9th Grade Metaphor Project



I found this video on my downstairs computer, I made this in 9th grade as part of my film production class. It was our first assignment and we were required to make a photo slideshow that was supposed to encompass who we are.

Just Beat It


In this game you and yr bros shoot through Mexico because of some conflict that took the writers an afternoon to write/develop. Despite many bugs and graphical glitches yr vacation 2 Cancun is pretty tactical & challenging. I learned that all the citizens of Mexico r trained soldiers w/ guns + lust for blood. I had fun.

Timely


I really like these WWII Propaganda posters. In fact I sent a French and a Russian one to my mom in hopes they'll end up under the Christmas tree.

Senior Project

I was listening to Atlas Sound's Recent Bedroom and I like the way the lyrics are. There are only 3 lines "I walked outside, I could not cry, I don't know why" but I read in an interview with Bradford Cox that this is referring to a time when he was 6-7 and his whole family was gathered at the death bed of his aunt who was dying from cancer. She was going to go soon so everyone had gathered to say farewell and so, and everyone was crying and the like. But for some reason he wasn't able to and he excused himself out of the room to try and cry but he just wasn't able to.

A pretty personal meaning behind it, I think thats cool. So I was just thinking and the first one that came into my head was

It got dark
We walked down the mountain
We were lost

I think thats really dope actually and that would be sick if it some way or another manifested its way into the cd.

Heres another one

I did not want to leave
I ran into a cave
I planned to stay

A long while ago I was in this YMCA program with my dad called Indian Guides. It was pretty sweet, we went out to cool places and I hung out with friends and stuff. Anyways every end of August we went camping for a weekend on Catalina Island at this site called Camp Fox. Dope ass place. Anyways the first year I went, when it was time to go home I was so sad to leave I went with my dad one last time to a cave we'd all hang out in before we boarded the boat. I think I was like 5-7, but I'm not sure.

Heres one that I wrote down half joking

The oranges were soft
Many beautiful things happened
Underneath my fingers

Haha yeah well I also wrote one of these about a short film Michel Gondry made called "La Lettre" but I'm gonna expand on this one a bit more so I'll post it when I'm done. But you should watch it, its here.

i can tell

The Japandroids summary paragraph on last.fm is really cool

Japandroids (JPNDRDS) are a two piece band from Vancouver, BC. This ‘band’ started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intended to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a ‘lead singer’ and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids were/are/will be 1 guitar, 1 set of drums, and 2 vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don’t care what you call it, as long as it’s not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band.

Tarun Peela

This is Tarun Peela

This is his facebook about me


To start with my name is Tarun. I never really liked my name but cant do anything about it so w.e. There isn't a lot to tell about me i'm a little of everything: little crazy, wired, happy, sad...and w.e u can think of. There are two things, which really made look at the world a little differently

1) "there is only one person in the who stays with you your entire life and that is you" after reading this form somebodies profile I've realized that everybody better love them self cuz if you don't you will hate your self.

2) Lot of ppl would say out society is civilized, yet when you just think about it you can find so may flaws. One of many is that why do we all have to stat our day at 8 AM. making all our roads all jammed. We can just make everyone start at different times so that we don't have 2 go thought the morning blues every day. If you think we live in the most civilized society hahahha.

our society is far from being civilized.

Defiance, Ohio- Oh Susquehanna


We walk at the paths at the banks of the mighty Susquehanna, with our feet made muddy by your tributaries that trickle their way to the Chesapeake. It's like we follow I-83 down to harbor cities with strip malls and tar-mac, people swirling and teeming. It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight.

I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion Road and all that was there was some old cemetery. All I wanted was to be able to walk to the store. Now I don't live there but there's too many stores, some apartments, and a Sunoco. 

And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies?
And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies?

Oh, Susquehanna!
Oh, Susquehanna!

And I miss that place behind my house where I hiked and climbed and played, where I ditched this noisy century or just hid out from the decade. M-I homes thought it could stand to be updated, forced it all into a grid until it looked like the funny pages. With every trace of life, it seems, confined within a frame, the faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same. And the punch lines are resoundingly unfunny for those trapped in this architecture of easy money.

And I feel like this could all come to no good. The kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood beneath those cookie cutter houses: fields and streams and woods. They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them out of this boring neighborhood.

Oh, Susquehanna!
Oh, Susquehanna!
Oh, Susquehanna!
Oh, Susquehanna!

And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies?
And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies?

