Art Museum

When we went to the art museum this week, I thought I would be going to a very small museum with a few things, but when I walked in , I was amazed to see that there were many things. I was happy to see, when I looked upstairs a giant Buddha. Since Buddhism is a giant interest of mine, I wash happy to see it. I think I would of enjoyed the tour more if the person, woman, whom gave us the tour was more educated on it. Other than that, it was pretty good, and I hope to go back there very soon. To see the other pieces of art that are located in there. I am very interested in seeing the rest of the Christian and Contemporary Art Sections.

Leap of Faith

A Leap of Faith: A leap of faith, the air under you feet. Your arms extended. Your last breath. You never know whats going to happen. But you just believe. You never give up. You do what you want. You feel how you feel. You say what you say. You do what you want, because you believe that its right. You believe that faith will help you. You believe that everything will be okay.

Ishmael Beah's audience: Talking

While at the Ishmael Beah reading, I heard many things. I heard him speak about the book he wrote and all the proses in which it took. I heard about his experiences and he orally told the story of it, briefly. But what I heard most, was the audience. Sitting in a a crowd of hundreds and maybe be a thousand or more people, you can hear all the things around you. From the chewing of gum, a baby crying or even the conversations of people in front, behind and beside you . I thought that for the most part it was an okay audience, but I could hear people talking about how they wanted to leave and how they didnt care, which really annoyed me. If you dont care,maybe you shouldnt have come. Maybe you should of stayed home, and did other things. I think its rude that man comes to a college and takes time out of his life to explain things to us and people dont appreciate it. So i dont understand why they just dont leave. And another thing that annoyed me was the fact that people brought babies. I mean everyone can hear when a child is upset and no child is just going to sit there and listen to a man speak. I did not think it was a place for a child.

Monty Python

So, Mony Python and The Holy Grail , is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a very Sacreligious movie, but in good taste. It makes fun of Great Britain Mythology, ( King Auther and Knights of the Round Table.) But the Witch Scene, is one of my absolute favorites. The fact that they are that excited about casting out a person, to go and dress them up and make stupid comments on what makes a witch, astonds me. The fact they say, she has a wort, and she has a witch note, which they had put on her. But still insist on her being a witch.


The Witch: I'm not a witch I'm not a witch!
Sir Bedevere: But you are dressed as one
The Witch: *They* dressed me up like this!
Crowd: We didn't! We didn't...
The Witch: And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
Sir Bedevere: [lifts up her false nose] Well?
Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose.
Sir Bedevere: The nose?
Peasant 1: And the hat, but she is a witch!
Crowd: Yeah! Burn her! Burn her!
Sir Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 3: No!
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 1: Yes!
Peasant 2: Yes!
Peasant 1: Yeah a bit.
Peasant 3: A bit!
Peasant 1, Peasant 2: A bit!
Peasant 2: a bit
Peasant 1: But she has got a wart!
Random Person in the crowd: *cough* *cough*

Invisiable Children

Invisible Children: The Rescue from Invisible Children Europe on Vimeo.

Since we read the book, a boy soldier , I thought Id post a video since I am a part of a foundation, that is to rescue children soldiers. I think everyone should join the group by either signing up for the newsletter or even donating or helping out. They have missions all the time, and I find this very important and informational.

English

This class is a little bit too easy for me, which also makes it hard in a sense, as in to pay attention. Although I'm sure this will change as the semester goes on! Or I can only HOPE. Blogging is no big deal to me, because I use to do it all the time, in my high school years, around 10th and 11th grade. But its nice to get back into the feel of it, and to be able to write things down that is racing through my head, which is a lot of things. (laugh out loud) At this moment I am sitting on this cold tile floor in the North Quad waiting for my Latin class to begin, which I am some what excited about, since I know all the Vocabulary words for the Quiz, I don't know what I am suppose to be blogging about on this blog, so I'm just going to use it as a regular blog and write anything my little heart desires. But for now, I am done, since I need to get into class and do things, that matter <3

Goals?

So we are suppose to write down our goals in this class, which I find kind of interesting, in which Ive never had a class in which I had to blog about my goals in that class. Thinking about it , as I type this, I may not have many or any goals for this class, other to pass it. Maybe sooner or later, I will be able to come up with things, that I might want to accomplish or whatever. I might have a goal in to which i might be able to write better, and have a broad array of words to use when writing, which will come in handy with my Photojournalism major.
