Entry #6 - A Little Look at the Toyota Tacoma

Today, Toyota is known worldwide for its cars like the Corolla, Camry, and a personal favorite, the Supra. However, their trucks are also just as popular, if not more. Throughout their production of trucks, they've had many different kinds like the Hilux, ironically, Toyota Truck, and the Tundra. Each one of these trucks is great, but the one that we'll be going over is the Toyota Tacoma , specifically how it came to be and what is so great about having one. The first generation of Toyota Tacomas was made from 1995-2004. Compared to the previous truck, the Toyota Truck, it had improved handling and comfort. By the time the 2000s came, they had made standard running headlights on models with abs. They would even add vehicle stability control(VSC) and traction control. Toyota would also make the PreRunner Xtracab and Xtracab TRD packages in this generation. With the TRD (Toyota Racing Development), Toyota aimed to create a truck dedicated to off-roading. This was only possible wi...

Entry #5 - What Could Go Wrong?

 The debate about whether cats or dogs are has been ongoing since the beginning of the 2000s. Many people say dogs are better because they are energetic and loving, while others say cats are more than that. This rivalry has also created many stereotypes about both. Dogs are crazy and rambunctious, while cats are devious and mess-makers. In the ad " Cat :30 | Allstate Mayhem ," Allstate portrays the "cat stereotypes by showing Mayhem as a cat trying to promote their home insurance. Cat - Allstate Mayhem The ad starts with Mayhem playing with a toy and saying he's your cat. He then says he's going to destroy you! He's been planning this since the day you got him, and "This is a billion years of tiger DNA just ready to pounce" that it's not the love you think it is. While explaining this comfortably on the couch, they show Mayhem doing cat stuff, like standing on the Roomba (autonomous vacuum), looking out of the cat tree, and turning on the fauce...

Entry #4 - Off-Roading Brought to Your Home

 After a long day of work, sometimes people want a way to relax and wind down. For example, some people use video games to chill and do something fun. Amazingly, even truckers can play video games in their semi-trucks! Even though they want to get away from their job and get a break, ironically, some play video games that are almost, if not exactly, what they do for their job, like SnowRunner . On April 28, 2020, Focus Home Interactive published the game SnowRunner, developed by Saber Interactive. However, when it was first announced in 2018, it was initially called MudRunner2, but Focus and Saber re-released it as SnowRunner later that year. The two previous games, Spintires and MudRunner, caused much anticipation for the community for these games. It had gotten over one million copies in the first month of release and had two million sold by May of the following year.  SnowRunner Cover - EpicGames Now, what is SnowRunner?

Entry #3 - What Could It Be???

Leeloo Thefirst - Pexel Many things could be guessed from an open-ended question like "What could it be?"  Some might imagine something concerning sports, cars, travel, school, or food. But throughout this, you'll have to determine what it could be for yourself, and after reading this, you can look it up to see what you think it is. It could be anything you never know; you might even have It as you read.  After looking at the light blue and white package, It reminds you of something attractive and fresh. It catches your eye, making you want to try out what It is. Its name sounds like what it is but is spelled differently to give its way of showing what's in the tin. Opening this metal container gives a satisfying *pop* and *ting* sound while the contents shuffle around. But while closing, It you hear that nostalgic *click* sound that leaves you with that instinct to look and want to see what It was. These circular disks have an odd but interesting indent in their cent...

Entry #2 - The History Of The Javelin

Every four years, many different sports are held during the Olympics, one of the sections called track and field. The track is 400 meters all the way around. Some short-distance events are the 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m dash, 110m, 100m, and 400m hurdles. They also hold long-distance events like the 1600m(1 mile), 3200m (2 miles), and a mid-range at 800m (1/2 mile). Field events range from jumping or pole vaulting to throwing an implement as far as possible. All the throwing events are discus throw, hammer throw, and shot put, with the last being javelin throw.  (2021 Getty Images) Now, what is the javelin throw?

And for women, it can't weigh less than 600mg and measure 2.2-2.3m. The competitors must land the tip of the javelin in a 29-degree sector.
