Fun...Fun...How can you have fun?

My 3-D art teacher gave me an ultimatum. Either I turn in all the stuff tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. I haven't yet or fail.
This presents a problem as I have not begun on my model head yet.

The cleancher here is that I have to turn in a drawing of the skeleton and a drawing of the muscular structure too...by 5:00pm today.

I'm sick. This sucks. I wish ill on my myself from two weeks ago for dickin' around and not doing JAAAAACK-DIDDLES.

Ironman on Friday. I need money.
Preferably four dollars. Possibly three since I don't know how much a ticket is at Atlantic Station ($9.50, thanks belated memory!!).

I neeed to survive the week. Survive the day. Survive this hour.
I need to get to work. NOW.




.....



Or, as soon as I can.

So....are you joking...?

Modest Proposal

Andre Churchwell

There is a problem in our dear country; one that we will no longer be able to avoid for much longer. The United States of America is going down the pipes. Once a sterling beacon of potential for national discourse and eliminator of woes for the world, we are being lobbied into self-centered, over-weight, medicated trouble makers with power inherited from a harder working generation and civil rights being rolled back that was earned by a bolder generation.

Americans have found importance where there is none with Anti-Gay Marriage Acts, Anti-Flag Burning Acts and video games/rap songs/anime shows that might influence an innocent child to violent acts.

The United States media creates this middle ground of confusion for its people where we are the best nation in the world (I agree, but now that’s like being the best dancer in a one-leg handicap hoe-down) and told not to worry, while also saying that the world is extremely hazardous and danger could strike from anywhere, at any moment.

This seems to get crazier as it goes along. The only thing that could cease it or turn this generation to a hopeful direction is for a great change that would otherwise not naturally happen. The American people usually unite and cause this everlasting type of change when an event takes place such as a great tragedy. A tragedy such as Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center, the assassination of Martin Luther King, etc. motivate the populace with fear, which turns to anger then to action (sometimes good: Joining the Allies to fight the Axis, sometimes bad: DC riots, War on Terrorism).

This nation is long past due with dealing with the issues that cripple us and keep us from un-ending liberty (the condition in which an individual has the ability to act according to his or her own will) and is long past due for a revolution from the current passive-aggressive ways of dealing with our problems.

“A little revolution now and then is a good thing; the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

-Thomas Jefferson

I will now propose my own plan of action, which I hope us brave few will not be liable to the least objection (the least of all me).

I have found, not through my own work but from the diligence of the first-rate team on the humor website Cracked.com, that scientist as well as nature it self are well on their way to creating a zombie horde who may or may not eat our brains as well as the flesh we walk in. Not only that, but horde will be imbued with the ability to transfer the zombie prognosis to whomever they choose to bite.

With the proper funds and moral support, the United States can be the first nation with a zombie invasion. In as little as two to three years, we could be engulfed and engorged with the living dead. The Second Amendment will be impractical no more. The ready, willing and able will mount a heroic precedent in history. The things that truly make America great will shine through at last. The right to arm yourselves with anything money can buy mixed with a free market have yielded guns being bought wholesale at K-Mart. This will prove beneficial and for certain would not have been useful for any other purpose.

The common threat of undead humans flooding the streets (whether they actual will devour our brains as science fiction is still uncertain and would be helpful in knowing so as to fund Anti-Zombie Helmets) will unite those of strong wills to stand up and start anew. The government will prove untrustable as they will most assuredly be blamed for the accident and the ensuing mass chaos. It has not been determined whether toxoplasmosa gondii will be the way to go (as it controls mice to the point that it tells them to be eaten by a cat so that it can control the larger mammal) with it already infecting half the human population as I write or nanotechnology run amok, but fortunately, if funded correctly all these will end up causing the zombie apocalypse we so desperately need for focus on the truly important issues: health, social welfare, and autonomy from a government gone wrong.

All these post must now be catalouging my adventures in Satire Class

All I can think of is the book “The Giver”. A utopian society, supposedly in the future, is blissfully devoid of emotion or lust all the way through life. A nondescript old-wise man deemed “The Giver” takes in one boy to be tutored in the ways of human emotion. Hilarity ensues. I mistake this book for another I had read called “A Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. Too similar too recap but I like this one more, possible cause I’m reading it the first time.
Not being able to choose you emotions is what strikes this connecting line to the “The Giver”. For some reason I hold firm that there is more of a connection there than what I initially can find. Perhaps there is a fascination with choice. Do we, in the universe and dimension we inhibit choose are emotions? It seems some of us control those pesky emotion better than most but what it if we were made the choice to choose whether we could outright decry something for a promise of a better tomorrow…if we could not choose? (I just befuddle myself. I’ll clear it up at the bottom)1
The constant parade of propaganda eerily takes a future-looking nod to the advertisements of today, especially the ones out in the street (and especially New York). I easily imagine if current-day viral marketing for a movie of Nineteen-Eighty-Four would have [WAR IS PEACE] [FREEDOM IS SLAVERY] [IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH] as banners on those tall buildings.

1 When do you think society made the choice to go down the path that was taken in Nineteen-Eighty-Four?

Does this work?

