Starting to like the same thing as......

When I was driving home a couple of days ago, for some reason I started to think about the Andy Warhol book we read last week. What stood out to me the most is when he said something about how couples do become like each other when they’re together for a long time. I have to agree with Warhol because it’s true. I noticed that my girlfriend and I are starting to like the same things. I have been with my girlfriend for the past three years and we are the complete opposite. For example, before I met my girlfriend's toy Pomeranian, I use to hate dogs for some reason but now I don’t mind them at all and I think it’s because I was not open about it until understood the joy of being around a dog. I thought this was the best example because I was not a dog person but now I understand the joy in having a dog. This also goes with your friends too because you're always around them and they might expose you to new things in life that you didn’t like in the past.

A new era



This morning I went to vote and I thought it was exciting because it was my first time voting. To be honest, I did not know what the outcome was going to be because I thought the United States was not ready for a change. Just about an hour ago my girlfriend called me and said Obama won the presidential election and I was shocked (in a good way) because the United States is going in a different direction and it's definately a year of change.For example, this year the presidential election was out of the norm because we had an African American male running for president and also a female who tried to run. It shows that the United States is ready for a change. In the past and just a couple of hours ago I did not think I would see a minority as our president.I’m glad I witness this historical event because it gives people hope of reaching their dreams and never in a million years I would think this would happen.

Think and write like Warhol and Goldsmith



Andy Warhol style
Who would want to buy a stylish I phone carrying case and the only people that would buy it is the one that really care about their cool objects. I bet they try so hard to keep up with the latest electronics and I guess they want other people to think that they are so fashionable. Looking at the 1960s gift basket brought back a lot of memories, I remember when a lot of people in the 60s did not care about their hygiene’s. How can people wear leather and suede during that and not take that many showers and their underarm would smell. To me the regular blue jeans were the best. These new expensive shoes and clothes do not make people because the people make the clothes and shoes. I don’t understand why people would go out their way and try to find the cheapest and most fashionable clothes and shoes and try to be in the “in crowd”. The people who see them will think in their head and say “Look at them they are trying so hard to look good and I bet they took a long time doing so”. Do people really need all the latest electronics and clothes in life and what is the real reason why they want it? Is it to put on a show for other people?

Kenneth Goldsmith style.
Uh people need and should buy an I pone carrying case because they do not want to drop their expensive phone and they should be prepared for the worst. If you want the best deals on the latest clothes, shoes and electronics they should go on Amazon.com and get the latest discounts. If you go get the new Playstation 3 you should be prepared to have a lot of fun. Save money on Amazon.com when you purchase the Kenneth Cole Reaction accessories because it is a great deal. The next great deal of the day is gemstone rings and if it’s under a hundred dollars and you can take an extra 30% off the original price.

Martin Arnold film

This got to be one of the weirdest films I have ever seen in my life. My first impression was that I thought the tape or DVD was in bad condition and it was just skipping and repeating on its own. As the film was playing it seem like the dad was pounding on the table to go with the beat then it looks like he was scratching a record on a turntable like a DJ would do. After watching this film in class and in YouTube I realized that people can have different perception of things because people see things differently in life.

Off the top in class activity 10/22/08.

What is this guy talking about and what is he holding in his hand. Who are all these people? I guess this guy must be important because he has a huge audience listing to him. Wow….. I don’t even know what I am doing to honest with you. I guess I have to write about this picture. I think this picture was taking in the early 1960s because it is still in black in white but I could be wrong because I don’t know even know when color photos were created. When I copy this picture from the website, I thought I saw something about how this picture was taking in a museum. This guy could be a teacher and I guess he’s teaching his class.

I am looking at a diorama but I can’t really tell what they are doing. What I know for sure is that the lady to my left is setting next to her bed and the lady to my right is also sitting next to a bed but she has a child on it. To me the woman in the left is taking care of her children because she just is I guess. Is that Abraham Lincoln to my far left, man this is getting weirder by the second and do I see a small version of Abraham on my left . Oh well, I guess I have to keep typing about this picture but I do for sure is that whoever did this diorama sis a hell of a job because it looks almost real. Man…. I type so slow compared to my other classmates because just the keyboard


Did these guys just kill the elephant! I just see them cleaning it and stuff and why did they do it. This is an odd picture because I have never seen a skinless elephant before. I just noticed something too and why is all the pictures in black and white. I am speechless about this picture because I do not know what to write about. I feel like I am in a weird movie right now because this is a random activity to do. I wonder how these guys killed the elephant, did they shot it or did they inject it with something. What happened to the ivory, I bet this greedy ass punks killed it for the ivory.

Un Chien Andalou

I thought this film was odd but interesting because we couldn’t hear anybody talk but the music played a huge role because it kind of narrated the film and it also helped me get in to it more. The film caught me off guard when I saw a couple of violent scenes and the music in the background didn’t give me the heads up like other traditional films when something bad was going to happen. The part that stood out to me the most was when one of the guys towards the end magically had two guns and how he started to shoot the other guy. It stood out to me because it just randomly happened and the two paper thing he was holding just turned in to guns.

Life is like rewind movie

After filming myself driving to school this mourning I realized that life is like a rewind movie because most people have a set routine throughout the week. For example, most people work or go to school the same time everyday from Monday through Friday and they usually do the same routine before they go to school, work or whatever they have to do. I just thought it was kind of weird thinking about it because my life is so predictable from Monday to Friday but on the weekends it’s a different story. Since something is wrong with this audio, you can picture yourself in my position and think about whats going on in your head when you're driving to your destination.
