"The perks of being a Wallflower"

One of my first book to ever read and actually enjoy for my own entertainment was "the perks of being a wallflower". This book brought tears of happiness and sadness. The book is by Stephen Chbosky and he writes the book like a variety of letters. The letters are anonymous but he gives the name of Charlie to the character. Charlie is a troubled high school student going through his only friends death. He is very worried that he is not going to fit in high school. He actually fits in with the theater scene from the school. He goes through his everyday life until one day he realises something is not normal with him.

FEED

After finishing reading "Twighlight", I've taken upon myself to read "FEED". FEED was writen by M.T. Anderson. This book is also a science fiction book. The book is also very futureristic. The main characters name is Titus. Titus is troubled with his feed which is this chip installed in his brain. This chip can actually work as a computer once you log in. After Titus goes to the moon for his vacation hes chip is hacked into and has caused some danged.

White painting

Controversial image created by Robert Rauschenberg was "white painting". He just basically got a blank canvas and exposed it to the world as art. This caused people to become confused. Usually when you think of art you think colors and images. This piece was just blank what he wanted to show was that even a white image can be art. The modernist era brought us anything can be art anything that is new could also be art

Twilight

I recently finally finished reading one of by favorite books "twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. The book is an amazing science fiction/ vampire/ drama based book. The main character's name is Bella. She falls in love with a vampire high school student called Edward. Edward doesn't bite humans he bites from animals blood. He consider himself "vegetarian vampire". Bella is stuck in this town in Washington were is just twilight day and night. The title of the book comes from the towns appearance.

Andy Warhol

Andrew Warhola or better know as Andy Warhol a famous artist of the 60s ,70s and is still known today. Warhol created a new a new way of an art technique which was called hyper reality. Hes creation of Marilyn Monroe was one the most famous work ever created by him. Andy used in a portrait of Marilyn Monroe loud colors such as yellow for the hair. He used blue strong color for the eyes. He also made Campbell soup creation were he got the idea out of a supermarket stand stacked with Campbell soups.

The Dinner Party

I was amazed to see Judy Chicago's "The Dinner Party" exhibition. In her artistic point of view she is consider a feminist artist. In her exhibition her master piece its an upside down triangular table. To the sides of cloth of table are names of famous woman writers. In top of the table are the anatomy parts of the uterus of the women body. The upside down triangle represents the female symbol.

Streams-Of-Consciousness

I was recently reading about a way of witting called "stream of consciousness. This way of writing is stating down all unedited thoughts of the character. Virginia Woolf and James Joysce exceeded to creating story as such. In one book called "freshwater: a comedy", by Woolf she writes about her great aunt Julia. In this book its a comedy and the characters are basically allowed to express their inner thoughts.

Ron Mueck

Ron Mueck is known for his realistic sculptures. He was born and raised in London. He began working for a television program making the crafts for kids on the show. What Mueck didn't like about some sculptures was that from an angle they didn't look real. What he set his mind to do was create sculptures that would look realistic from any angle. He now has expositions all over the world to see his work. My favorite sculpture that I've ever seen is the one that he created called "boy". In my view of the sculpture the boy is bending down almost sad. The sculptures size is 490 x 490 x 250 cm .

Guillaume Yann Tiersen

One of my favorite composers of all times Guillaume Yann Tiersen otherwise know as just Yann Tiersen. He is a French composer known for his french folk music and his amazing piano skills. One his best know song is "La Valse d'Amelie". He made the soundtrack for one of my favorite movies of all times "Amelie". The director of this movie Jean-Pierre Jeunet and well the movie is french and has english subtitles. He is one of the main composers of Europen Classical music. He uses a variety of instruments to give it a sence of softness like a toy piano, the melodica, and xylophone.

