Walking on Broken Glass

The topic picked was symbol for sound. Some ideas I came up with was to some how make an image that would represent a symbol from a song I like from the 90's "Walking on Broken glass" written and performed by singer Annie Lennox that interen would provoke sound. I felt this image would be memorable in the fact the feet actually have blood coming out instead of just feet walking on broken glass. Some limitations in what i am doing is people may not interpret my image as a symbol for sound right off until I explain it. Some compromises I could make is putting music notes on the image,but I prefer people to figure it out. The inspirations that led me to interpreting the topic the way I did is I summed up the only thing that symbol for sound could possibly mean is a symbol that makes sound or a symbol that can cause sound,which is what I did. Along with the fact that I like music it kind of inspired me to find a song I like. So I decided to correlate an image that would cause me to think of the song Walking on Broken glass then from that causing me to sing it out loud creating sound. Therefore the image is a symbol for sound. What interest me about my approach to the exercise was I didn't do something that was obvious that someone could instantly figure out. I feel that my interpretation of symbol for sound may be interesting to others in that it s something they will have to guess at before getting it right kind of like a brain teaser. What I will be presenting to class is the final image I did in photo shop in which I added glass around someone walking in blood. I will then be able to explain my interpretation of symbol for sound with an actual image that will help people understand what I mean.

Class 5 Recap

In class today a couple of students discussed what inspired them,which I found inspiring. We then discussed our next assignment and one of the students did bible dipping concluding that we would have our next project be symbol for sound. I think this is going to be an interesting project because it makes you go way out the box in order to do it in my opinion. Then we watched a very interesting,but odd movie called Running with Scissors. From what I summed up it was a shrink who started out relatively normal with his patience to get them coming on a regular bases. He then offered a anti anxiety type of pill when the person didn't seem to need it at the time. I later figured out that he was taken what I believe sane people with personal issues and making them insane in order to take control of their money and life. Once his daughter said he took seventy five thousand dollars of her money to save the house it was clear he would take any ones. I also concluded that the doctor was just as crazy because of his discovery in the toilet so it was basically an insane man making others in sane.

Inspiration







My definition of inspiration is reward. Meaning the end result of what ever I am doing gives me the drive to do it. I am inspired to go to college in order to obtain a degree. I am inspired to work in order to get a paycheck. I am inspired to study in order to gain knowledge and receive a good grade. I also have inspiration for much long-term goals that I wont receive the reward for a long period of time, such as investing and saving money. I am a strong believer of planting seeds early and reaping the benefits later in life. Inspiration also means patients, not immediate gratification because you really don't have to be inspired to get something instantly. Money is probably one of the most popular inspirations for people. Money is an inspiration for me because there are many things you can do an change with money if you know what you're doing of course. Family is another inspiration of mines. Family inspires me to do the things I need to do in order to assist them. Independence is another form of inspiration for me. Meaning the harder I work to change something the more independence I will have from that particular obstacle I might have in life. Inspiration in my opinion doesn't have one meaning because different things inspire different people.

Class 4 Recap

I feel that Mondays class was not successful in being a group when class started. I think the IUPUI culture of isolating one self was obvious. I being just as guilty hadn't even realized I was even that way. I also feel as the class went on we continued to show displays of isolation by not setting in a group when out doors and hesitating to talk about what we did or for the next person to go. I think this is because its human nature as well to stay in your comfort zone. I thought what people talked about was interesting and the examples by the teacher were to. I feel that this class continues to be interesting and unpredictable.

