Careers

The two careers that i would choose would be an auto mechanic or a game developer.   

Why do  you like these careers?
I like the sound of being a mechanic because it runs in my family but if it doesn't work out i would at least like to have the experience, having the mechanic experience would be good because if your car breaks down u will b able to fix it. With being a game developer i like playing videogames its my hobby and i play them everyday. 
What education would you need to have this career?
As far as education goes to be a mechanic u only technically need grade 10 math to me a basic mechanic. It would probably benefit me to take a course on it. With game developing you would need experience with computers and building softwares like photoshop and other game developing softwares.   
What school offer the programs? min of 10 school
Auto Mechanic:
LSS
Walnut Grove?
Norkam Secondary in kamloops
as well as south secondary in kamloops
Game Developer:
any schools could do gamme developing you would just have to request them to make that course and get enough people to wanna take that course.

What is the difference between a career and a Job?
A career is life long work and a job is just a short time thing to make money. 
Who hires people in your field?
Other mechanics, and for game developing any game companies
Why is your career important?
The mechanic career is important because you fix or repair peoples cars and check to make sure that they are running fine and its important because people scars cant function without them being in decent condition. and game developing is important because all gamers would know that you gotta have a little bit of leisure. 
Is there a need in your career?
It all depends on how fast robots take over because a mechanic won't be needed after machines and robots are made to take over the human jobs. The same thing applied to game development. 
How much would you get paid?
If your a good mechanic you can get paid roughly about 21/h  but if your a super good mechanic you can get paid 27/h But game developing depends on what company you work for, and how good the game is.  
What would you buy the 1st chance you had? why?
A car, because i love the thought of having more than one car because i could have one as a beater and one i use all the time. 
Calculate your total monthly living cost? would your career be able to live the life style you would like?
Without doing any calculations i thing that i would be able to work and pay for all my living costs and still be able to not complain and have time for leisure and other side things. 

Movie Switch Up

For my Movie switch up i chose to do a change up of spider-man because no one liked Toby Maguire or however you spell his last name. I know me personally i didn't like him. I changed him into two different people haha. As stupid as it sounds it would be a much better movie. I changed the red spider-man into Morgan Free-man and the black spider-man into Phil Lewis. It would be funny but kind of scary knowing that a man that was charged with manslaughter in a super hero movie, and everyone loves Morgan Freeman.

3D Printing Logos

For my 3D printing project i decided to do the black ops 3 logo and the AquaMan logo but the aqua man logo didn't turn out very good.

My Black Ops 3 logo turned out really well aside from the ring, it was a little small but it still fits on the keychain. I would say it turned out really well.

3d printers can be used in science by making organs for people that need them and it benefits people that have been in car crashes etc.           

Check with Mr. Sheppard which ones would work. You will have to find a vector or line drawing of the symbol that you would want. After confirming find the symbol.

My House in Sketch Up + Pool

Im not very good in sketch up but i kinda tried.

 My houses roof was way to hard to make so i just left it flat.

Sketch up: My room

In sketch up we have to make a room in our house. I chose to do my room because it's the easiest to do, because i'm in that room every day. I tried to recreate it best i could and it looks pretty much the same except my floor is carpet but i made it hardwood with the rug.

Instead of paintings i did two posters which i actually have, except i have a snake eyes poster and a eminem poster. They wouldn't connect to my wall so they are just floating but they look like they are on my wall. 

The couch i have in my room is a little bit bigger but its leather and has the coffee table at the foot, i added that rug because it looks cool.

My stand for my tv looks a little bit different but the ps4 i have and tv, and no i don't watch a bugatti on tv all day. 

My dresser and lamp with a book. and my window, with a white trim on it.

My bed looks kinda like that, just it doesn't look rectangular like that.. it has more shape to it. 

My room overall looks the same like i said aside from the hardwood floor, i wish my room was hardwood because i hate having to vacuum it every 3 days because someone tracks dirt in it like every other day. 

