Go Further
I thought the DVD Go Further was a true eye-opener. I really have never thought much about many of the topics the movie covered. In the beginning when Woody Harelson gave the facts about milk it really got me to start thinking. For example I have been to the cafeteria several times since i viewed the film and I have started to drink soy milk , and cut back on meats. I can't say that i love the taste of it, but it's something to get used to. I bet I have told half a dozen people about the milk part. I also really enjoyed the filming style, it gave off a documentary feel as if you were part of their journey. I wish that every young adolescent could watch this movie. If we can stop many of the problems mentioned in the film now it could substantially decrease so many of the world's problems. Without a doubt this documentary gives off many emotions, it makes you stop and think that if we all worked together as a nation or many nations we can solve these issues. It easy to say, but in all reality I don't know if it can ever work.

My Name
As you know my name is Brady Sullivan. The name Brady is an old irish nickname or surname, from the decendant of Bradach. The meaning of the name Brady is "spirited one." When i was born my parents did not know if Iwas going to be a boy or a girl so they decided on two differnt names; Brady or Megan. Since I did turn out to be a male I luckily recieved the name Brady. I'm sure I would have been the laughing stock of the neighborhood if my name was Megan. I am in fact 100% irish blooded so the name Brady fits my heritage quite well. I have been recently designing a tattoo that vertically reads "Spirited One" and I am very excited to scar my body with that tat. My brother who's name is Michael or Mike was the one who made the final decision on my name when I was born. I think he chose Brady because he wanted a brother with a semi-unique name because his is so generic. This past year one of my family's very close friends recently named there son Brady after me, which obviously touched me very deeply. In the long haul I will always like my name and stories behind it.

What did you learn at library? What concerns do you still have with paper?
I learned quite a bit at the library about research, books, and how to find resources. When I first arrived at the library I was certain about my research topic. Shortly after I realized that the topic of ski managment as an occupation would be rather tough to find information about. So I switched my topic to the wonderful history of Beer. I found out that beer would be much easier to find information about, and I would feel more comfortable composing a paper of this matter. I am happy wiht my decision and hope to write an very imfomative paper on the history of beer.
Some concerns I have with my topic is when I am writing I hope I don't assume any information or express any of my opinions on the subject. Another concern is accomplishing my task on time. I tend to procrastinate a lot and am worried my draft won't be finished on time. Other than that I feel that this paper will be a success and I am somewhat excited to research and write on the topic of beer.
