Out On Mill Ave


        I know. Those of you that have heard of Mill Avenue know. Mill has a bad reputation being the center of the party/club life for twenty-one-years in the state of Arizona. But there is more to do then that. I am not saying that it is a place to stroll a baby around, but this place is full of hidden wonders. Restaurants that serve off beat food and stores that sell eclectic items are what I enjoy out there, not to mention the verity of people.
         Trying to be reasonable with the price of gas my friends and I use the light rail to go all the way down to Mill Ave. Where we normally walk straight to our favorite pizza joint, Slices.
Supplying us with odd pizzas that include: buffalo wings, jalapeno, or my favorite the potato-bacon pizza.   This little pizza place is tucked into a little street just past Hippie Gypsy and Urban Outfitters. But is know for a good reason; their pizzas are amazing. I have definitely in the past (and even now) think it is well worth it to drive down there just to satisfy the craving of this odd, but delicious pizza. As for places to shop, it is best to wander about. I find Urban Outfitters as one of my favorites but there are so many small shops that have items that you will probably never find in an average store.  One thing that is nice about this place is, because there are clubs and similar stuff like that the metro train usually stays open longer and weekends allowing the stores and restaurants to do the same. So maybe if you ever feel like trying something new, something unusual come on down to Mill ave.

Assigned Entry #1

Something old. Something new.

To me blogs are something of the past that exhibit new information. Though they may come in handy for cooking and quick,  information that does not require a video. Which is great when one's computer may not be compatible with videos or even when one is looking for information in a situation where audio is disproved of. As of writing personal blogs I feel as if it has all been done before. Just like how it is depicted in this cartoon.
My favorite blogs would have to be the food related ones because not only are there usually pictures showing these scrumptious pieces of work, there is also detailed instruction and background stories to go with them. Here is one that I found particularly good. 
This professional blogger, blogs about family recipes in the hope to keep them in a sense immortal. Persevering them in the web where not only her own kin can access them but also sharing the kindness to the world.

  Then there is the the corporate one.
The one that not many like to read. The campaign for it is a bit out dated, but because there is a lingering few that have not fully converted to social media sites companies still feel obligated to keep one in running.

And worst yet, is the extreme personal one. Much like a reality tv show one is looking into the life of an individual. Their food, there activities and there everyday life. At least with a blog usually there is better camera work when compared to reality tv. for example...http://octopuscrumpet.tumblr.com/page/2

Despite having said that the best characteristic of a blog and style in my opinion is an informational personal blog. Mixing both substance and personality into one.

Greetings World

I have once said that I was built by those who are insanely nerdy- which is true. Even my friends walk with me down the same road of insanity. Our obsessions with movies, books and foreign media is some of the binding that keeps us together. But that is just the start. There is a whole world- or in this case, Arizona full of interesting places and activities (on accusation) to do. Some I admit are a bit main stream but others are only somewhat know. Thankfully, these places and activities help relax from all the pressures of school, work and family. The importance of this is critical in not only yourself but also in society. Imagine a world where people can get a chance to relax, distress and in turn become (hopefully) more patient and tolerant.
I am currently going to GCC to achieve an education in Ancient World History. I chose this degree to one day become a teacher of it. Though I love mythology more then the civilizations themselves that practice it, this is just one stepping stone that I am taking to gain knowledge in a plethora of subjects. Including not only mythology but also psychology and world religion. There was a time, however that I majored in computer science. Though mechanically,  I found the subject extremely intriguing, program wise I found it unforgettably frustrating; causing the shift in the major. The world was what I wanted, the ancient one. Though lower salary is a possibility, a higher personal moral and rewarding sensibility was present.  This is me, Madison and I would like to say welcome- welcome to taking life one step at a time.
