Andy Warhol class blog

Andy warhol

I have always thought about the excitement of getting married. There are phenominal pictures of beautiful wedding bands. It stirrs up thoughts and hopes and dreams of mine that I never thought I could feel. I have always wondered who I might marry and if I would ever marry another after him. I don’t believe in divorse myself, but I believe that it all explains itself in due time. I think beautiful things are just meant to happen the way that they do.

But I also don’t believe that people who don’t try will get everything they want. You have to work for anything extra you may want. A man once told me that I will never get anywhere in life unless I yell kick and scream for it. So I do that in my own way. I am a business woman. That is who I am and who I will always be. I will never change my persons for someone else. I will never become a camellion as others do. I stand strong as I am and will never change. I will never change.

Who is to tell you who to be. I wonder if there is such a person. Who should be allowed to be that intermixed into your life that you would take their guiding directions no questions asked. Does this person actually exist? Would they do everything they could to help and benefit you, or would they be like everyother human on this earth and in some way benefit themselves? Who is to answer the questions that I ask? Who should have that power? Why so many questions? When will they stop? Where will they lead?

Who is Andy Warhol? Where does he get his insite and experience. Where does he get his drive and enthusiasum. On this site there are pictures of Darth Vador from Star wars. Who is our worlds Darth Vador? What would Warhol say about him?

Passage a l'acte

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drDPbKquQVw

I unfortunately didn't get the chance to finish this movie in class because i had another class to attend but when i got home i got to watch the Youtube clip that Joe sent to us in our e-mails. Something i would like everyone to try would be to listen to this movie without watching it. Close your eyes and just listen to the sounds. I tried this and it actually (i don't know if it is just the way my mind works) makes sense. You can hear completely different words than what they were saying in the first place. You can make out a whole different scene in your head. It almost turned into a music of some sort. I would love to hear peoples feed back on this and what kind of scenes people come up with!

Un Chien Andalou

I don't believe that i was understanding this movie the way i was supposed to. Especially this beginning part, it really kind of "freaked me out". It was just something i wasn't expecting. But like you learn in life sometimes thing don't exactly turn out or happen the way you expect them to. This movie really moved in my opinion around that word we learned about closer to the beginning of the quarter "drifting". It really drifted around and went to complete randomness. At first i tried to pick out a pattern from it all but realized that there was no pattern to find. It was really interesting to imagine all the different ways this film could have gone and trying to figure out why these certain paths were chosen. I don't know a lot about Un Chien Andalou but it is definitely something that i would enjoy to learn more about.

The Word "Personality"

I typed in the word personality in google and chose the first picture that stood out to me. It's interesting to see what some people depict of the word personality. There are so many different personalities out there. Theres the extroverted type or the introverted type. There is the sarcastic type and the mellow type. I could go on forever.

i always hear people talking about someone having no personality. Well i don't think that that is possible. Who is to say what personality is, therefor nobody can judge either way. I see way too many people make quick assumptions and judgements about peoples personalities before they even know the person. For example this picture. I could say that this bride looks very happy and quiet therefore she ha a mellow laid back persona. But what if she is screaming inside her head, getting stressed out about the cake not being there and her dress being wrinkled. Then what would you say... is she still a mellow laid back girl?

What about the gentleman who is meditating. He looks very peaceful. But what if he is only meditating because he is court ordered to go to anger management classes and this is what they are telling him to do. People often make quick assumptions with out getting the facts. It would be interesting to me to see what kind of assumptions people make about me.

Life Chance to have a Sister or a Brother

The brother sister bond is a very close one. Here the older brother tries to pass on his knowledge to his little sister. The brotherly instinct is to try and protect his sister from any kind of hurt. His parents I'm sure instilled very thorough family values in him when he was just a child. She is very apprecitative to his attentiveness. They are so close. When they grown older they will still be side by side. He will be there for her first date, to make sure she comes home safe. She will be there through his first break up and comfort him and tell him that everything will be alright. They will be there for each other when their parents decided that they are old enough to know that they will be getting a divorce. They will then be their own parents and help each other through these times.

These are typical experiences that family's go through together. They will both be there to celebrate her graduation from art school and his graduation from medical school. She will be there when he looses his first patient. And He will be there when she doesn’t get cast in her first play. It’s a bond that nobody can break. Through heart break and happiness, through family troubles and job woes. Family ties like these just don’t go away.

I am an only child. I wish and wish and wish that I had someone to share a bond like this with. But then I think about my mother. My mom is my absolute best friend. She feels like a sister to me. I have always been really mature for my age so she really didn’t have all that much to parent me on. She has always just been a friend and a sister more than a authority figure such as a mom. I love having that kind of bond with someone. I never really realized I had this until I almost lost it. My mother had a cardiac arrest and went into a coma for 12 days. They said that they didn’t think that she was going to make it. It didn’t know what to do. But by some miracle she made it out and after a few years of therapy and physical rehabilitation she is completely fine! How amazing is that!

The minds of Children and Adults

Children swarming. The exhibit they see excites their senses. There's pushing and shoving to be the first one to see each amazing exhibit. They are in awe and what they see. A gigantic bear. Real! But stuffed… but that’s okay it still used to be real. The emotions that run through their heads are extreme. The thrill of being somewhere out side of the classroom during school hours. The nervousness of this huge creature and how it used to be able to kill little children like them. The hot breath on my neck from my classmates behind me. Seeing something I have never seem before.