Planet base Last Day

Alright so let me start by saying, this time went a lot better than my last years PlanetBase Project. I had a very easy base to run, nobody died on the first two days. Then Yesterday rolled around and everyone just died. I don't know why. Maybe they decided to just stop trying at life and just killed themselves. If they did, screw them because i wanted to still run that base. I kind of cheated in a way though. Because after everyone died i just reloaded my save to see if I could turn that problem around but as u can see..........

Im at two damn colonists. They just up and died, AGAIN. I really don't think you can beat this game. THERE'S NO END TO THIS GAME!!!!! Don't get me wrong I did kind of enjoy playing it this run through. The only bad thing that necessarily happened was my colonist died of like no oxygen, i was making food  no problem but then things turned around and were not in my favour anymore. 

This time i decided to go with two mines.

That went really well because your getting two times the resources and if you but the driller bot from the trading ships its really really good, you will get 2-4 minerals a minute. Now I only had one driller bot, so just imagine that. Two bots and one in each mine, that's money right there.

But when you get more than one mine you are gonna need more workers and more metal processors. I only had one so i wasn't making that much metal, i should have been tho so i could build more.

Had to get that sick angle, the bio dome is pretty key because that's were you grow all your food/medical plants. If i had to rate this game on a scale of 1-10 i would give it a 7. It really gets the blood boiling sometimes because of the stupid colonists, They will just leave there work when its almost done and it just makes me so mad sometimes. 

  

  

Planet Base Day 4

Today My plan is to start making more rooms that I already have because colonist just keep rolling in and taking everything. I also figured out how the food was made, when you place down the food vending machines colonists will take the vegetables and meat to it and it makes the meals. I thought u had to make the table in the lab and they would make the meals. I also found a post on steam of someone with a list of all the meal recipes.

There's the link if you want to check it out he also has a bunch more posts about planetbase to help you out.

My base is starting to grow again considering i had to start almost at the beginning again. I didn't have much time to take a screenshot but as you can see i am still doing pretty good.

Planet base Day 3

Today my goal was to get the telescope and Laser gun. I did it. I also have a very successful base i build a butload of buildings today.

PlanetBase Day 1

Today i played the tutorial and it went very well. I played the real stuff and everyone died. I played again and so far i am doing really good, better than last year.

The game plays very well, the only thing I would change would be the rotating of the camera. The graphics are very good as well. 

PlanetBase Game Review

Planet Base

Planet Base is a strategy game were you are on mars and you try to start a successful life on mars or the planet you’re on. If you don’t play it right all your people will just die. And if you last long enough you will end up getting a ship pad and a ship will come occasionally. With that ship you can trade goods and get better robots and people. You can build many different types of buildings such as: a cafeteria, bunk (sleeping area), mine, and solar panels, wind turbines, med bays, and power storages. It relates to the mars project how there is no returning, the game is just endless. The game looks like it could be a really fun game but it would get really annoying if your people all just died and you had to restart. I believe the game has some potential and could be a game I would play on my own time if I was bored.

P.S: Why u do dis, why do I have to go through this hell again. 

The Martian Movie Review

The Martian is a movie about an astronaut, Mark Watney (Matt Daemon, also stars in Elysium). He is sent out to mars to see if it is possible to live on mars. When one night a sandstorm (very unlikely because mars has no atmosphere) comes up and they all are evacuating mars but while in the struggle Mark gets hit will a piece of debris and the team loses connection to his radio. He then has to survive on the planet and has to ration his food to last I think it was about 100 days. He then decides that won't work so he starts to grow his own potatoes. Then the potatoes grow and he can eat them and regrow. He says "They say once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it, so technically, I colonized mars. In your face Neil Armstrong!" And if you don’t know who Neil Armstrong is, you’re pretty dumb. He was the first man on the moon. He also has a quote. "One small step for man, one giant step for mankind." Which is a stupid quote I find, but I shouldn't say that to anyone. If I was on mars by myself I would go crazy because I couldn’t talk to someone or hear someone else’s voice. I couldn’t live with myself, but Matt Daemon the trooper and stud that he is somehow pulled through. Mark Whatney finds a way to communicate with NASA and leaves a message for the rover that he dug up. Now I have seen this movie in the past but its such a good movie I could watch it multiple times and not get bored. The movie first caught my attention when it was first released because its about a guy going to mars, and I don’t mean to make this sound cheesy but every kid has that urge to want to walk on a different planet. I know if I was given the chance to go to space I would but only if I could come back and be with my family again. And if I wasn’t by myself the whole time. I think it would also be really boring but I’m sure they would have you working all the time doing work like finding a way to live on that planet that would be really cool if you could live on a different planet such as mars or the moon. It would also be really cool to be the guy that survived on mars, if I had that name I would cherish it and if I see a random person in public be like hey I was on mars, just kidding. That would probably be the biggest jerk move. From watching The Martian again I would give it a 9/10 

