BONE TO PICK WITH LISA BROCK OF BROCK COMMUNICATIONS!!!

Oh do I have a bone to pick with Lisa Brock of Brock communications....

stay tuned for details....

alright ill tell you. Paint this picture in your mind. First day of class, stressed out, looking for the day to just end. I walk in, feeling good, and I get told to take my hat off. Now 4 years ago, I would have just left. That being the immature person I was (that still creeps in from time to time). But I took my hat off and asked why, (not that it would have mattered either way). Lisa said, "Because I am an old school teacher, and I find it disrespectful." Now I have been told how old school I am, and I try my best EVERYDAY to be respectful to the people around me, no problem, hat's off.

It has been what, 2 months or so? I have not worn a hat since the first day of class. I wake up every Monday morning and make sure I do my hair, not a big deal, I enjoy looking my best. But here's the crux of it all. This past Monday, I noticed 3 gentleman with hats on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, its possible that I just haven't noticed all semester that this has been happening, but it just hit me!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted so bad last night to say something, but I refused to throw my fellow classmates under the bus, so I figured I'd get my second blog done instead, win win.

Now you may say; "HEY!, Brian, why not wear a hat to class next Monday, out of spite? Nope, because it's not what other people do that should shape your existence, it's what you yourself do, that mold's your authenticity....

Just some Tuesday Morning Thoughts

Sleep is difficult after a class like we had Monday night. My mind was so active I couldint rest.

I enjoyed Joanna coming in to talk to us, and it was slight, but I was disappointed in myself for being the same age and not having a step on my career. However, I tried my best not to let it bother me so much where I couldint learn something, and if Joanna was not as humble and forthcoming as she was, I probably would have shut down. Instead of having feelings of disappointment, I truly was happy for her, and I wanted the same for myself. I find it such a wonderful feeling to watch someone doing what they know "they should be" doing. That person unknowingly radiates positive vibes, and that is where I want to be.

The group project is a difficult task, but it's really alot of fun. I try my best to be persuasive if I believe in something, but as much as I love having a "great idea", I love when someone has the strength to tell me my idea is lacking, it makes me work harder. I find myself reminding people in my life to criticize me. Sometimes people are terrified to disappoint, either themselves or others, but that just makes you and the person around you weaker.

Video art pisses me off

I cant stand this Pipilotti Rist crap that I have to watch sometimes. I dont understand how or why some of these nonsensical videos are considered art. These asinine ideas like shoving a nail through your balls is not art, its pure stupidity, but people are so freaken weird, they will call it a masterpiece. Listen, just because you have an idea to do something no one else has done, doesn't make you an artistic genius. Now I chose this path of communication classes that involve retarded film studies, but if I had a choice, I'd walk out on most of it. It's not interesting, ITS FREAKEN BORING USELESS NONSENSE!!!

Second Meeting

Our second meeting on the group project for Mr. Jones was successful. It was incredible how much different the meeting went. The first meeting seemed to be a meeting of minds, the second really focused on the actual ideas and development of our concept. I was really impressed with the amount of talent in our group. Everyone is more than capable of coming up with unique ideas, and everyone did. It was an enjoyable experience because we really got some solid work done. I found myself thinking today how excited I was about our project. I feel as if we have a solid concept, but I look forward to shaping it more.

Group Meet

HAHA that was fun. We will have alot to talk about come Monday, let me tell you. This group is great, so many different personalities, we found ourselves off topic a bit, but we related everything and it was very successful in my opinion. The topic of sex was an immediate thriller, and it was humorous and informative to say the least, informative because we learned just a little bit about each other. Any who, it was enjoyable, felt the need to blog this.

Creepy Wal-Mart Story

So we all know how creepy Wal-mart can be. However, due to wonderfully low prices, I decided to take a detour on my way home last week and pick up some detergent. As I pulled into the parking lot around 8pm, I noticed an odd looking guy in the parking spot across from where I pulled in. What made me notice this guy, I have no idea, however I managed to see him chatting on the phone in the passenger side in what seemed to be a beat down 90's style corolla, or something to that effect. Anyway, I didn't read to much into it, he didn't seem threatening, I have just grown up to mind my surroundings.
After purchasing my detergent, I walked out through the sliding doors and began the path to my car. I noticed somebody on a phone walking around my truck, and I immediatly got on my guard. I wasint nervous, but I wanted to be aware. As I got closer, I made sure I noticed every angle of my truck, and I started my engine remotley. The gentleman that was near my car was still on the phone, but now, and constantly, was at a safe distance walking away from me. As I crept up to the driver side door, i noticed a business card on the door. The card read; "17 yr-old cute gay boy, text me." WOW!!!! I flipped the card off my window, jumped in the car and drove away saying "What the F happened here." As I drove away, I watched the guy walking and noticed he was looking down at the card, and I assumed it was him who wrote it. It was a weird experience, I have been threatened before, but not like that haha.

