A new time

I just finished my portfolio a few days ago. I am definitely making progress with my capstone, but I still have a long way to go.

Meat N' Bones

What did I pull out of this semester?

* A great sense of seeing sideways
* Opening my eyes to the world that breathes around us
* Molding creativity into life
* Some soul searching

I enjoyed this class a lot, sometimes the projects too much. It's funny how absorbed a person can be in their work. We all need escapes, and this perfect for just a thing. I will certainly take these skills as my building blocks for future work!

Wow

I realize now how badly I need glasses, I couldn't read any of the what if questions posted. The final class already, but really what happened to the time? I feel like the days all just melt together anymore. One whole month has already passed, and I barely even witnessed it. My mind opened up so much during this class. Sometimes I could even say it opened up too much. Thinking alllll day long can just lead to insanity. Wow... Brandons video really hit me hard. The video opened my eyes again to reality. I was baffled after watching it, bravo. Now what projects will I have for the rest of the summer?!

Two places at once?

Sometimes the world that we live in makes absolutely no sense. The thunder outside booms and roars, but why? We can prove it scientifically, but why it exists on this Earth cannot be answered. We know so little about what reality is, because we barely know what it is. What is reality? The fact that we know only what exists on our planet, but we barely even know everything on it! I cannot keep over complicating life, my happiness depends on it. Some things can be searched for a persons whole life, and still be unable to figure out.

My 50 Thesis

So I chose the .swf video that he made!
From this URL to his blog below. This video gave me a chill of excitement, something about it stood out.

From Heathers 50 What if questions I chose these five.



#38 What if one person was responsible for the destruction of earth?
#36 What if after the earth was destroyed the debris created something else?
#16 What if this was focused on humans instead of nature?
#39 What if one person was responsible for the creation of earth?
#27 What if this became reality?

These five stood out because I thought they were very unique. I have a lot of space to work with.

So a few days have passed and my brain is just unable to put these to life. I figured out the question I chose, but I figured it out and proved it false.

Always something new

So I'm sitting here in Bloomington and my best friends house on my laptop trying to figure out what to write about. It's about 3:40 A.M and I recalled class being very interesting today. It felt good to just get up and talk about my piece. I just cant wait to rent this camera out and start on my next one. I loved that everyone had a different opinion about what I made, and its inspired me to try and better what I've made so far. I can't believe next week is the last week of class. Its crazy how time has been flying, but I've been super bored. It's almost the only thing that keeps me feeling productive through the summer.

Sad Story

Well I broke my camera so doing the project I wanted didn't work. I really wanted to do something with photos, so I'm renting out a camera from the tech department. I will be able to pick it up tomorrow! So this project is once again delayed, but do not fret! I want to show my other project today!
