Jobs

After reading ​Patricia's last post, it really got me thinking.

It is so hard for people to obtain jobs with the current state of the economy.

It is a fact that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is high.

But I have two jobs.

Not just one.  But TWO JOBS.

I don't know whether I just got lucky or is it a product of my hard work?


Out of Luck

I’m out of time, and out of luck, and no one seems to give a fuck

They say its just fine here, they say at least we have beer

But I don’t wana go a single day without you, and baby they don’t have a clue

 

But baby, I can’t seem to pass, out of steam, and running out of gas

You say I’m losing you, but I’m trying my best to push on trough

Promise, after promise we made, we sat, and we layed

But all that time I was thinking too much, of how I had this hunch

I was never good enough for you, and baby we never had a clue

 

I’m out of gas, out of luck, and nobody ever gives a fuck

Stuck here in this one man town, acting like I’m a clown

But I don’t wana live without you hear, I don’t give a shit about this beer

 

Why do you say I can’t pass, when its you who made me run outa gas

You say I’m losing you, but you wont help me through

When all I ever said and did, was tell you it would be alright when you hid

I was always there for you, baby you know, yes you know its true

 

But I’m out of time, and I’m out of luck, and you never even really gave a fuck

They say its fine here, maybe I’ll drink a little beer

Because your always gonna just stand there, yeah, just stand, away from here

Hopeful Dreams (4/26)

​Ever since I had a extremely scary dream (I was around 8 at the time) about the grim reaper cutting people in half with his scythe. I never ever have dreams anymore. I want them. Maybe with some nice girls in them... But overall I just want nice or even bad dreams. Give me advice. 

Ideas, ideas

​For dig vid we have to come up with ideas for our final film. My team found a film idea generator to use for inspiration but now we are finding it is far more entertaining. Some make sense a bit and some are just to random. Here is one: 

The Running Blood

He was a flame-haired dodgy geezer, who had a a face full of stubble and an ability to fly. She was a mean spirited pub landlady who bungie jumped from bridges and yearned for the taste of blood. Together they rode through the night on their trusty steeds. Fighting gluttonous crime lords and freeing captured souls.

Can't Believe It

Wow! I can't believe it. My time at SLA is coming to an end, and even though I will be a little sad when then time comes, I will also be happy. Not just happy for me but happy for my friends because they too will also be able to move to the next stages in their lives and do the things they want to do. So many things have happened over these past for years; some good and some bad but I don't regret any of the experiences I have been through because they made me who I am today. They helped my learn the things I now know today. So when May 31st comes I will know everything is real. My deposit for room and board at Morgan State will be due at that time. It seemed like everything happened so fast. I can remember my first day at summer institute. I just remember how nervous and scared I was. I remember being worried about the friends I would make and the type of teachers I would have. Even though SLA wasn't my first choice for a high school I'm glad I came here or else I wouldn't have the really good friends I have today.

La Tarea Sobre Hugo Chavez - Katherine Hunt

1) ¿Qué opinas de Hugo Chávez? ¿Qué críticas tienes de él? ¿Estás de acuerdo (in agreement) con unas de sus acciones?

Creo que Hugo Chávez es una persona quien no es oficialmente decidido de su titulo. En mi opinión Chávez es los dos, dictador y también presidente. La razón que creo en esto es por que el tiene las características de las dos cosas y eso es por que creo que esta tema es tan controversial. Hugo fue elegido por los cuidadanos de su país.Estoy de acuerdo con varios de sus acciones por que el trata de hacer lo mas bien que el puede para su país y le da libertad a los cuidadanos, pero a la misma vez el sabe que para el bien de los demás ser mas estricto. Con ser mas estricto el actúa como un dictador.

 

2) Si fueras Venezolan@, ¿votarías por él? Explica tu respuesta.

Si yo fuera Venezolana yo votaría por Hugo Chávez por que el trata de hacer todo para el bien del país. El fue elegido por los cuidadanos de su país varias veces, entonces se que el esta haciendo algo positivo que lo han elegido mas de 10 veces. 

Negative Space

Negative space is the empty space made between and around the subject of an image.


In the cut out I had to really look at the example that was given to truly understand where the negative space was. Then I just started to work on it and i was able to come out with something close to what we needed. 


In the stool drawing Mrs. Hull placed a orange paper from the ceiling to the bottom of the table. She showed us that the specs that are orange are the negative space. 


When you can see the negative space in an object it helps you get a better perspective of the whole thing that they are looking at. 