For My Modest Proposal I tried to get at the heart of what I think is wrong with society and look for a f'd up answer that is back up with indisputable facts.
WELLLL so far I got nothing. So instead I went with what is wrong with me and projected that out to society with a screwy answer like:

• Show porn every where. Flood the market and the media with hardcore porn and desensitize the commonwealth. The issue of pornography destroying our society would be put to bed wit this initiative. Sign up today!
• Men go pants-less, Women go topless. On the issue of desenisitivity, perhaps we would do better to go a few months showing what everybody wants to see. Which no longer make them taboo or so sought after that in a visual regard. Strippers would be out of a job. Remember you can make a deference, but you have to remove an article of your clothing. Pledge now!
• (Original idea heard from Stand-up comic Doug Stanhope)
  

I've got so much school work to do it gives me a boner

1. Stop going onto 4chan
2. Stop using the internet
3. Stop reading/start writing
4. Start your Cardboard head project
   
5. Oh, and finish your late box art
   
6. Oh and read Gulliver's Travels
7. Watch Gulliver's Travels
8. Read the Rape of the lock
9. Make a "Modest Proposal" with a super long title
10. Pay for late camera return so that you can use the camera in school again
11. Draw/label the entire front human musculature and the back torso portion
12. Take an hour to clean your "death trap" of a bed and your "Cthulu's Mouth" of a floor
13. STOP YOUR BITCHIN'
14. Get a catchy song stuck in your head (it helps with doing mundane work)
15. Get out of room+ do work= Work gets done
16. Get out of room -do work/due tomorrow= Vicious Cycle

Now I need to go to an open mic and waste some time with no material.
It would be awesome if someone were to help me write my stuff but it's just as well.
Now I can get ALL THE CREDIT! MWHAAAAHAHAAHA!!
(comes to realize his place in the grand scheme of things)

Biology is for people with boners for blood, bones, and bugs.
Think about it.

I wonder if Maria Lombardi knew Micheal Cypress. Not a concise thought but I just wanted My MyCy shout out.

Oh my honours and awards!

Andre Churchwell The Second English-Satire 4/15/08

What If? : Andre Decides to Read “The Rape of the Lock”?

It seems that to understand what is going on in the first Canto you have to know a great deal, not even about the incident between Arabelle Fermor and Lord Petre but the Homer-isms that are abound. The hundreds of references to Greek mythology would normally have this reader scrambling to reference websites but seeing as this is an satire class there is a need to see the text for more than just what it meant to reference and what the reader believes is referenced. For the most part, I have no clue. When a passage mentions “The silver Token, and the circled Green,” I think of how three female characters from this poem eventually get named after three moons of Uranus, Belinda, Umbriel, and Ariel. The constant reference of sky and sun perhaps got the discoverer, William Lassell, of said moons to think of this poem when he found them. The lines:

” While Peers and Dukes, and all their sweeping Train, And Garters, Stars, and Coronets appear,” reminds me of Dr. Hank McCoy’s use of the phrase in all his incarnations as the mutant and mutant activist Beast from the X-Men. It struck me that he uses “My stars and garters” as an exclamation but could also tie into his love of Victorian literature, for in The Rape of the Lock the story seems to illustrate that one should not judge people on the acts they do on face-value as many machinations are at play within that one act. The act in TROTL is cutting a lock of hair while the act for Hank McCoy would probably be hatred of his kind.

He teaches a history class...while upside down...with glasses on.

Q: The Rape of the Lock is an old poem but are there any references in it that transcend it’s time period? (I named a few already)

A long time coming

This is my attempt to explain how I feel and sometimes why (THE VOWEL SONG! Kay back on topic) I feel this awesome prickly sensation with a flat image on a screen. GAWD. That last sentence makes me feel like I need a girlfriend....

Onward, HO!

The Movie scenes:

E.T.

After all the kids in the house know about the alien, after Drew Barrymore brings a flower on a RedRacer wagon to “go play with the boys”, after she was “Is he pig? He sure EATS like one”, but before E.T. molds balls and shows what his solar system looks like. The moment is pinpoint accurate for me. Everyone finishes talking and E.T. smacks his lips, I think he burps a little, and picks something out of his mouth and goes for the balls (note to self: make a joke about last sentence. Make reference to Elliot’s balls in awkward fashion. Over). That’s it. In my mind it’s way more awesome than what is on electronic paper. For that moment I have this tangible feeling of what he is eating and what his face is feeling at that moment. My face tingles all over the front. I think it’s trying it’s best to blush.

This scene and tons of others is what made E.T. the first movie that I watch an incalculable amount of times back when I was a kid. It wasn’t even my VHS. It was my Aunt Cathy’s down College Park-Atlanta, Georgia. I think she let me keep it because she saw that I would be broken if I didn’t watch it everyday back home.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Adrenochrome scene. (I may add a vid of it if widow movie maker would get off its ASS!)

Those are some nutty noise that Depp is making.

I imagine me making those same noises and I feel good all over.

I actually attempt to replicate said noises and…something goes wrong.

Cause it does not feel as good as it looks.

…I’ll just stick to watching the movie.

Snatch

A Benecio Del Toro twofur!

Every movement seems like a subtle thought-of-but-not-thinking-of-it choice to use his every muscle that shows up on screen.

When he speaks in this movie it’s like he isn’t saying anything.

It’s as if he was mouthing all his words.

It’s okay though because I hear it in my head due to his and mine latent psychic powers.
