Week 8 Reading and Writing

How excited I am when I get to work on Indian Epics homework (source)

Howdy folks! NitroDubbz here today with some reflection and introspection.

I like my blog and website layout. They're very simple, but I like minimalism and simplicity. You should see my room, I have like three things in it. My reading notes help me quite a bit with my writing, not because I revisit them, but because the act of note-taking forces me to organize my thoughts and stop to process over the information I've read. So far my favorite story has been the Ramayana. I thoroughly enjoyed it throughout. The Mahabharata was a total bore-fest for the first half. At least I thought it was because it was very confusing having so many characters introduced so quickly.


This is my favorite image so far. It's a screenshot of the character Woods from Call of Duty Black Ops, which is one of my favorite games. I was basically picturing Alex from the Art Girl Rescue saga as Woods the entire time I was writing. I also thought the caption I put was funny because of how stupid it was.

Looking forward I hope to improve my writing in general. People have been giving me a lot of good feedback (especially Mz. Gibbs) and I enjoy getting practice writing and having the creative freedom to be as silly or bizarre as I want with my writing, at least while still adhering to a basic premise. 

Well, that's all for today folks. Until next time, I'm NitroDubbz.

Introduction for NitroDubbz

image source Hello everyone. I am Nitrodubbz, the computer engineering student. You may know me from my other blog posts, such as: "my favorite place". The coolest thing about my major is how it makes companies want to hire me. Ideally if one of these companies wanted to pay me in exchange for my brainpower and hours of my life, I would just invest almost all of my income into real-estate and collect rent to supplement my income. Hopefully I move somewhere where housing is cheap, and the Federal Reserve's interest rates stay low.  I guess I'll talk about books now. I recently re-read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It is a pretty good book. The book is absurdist, filled with contradictions now known as Catch-22's, a term coined by the novel. These contradictions exist within the well-defined rules and command structure of the USAAF, the predecessor to the Air Force of today. The point being to highlight the weaknesses of a rigid military system, and to contr...

Week 7 Story: Art Girl Rescue Part 3

Image
"Save me, Alex!" (source) After dispatching the patrols sent on his tail, Alex made his way back towards the outskirts of the village, to the compound of Samu Al-Hayeed. Moving under the cover of darkness, Alex dispatched guards and patrols using nothing but his combat knife.  Finally, Alex reached the perimeter of Samu's compound. The sandy flats surrounding the high wall of the compound were illuminated by blinding floodlights. Machine-gun emplacements flanked the front gate, and the wall was topped by barbed wire. But Alex knew that defenses are only as strong as their weakest link. He circled the compound, staying just out of the range of the floodlights, until he came to the utility pole that supplied the compound with all of its electricity. Alex reached into his rucksack and produced a satchel charge with a timer, the last of his explosives. He climbed to the top of the utility pole and set the charge, he then made his way back outside the entrance of th...
