Moment I Thought To Myself That Family Matters And That You Should See Them When You Get The Chance. The Reason Why I Didnt Go To Spend The Thanksgiving With My Grandparents Was, I Felt Like I Was One Of Their Only Grandchild That Sees Them Often So I Felt annoyed By It, But Now I Feel Regret!


Family Matter's Guys, Family Matter's."


Man Weren't Those The Days! Dang!

Friends.......Not!



Friends, to me it means a new member to your family ( If I was to describe family in one word it would be Asylum).  You can talk about whatever you want to that person and not have him/her telling anyone else about what you said and not talk about you. So basically I'm defining a best friend.
This is one thing that does not define a friend: someone who comes to you with a smile one minute then gossips about about your back. Like is that a friend or is that a Big Crapped Phony.  Like if you were to do something by accident about your friend and then quickly tell them, that to me is still a friend because he's being honest. But if the friend takes your accident and starts to act up especially in front of someone then later talks about you, that my audience is not a friend is a snake.
Definition of  Asylum:
1. An institution for the care of people, especially those with physical or mental impairments, who require organized supervision or assistance.
2. A place offering protection and safety; a shelter.
3. A place, such as a church, formerly constituting an inviolable refuge for criminals or debtors.
4. The protection afforded by a sanctuary.
5. Protection and immunity from extradition granted by a government to a political refugee from another country.

Flashback Thursday!




I Told You Guys That I Will Be Back For Another Flashback!


On January 13, 2010 I Wrote A Blog About My Christmas In 2009, Take A Look;








"As You May Not Know, I Was In Jamaica For The Holidays To Visit Relatives, And It Was The Best Christmas I Ever Had, Thus Far!
The Day Started Off As An Alright Kinda Day, That Morning I Was With My Mom; Her Husband/Kids/Nieces&Nephew/Sisters/GrandNiece/Mother, And Let Me Say That It Was An Alright Morning. Since I Was With My Maternal Family Since I Came To Jamaica, I Decided To Go To My Paternal Family; But Things Came As A Horror To Me When I Found Out That Know One Was Able To Pick Me Up Or Drop Me Off, But In A Few Hours That Horror Turned Into A Relief Because My Cousin Was Gonna Pick Me Up To Go See My Paternal Family, And I Felt Reliefed (As I Said). When Time Came I Was There From Friday To Monday.
    
        But Enough Talk, When I Reach Towards My Paternal Familys Base I Saw My Grand Aunt And We Talked For  awhile. I Asked Her "What You Doing Today For Christmas", She Said "Nothing".  My Heart Felt Like It Drop In A Well, Then My Cousin Came To The Aid And Said He Was Going To A Party And I Was Like Oh Hell Yeah. So I Told My Father's Cousin And She Allowed Me To Go But I Had To Be Back At 11:00 Pm And It Was 7:30Pm (In My Head I Waas Like Kiss My A** , I Wouldn't Dare To Do It As She Is My Father's Cousin Which Gives Her Permission To Do The Lixs!) Since I Was Such An Obedient Child I Decide Not Too Say Anything. 
      So We Started Off Going To A Tiny Party, I Was Satisfied Because I Was Just "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" But I Wasn't Dancing"

Thank You...And God Bless!
