Tuesday.

Hello.

I suppose we are supposed to be writing an entire page about the ted talks we just watched. Sad to say I missed the instructions in both periods somehow. Anyway. 

The first video is about the teenage boy who is a genius?

I guess some kids are just really driven to do well. You know. Like multimedia two. We are all just as driven as him... Okay maybe a little more. He seemed like a bit of a slacker.. Does blogger detect sarcasm?

Why yes, yes it does. The boy is a genius and no doubt we can all achieve greatness just as he did. I just wonder if he has a social life. I wonder how many dances he has been to in his high school career. How many times did he just go out and "hang out". High school though it is the time for self discovery and to be passionate about something, it is also the only time in your life that you get to just chill. That guy will be doing that job for the rest of his life. Which, I mean more power to him he seems to really like it, but what happens ten years down the road, twenty years down the road when he realizes he has no childhood friends, he never had that great high school love. He never got to enjoy his youth.

It seems like a tough price to pay to achieve greatness.

The second video I don't really understand how we are to write a paper on it... I mean it's super great. He used the mac error and loading symbols to make a presentation. Wooo. He even looks surprised. Blake asked if he knew that was going to happen. Oh man. I think we all know that he made that. So I don't really understand why he was on Ted Talks. I wish he would've talked more about how the idea came to him and how he created it. 

People only reveal their true self when coerced, or far to comfortable.

I realize that was random but I feel it needed to be stated. People suck, as Emma Stone states in Easy A. 

Sidenote: I'm going to be on the other side of the country in approximately: 212.84 hours. 

Wednesday.

Bonjour Multimedia Deux! 

For those of you who don't know what that means, it's french for Hello Multimedia Two! Inspired by our prom theme a night in Paris I decided to bring a little culture into my blog. 

What's culture? You may be asking yourself. 

Google defines it as:

The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

Huh. I don't know about you but it was pretty confusing to me. 

Here's how I look at it:

The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement: Humans/art/media/etc.

Regarded collectively: Looked at as a whole. 

So. Everything we (as humans) have made (produced..etc..) in a 'collage' like setting.

Good to know right?

Right.

I don't know what that tangent was about other then to distract me from this looming due date of my video. Which is soon by the way. I hope to have everything filmed, refilmed, and dubbed by the time I leave for New York. Which by the way is in like two weeks. Nerve wracking. I'm well aware. 

Not only is that soon. The soon ness of that means that graduation is in six weeks. HOLY CRAP.

PEOPLE SHOULD BE PANICKING.

It's crunch time now. Our high school careers are basically over. I forget that other people have things like finals and exams to mark the coming disaster (graduation). I only have the one thought of finishing this video. It is the only thing that keeps me having a grasp on this crazy little date. 

Wow. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. 

Sidenote(and conclusion for the whole culture thing(sorry about all the parenthesis(I was in a mood))): Prom is in three days. It will be a grand night. Hope to see you all there. 

Monday.

HIIIII MULTIMEDIA TWO.

It's been awhile. I've missed all of you soo so so so much.

Can you believe we are about to graduate? 

It's pretty much super crazy.

Anyway. Last time 'we' chatted (when I rambled to myself and pretended you were all talking back), I mentioned that I was going to the Young the Giant concert. It was FANTASTIC. Group Love opened for them and they did super great. We ended up shmooving our way into the middle and had a super great vantage point. It was lovely.

I can't think of what I've been doing since then so obviously that means it's been eventful. 

I'm pretty sure I didn't watch much TV during the break. 

Though, I did start a new job at none other then Forever 21. It was fantastic.

Pretty sure the whole thing is one blur and moved so fast that I can't remember most of it but it was great!

People shop like demons.

I went and saw the Lorax last night. Huh. After getting a bit teary eyed at the Bully trailer the movie commenced. Wow. Are all children's movies so political? Seriously. The only thing I could think the whole time is how we are the citizens of Thneedville and are ruining the world and so gullible and just not very good people. I hate when childrens movies have alterior motives. It's so sneaky! 

My movie is coming along. 

I'm getting pretty stoked for it. It's going to be super fantastic. If I can get the whole thing finished in time. That is my number one worry. But I think if I can do that I can do anything. 

