About The Place I Would Rather Be

The place i would rather be is quite quaint just a small little cabin with big windows to let the sun shine in, it is not like a log cabin its a little more contemporary It doesn't sit on a mountain side but rather close to one, and on the other you can see the ocean. Its green all around as far as the eye can see with not so much mountains but hills the from where we stand in the cabin you never see the ground go flat it is forever billowing together like the ocean waves it is not exactly sunny but rather it is just faintly overcast which really brings out the lush vegetation all around us. right beyond that mountain range there is a valley with no trees as far as the eye can see, and very off in the distance you can see faint shapes of the mountains trying so hard to be seen. our cabin is warm due to the wood stove we keep in the main room, and there is a beautiful kitchen.

I see a big window and outside of that window are the lush green hilly lands of which i spoke and just to the left of those hills is the ocean crashing upon the sides of a cliff.

I can hear wood burning, and crackling, and the ocean waves roaring. and the occasional whisper of wind as it glides down the mountain past my cabin.

The floor on which i stand is smooth wood with a splinter here and there. on that is a white rug which is soft, soft enough to sleep on ;) the walls are textured like a ceiling with little bumps in them.

Would you rather

would you rather appear as Yasir Arafat when you look in the mirror or have Darth Vader's theme song play every time you entered a room

wow this is a hard one for me...as cool as i think it would be to have Darth Vader's theme as my own, i fear i would grow very tired of listening to it every time i walked into a room, in all honesty these bother sound equally horrible. Only one truly has a distinct loop hole. and that is with the Yasir Arafat one, Because you have to look into a "mirror"  so technically i could look into a camera or something to, and do whatever i needed to do there, and on the plus side if i carried around a mirror i could really freak some kids out! I believe the Yasir Arafat has more upsides to it than down sides! so with out a doubt I would choose that :) whew much better choice than leaking paprika ;)

Would you rather

Would you rather have living eye brows that crawled around your face or a trail of paprika everywhere you go?

I would chose the paprika only because i feel as though i am very self-conscious when it comes to my face. though that would be a hard life to live leaving a trail of paprika everywhere you go. I mean just think if you went to wal-mart with that "clean up on every isle that guy goes to". and then people would think you were just pulling some sort of prank on them. yup I'm convinced that this life would probably suck... and then what if you were playing hide and go seek.. uuh that just would not work! or if you were running from a killer or a monster or a politician. they would always know where you are at!! AHHH!!! NO NOT THE POLITICIANS!!! but then again what if you became a chef and your main ingredient was paprika than that would awesome and you could always solve the politician problem by carrying a gun, and being willing to use it... hmm but then again if you did kill someone the cops would know right where to find you. gosh maybe i didn't make the right choice. and think about walking around your house... man people would hate you. the more i look into this the more i know i made the wrong choice! but then again ;)

A Time My Ego Was Hurt (Kind of)

hmm.... well... I can't think of one right off the top of my head so instead i will deploy the most deadliest weapons of w my writing arsenal  The Tangent! hahaha not really but i will continue to write until something pops into my head that way when every one behind me looks at my computer screen they will be all like" yeah that guys on fire" and my teach will be like "dang Tim never stops writing" yup hmm best idea ever. OK now back t o ego, a time my ego was hurt. um .. hmm.. gosh why can't i think of a time this is ridiculous this shouldn't be that hard. OK OK so i remember when i was like 10 i wanted to have this big birthday party and i had everything set up and it turned out no one could come! i though t everyone hated me!!! it was horrible! ugh... it still hurts thinking back on it... that was some deepo emotional scarring right there... so yeah there is a time my ego was hurt pretty dang bad... does that count? i think it does... i hope it does... because what if we have to write something about what i just wrote... then i would not have just screwed up this writing but also the writing after it... hmmmm anyways i just hope that doesn't happen :) smiley face. I remember feeling like the whole world was crashing down on me... now i just understand that they were all pretty busy and stuff... but gosh i just expected everyone to come... i even set up like little carnival games for us all to play... gosh i even sound like a 10 year old... yes a very hard day for me to say the least.

Peaches

Crap!  So today I was given the opportunity to pick out the writing prompt in my English class and I chose ‘peach” not quite the most thought full answer but I really did want to give the prompt. So I will speak to you today about my experiences with peaches.

Now me and peaches didn’t not use to be the best of buds, in fact we use to be immortal enemies (only we were both mortal) it was such a ridiculous fruit in my opinion with its nasty fuzz and squishy mass in the middle. Only from these past couple years have I really began to appreciate what peaches contribute to society. How they are so juicy and delicious and go great in Snapple! The other day I had my FIRST peach milkshake and it was pretty dang good. Peaches are so dang sweet its like dipping a cookie into sugar, and sharing it with a bunch of little sugar sprites. That’s some sweet crap! Sometimes it can be just a little over barring, but other times it just really hits you right in the spot that you need to be hit in. and that is my thought on peaches J Gosh now im just wondering how everyone else is doing with their writings about peaches. I bet everyone is like “what the crap?!”

