Post Grad!

After I graduate, I plan on designing games in every single way possible. From directly out of school, I will be purely focused on making money, and leaving to school. Preferably to the Vancouver Film School, or the Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna. The field of game design has very much interested me because of the unlimited amount of creativity involved in the process. Truly there is no limit to what you can create for players to play, directly from what you envision in your mind. Through this career I hope to foster all of my creative energy and focus it into a project that includes drawing, writing. There are so many prestigious companies and studios I dream working at, EA, Lucas Arts, Bethesda, Rockstar, Treyarch, 2K, or Visceral games just to name a very small few, or perhaps to create my own studio, what a dream that would be. If for some reason it doesn't work out for me, or something pops up that holds me from it, I will surely fall back on my love of acting and film making, or perhaps becoming an archaeologist, an inventor, pilot or soldier.

I also greatly wish to travel, to explore the vastness of the world that is unknown to me. To get another perspective on life before I put it into final action, to truly discover myself and have many experiences that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. Europe, Oceania and South America play big roles in the idea, but to go anywhere fast would be what I'm looking for.

But reality is that I need pure capital before i can do anything, and as of now that is my primary goal. Making and finding money, is what i'll be doing while on my rough and very rewarding road to graduation in June, and that is a given fact.

53rd Grammy Awards!

I am quite glad that the Canadian rock band "Arcade Fire" won over the other artists. It was brilliant, a surprise that nobody expected, and it was refreshing. Arcade Fire's album "The Suburbs" provides listeners with music that entails crafty lyrics and meanings, as well as bringing rich melodies and riffs, that pleasure the ear. The music industry has been focused on pop and rap music for almost a whole decade now, and I would like to think that this sparks the revival of the real appreciation of Rock. It has stayed out of the limelight for quite sometime now, only resonating in the passionate and loving fans that hold on for the time to come when rock will truly comeback once again. Because no matter how many times pop titles repeat their repetitive choruses and meanings that often point to sultry themes on the radio over and over again, real meanings and lyrics are found in different places and will stand out. I believe that the guild realized this with Arcade Fire.

The songs vary in tempo and perspective, and the band truly experiments with a myriad of different styles in the album. "Ready to start" really highlights the album and compliments the other songs well, songs such as "We Used To Wait" is very calm and pleasing, while the flagship song "The Suburbs" play a very happy mood and song, but the lyrics tell of a different story. A paradise turning into apocalypse, or perhaps the lives spent in the suburbs that was spent before the world was supposed to end, when it didn't. This song is haunting and enchanting at the same time. A true quality of music that represents itself in every song in the album, "The Suburbs". I am glad that other people will now, because of the Grammies, hear and respect Arcade Fire, just like I am. One word to describe this album. Rich.

Doritos: The End is Written.

Flavor master stands up, her hands in the air and her head spinning, sparks fly around the room, older man and his chips fall to the floor and get sucked away up a dastardly vacuum cleaner. He is then shown with many old short failed chipmakers and their products both whom are cursed to the vacuum for all eternity. Back in the room, chips fly down from the air and the O&K maker war cries to music.

Legendary

The West. One lonely word says it all, not a direction, but a movement. A scarred landscape filled with legends, and tales that are resonated in our minds today. The story of heros, and murderers, the tales of people of the frontier, a life dominated by the unforgiving sun, and the nature of man.

The hardcore conundrum of human behavior. A land where Cheaters stole for their own greed, gangs plagued honest people, drunks lived in bars, sheriffs bribed, and politicians corrupt. But in the midst of all this dishonorable conduct stood the heroic acts of some hardworking as well as spirited individuals, like the romanticized gunfighters and bounty hunters, as well as the beautiful women, loyal deputies and upholders of the good of man. Many of these characters often portrayed in modern films. The whole lore of the West holds many stories and tales, just waiting to be fabricated for film, song and other mediums.

A time that could be categorized as a simpler one. Where the bond between a man and his horse is opaque and the constant threat of problems was faced by the people on the frontier.

Emotions dramatized, tensions extended, and justice; swift. But what is so mystifying with this whole mythos is the iconic shootout. The entangling of men's fates, the twitch of an eye, the conclusion that only one man will stand in a few seemingly frozen seconds. Their way of life dangling in their leather holsters, an age governed by the six shooter. Truly a time that consisted of such emotion, and drama, as well as heroics and treachery. The stuff that legends are made of, ones that stand the test of time, and what a legendary time indeed.
