Film Review

Last class we watched a video called "Go Further" in this movie Woody Harrellson often refered to as Woody Allen by his close friend biked along the west coast for over 15000 miles to raise awhareness on how to live a healthier life while treating the enviroment with respect at the same time. I really liked the video i thought it was really interesting and funny at the same time Woody's friend who is a self proclaimed "junk food addict" just seems to be tagging along for the nice views as they bike down the shore. One of my favorite parts was when after finishing up a talk about how to treat your body better and buy products from local farmers instead of coorporations Woody's friend is shown smoking a Marbolo cigarete, and takes a verbal beating from anyone on the tour that saw him.
I liked wathing this movie and watching how many different characters dealed with the different situations that came along on the trip. One of the older guys on the trip took a pretty nasty fall about halfway through the trip and needed to go to the hospital. They cleaned him up he recieved a few stiches and the next day he was on his bike. He was only able to bend one knee but apparently that was enough for him so he rode on only peddeling with one leg.

History of a name

There is somewhat of a funny interesting story I am named after my great grandfather on my mom’s side of the family. He was my mom’s only living grandparent and they called him grandpa Teddy shot for Thomas. My mom wanted to name me after him but also liked the name Sam so there was a compromise and I was named Samuel Thomas. When she told her mom, my grandma asked why she chose the first name Samuel because my mom was not a where that Grandpa Teddy's middle name was Thomas and his first name was in fact Samuel. So by complete coincidence I was named after my great grandpa with his first and middle name. That is the story behind my name and how it came to be.

Research & Concerns

During the library session I learned a few things since i have never been in the library before besides cutting threw the basement on cold days. I learned just about everything I will need to know to find everything for my paper. I learned how to do simple things like look up book on the computer which i had no idea how to do before the visit. But he most important thing that I think that i learned would have to be the database's on the website, becouse during previouse research in highschool these were my main source of information, and im glad that there are so many database's.
There still are some concerns that I have about writing this paper but its not so much about the paper itself. My paper is about the begining of snowboarding and how it all began, I kind of think of it as a "Lords of Dogtown" for snowboarding. My only concers are about what is going to go in the paper and how I am going to orgonize it in order from past to present while at the same time fitting all of the different aspects of the paper in. Since there are so many different thing and topics I could write about but I want it to be easily understood from what happened in the begging to what is happening now.