Astronaut Requirements

Resiliency:

I have really good resiliency because I can remain productive, most of the time. I am also my best or try to when I’m at my worst. I also trust relatively everyone until they do something to me to make me not trust them. And I always have a can do attitude.

Adaptability:

I can adapt to most situations when I don’t really understand the situation. I also know my boundaries and when to extend them.  I am always open to new ideas and different perspectives. I don’t understand some different cultures but I’m sure that I can adapt to some new cultures.

Curiosity:

My curiosity is through the roof especially when I’m learning about new stuff and stuff like space because I find that stuff so interesting. I also love learning about new stuff to do with space. I ask questions when not clear and if I don’t understand. If I know something someone else doesn’t I will clarify what they want to know not to brag about what I know and they don’t.

Ability to Trust:

My ability to trust is really good because I can trust pretty much everyone and myself. My trust is mostly in people that I know will do a good job. I also look back on things that give done that are similar and trust that I will do a good job.

Creativity/Resourcefulness:

I will know when a problem will occur and then adapt to that problem and fix it. I can be very humorous but only when necessary, and will use it when needed not when wanted. I also have a good spirit in playfulness because I’m used to it because I have a younger sister and have to entertain her almost all the time. I am also aware of different kind of creativity.

Medical and Physical Requirements:

I am free from drug use or relying on drugs or alcohol. I have normal functioning of all my joints and bones. My eyes are also 20/20 and don’t require glasses or contacts. Im free of psychiatric disorders because im not skitsafrenic  or anything. My blood pressure last time I checked is fine and dosnt exceed 140/90. And the only thing that I don’t succeed is the height expected.

Country of Origin & Language:

Since English is the required language I exceed that but if I had to learn a different language I would not pass but to do the interview you only need a English level of A2 wish is elementary. 

Fitness Testing:

The curl ups I can do 24 of them. Trunk lift? I don’t know what that is but I’m sure I could do it. 18 push ups should be really easy but I would need to work out a little bit before I do this. I can do 12 pull ups no problem. Flexed arm hang for 15 seconds sounds pretty easy but I have never seen this done before. The sit and reach whenever I try that I could never get over like 6 or something like that so I would fail that one. With the running I can run the same as an average person and I’m sure I can reach the expectation.

Dangers:

The dangers of going to space are limitless. I am aware that once you are there, there’s no coming back. There is also the danger of maybe this plan not working but never seeing my family again would be hard but the people that you are going with are your family now.

What will fashion look like in 100 years

I predict that fashion will become very weird in the next few years. At one moment people will be wearing cloths then next thing you know the latest fashion will be no clothes. That would very weird but kinda funny to see. Some people might still be wearing the same things as today. Some people might be wearing spandex. You really cant predict this day and age. I believe that the world is gonna be threatened by aliens and they are gonna bomb us with nuclear weapons and bombs. So then everyone will have to wear hazmat suits. I realize that sounds ridiculous but I came to believe that that is true. But the fashion would consist of different looking suits. So that everyone Isn't dressing the same. Some people could wear regular clothes over their suits as well. Some people could have different color suits. You really cant predict what might happen.
 

