Well, here i am two weeks after the surgery and i am beginning to be able to put pressure on my knee again. It still hurts don’t get me wrong but i can stand on it now. Everyone in my life has been very supportive. I appreciate what everyone has done for me. I can’t tell you how sick I am of sitting in the apartment playing video games. I have watched more bad movies than anyone could possibly have dared to watch. Well that is all for today, I am about to watch a few more bad movies.

After playing around with the Fractured Fairie Tales website it got to be very consuming. This is a cite that would prove to be very beneficial for students who are having creativity problems. We all know that almost every story has been told in some way or another it’s just a matter of changing a few ideas about the main plot that make something more entertaining to our environment. This cite made it easy to navigate and come up with some simple solutions to make a new fairytale enjoyable to a new audience. I would suggest it to other people to give it a try.

There is more about copyrighting than I ever imagined.  The way a copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author is unbelievable.  Educational facilities get some ability to bend the rules if using such a thing for educational use.  The more you use is also very important because you can only use about 10% of something before you can be called on infringement.

One of the few things I know about copyrighting is that anything that is used from another book, website, and or movie they must be cited. MLA and APA i believe are the 2 versions of how something is supposed to be cited. Inside your work it’s purpose is to give credit to the people that have done the original work.

One thing I wonder about is how everyone is so money hungry that everything that is put down on something that they deserve the credit for such a thing. How many idea’s are brought up that people without the money our resource for such a process to protect there idea have been stolen, henceforth the process of copyrighting seems irrelevant. Yes I understand some people have put in a lot of hard work to come up with an idea that can make a lot of money but seriously does it honestly need to last for 70 years after the person has passed away too.
