The incarnation of John Carpenter’s 1978 horror film “Halloween” is re-done by Rob Zombie. Zombie takes the 1978 film and does what most incarnated films have trouble doing, building from the original. Zombie portrayed Michael Myers as a new age serial killer. This film was brilliant, the plot hardly changed between the original and new version, yet the new era of film making enhanced Halloween even more.
Michael Myers in the film is portrayed as a young boy who went through a tough, yet very abnormal childhood. His mom was a stripper who hardly had a care in the world for him, his sister was a teenage slut who wanted nothing to do with him, and his mom’s boy friend was a sadistic son of a bitch who bullied and beat him. Michael only had one care in that family and that was for his little infant sister. He was far from being the perfect kid living in such a harsh environment like that one. He practically drove himself to become the psycho killer he later turns into. He goes through a rough childhood and doesn’t learn how to handle his anger or frustrations. Instead of communicating with others to solve his problems he would go out into the woods behind his house and trap wild animals then perform sadistic acts of harm against them. The principle of his elementary school finds mutilated animal pictures in his book bag and decided to have him meet with a psychologist. But after that meeting all hell broke loose, he went on a killing spree in his own home and killed his mother’s boy friend, his sister, and her boy friend. He is convicted to living in a mental institution for 30 years. But he escapes from the mental home after 17 long years of suffering. He was committed when he was only10 years old. Now he is a very dangerous 27-year-old man. He returns to his home in search of the one person in the world he has ever cared about, his younger sister. He will stop at nothing to find her and who ever gets in his way along his search will be slaughtered.

(Week 5) random "Pledging"

This week was the first official week that pledge-ship started. I am a legacy at (∑AE) Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and part of being a legacy has its good parts and then it has its bad parts. Whats good about being a legacy is that I know a lot of the brother of the house that live in because i have visited the fraternity previous to this year when my brother attended Ball State University. So other than getting to know most of the brothers prior to Rush week i already had an automatic bid. If you don't know what a bid is, its basically a certificate that the brothers hand out to the guys that they want to pledge at their fraternity. In order to get a bid you have to go to the Rush events and really get to know and understand the meaning of the fraternity.
The down part to being a legacy is that you are more likely to get messed with because the brothers know you more than any of the other pledges. That's why its important to suck up as much as you can during pledge-ship even if you cant stand the brother just because it will make your life so much easier.
So as the first week of pledge-ship is nearing the end we will find out what greek family we are in tonight as well as who will be our big brother. Not every brother gets a "little" mainly becasue not every brother is a good influence. The pledge trainers try to pick a big bro for you that you will get along with and share the same common interests with. Tomorrow we will have our pinning ceremony and our parents will come to watch that. Im excited for the ceremony mainly becasue i haven't seen my mom or dad in over 5 weeks and would like to hear from them. I'm excited for the next 7 weeks of pledge -ship to go by so my fellow pledge brothers and i can become a part of the fraturnity and start networking with other associations and sorority's.

blog 3 intro . . .

The captains from both Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers jog out to the center of the football field; all eyes are on them for the next few moments. The two captains exchange words and then shake hands. The referee explains the coin toss as each of them stare dead into each other’s eyes showing no sense of fear, while deep down each of them are frantic and nervous hoping that they will win the toss. The coin is flicked and flips through the air in slow motion. The captain’s minds are racing with thoughts as these few moments move in slow motion. The stadium is so loud that they can hardly hear themselves think. The rivalry and Mudsock trophy are now in the hands of these two teams.

Bad Luck

So this week started off pretty good, all my classes were going well and same for my room mate. Then on Wednesday my room mate and I were selecting our players for our fantasy football league, thats when everything went downhill. My room mate Luke tripped over his shoes in the dorm and and went to brace his fall on the top of his desk. It was like a domino affect going in slow motion. First he tripped then he went diving onto his desk then he knocked over a waterbottle that was sitting next to his brand new Mac Book Pro. thats when it happened the bottle didnt have a cap on it and therefore spilled all over the keyboard of his Mac. As Luke lied on the ground from the major spill i ran over to the desk and flipped his computer over in an attempt to salvage the Mac. It turned back on for about 10 min. Then it shut down and wouldn't turn back on. He was so pissed becasue the only reason he got a job this past summer was to pay for his computer. We unscrewed the back so we could access the motherboard and set it on top of my fan for the week. The Mac store sayed that if there is water damage they can't fix it so Luke just told them that his computer wouldn't turn on so he sent it in to the Mac store hopefully to get it fixed. Maybe next week he will have better luck.

background/ intrest

For those of you that don't no me yet, my name is Jeff Haneline. Im a freshman like the majority of you guys, I grew up in Fishers, Indiana and graduated from Hamilton Southeastern high school. I lived in Fishers for 18 years and I've been waiting for college to come for so long. I enjoy hanging with friends golfing, and playing beach volleyball. I played on our schools golf team for 3 years, and this past year we won state. My friends mean a lot to me and I was nervous about meeting new people in college. Thats the thing about college, there is so many different types of people that you just have to be open to meeting everyone. If you go into college being close minded then you probably wont take anything from it but on the other hand if you are open minded to everyone around you, you can create tons of friendships. I was afraid to make new friends in college because I thought that I would leave behind the old ones. But one of my professors told me something that I wont ever forget. He said, " the friends you make in college are the friends you have forever."