Highlights Of My Spring Break

During my spring break I went to kamloops to visit my grandparents, it was pretty boring because there really wasn't much to do. We went to a lake and the water was pretty warm. I was expecting it to be super cold but it was warm. There was a drop off and right under it the water was deep so you could jump off it. Which I did because who wouldn't. It gives you such an adrenaline rush. That was really the only cool thing that happened this break. I also made two YouTube videos and played my PS4 the whole time.

Comic Strip

Story

So in my digital arts and media class we have to write a 600-1000 word story and I’m not a very good story writer. I don’t know a lot about writing or anything like that so I sit here and will probably just try to wing it. As I sit here and think about what to write about I look around the class and just try to think of anything, anything that comes to mind when I think about the word “Story”. The only thing that comes to mind when I personally think of the word “Story” Is superheroes and villains. The kind of story’s were the guy wants to be a hero and then just out of nowhere he gets an offer to “improve” his life but tells him that it will put everyone he loves in danger but he says that once he’s a hero he will be able to protect them. But in all seriousness we all know that’s Bull, and then he has to fight the super cool and awesome looking villain that is like 5X bigger then him and still wins. I find that so weird. But In the end he gets the girl that is unharmed. But I guess that’s how they make everyone feel happy for the hero in the end. Although I never really do even though I absolutely love superheroes. My favorite hero doesn’t have any powers but he knows his way around weapons. He goes by the name The Punisher and Thomas Jane just nailed the acting for The Punisher. I really enjoy watching movies except I never really watch them very often and I don’t really know how that works. I’m more of a gamer mainly because I’m good at them. I’m mainly good at first person shooters and I hope that one day I will be able to work with the people that create them but I think I would much rather be a mechanic. I also really like cars because really who doesn’t. My dream car would probably have to be the 99 Toyota Supra rz. The reason I started liking that car was because of the first Fast and Furious. That would have to be my favorite series of movies since the batman series. Now that I’m on the topic of batman I can’t wait for the new Batman .VS. Superman movie it looks bomb and I’m going to go see it as soon as it comes out and I get the chance. I don’t like Superman as much as I like Batman even though Superman would destroy Batman especially the Christian Bale Batman, no one liked him. Well I didn’t at least.

Anyways I bet this feels really boring reading about me and all the stuff that I like and would like to have or be so to start this story off its going to be about a kid named Kaeden and now see Kaeden Is a good kid never did drugs or drank alcohol or went to any party’s. He was a straight A student. But something changed one day on his walk home from school, he was walking to his friend’s house to play some video games.

At around 5 Kaeden decided to go home for dinner. When he was walking he was already late getting home so he decided to take the fast way, but he never took this way because the fast way involves going through the back side of the school but that’s were all the “cool” kids hung out and I think everyone will know what I mean when I say “cool” kids. The group that hang out late after school and smoke weed and party every weekend. But he thought that if he put up his hood and walked by all casually they wouldn’t notice. I think he underestimated it and of course they notice and called him over.

Now Kaeden is in no shape or form to defend himself from these 6 guys that were standing there. He knew he wasn’t going to make it to the catwalk that would take him right to his house was a little run ahead of him. But he knew if he didn’t try he was going to get peer pressured into doing the drugs or into something worse. So he turned and looked at the group of guys standing there and looked back at the catwalk. He knew he was faster than the 2 bigger guys but Kaeden made up his mind because out of the corner of his eye he saw the two bigger guys start walking towards him. He started at a full sprint for the catwalk. The only problem was Kaeden was not actively fit to run very long but he knew if he didn’t try something bad was going to happen. He got to the entrance to the catwalk and felt his hood get pulled back and before Kaeden knew it he was on the ground. The biggest guy just towered over him. He asked at almost a yell “Why you runnin?” At this point Kaeden was almost crying. Then Kaeden felt a pinch on his arm suddenly he woke up and looked around and realized he fell asleep in class. A straight A student falling asleep in class hard to believe right….?