Anger

Things that make me mad

• Politics
• drugs
• Ignorance
• tags that stick out of shirts
• socks that don't fit

One of my HUGE pet peeves is socks that don't fit properly. I don't really care what type of sock it is (though i prefer ankle socks) if it fits properly it is my favorite pair. Me socks have not always had the best of relationships but i believe we are getting better. when i was younger i had socks that were so big so every time i put them on i would have like 4 more inches of sock just dangling at the tip of my petite toes. As i grew up i abandoned such socks, but to no avail. for the next several years i would get socks that were to small or to big. Only through these past 3 years have I began to get socks that truly fit and let me tell you It is one of the best things that has every happened to me.

Nifty Little Black Bench

Within the inner dwellings of my my room there is a black bench. This bench is one of the more handy things i have in my house :) it not only functions as a comfy foot reliever but also as a storage facility holding blankets, papers, cords, pillows, sheets, green screens, and various equipment. This bench is also the bench i sit on when making vlogs for my YouTube page (not that its much of a page) I can remember first getting this bench on an early Christmas morn! I had no idea what it was... but i was glad to have gotten :) we use to set it out in our front room and play Nazi Zombies and Halo on the xbox while sitting on it, come to think of it i should take it back down stairs so we can do that again. its quite a nifty little bench.

A Beginning that Seemingly Never Comes

If you do not know already I am an aspiring film maker. I have many ideas but very few creations. Its a very difficult thing for me to just get up and do what i love, its almost like i would rather just think or believe I'm making these great films that have yet to even become finalized plots. I once heard a man say "Film Making is a Terribly Colossal Heartbreak" and it is. You spend countless hours dreaming, imagining, conceptualizing an idea, writing a rough draft, writing a revised rough draft, Then you take your draft that when read reminds you of a 5 year old's Christmas list with all its misunderstandings, incomprehensible grammar, and misspellings. "Where did my story go?" You take this draft and begin to mold the the characters that you had met in your dreams only to realize that they are all the same with no depth or color in them. You begin to try to give them meaningful dialogue hoping it will give them the emotion and depth that you so desperately crave for your video. When going back over your amazing, gut wrenching, emotional dialogue you find it sounds no more different then an 8 year old girl telling a boy that she loves him. Its cute and you can hear the whole audience in a patronizing voice saying "aww isn't that so nice". Finally you finish your script, your master piece. You go on the search to find actors that can play your completely 1 dimensional characters hoping that they will hopefully bring some character into them. You look for locations and places you can film to create your film, sacrificing your vision for practicality. Almost as if for every step you take another piece of your vision dies. Once all the filming is done you move into your "post production" editing your video and compromising your vision once again because you software can't or won't do what you want. Finally you create your finished movie and send it off like a letter to Santa just hoping that through all the misunderstandings, holes, gapes, misrepresentations, and corny dialog  he will be able to understand what you are trying to say and see the dream that you had in the beginning. Film making is a terribly colossal heartbreak, BUT!! You begin to realize that through all the hiccups, faults, mistakes, and compromising YOU/I am learning how to be better. With each creation I learn more and more, and though i know these may sound like horrible things to go through just for one video. These are the struggles i am proud to go through, and i do not go through the struggles alone God is guiding me. Each step i take has been placed there by God for me to step on and though i may see all the steps of my dreams fall away all that means is that they were not steady or suitable to stand on. God has given and is giving me foundation to stand on.  One day I will create something spectacular! Not because i am amazing at film, but because God is helping me learn each day how to become better. It is not easy being a film make. Its worth it!

Basically everything i said but better.

Description/Revising

I saw a man today who startled me quite a bit, not just because of how he looked but how he acted. Let me explain just a little more. Today I decided to go to a little coffee shop down town called "The Green Dragon" it was a nice little quaint shop, i thought the prices were a little to high, as i sat down drinking an over priced vanilla latee i noticed a man walk into the coffee shop, and by noticed i mean he was impossible to miss! He walked in like a frieght train, just huge, with arms as big as me, a scruffy beard leather coat, and unique ink prints all over his body! but if you looked closer you noticed his sleak blonde hair, his perfectly shaped incissors, his eyes the color of a glissening sea, and his sharp looking opticals resting gently on a petite cartilage lump between two rounded  huge cheekbones. the ladies were all over this guy not just because of his looks but he was a sweet heart, always willing to talk and have a good time. the funny thing is he was also very compassionate not just to the ladies but to everyone, never wanted to leave anyone out. he wasn't arogant, but rather was comfortable with his self, willing to take risks and enjoy life.

Audience Analysis

As a class I can see many similarities and differences between all of us. We all value family, friends, and life in general, though we all may see life in completing different ways. We are all individuals with our own opinions all to ourselves but what is so great about that is like a Thanks Giving Dinner we all bring something different to the table and we can all just get together and be thankful. Some would want to be beautiful orchids while others would like to be simple moss, while others would like to be a wise bonzi tree. We all have our own styles but that is what is so amazing about us, that even in our vast differences we can yet still have similarities that unite us such as we all love converse and most of use wish to be them.

One thing that did surprise me was how many people looked back on their life and said “I wouldn’t want to change a thing because my success and failures have made me who I am today” and I did paraphrase a little but that was the basic response. I very much liked that we all agreed that happiness is so much more important than money or monetary things. Looking the class as a collective I would say that we love to love, and though we may be keeping it secrete we all have a hilarious comedic side (which I think we should break out more often).

Though it was tough for me to find a lot of similarities with in all of us I feel like that’s natural. We are all individuals with different like’s, styles, and life patterns. Even though our favorites are for the  most part all different I believe we all still appreciate beautiful art.