Group

It's interesting. It always feels good to be wanted, and it felt like more than one person wanted me in there group. Honestly, the way I am, I felt like I could work with anyone in the class. I feel I have a unique way of bringing the best out of people, and finding the positive in anyone. My biggest fear was working in a group with too many leaders. Sometimes when you have to many people who want to take control, nothing gets done, no one stays on track, and there is a slight power struggle. But even if that was so, I feel the person that I am, I could adapt to the roll of mediator, if that's what the group needed. I love group work, and the bouncing of ideas from one person to the next. I love my group, and I honestly believe if we use our full potential, we will germinate something special.

3D TV..... CRAZY

Obit

I wrote my obituary the other day. Man it feels weird to say that, haha. Im gonna be honest, it was fun as hell, haha, no pun intended...

Without giving away the actual exercise, I really took the approach to it that I do with life. It has a bit of my humor, intellect, aspiration, and brute honesty. I really see where Professor Brock was going with this exercise, but im sure I will be surprised at ANOTHER reason why we did it. Either way, I actually enjoyed it. Looking forward to bringing it in.

Spring Break

Picked up my girl from the airport this morning. I dont understand why it says arrival 9:05am, then she's here at 8:45am, im not complaining, I just dont want to make her stand there. I calculated my time perfectly though. The airport always fascinated me. There is so much going on, and so many people managing so many aspects of SO many divisions in this small Country like atmosphere. Its actually amazing we just had one disaster like 9/11. There are so many people in transit I actually feel the need to praise government officials for monitoring our air travel so well, job well done. Millions travel every day, and that isnt an easy thing to keep track of.

Yo, Tim!

Tim Tebow are you freaken kidding me?? $160 to get an autograph you should be giving out for free at this stage of your career?? Listen, Im all business, and when you can make money, great, go for it. But dont sell me this image that your such a big humanitarian, then go ask me to plunk down $160 for your hand cock. Can I at least get a picture with that? OH I CAN!!!! For $75 that is!!!!!!!! Call me the one person who wasint really sold on this kid to begin with, but this crap didnt push me in the right direction. Yea, I know, he donated a portion to HIS OWN, foundation. The same foundation that employees what, his Mother, Father, brother, sister and cousin, whoever. Listen, simple math says you made at least $250,000 with this stunt, (NOT INCLUDING PHOTOS), you should be giving 249,000 of it to the Jimmy V fund...

Sunday

I feel good. Healthy weekend, ran alot, got all my work done, went out. Mentally I feel like im at the top of my game, thats refreshing. So often I feel like theres more for me to do, or a cloud hanging around. Im really enjoying my internship, even though I have to wake up at 4:30am tomorrow on my week off. It doesint matter, I look forward to tomorrow morning. My gf is coming in on Tuesday, it should be a great week, and I look forward to the rest of the semester, it could very well be my last ever. It has been a long road, I dont think its nearly over, but I feel proud of myself for at least getting to this point, in a position to achieve.

Finally, a classy chick

Monday

Starting the day in ny, I had no idea how I was going to make it to 10pm. On about 2 hours of sleep, the flight was great, and the way back was smooth, I was exhausted. I came home and had about 20 minutes to nap, then I was off to school. First class was good, reviewed for a text. Second class was great, I received a great test grade. I was more nerve racked about my night class, not because I wasint prepared, but because I was so tierd. I really make an effort to contribute to class, and I knew I was going to collapse. But I trucked through the day well, and I felt really confident about the midterm we took. I was pissed though because my wirting looks horrible. I felt the content was great, but the image looked sloppy. I tried my best to slow down, but still not very clean. I was relieved because I knew I wrote alot of exceptional things.