Yes, I think that when drawing things you can either get a really unique view from the negative space or you can even just get the drawing more accurate.

ME... TIE ... DOUGHTY ... WALKER

There was always these tales about a haunted house ,and a dead man who would come down from the chimney (but) piece by piece...

On a rainy night a man and his dog arrived to a small village.They were looking for shelter,he didnt have money with him ,he couldn't rent a room from any of the people there."There's a cottage not far uphill but i must warn you its been said that a ghost haunts it" said a noble old man. The man didn't care he started walking away from the old man and couldn't hear what the old man kept saying.

When he reached the cottage he thought " what could possibly haunt this place"?he walked in dried off looked around ,there was wood at the corner of the room ,he started to make a fire in the fireplace, went to the kitchen ate and fed his dog.

He laid by the fireplace took out a book and started to read...it was midnight the fire went out ,as the man got up for more wood he could hear a voice from the chimney and it said: me tie doughty walker...and the mans'dog answered!:"linchy kinchy ,colly molly, dingo dingo" and two legs dropped from the chimney,The man was shocked he just stood there in fear (frozen).

The ghost said:"Me Tie Doughty Walker" ,his dog answered:"Linchy Kinchy ,Colly Molly, Dingo Dingo" the upper part of mans' body dropped,two arms dropped connecting itself together forming a human body.The man was digusted by the smell,he wanted to run but he couldn't help but stare and wonder what would happened next.

There it was a headless rotten corpse standing in the same room as the man and his dog.One last time the ghost said (but louder)"ME.. TIE ..DOUGHTY WALKER"and the man ran to his dog and try to hold his snout,so the dog wouldn't answer back, the man was too afraid to know what happened next...but the dog managed to say "LINCHY KINCHY ,COLLY MOLLY, DINGO DINGO" a head dropped but it didnt connect to the body ,it fell on the floor.

The man was releived , he grabbed a broom heading towards the head that was facing the other direction he poked it with the broom stick and nothing "oof" the man thought as he approached it without the broom he got down on the floor ready to touch it...the head... slowly... turns around and ....AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugo Chvez tarea

1) ¿Qué opinas de Hugo Chávez? ¿Qué críticas tienes de él? ¿Estás de acuerdo (in agreement) con unas de sus acciones?
Mi opinión de Hugo Chávez no es oficial todavía. Esto se debe a que mi conocimiento  sobre el no es todavía suficientmente bueno. Las críticas tengo de él son que un buen tipo para ayudar a los pobres en Los Estados Unidos y en general. También un persona necesita  ser muy inteligente y bueno que la gente vota por él muchas veces. Hasta el momento los acciones de Hugo Chávez yo estoy acuerdo con el porque el esta ayuda muchas personas y sus propia pías. 

2) Si fueras Venezolan@, ¿votarías por él? Explica tu respuesta.

Sí yo fuera una Venezolana yo votaría por Hugo Chávez porque hasta el momento y la información yo sabe sobre el es buen y me gusta lo que está haciendo. 

Ideas

Writing a story is quite hard.  You can have tons of ideas in your head, but it seems like they never reach the paper.  You can see the pictures one by one, but you just can't draw them right.  But sometimes it's alright because better ideas come along, to replace those old ideas that didn't make it to the paper.  Sure you don't have a lot of stuff to show your friends, but luckily for you at least your room won't be cluttered with old work.  :)

Target Shoppin'

You meet some interesting people in line at Target. I was shopping with my cousins at target and we were having a particularly fun time playing with a wonder ball, and so we decided to buy it. The cashier looked at it, which an excited expression, and he said to us in such a tradition stoner voice: "Duuuuuude, could you imagine playing with this on acid man? That would be aweeeesommeee. But of course, that's the old me. I don't do that anymore." Not sure what to say, there was an awkward moment of silence and he checked his watch and continued: "Damnit, when is my break?! I need some fresh air and some nicotine. I need a cigarette." 


Target has some interesting employees. 

Native Child

When I was little, like around the age of 8 or 10, I would get super tan. I looked like a little native child. I had bruised up legs and always had two braids. I want to get that tan again. Hopefully, I won't look like a native child this time around but I'm willing to take my chances.

Chocoholic

​On Easter, as I walked downstairs in my pajamas, my mom informed me that I was too old to hunt for Easter eggs. I snorted. "Obviously."

"But, I figured we needed chocolate anyway."

She reached into the cabinet behind her and pulled out two bags of Dove eggs. Although she tried to hide it, I noticed that she didn't need to open the bag before she poured it out.  She had been sneaking them in since yesterday!
