The power of a good story.

It really is amazing how a story can impact our lives. The narrative can be through a film, or book, screen play or even spoken word. It is beautiful how the translation of a series of events can be shared between human minds as a story. I feel like we take the entire process of story telling for granted. It doesn't matter if the works are fiction or non-fiction, but I feel as if it is a dying art, just like handwriting is being replaced by typing.

While there are may brilliant pieces of art still released today, the worlds media seem to just be focusing more on quantity over quality (just like the article about EA earlier). We are seeing more mindless movies about just explosions and action, combined with horrible stories and plots. I feels as if it is going to be hard to find another magical experience that truly entices the imagination of the audience. Works such as the earlier Disney movies, Star Wars, the classics, may never be seen again as new ideas.

It seems that society is becoming a thing that craves a short sense of excitement and then mindlessly wandering off, instead of having a narrative; a true experience that will blow one's mind. Short films that we will only remember for a few days and then that will be forgotten by next week instead of the films or books such as Harry Potter that has inspired an entire generation into reading, or using their imagination.

The Road to becoming a famous Youtuber - 1

This year, I am finally starting my goal of creating a successful Youtube brand, and learning to master the basics of the industry. For the name of the channel, I wound up choosing "Supersonicclank." The username that I created around 2009 for my first time playing Battlefield 2 online.

While I am still working on most of the admin, art and paperwork side of things, I am, however, pleased to announced that the main focus will be on gaming, tutorials and a few other snippets. A VLOG channel may be started down the line, but I've always wanted to do one!

I will share more updates as they come, but I can forward you to the new beta of supersonicclank.weebly.com  to get a more clearer understanding of what's going on! Cheers!

Slam Poetry: Ode to Socks

Here's a random / funny slam poem I made and preformed for my writers craft class:

Socks. People wear them!

For too many times, you are taken for granted, my dear sock. Oh! How thou makuth my feet comfy, luxurious and warm, yet I simple throw you into the laundry room at the end of the day, not a single word said. Your fluffiness is beyond measure as you care for me, and love me without issue. Even as I throw in the dreaded dryer tissue.

You cover my feet as you cover my heart with your soft, innocent skin, and today, I thank you for thou friendship.

For all the times I have abused thee, you have never abandoned. Just like a pirate and his loyal bird, or a knight and his trusty steed, you have always followed me on adventures throughout my life. Through the hot, cold, wet and dry, whatever, you have always stayed, and filled your home on my feet.

You are low, yet so high as I walk forward in life, with your assistance. While the going can go rough, and the shoes may stink, I wish to let you know, my heart stinks even more, of realizing how much I took thee for granted. For the many wash cycles of life, day after day, the fluffiness of life may depart, yet you continue through hell to hug me. I put all of my weight of my life on you, but you always get through even when I do not. A you fill the empty spaces between my shoe and my foot, my empty parts of my heart are filled.

And your brothers, and sisters, throughout the world. Different sizes, colours, styles and shapes. Let them know this message of gratitude. 

Thank you, my dear sock, thank you. And I love you.

Naked Yoga?!

I just found the idea interesting. Not because people are naked, but just that it really does give away that last feeling of "ego" so then one can truly learn to relax and focus more. I love how people after naked yoga accept their bodies more often than regular people because they must shed their last hints of material wealth and just take a moment to be nothing else, but human. That's a little bit of philosophy for today. Any thoughts?!

Love loops (triangles)

You know those times when You REALLY like one person, but that person you like REALLY likes this other person, but that other person doesn't like them, but the one person still likes them? Yeah. It sucks.

Sometimes you wish that it was a perfect world and everything worked out. That every time someone falls in love, that their opposite understands, and shares the feeling; that we are all magnets attracting the other halt.

One could avoid the pain, and the sadness when you find out the person you like doesn't feel the same way about you, but asks you for help getting this other person to fall in love with them, but that other person has the yearning to be with another person. This loop just goes on and on. Sometimes, you find a hole in the cycle, sometimes, things work out and its just like a wonderful, loving scene from a book. But I have not yet experienced that for myself.

My very own workout plan

I am fortunate enough to have a friend that is going into nursing, so I had her help me develop a workout plan for me! It is just a reminder to myself how lucky I really am to have amazing and talented friends. I am very excited to start it, and we are both possibly going to be working in the same gym so she can show me the ropes.

First time as the PIC in a Cessna 172

Flying away in my first conversion flight!

It felt nice getting current on another aircraft. While feeling a little more slower and sluggish than a Diamond Katana, the Cessna 172 is by far a great aircraft for learning on. This also marked the first time I flew around my home town, so now I can take family and friends flying more easier.