Egg Assignment Redo

For my project redo I will be re doing my egg assignment. I feel that the egg project was an interesting one that I enjoyed doing. I did the project the way I did because I thought having the egg experience my day would be a unique experience. What I liked about this project is that I had to take out extra time to think about an egg while doing my daily routines. What I disliked about this project is trying to figure out what to exactly do with the egg. I wanted to choose this particular project to re-examine because I wanted to see how the egg experience would be with someone else I knew and if they had been careless like I had or was it just simple to have an egg with you at all times.
I decided that I would re do the egg assignment since I still actually had my egg. This time around I k new to be more careful after the first experience, but apparently not my friend. I decided I would let someone else experience a day with my egg and report back to me. Well I let my friend Jennifer take on this challenge,which she thought was very funny. She decides the egg would tag along with her throughout her day like it did mines. So she takes the egg to work and puts it in a safe spot so she says. Jennifer said people questioned it, and two of her co-workers decided to play catch with it,but it didn't break. The egg was also given a name of Breakfast by her co-workers as well and was referred to that name for the rest of the day. Then when she got off of work she went to Marsh and took the egg in the store with her. Jennifer said it was kind of awkward trying to figure out what to actually do with the egg while shopping so she put it in napkins gotten from work and stuck It in her purse leaving it open so it could enjoy the experience. So anyhow Jennifer and the egg listened to music on the drive back to her house. She then said she put the egg back into her purse to keep it safe while she got the groceries out of her car. Well apparently she was really into what she was doing and forgot about it she says because she left it in her pursue. The same pursue her dog decided to go into because she set it on the floor White putting up groceries. When she remembers she notices her dog has egg yolk all over his face that he is happily licking off. Jennifer then says she remembers where she had left the egg only to find what was left of the egg smashed all over her pursue. So I conclude although I almost dropped the egg twice it was allot safer with me. Also the whole experience was entertaning especially hearing about my friends experience with the egg although I was a little annoyed the egg ended up being attacked by her dog in the end.

Bliss

My activity of choice I choose to do for three hours that I really enjoyed was going to the movies. the movie I went to see was Shrek, which turned out to be just as good as t he first two. It was basically about Shrek wanting a day like the old times when everyone feared him and he could take a mud bath in piece without a tourist bus showing up at his house everyday. He also wanted a day before Fiona and his kids were in his life. So he ended u signing what he thought was a one day contract with Rumpelstiltskin who he didn't realize had a long time grudge against him for messing up his chances of taking over Far Far Away. So Rumpelstitskin trick him into an unfair contract that only a kiss from true love could beak. So Shrek who realized he didn't now what he had until it was gone had to earn Fiona's love back. He ended up doing that in an interesting way and they lived happily ever after of course. Now since the movie only took up about an hour and fort minutes of my three hours I decided to use my remaining time doing something else I really liked, which is being out doors. so on Sunday when the weather was nice I went to the canal and walked around for a while and relaxed to finish off my blissful day.

Can't you tell my Poem is different?



Rebellion!!!

created by Tiffany

Life's about living a rebel
So I like living as the devil
Running, screaming, kicking shins
Planning other devious sins
What is life without a little danger
Disobey parents and talk to a stranger
Run around with scissors and knives
Swearing on other people's lives
No one is really a goody-goody-two-shoes
It's all about run and let the leash loose
Steal the keys and go for a joy ride Life
can't be fun if you stowe away and hide
How can life be fun if you won't get in trouble
Give it all you've got - you don't have to be subtle
Because we all have less sugar than spice you might as forget
everything nice few words I've changed few words are mine the
poem you can't see as clear as mine is it the same I'm not sure
who really cares the thought is a bore I live on the edge so that
thought I will ignore... plagrism
No not me
not interested in my poem so read no more
your thoughts of this I will not explore

Endangered Egg

I decided that my egg would continue the remaining of the day with me. So I made it a seat out of two gloves left in my car so it wouldn't fall while I was driving and stuck it in my drink holder. The ride home was fine,but I soon realized I shouldn't try to pick up the egg while having my book bag, purse, books, and the egg at the same time. Once I was almost out of my garage into the house I dropped and a second later caught the egg! Okay so lesson learned and I put down my stuff and took the egg up stairs. All was well for a couple of hours because I decided to put the egg in front of the tv to watch while I worked on some stuff on my laptop. Well apparently I was really into what I was doing and when I came back to set down I forgot I had placed the egg on on the coach and set down causing the egg to roll to the edge,but again I caught it. Anyhow after two scares I put the egg in a safer place and it made it through the night.