Sidenote: I leave for New York in 22 days. And we Graduate in 44. 

Tuesday.

So. 

It's been quite the exciting time since I last wrote.

Loghan and I went to SkillsUSA and KILLED it. It went very well as we got third place.

We also went on quite the adventure that I'm not allowed to talk about. It was fun though.

THEN. I went to Moab on Saturday. It was pretty great except the GoPRO ran out of memory real quick so I missed all of the wonderfully great things. It made me real depressed as I drove through some super intense stuff and it would've been RAD to get some great video. Sigh, Oh well.

People think that if they can drive a car then they can jeep just fine. 

No, they can't, stop trying, you look like an idiot.

On Sunday, I watched Mad Men with my parents. Has anyone reading this seen it? It's pretty fantastic as far as TV shows go. They really put you into the early sixties and make you feel like your there. Though it makes me sad when they say a joke and my parents laugh but I don't get it.. Oh well. Anyway. In that show they made a woman look HUGE. Really she looked awful. It was crazy because you know what she looks like in real life which is really not bad but they make her look terrible. It kinda freaked me out how they did that. 

THEN. My mother and I watched the Vampire Diaries. It's funny that you are talking about sound today because their sound mixer was TERRIBLE this week. Literally, during the show I asked my mom if he was drunk. The dialoge was quiet when the background noise was so loud. It was a terrible mixed and made me sad that my favorite show did such an awful job. 

I think that's about all. OH!

Sidenote: I'm going to Young the Giant tonight and I'm SO STOKED. 

WOOO. 

Friday.

I think I'm getting an ulcer.

I'm sure a part of it is from my diet. I mean three cans of Dr. Pepper and no water every day is probably not the healthiest thing. 

But still, I'm STRESSING. OUT.

This is being so difficult. I am on a time crunch now for my senior project which is freaking me out. 

People are less helpful then ever.

I swear every time I say "Hey, can I film you?" I get "No, I don't look good today." Which you know, I understand to an extent but if I ask a person three b-days in a row you'd think they would get it. 

I feel like I'm being whiny since I only have two classes. But at the same time, I'm running out of time. 

I don't know. It's probably just me.

Sidenote: The trailer for the new Johnny Depp movie Dark Shadows looks stupid.

Wednesday.

WOOOOO 

Makin headway on ma video!!!!

People are helpful...Most of the time.

I can't think of anything really great to say and that 's really all that I've been up to lately. So I think that's all I really want to talk about. It's going to be super great. 

Thursday.

Soooo.. I don't really know what to say so I think I'm going to just keep this up and running throughout today's lesson.

I guess I could catch up on DECA.

I didn't do so hot. Still 7th in the state isn't bad I suppose.

I haven't watched anything really groundbreaking lately. I should find something good. I'm in the middle of season 2 in Dexter and I'm super loving every second of it. I watched Castle last night which is one of my favorite TV shows due to it's ridiculousness. It's really funny. They have really good timing on all of their jokes which makes it easier to watch even though it's super cheesy at times.

In other news: 

Desert Noises has a show on Friday that I'm super stoked for. It's going to be fantastic. They have a few 10-15 second clips on Facebook. They look like good ideas for small commercials that we could easily do for video lab. Since they are just short and don't really go together but yet totally do at the same time. 

The TED talks video we watched was quite interesting. I don't know what else to say about it. He is an amazing story teller obviously since he wrote a few of my favorite Disney movies such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Wall-E. He seemed a little awkward on camera though. He reminded me of Zack in our last video announcements how he kept having to look at the prompter.

Speaking of video announcements: for some reason, I keep feeling like I want to combine that with Political Science? Maybe I could be a news reporter for international affairs or something? I just don't know. But I do know that I probably want to be on camera for next weeks show just because it looks super great. 

People have a tendency to underwhelm. 

It's probably my fault. I need to make myself inspired before other people can get me inspired. I need to rely on myself more to feel a drive. I definitely need to stop counting on other people to make me happy. That's my new goal. 

Apple Store Grand Central Station. AWESOME. It looks super fantastic. I'm really excited to go to there.

Sidenote: I really need to get working on my final project for the seniors. For some reason it didn't dawn on me that graduation is just around the corner. AHH!! 83 days. Intense.
