What's with all the fucking elephants?

Please excuse the title, I found a photo of me on Myspace yesterday and the caption was the above^^. I thought it seemed adequate. It was either that or a wonderful Joss Whedon quote, inspired by Bridgette Brown herself. I laugh quietly. That reminds me, I need to watch more Buffy...

Oh, and another interesting fact. Adam Baldwin (not related to any of the Baldwin brothers, though probably just as famous) stars in Full Metal Jacket, an interesting take on Vietnam, made in 1987 I also discovered yesterday. Well the funny thing is that Adam Baldwin also stars in Joss Whedon's Firefly a slight obsession of Miss Brown and I and well, this song popped into my head: Click here.

I'm writing again. I know I've said that loads of times but I actually kind of am. I wrote a few pages the other day for an old idea of mine. I can't remember if I've discussed it before? Well, it's similar in the ways of a magical school to Harry Potter, I do know that. But since it's near impossible to get an original idea these days, you'll have to forgive me. Anyway it's different. I'm trying to base it on different aspects of magic, similar to that on Buffy. Complicated spells and circles of blood, that sort of thing.

Well not exactly, but whatever...

I'm trying to become inspired by art as well. I have a How to Draw Fantasy Landscapes and Cityscapes book which I've had for forever. It's very handy, even though I'm crap at art.

I could only find a small version of this piece which is extremely disappointing.
Stupid google images. There was Harry Potter, Twilight and True Blood. But nothing that I wanted at this very second. Anyway, if I wanted to include some period scene involving vampires or a similar creature to vampires, this would be how I would imagine it. The light is perfect. One thing I hate about my art is I just can't do light. It just doesn't work. I get lucky in photography and film sometimes but ugh! It's very annoying.

Oh, and I never new this was book. That's extremely odd as well. Thought I'd point that out.


The next image doesn't have anything to do with anything.I just like it. It's from a 1940's film called Shadow of a Doubt and well, it's just awesome. You can't deny it. It also has nothing to do with anything but what the heck, I couldn't care less.

It actually reminds me that of late, I and Bridgette have not had a movie night recently. Did I tell you my current life ambition is to become a successful film maker? No, well okay.

Sorry for the lack of philosophy thinking of late. I just haven't been in the mood. But I do love art. As in, actually love it. And whoever captured this is just pure genius.

Photography

Please excuse me my while I cough up my -

Oh, I'm sorry, I almost said a dirty word. That's not good at all. Apparently saying dirty words is bad for your health. Well, I know you shouldn't say them, especially little kids and short people, but I kind of doubt that rumour.

By the way, that was the beginning of what could of been a lengthily rant about a certain someone at my school. I won't tell you the name, but she really peeves me off nowadays, especially now that shes -

Won't tell you that. Might give it away.

I was at Bridgette's place today so she could borrow my father's camera for our photography assignment. It was very dramatic and it was a little awkward. She was trying to get photos of her little sister Eleanor but it turned out to be much more difficult then planned as they began fighting and yelling and eventually Eleanor burst into tears. Today must have just been a bad day.

We're trying again on Saturday since I'm staying over. A night full of movies and ginger beer methinks.

Have I ever mentioned that Eleanor is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met? She's mine and Bridgette's Piper.

Don't you just love reading things and having no clue what they're about?

Here's some photo's I did for my assignment. It's supposed to be from the point of view of an inanimate object. I chose a mirror.We had to take a series of photographs telling a story from the eyes of that objects. These aren't edited, just warning you.


The nerdy student arrives home from school. Like all teenagers, she examines her imperfections in the mirror.



Slowly, she turns from a typical nerd, to a slightly...less nerdy teenager.




She gets ready for the party tonight.



Gosh, what to wear!

Sorry about the lack of philosophical knowledge tonight. I didn't have much enlightening remarks to say. I tried to explain to someone that God is dead yesterday. He didn't quite believe me, insisting that God was still around. I described that the great philosopher Nietzsche said this and he declared he had no idea who this person was and went on about all these religion like people. I walked away.