Road Trip Blogs

Day 1.
We woke up at 9:30. For Breakfast we Had some McDonalds and hit the road at 12:30. We drove through Washington and stopped in Oregon for a dinner at a place called Beck. Then we stayed at a motel called Motel 6. It only cost $85 and you get free coffee.

Day 2.
We got up at around 10 and had our breakfast. We hung out for a bit and at around 12 we left the motel and drove for about 7 hours till we got to Wyoming. We stopped for dinner at a Wendys. 2 of us stayed up and drove and the other 2 slept and we switched that way we got the most driving time in.


Day 3.
Today I woke up at 11 which was really late for me but its understandable considering we drove till 3 then switched. I skipped breakfast today and just waited till 1 to have lunch. For lunch i made a peanut butter sandwich which was delicious. We ended up in South Dakota and it was Beautiful. We seen mount Rushmore it was so cool. For dinner we ate at Desperados Cowboy Restaurant, the food was really good.

Day 4.
We all woke up at relatively the same time around 9. We had a breakfast of pancakes and fruit. Pancakes are my favorite. Today we traveled for about 2 hours to get to Nebraska. We seen the rocks that look like a jailhouse and Bridgeport, I thought it was really cool and since it was a really nice outside we decided to camp and set up our tents.

    
Day 5.
Today we woke up to rain and it was so bad because it was super nice the day before but we had to pack up all our stuff and head back on the road. We skipped breakfast because we couldn't get a fire started in the rain. We once again traveled for roughly 3 hours till we reached Missouri. As soon as we seen a McDonalds we stopped because we were all starving. We also stopped at the first motel because we were exhausted and our backs hurt from sleeping on the ground the night before.
Day 6.
We woke up and because we didn't see much yesterday we decided to stay there for the day. We started off by seeing the steal arc, and its the coolest thing I have ever seen.
 
And as we headed back towards the motel we seen this.....



I thought it was pretty sweet because its totally like a Hollywood Set up but its not in Hollywood.
Day 7.
As soon as we all got up we were on the road again. We traveled to Arkansas. When we got there it defiantly was not what I expected. All of their attractions were forested and it was amazing.



This place was so cool because it was like a cave and I have never been in a cave before.

The Bridge made out of only wood was really cool to because u never get to see a bridge made out of complete wood. After we visited the wood bridge we went to the motel we booked and went to bed at 11.
Day 8.
We woke up and were on our way to Mississippi after a breakfast of eggs and toast. It surprisingly only took about 3 hours to get there so we were in Mississippi by 4. We had dinner once again fast food.  We didn't have much time to see anything so we just stayed at a motel again.
Day 9.
We woke up and scouted for some cool attractions to visit. And just our luck we find an awesome looking water slide place and we all forgot shorts. But we brought money for a reason so we all went and bought shorts at the nearest wall-mart.




We stayed at that water park for like 5 hours, right after we were so exhausted so we stayed at the same motel.
Day 10.
We are so close to our destination! We were all so exited to get to Orlando so we went straight past Alabama to Georgia, believe me when i say we traveled literally all day. The only time we stopped was for bathroom breaks and to stop and eat. we found the nearest  motel and when i looked at the clock it said 2:30am. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.

Day 11.
The first place we visited in Georgia was Bellwood Quary and if you are a walking dead fan like I am this place will look very familiar.



I was so surprised because i didn't notice it at first. I thought that this was sooooooooo cool. We had lunch really late around 3:00. But it was good because we had Hot-Dogs. We left around 5:00 and headed back to the motel. We arived back at 7:00 and went to bed early.
Day 12.
We were all so eager to leave and get to Orlando we left almost right away. We didn't evan stop. As soon as we got to Orlando we had to sleep because we woke up so early. But we agreed as soon as we woke up we would explore.
Day 13.
WE FINALLY MADE IT!! We got up and the first place we visited was Lego Land because who dosn't like lego right? We yet again visited another awesome water park. It was probably a bad idea because we were so exhausted so we agreed to end the journey at that, and headed back to the motel to sleep and then in the morning take a flight back to Canada.