Charles Manson



“We are our own prisons. We are each our own wardens and we do our own times. We get stuck in our own little trips and we kinda judge ourselves the way we do. You know, I can’t judge nobody else, best thing I can do is try to judge myself and live with that. See, what other people do is not really my affair, unless they approach me with it, and want me to do something about it, then I’ll take into consideration what has to be done. But other than that I just try to do my number and do my time.”

“The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies.”

“Everything is beautiful if you want to experience it totally.”

“These children that come at you with knives, they are your children. You taught them. I didn't teach them. I just tried to help them stand up.”

“No sense makes sense.”

“Total paranoia is just total awareness.”

“They're looking for something dirty in everything, and if you're looking for something, you'll find it. You have to put up some kind of face for them, and that's the only face they understand.”

“You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.”

“I can’t dislike you, but I will say this to you: you haven’t got long before you are all going to kill yourselves, because you are all crazy. And you can project it back at me, but I am only what lives inside each and every one of you.”

“I can't judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.”

“My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system.... I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you.”


“Look down at me and you see a fool;
look up at me and you see a god;
look straight at me and you see yourself.”

This is a picture I made with the same concept as a picture I made for my brother a couple years ago on his computer.
I'm not sure if it's interesting to you, but it seemed as if my brother enjoyed a picture with similar characteristics.
Everything in this picture was cut/copied from my pictures from Costa Rica and my Scary Dairy trip.

Suicide
is a person smart or stupid for doing it?
Only a person with a full understanding of suicide should be able to do it.
Human nature is to live, love, die, whatever, and suicide is the opposite, it completely stops all of that human nature.
So, if one decides to commit suicide, one commits an act that is not of human nature. If one commits an act that is not of human nature, one is making an unhuman action.
Unhuman being not a human act, whether extraterrestrial, transcendental, etc.
That persons thought to commit suicide is unhuman, because their thoughts are to commit the unhuman act of ending one's life.
Suicide stops all human nature in that person, so is this person unhuman if they commit it.
This unhuman act is usually looked at as bad, but if it's unhuman and we know nothing about unhuman nature how can it be determined as bad?

History

If we think back in history, religion ran the state. The religious leader or the king would rule over the people making sure that if anyone would question god or question his power they would be jailed/beheaded.
If you look at our world as of now, it is almost a mirror image, it seems as if we always say, "Oh we learn history so we don't repeat the past"
If the leaders of now, learned about how the leaders of the past lead, what would keep them from ruling in the same way, with the same concepts.
As of now we are being told what they want us to hear=Bishops explaining to the people what god was saying.

Hallucinogenic drugs related to intelligence

A big part of our society is based around drugs. Through my perspective it appears as if people who do/have done hallucinogenic drugs are more intelligent than people who haven't. This may be related to my definition of intelligence but from what I've seen and the people I have interacted with who have done these drugs usually have a better understanding on many subjects. Its as if they allow us to see what's not there, causing us to furthermore question what could be there.

Trancending Humanity

This is an interesting game about transcendence, this company makes a lot of interesting/trippy games.

The thought of transcendence came up in ancient, medieval, and now modern times. What I wonder is if we will transcend like our ancestors did or are we done. I question the the thought of us transcending with many factors holding us back including ignorance, religious beliefs, fear, emotion. I believe if we were to transcend it would be beyond any we've ever seen before, the next movement for our species would be so magnanimous that we might not even act as we normally did with languages, courtship, loss of emotions such as fear. I believe if we did move beyond our current state we would have to leave human emotion behind as a whole, things such as fear prevent us from discovering, creating, QUESTIONING.
I don't think people understand where this society can go with the loss of emotion, the scientific advances. The loss of simple competition, when our society learns that competition is a primitive action we will experience great transcendence above our primitive past, this being only a step in a staircase. We need to understand that there are other ways to achieve the euphoria of winning against another, that we do not need simple things such as a baseball game or putting another person down for their flaws. Why not explain to that person what their flaws are using a psychoanalytic approach and explain why that flaw is present and how to fix it.

When I was about 5-8 years old I had nightmares of a man who would try to steal me from my dad at the grocery store, he would stare at me, across from the stacks of fruits raising his eyebrows and making strange gestures with his short mustache. My dad later showed me a book with a picture of my grandfather, I recently found this one on his computer. The man from my dreams was the man from this picture.

Word Up

Hello world, this is an example of how posts should be organized.

This post is ironic because there is no organization of how posts should be made.
Tag with whatever, use genres of what its about philosophy etc etc, try to keep the tags a little more organized. Sorry about the wall of text I'm just trying to fit all of my attempts at rules on one post.
