Identify

In the books we have read over the course of the year, I feel as though I cant identify with any of them. Im not sure if it is because I was forced to read them so I wasn't as invested in the book as normal, or if it was just because of the book. I do admit the style of writing from the time these were wrote and the fact I don't really like England in general even though I was born there. I just didn't feel a connection with any of the characters probably because it was from the 1800's and it is hard to relate my life now to then, and even in the time traveler where he goes to the future where we live and sees all the technology. It isn't anything like it is today and it almost made them seem kinda unintelligent for thinking that. These book I felt were very rudimentary and didn't have close to enough meaning behind them to spark up a conversation or debate over anything. These books were written by conformists of the time and even though some might say otherwise they all did conform to some terms and it made the book boring, and uncontroversial which is what everybody wants and what we need to show our individualism and think of society. The TT could have been a great book for this but the writer completely butchered what he could have done with it.

Journal #15

     I THINK THAT PEOPLE LIKE TO BE SCARED BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM A SENSE OF THRILL AND PEOPLE WHO ARE THRILL SEEKERS REALLY LIKE TO BE ON EDGE AT ALL TIMES. THE BEST WAY TO HAVE A GOOD THRILL IS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS  COMING NEXT AND HAVE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ALSO TO IT TO PREPARE FOR THE WORST IN LIFE AND TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING THAT CAN ACTUALLY HAPPEN TO THEM IN REAL LIFE. THEY ALSO LIKE TO BE SCARED BECAUSE THEY ARE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE BRAVE. 

     I think that is Macbeth had not heard the response eventually he would have still become king just not in such a bad way, I think the prophecy was always going to be true but because the witches are evil they almost tricked him into rushing into the kingship because, they wanted something bad to happen and they knew that this would be the perfect time, he went to the king and killed him because the witches told him he would become king and he rushed into it by killing the previous king.

   
THANK FULL 4!!!!



     I am thankful for life, I want to do something positive with my life also, I am thankful for decisions that we can make and I am thankful for Veganism and Speciesims because it allows you to do good and become a leader, I am vegan because I want to make a difference and when people say but your one person it is still a small change and eventually people will understand the good and follow, I am thankful that I get the opportunity to try and change the bad in the world and make it better,  also I am thankful for support and love in life, everything that everybody does is out of love or a cry for love, there is no other reasons to do anything. I am also thankful for family not just my immediate family but all of my friends and that they will do anything for me and I am thankful for love because, without love there is no life, I am thankful for everybody in the world good or bad because they contribute or will contribute with guidance for the other people in the world.

The Remake 2.0

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
By Maurice Sendak

     The Boy wakes up inside of the boat that is docked on a beach he then decides to sail back out to sea to try and find his friends when he is traveling down the water he gets stopped by a man in a fishing boat this man lowers the net and picks up his small wooden sail boat and the boy is screaming he then get up onto this boat and the man hits him in the head with a crowbar, the boy is knocked out and is just lying there as the man goes back and starts to drive the boat away, the story goes to the boys point of view and its all black then when he wakes up he sees all of the wild things again and he is so happy but his head hurts then they nurse him back to health and they have so much more fun after he is better and its a big story about how he grows up and lives with them and loves to have fun. This would be ten times better than the really sad ending because you think it is sad but then it gets really good and everybody is happy because sad things are the worst and I hate sad endings to movies.

Life Goals

   
     When I am 70 years old ( if I love that long ) I would like to have a nice house somewhere warm, like Aruba and I would like it to be modern and lots of windows so I feel free. I would like to have enough money to get all the foods that I like such as lobster salad, and be able to relax and not stress and worry about anything. I would like to have a family with three kids that are grown up and have their own kids and they can come down and visit me, I would also enjoy to live with my long term wife that I love and we are best friends, being able to just relax and enjoy the last years of my life with the people that I love. I would also like to live right on the beach, but one without waves so I can just sit in the warm clear water all day long. By that time I hope they invent a permanent sun screen so I wont get skin cancer. I would like my house to have lots of couches and bean bags so that it is very comfortable, I would have lost of furry blankets for night times when I just want to sit and watch some television. I want to achieve this goal because I wan't to truly be happy, growing up there is lots of pressure on you and other people you need to rely on that a lot of the time wont come through to help you. I want to be self reliant and be able to support my family and especially my wife, I want her to be happy also and I want her to do the things that will make her happy. This is important to me because I don't like to rely on others for anything I just want them to give me the stuff to do and I will do it but if they don't give me the tools to be able and I get in trouble when I try to make my own tools then its is a catch twenty-two and there is no way to succeed, I want to make the people that I care about happy. I will begin working towards this goal by trying to do well in the rest of high school and choose a career path that will earn me enough money while I also don't loose sight of what I want for my life. The hard part is that when you are a kid you have a lot of energy no money and no time and when you are a adult you have some energy a lot of money but no time, then when you are old you have a lot of time and a lot of money but no energy to do the things that you want to do, I want to be happy when I die.

Dining Dates w/ Dead or Alive

Erik Johansson- I would want to have dinner with Erik because he seams to have an amazing Imagination in the way that he sees the world and thinks about other things, I would love to hear what he has to say about lots of different topics and subjects.

Kyle Thompson- This kid is by far one of the most talented photographers in the world he is a surrealism artist and he has a very dark theme to his photos but they always represent some enlightening that gives you a realization of some sorts.

Rodney Mullen- He is just awesome and really rad, I have never met him before but I have been to a couple of his interviews and he is very down to earth and mellow he doesn't think of him self as famous he just looks at himself like another skater even though he almost was the one to make skateboarding popular if it wasn't for him I don't think there would be even half the people skating today.

Torstein Horgmo- He is one of the best snowboarders that I know and I never really get to see him because he is a very prestigious rider but he is awesome and just loves to ride and have fun, he is a blast like he doesn't have a worry in the world he can just live his life and do what he does and I look up to him a lot for the way he is.

Christopher Mckenny- He is another very good photographer but he isn't very well known, he just loves to create what he is thinking and put it down onto the screen. The pictures all have a message some are harder to find but if you look and think hard enough you will always stumble upon a idea.

     I would want to have dinner with all of these people but in different locations, this is because I would like to see how they act in certain areas, of course for Rodney Mullen I would choose Bob Burnquist's house because he has a amazing mega ramp in his backyard that would be so much fun to skate on. And with Torstein I would definitely choose Snow Camp in Sweden because me and him both go there in the summers to ride because the mountain very close to it has an awesome park or I would go to Copper and Breckenridge in CO because thats like my home, so just hanging out with him there would be wicked cool. The Photographers I would want to be able to have dinner all over and see how they perceive different locations and what goes through there mind when they see something because as a surrealist photographer they see the impossible in a way that could very well be possible.