Juno

Amazing movie, one of the best that has come out this year "Juno". The director is Jason Reitman the creator of Ghostbuster II. Juno is a troubled girl in high school. Her world becomes tragic when she finds out she is pregnant. Surprisingly, the first time i saw the trailer for this movie i thought it was going to be one of the worst movies of the year. What i learned is don't always trust the trailers to show you how the movie really is. Well to continue with the movie information Juno is now pregnant but has decided to give the baby up for adoption. Paulie Bleeker "the cheese to her macaroni" is the father of the baby but is completely in love with Juno. At the end my favorite scene they are both singing a song together and playing guitar called "Anyone Else But You" by the moldy peaches.

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"

I recently saw this movie called "The Diving Bell and butterfly" by the director Julain Schnabel. The movie took me by surprise and I haven't seen a movie like this one in a long time. The movie was about a man who use to work for Elle magazine in France had recently suffer from a massive stroke. He couldn't move any part of his body due to this and he could only see through one eye. The only way of him communicating was through a sort of blinking method. What he did was blink twice for yes and once for no. The doctors a therapist would recite a series of letters from the alphabet until he would blink twice for the letter and make words in that matter. The movie was completely in french but I still fell the pain that he was going through.

Why men should not write about women, just like women shouldn't write about men...

In my opinion i just hate reading any story or book about a male gender author writing about what women want. The same goes for women writing about how the mind of a man works. I also hate having to sit and watch movies about it. Only men know what men want or what men are really thinking. Women break their heads over the mystery of the male mind. I don't think when it comes down to writing a book or making a movie we are well aware of how different all women are. Just like i feel the same way for men, but they know and they bond with the idea of thinking that they are such a mystery when really we are all the same way.

"Never waist more than an inch of make up for any man"

My mom has always given me advice ever since I was younger. I usually don't like to listen because I don't like to be a part of reality. I bought a couple of months ago make-up from l
Lancome which by the matter of fact is really expensive these days. My mom tells me to only use it on very special occasions so I did. This night was the night i was suppose to see my boyfriend i hadn't seen in about a week. He promised he would come pick me up and we would go catch a movie or something. I waited until 12 am at night he never showed up. I was really disappointed that i had spend all this time getting ready using really expensive mascara and just having to wash it off by 1 am. His excuse was "I am sorry i had forgotten, my friends took me away". I don't really remember what i was most upset about the fact that he forgot or the fact that i waisted my time on getting ready?

Amedeo Modigliani

Amendeo Modigliani was an Itlalian artist of the later 18th century. He was born in Italy but began his career as a sculptor and painter in France. He is to me a true insperation. His painting consisted of images of people without a clear view or without any eyes. One of his last paintings was one created of his wife. In this painting he made eyes for her for the first and only time. Unfortanetly, he was an alcoholic, he only lived to be 35 years old.

"A Chase" Reaction

The essay story by Annie Dillard was one of the stories I can mostly relate to. In this story she writes about when she was a kid and she was almost one of the boys. She remembers doing all the things usually boys do like playing football and making pranks. She writes about one time that she had an impact in her life. This particular day she was hanging around with the boys and throwing snow balls at some of the cars passing by. One of the snow balls hit the windshield of a car and a man came out and started to chase her and another boy. I can just imagine how scared she most of felt. When the man finally catches up with her he just simply walked away. I remember things similar to this happen to me when i was younger and in my case I learned to never do it again, but I felt really excited at the same time. Doing something dangerous almost brought me to an other extend of life. In the story she mention that if she were to die she would die happy. In her case the situation felt like a rush and she liked it.

Life

What is life to you?

A couple of days ago, I didn't really know what direction my life was going. What life is to me is such a broad subject. The only thing I can say that life to me is not to have a big expensive house or labrador to take care of my Mercedes. What I believe life is to me is finding a person you want to share your laughs and tears with. Life to me is becoming successful in my own way. Being successful to me is having a career that you enjoy doing for 80 years or more. I build my own success by doing what makes me happy. My life is having my family always around me to support me. Life to me is also caring for my mother and my grandmother that have been there for me all my life. I have done things in my life that I regreat doing, but that is also part of my life. I have learned from the mistakes i have made in the past and that is what keeps me going to my life in the future.
