It’s Been Too Long…
Has it really been over a month since I’ve been on here? My life has been so consumed with with other things…. And I feel like I could write a whole book about everything thats happend and all the crazy emotions running through my head…
let’s see, where to start…
First and foremost, school is crazy. As easy as it is, I feel like I never have ANY free time because my classes constantly have me on my toes doing something every second. My trig teacher has been absent for the past 4 1/2 weeks due to a major back surgery… I mean, I’m totally chill with having an awesome sub, and having practically NO homework, but I must admitt, I truelly would like to learn something before I die next year in pre-cal. Honors physics…. ughh. I barely passed honors chem, so I’m not sure why I let them talk me into taking honors phys… anyways, I’ve known since the class started in January that sometime this year I would have a HUGE paper due… Turns out it’s unlike any science project I’ve had before, and is on siege weaponry… What the crap?!?! How am supposed to write a16page paper on SIEGE WEAPONRY?!?!?! So I have 8 weeks to do this project, if I write approx 2 pages a day, yeah, you see how that works… Well, I sit down occassionally and type and such… thinking, I’ve got plenty of time, no worries….. It was due the Tues after I got back from spring break, don’t worry, I turned it in on time, and finished a kick butt project board that looked just like a castle, with a drawbridge and all!! I am currently awaiting my grade…. Singers… Gosh, don’t even get me started… I’m not even gonna talk about it, other than this is our busiest time of year, and it’s SUPER stressfull…. Spanish and Carpentry are my super easy classes, the hardest thing about spanish is remembering to color a picture for homework…..
Then to make things EVEN complicateder, I just started a new job, that will not be named due to stalking purpuses…. but I’m a waitress, and yeah, pretty much an easy job for the most part. We just changed our hours, so now I don’t get home till around 10 every night and STILL have to manage homework, clean room, and whatever being a teenager requires….
Over spring break I got to stay at Opryland Hotel, in Nashville with some friends from DECA (business/ marketing class/ awesomeness) And so it was crazy good. Great experience!! You should go there sometime!! Minus the fact that food is pretty pricey, its beautiful, and amazing. I spent around 70 dollars in food for 3 nights and 4 days, its not that I eat alot, cause I don’t thats just how much everything is!! But the whole time I was there, I still had the unfinished phys project in the back of my mind…. lol.
On top of that, I still haven’t caught completley up on my sleep, even though my parents let me sleep till 11 today…. and I went and saw the hunger games at the midnight premere on the 23rd, GREAT movie, make sure you read the books first!!
I have soooooooooo much more to talk about, but I think I’m actually begining to get a little sleepy, so I’m gonna go to bed now!! If you actually read all this, I’m not crazy, you should know, you’re a blogger too….
This is the most amazing video that shows the power of branding and a good logo design. A five year old goes through some images of different brands, and describes each of them. It is fairly obvious to see what brands he connects with, (Apple, Starbucks, etc.) and which he does not (Motorola, Jaguar, etc.).
From the brands he didn’t recognize, like jaguar, that is okay. Why would a high end luxury car brand want a child knowing them? That might be the case, but that same child knew the mercedes logo. Which luxury brand will this child grow up dreaming of owning?
This is the kind of raw data that all companies covet. (If only the advertising industry could get such raw and unfiltered data out of all demographic groups.)
Until next time marketers!
That was so adorable!!! I don’t know why, I kinda made me teary eyed!!! So cute!
I want my hair like this for prom!
I am so cold right now, and that looks so warm.
I hope he won after that
“Teenage Dream” by White Hinterland
Originally by Katy Perry
I kinda like this!
Using trash bags, unused grocery bags and plastic sheets, Pakistani artist Khalil Chishtee creates life-sized figures racked with emotion. He uses these materials as a metaphor for “recycling our identities” or braving the problems of life.
“For the first time I have used trash or recycled bags as my medium because no matter how many times I recycle plastic, it will remain plastic only, it will not change, so why do we change after being replaced?,” he says. “We change names, religion, language and even emotions. Why can’t we also remain ‘human beings’ that we essentially are?”
Look through his various works and you’ll feel a sense of sadness wash over you. His torn, withering figures appear hopeless, as if they’re struggling, trying to cope with the insurmountable problems of everyday life.
That’s kinda beautiful.
