9/22/10 Assignment

I decided not to do the inspiration assignment because what inspires me is always different. What I mean is that one of the main thing that inspires me is courage, but I'm bias on that. When courage inspires me it is when soldiers going into fire fights knowing what could happen, having family they want to go back to and still going through what they signed up for. When people conquer their fear of something like animals, germs, heights, etc. that doesn't inspire me because it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me, although it's good when people conquer their fears.

What I did do for my assignment for this week was take a bunch of pictures of the area downtown. The reason I did this was to see what i could make out of all those pictures and to see how creative I could get and this is what I got.

Who Am I?

So for this project I was a bit confused on what I was going to bring to class so first I had to think who I am. What most people who know me know that I am a pretty nice guy who like to make people smile and be happy. On the inside though I can be really mean and aggressive if you give me a reason to be. So to represent that I will bring.... something to class.

Bliss

I'm honestly not 100% sure what I'm suppose to be putting in this blog so I'm going to ramble about what I think it is. When I first read that need to decide what our final project is it made me nervous. The reason for that is that I have a hard time thinking of good assignments for myself in this class. So I gave it some thought and what might be an idea worth doing is just going about my day then finding some random object that peaks my interest then writing a fake story about how it got there. The whole point of it is not to just say hey theres a trash can it got there because someone put it there. It would be something like a meteor came down to earth that wards off ninjas of something like that so they put it there because that area was know to have many ninja sightings. What I'm trying to accomplish is to not state the obvious as to why something is there and make it interesting and maybe improve my creative thinking.

Response to class 11/1/10

Well when I first read the assignment I thought I read it wrong so I reread it and was excited. Then I realized I could have stayed home then was a bit annoyed but overall it didn't bug me to much. I didn't do other homework in that time either. I just hung out with my girlfriend until my next class started. As for the assignment it will be tricky for me because I'm not that good at thinking of my own work to do unless I know there is a purpose to it.

What is it?

From first look I thought it was just a bunch of mail but then it seemed like just a bunch of jokes. This assignment was probably so we would have to think outside of the box. It is like a parody of actual items like advertisement and rules. Another reason this was assigned was probably to mess with are heads like usual. Other then that I'm not sure what the point was.

Response to class 10/25

The class was OK today but not as good as usual. It was cool to see what some other people did for there assignment like the i pumpkin and the website. The discussion about why the one female didn't want to show her project didn't seem important to me. The best thing about class was the moving book until I realized how simple it was and the junk mail or whatever it was annoyed me because I couldn't figure out what it is all about.

Whats Up

For my exercise it was kind of like the walking backwards exercise. What I did was simply look up where there were other people. The point of this was to show how people are curios of what is going on around them. One of the times I was at Camp Atterburry and was looking up for a good while. After a while people came up to me and asked what I was looking at. I didn't say anything for a while and they started to look up to figure it out. I then walked away and one person called me stupid, I think that person realized what I was doing. Another time I was downtown and basically the same thing happened but there was only one person who asked me what I was looking at and I told him up he kept looking and then walked away. This experiment was to just show how people are usually wants to know what is happening around them. I also noticed that some people just looked up for a second and just kept walking so I'm guessing those people were semi curious but didn't really care or just figured I was crazy.
