The Most Interesting Person in the World!

The most interesting person in the world that I personally know, or rather have had the opportunity to get to know was my Uncle Michael Vera. Every single time that me and my dad would go visit my Uncle, he would always have a story or two to tell based upon his past life. I could always just sit down and listen to both my Uncle and Father go back and forth on their child hood memories. My uncle would always know how to make me laugh and crack a joke, in between his stories. Their was never a dull moment when talking to him. His life experiences gave him the opportunity to teach me about the many different aspects on life and what it has to offer. My uncle Michael would always give me advice whether it had been, how to fix my basketball shot, how to fix my baseball swing, or how to talk to girls; I knew I could always learn something new when I would talk to my Uncle Michael. Unfortunately those times are now gone, when I could hear my uncle talk about his childhood and growing up in the rugged and tough city of Compton. My uncle passed away last year, he was and will always be The Most Interesting Man in the World.

My Anti Drug

My Anti Dug and the way that I soothe my mind, body, and soul is through the passion of listening  and writing music. The way that  am able to allow the music to flow in and out of my mind, keeps my head under pressure. I love to express my feelings and my thoughts through the composition of music. I always relate the music that I am listening to and writing to, straight back to what I am going through in my own life. Whenever I put on my headphones and zone out, I picture myself in an empty room with nothing but a microphone, and I am the only one in the room being heard. The music that flows through my body, creates a sense of self worth that is helpful to distract the outside world. The way that I am able to view the music, is the same way that I am able to view the everything else in the world. I am able to dissect everything including the beats, the musical sounds, and the lyrical aspects down to the simplest form in which I am able to relate back to my own individual life. This creates my Anti Drug that keeps me away from everything else in the world that wants to bring me down. Music and the lyrical abilities one can add to it, is the only thing that keeps me up from it all.

What I Learned from An Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore's documentary of the Inconvenient Truth, had a very skeptical take on the topic of Global Warming as a whole. Many of the different topics that he discussed had an impact on the world and the human  nature of the whole reason for speaking. One thing that stood out to me the most is the possibility of the sea levels and how they could possibly rise in the near future. This problem may arise do to the melting of the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica. When the ice caps melt, the oceans could over flood and cause bordering cities to go down under it all. This may cause a scare into the eyes of all that have a possibility of this happening to them. Although these predictions were made in the years of 2005, the rising of the sea levels have been rising little by little every single year. This may have an effect on over a million of people, proper measure should have been taken immediately, but since they have not been taken. Measure of saving the polar bears, and ice animals, as well as the lives of humans needs to be taken now. Another surprising subject that stood out to me the most is the ignorance a lot of individuals have been taking on the topic. Evidence is indeed needed to take the correct steps, but Gore has given all the evidence that is needed, but political officials as well as environmentalists still do not believe the predictions made by Al Gore.

My Film Job

The job that I would like to take part in my production company would have to be the job of the producer or the casting director.  I would like to be a producer in order to make sure that everyone is doing their job properly and is able to bring out the best in their abilities and create a film that would be well presentable.  I would not like to be the boss of everyone that is in my production company, but rather a person who oversees all the simple work, and look at all the underlying context of everyone’s individualistic work.  I will make sure everyone has greed upon the idea, the script, as well as the whole production setting. I want everyone to be able to agree on every idea in the production company rather than I have the final say so. If it does come down to that, I would be more than happy to give the final word. I would also like to be a casting director, because I would like to choose specific people for specific acting roles, and see how each person fits directly into that role. I want to be the one to choose the right person for the job, and know that; the person would be able to perform to the best for their abilities for that specific acting role. If the actors do not fit, then the movie will not run as smooth as planned on the screenplay. 

My Review of The Elephant Man

The Elephant man was a very interesting, disturbing, and uplifting movie in many different ways. In each one of the distinctive categories the director David Lynch was able to take his own thoughts, twist them all around and create the movie The Elephant Man. The Director was able to tie into the movie what he believed, we as human beings are doing to the mother earth. The theme that Lynch is conveying in the film is that we are not only hurting her, but also “raping” mother earth without any remorse. The outcome of this tragedy is men, of disfigured forms, because if we are treating our home as normal as possible, we do not deserve to be normal. The fact that David Lynch is able tie in his beliefs within a film that is based on true events is astonishing. This theme, and I guess you can say the director really got me thinking, the fact that this movie was released in 1980; and people today can see no changes have been made but rather “deformities” of our mother earth. The disturbing part of the whole film, is the fact that people can be really “disgusting” in the way we treat on another. The fact that we would treat another human being differently just because of appearance, horrifies me. John Merrick was not a creature nor an animal at all, but rather a kind hearted, sincere, gentleman. Another theme I think Lynch may have created is that, we need to stop seeing the outside layer of all individuals, objects, and topics. We need to start looking and understanding the underlying context of everything and take into consideration of what everything in the world really stands for. We need to stop sugarcoating evidence, and reveal the truth beneath it all. This is my review and take on David Lynch's The Elephant Man, I guess we are all Elephant men in some way or form. 

My Name is John Merrick...

Today is yet another day in the life of a carnie, I am constantly getting showed off by me “caretaker” Mr. Bytes, I am actually quite tired of this job, I always stay up at night thinking to myself when will the day come to where people will not view me with disgust but rather in the sense of praise. Bytes is always mistreating me, there is never a day that goes by that he is not drinking and abusing me, the only nice person around would have to be the little boy, Bytes’ assistant. I want to have that one day where I can be shown to the world and go about life with a sense of security rather than a sense of insecurity. I heard Bytes actually talking to this man; I believe his name was Treves or something of that sense. I think he was a Doctor, if he is a Doctor I sure hope, the hospital can cure me or take better care of me then Bytes. I am now wondering, if this man is a doctor, will he invite me to the hospital, give me my own room, and feed me all the time. I hardly ever get fed with Bytes’ I do not know when the last time was I seen a decent meal. I am so lonely in this “cave” I want friends; I want sincere people that I can call acquaintances. My life has been tragedy since birth, with my mother gone, I wonder if she ever thinks of me the way I think of her. I constantly carry her picture with me, every time I look at it I always get uplifted with happiness, I guess you can say she is the only one that can give me strength. Well I have to go to sleep now, I can never get quite comfortable when I sleep, I am always tired I can never sleep like normal people. I want to see what tomorrow will bring me when I see this man named Treves. 

Welcome to my Nightmare bwa ha ha ha ha ha!

I once had a nightmare that involved one of my greatest fears; the character of the Halloween Movies, Michael Myers, this nightmare was like nothing I have ever dwelled upon in my entire life. It was an ordinary day, and my family and I were coincidently out on Halloween night having fun and getting candy like all normal children love doing “trick o treating” as they call it. Me and my family were out on this one street, getting candy, and I approached this rather terrifying yet unique woman dressed up as a witch, and as I was done receiving candy from her, walking down the street was the man, of all my fears, Mr. Michael Myers. This man was dressed in the exact same costume, and roaming down the middle of the street by himself with no one else in sight, but the kids on the sidewalks and the people outside there houses. My heart began to race, and sweat began to drip down my face, I was only about 6 or 7 at this time I did not know what true fear was until this exact moment. I ran for dear life by myself around the corner I fell to the ground, and in agony I curled up into a ball and began rocking back and forth. My parents found me like this, as I was crying, and to this day I am too afraid to go trick o treating. I will always have that constant fear of knowing someone will be dressed in that such costume and this sense of fear will rise inside me once again. I still have not gotten over this fear and I do not know if I ever will.
