Feeling in the blogging mood after being away for a few weeks. =)
This blog was originally intended for my Comp class, so I figure I'll continue adding things in relevation with English.
All throughout grade school teachers express the importance of correct grammer, spelling, punctuation, and all those other important concepts that go along with that. While a lot of these subjects might seem rather boring I cannot stress how important they really are. We read, write, and speak everyday of our lives. With it being done so frequently it's only right that we learn the basics concepts!....right?
Nowadays everything is abbreviated (ex. LOL, JK, LMFAO, BRB) and as if thats not enough, new words are being created everyday, with some sounding so bizzarre people actually question whether it is a word or not. (ex. Dougie, Swag, Fresh..seriously people?...what does this mumbo jumbo even mean!?)
I felt a need to blog about this after checking my Facebook. The things some people put as their status's are so confusing; to the point where I'm not sure whether it's English, or a foriegn language made up by some illiterate "new age" people.
Either way, what I'm trying to get across is... reading, writing, and speaking should be continued as it was before; before the corruption of abbreviations or any new fangled words. Before you could make some type of a grunting noise to state a whole sentence, before rappers came out with crazy nonsense words just to rhyme. Basically before everyone was brain washed!
Now.... a random funny to express the importance of capitaliztion!
Capitalization, the difference between= helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Possibly the FINAL BLOG!!!!!!!!!! WOO!
With the quest finally ending I couldn't jump any higher with joy!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like it was lurking over me, guilting me, basically bringing the man down so to speak. Fast food is a part of my life. As sad as that might be I've come to find I end up starving if I don't consume it.
Another big realization I've had is the amount of fast food everyone I know consumes. Friends, family, EVERYONE eats fast food alllllllllll the time! Not being able to eat it makes your brain end up counting the number of times throughout the week you've had to reject it, as if that makes you feel like in some way you yourself have eaten it. Sounds crazy...yes..but so true. Or there's the just as crazy; if you see someone else eat it, it's just the same as if it were you.
While I had my up's and down's with this quest I have learned so much. All different things about fastfood and its history, the effects it has, the way it's advertised, the latest "hot" menu items; just SO much. Overall looking past all the things such as simple facts and at the bigger picture I've learned life is about taking risks. If there is something that you wish to accomplish you should just go for it. It doesn't matter what it is, or how insane it may sound to others as long as you are getting something out of it. Mistakes will be made but that is how you learn to succeed. As long as you have will power and passion you can accomplish anything to the best of your ability.
Last but not least......
I HATE BLOGGING!...I know how funny, a blog about hating blogging, but that's how I feel. I always thought bloggers had the coolest easiest job but I've realized that it is really just one big pain in the butt! I guess this also goes along with trying new things. I tryed blogging along with my quest, and realized neither one was really for me!
Aahh...the things you learn from trying new things.

The END!!!..and A New Beginning?
So, with it being November 1st and all this officially marks the end of my quest. The end seemed like it would never come! I started way ahead of time so I believe I've been trying to be fast food free for the past two months..possibly?...idk! =)
I havent blogged in forever so let me get you up to date about this past week. It seems I've lost my mind. Will power went out the door. The week within itself wasn't so horrible.. (Wendy's on Tuesday..) but the weekend was where I had my complete and utter downfall. I believe I consumed fast food not one, but all three days of the weekend. Talk about feeling like a failure. I know during this whole thing the only slip up I could think of was a carmel sunday..(totally NOT my fault!..stated in a previous blog) but now I can add chicken nuggets and french fries to this.
I only had one week left, and I blew it. Completely. When I reflect on this it is sad to think that giving up something as simple as fast food was so difficult. It also made me think of many other things that I would like to at least try. Even if i fail. =) Doing this quest has helped me realize; it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail miserabley, as long as you are trying something new.
With that being said, I've decided to take up two more quests with the ending of this one. I'm going to quit smoking and start a diet! On to something NEW!