Children have such a different mind set than adults do. They are way more open an have twice the size of imagination. They may look at this exhibit and think of a story they just read or they may leave and at recess the next day role play the part of the bear and turn it into a story of their own. Where adults look at this bear with knowledge. They see the history behind it and don’t trust it. They know exactly where the bear has been and where it would have gone if it hadn't been killed when it did. Some may feel remorse for having killed a living creature while others may feel relieved by it because they are now out of danger. But the point is that adults think about these exhibits completely differently than children do. Their imaginations done roam… they merely think of the facts. That’s all the imagination we have now that we have gone through the educational system. Though we still have some what of an imagination, it is sort of… how would you say it….. “cut short”.

Loneliness. The thought of going nowhere and everywhere all at once. Where to go first, who to talk to first, who to see first. They are so many choices. How does one become lonely? Loneliness comes at you like a bear to honey. It comes and it sticks till it sucks everything out of you. What can you take out of your loneliness? Who is to say exactly what it is. I was born a fraternal twin but my brother died at birth. People tell me that I'm supposed to feel lonely for the rest of my life, like some part of me died with him. I can’t tell the difference. I guess I would only know if I had lived with my brother and then lost him. How are you supposed to know what you lost if you never had it.

There are so many different stages of loneliness. This man looks like he is searching for something, what I'm not sure. It seems like he is willing to give up everything on his back to find it. Where will be go to find what he is looking for? Is it a person, a calling or a way of life? Where do you start. He is taking everything he owns with him for he knows he may never come back. Sometimes when I get lost in thought I feel like I should just pick up and go…. Find my true calling, find exactly where I'm supposed to be. How do I know that I am destined to live in Washington state for the rest of my life. How do I know that I am destined to be a criminal prosecuting attorney. How do I know I'm not meant for something completely different. Where do you start looking for these answers?

WHAT A SUPRISE!

So this morning i woke up expecting just another normal day. Get up, eat breakfast, go to class. Get there at aroud 8:15 to miss traffic, have a little time to grab coffee and read. Go to my three classes, get out around 3:30 and then go to work. Thats the typical monday that always happens... or so I thought.

When I walked outside my apartment at about 8am i got in my car and turned it on. But something felt off... a little "tilted". I turned off my car and got out. And to my suprise that back drivers seat tire was completely flat!! I find out latter that i must have driven over a nail the night before on my way home.

Well that just started out that "non-everyday" events for my monday. Well my car is brand new and i havent had time to go get a spare tire (not that i would know how to change the tire if i did have it). So i had to call AAA, they towed my car to a Good Year around the corner so they could change my flat tire.

So over $200 latter i was finally on my way to school just barley getting to my second class on time! WOW what an interuption to my Normal Everyday Life! Grrrrrr!

CANASTA!!!!!!

So my mom and I played a game called Canasta. I absolutely love this game. Whenever I play this game I get lost and totally tune out everything around me. It has been my mom and my "thing" for as long as I can remember.

This game really is all about strategy. When you should put cards on the board or when you should keep them in your hand. You have to time it just right or you could miss out on a great opportunity. My playing style is "hording". I hord all my cards in my hand until the last second. This style can either play to my advantage or it can really hurt me in the long run. One way, is that nobody will know what cards I have so they could play one I really need. On the other hand somebody could "go out" and I would have to eat all the points that were left in my hand. Is all about timing.

Games like Canasta really can be compared to everyday life. You can play like like you do Canasta. For example like a new job, you can tell the ALL your skills right when you get hired to get looked apon in a better light, or you could hord some of those skills and when you go for a promotion show off the skills they never new you had. Its all the way you play the game of life. Personalities are all different therefore we all choose different paths to take.

"Quote" from The Everyday

"But why the everyday now?" (page 13)

The book is asking why all the fuss about the "everyday" now? Why not before, why not in 5 years, why not in 100 years? WHY NOW? I think that people before were in so much awwww of all the finer things in life. For example the Elizabethian ages. The big hair, the big dresses, the large glamorous balls, the expensive jewlery and all the fuss if you didnt have these things. Now people are more intuned to what is the "norm", what is just there. Thats why people are looking at Everyday life more often because they have become more accustom to all the fancy shmancy things and are now attracted to the things they see everyday.

We can use for example the kind of people you are attracted to. Guys always drool over the really tan, blonde, big boobed models in the magazine and yet when they look for a girl to date that is not the type at all. They look for more of a down to earth natural beauty. (This is just my views and what i have seen, im sure there are plenty of guys out there who would love the big boob, blonde model!)

Randomness

So over this past weekend and last begining of this week i have been really sick. I hate laying in bed for so long, but sometimes you have to.... but im not sure if anyone else has this happen to them, but if your in one place to long do you start noticing little details you never would have noticed before?

Well i have lived in the same apartment for about 7 months now and have had the same view off my balcony the entire time. (my apartment hasn't magically shifted somehow). Well i was sitting out there for about an hour (which i have never done) to try to get some fresh air because i havent been outside my apartment all week. I was sort of staring off into space when i noticed that the apartment building right across from me was blue. I dont know why that hit me as so strange but it did. All the other apartments are tan and brown and very nuetral, yet this one was blue. And it wasnt even a dull blue, i mean it was BLUE!

Has anyone else noticed something like that? Something they had been looking at for a long time and then finally realized that it was very odd?
