What i did Today

First off, let me say sorry for not being in class today... but i had to work on my short story which is due to the class tonight... here is what i got on it so far, and i'll post the finishing on it later tonight.
*******************************************
Night Start stood her ground; all four paws planted firmly, and argued with her mother about the wolf that the Alpha picked out to be her mate. “Look, mother.” She growled. “Just because I’m the granddaughter of the Alpha, doesn’t mean I have to listen to him.” She paced while waiting for her mother’s response.
“Trust me, my daughter, he knows what he is talking about.” Her mother laid down on the dens cool, rough surface. “I didn’t trust him when he introduced me to your father, now look at us.”
“But, Shade is not a wolf.” She thought of the wolf that would be her mate, if her grandfather had his way. “He is nothing more than a common mutt.”
“He will be arriving latter, daughter, maybe you should go out and cool your head.” Her mother put her head on her paws. “Until then, I’ll take a nap.”
“I will meet him, but I won’t mate with him.” She left the den as the sun set over the mountains.

Night Star’s mind was racing that whole night. Before she knew it, the moon was high in the sky and the shadows were growing deeper across the forest’s floor. “Damn it.” she breathed, and let the rest trail off in her mind. Just because he is the Alpha, doesn’t mean he can run my life.
The wind picked up and blew a hominid scent to her attention. That’s strange, she thought, the chimps usually don’t come around this area this time of year. I wonder what’s wrong. She changed her direction to visit her wayward friends.
As she neared her friend’s territory, she picked up another scent, which caused a shiver to go down her spine. The scent was almost that of a forest fire, with the smell of burnt animals filling the air. She turned around, to head back to the den, to tell the Alpha about the fire.
Before Night Star went too far from the smell of burnt animals, the scent of hominids came back to her attention, this time closer. She halted and raised her head to try and get a good smell. This isn’t the scent of the chimps, it is just too wrong for them.
Night Star heard the howl from the Alpha, “Everybody, return to the den.” She started to head back to the smell of the hominids, when she noticed something about to strike her.
Night Star barely had enough time to jump to the side as something shinny at the end of a branch landed next to her, and impacted the ground with a thud. She darted away from it. Hearing the sound of something following her, something fast, and whatever it was, it was on two legs. The sounds from the creature slowly died away. Whatever they were, they couldn’t keep up with her.

The scent was drifting its way back to the den, for as far as Night Star ran from the place of the two legged hominids, she still smelled the foul scent. The first wolf that she ran into was Rain, another female of the tribe.
“Night, do you know where that smell is coming from?”
“No, Rain, I don’t.” She looked back, and cocked her head, trying to listen to see if anything followed her. “I was close by it when the Alpha called everyone back.” She didn’t mention the part where she was attacked, because, she knew it would worry her friend.
Rain hopped in front of Night Star and had a mysterious smile on her face. “So, guess who is here, Night.”
Oh, Great. “Who, Rain?” she didn’t put any humor in her voice.
“Your one and only, Shade, has arrived.”
“That’s just what I need, another male wolf trying to tell me what to do.”
“Ouch, don’t be that way, Night.” Rain turned her head towards the den. “You’ll like him, I know it.”
“We’ll see about that, Rain. As for now, I need to talk to the Alpha, where is he?”
“He is with the other males, in a meeting.”
“Good.” Night Star entered the already quiet den. She saw her mother, and the other females of the tribe around her. Night Star noticed her mother’s eyes focus on her before she turned her head back to the other females. Night Star slowly walked over to join the other females.
“Nice that you could join us,” her mother said without looking back to her. “The males are in a meeting, trying to figure out what is happening in our forest.”
“Then, I should go,” She headed towards the meeting area.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Her mother got up and blocked her way.
“I’m going to the meeting. I have some information that they could use.” Night Star tried to get past her mother, but she wasn’t budging
“The meeting is for the males. No females are allowed to participate.”
Night Star was fully aware of the arcane practice, but she was going to get into it, even if she had to fight her mother. “Mother, you know that that is stupid.” She took a step forward. “I am going to attend, and provide any help I can.”
“Night Star,” Her mother sighed. “You are to be part of the next Alpha pair, and being so, you need to respect the traditions of this tribe.”
“It is time that some traditions change, mother.” She growled and took another step towards her mother, and to the meeting.
“Daughter, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yes, mother, I do.”
Her mother smiled. “Then go.” Her mother stepped aside to let her pass. “There is someone in there that you should meet anyways.”
Night Star watched her mother as she walked passed her.

Night Star was getting closer to the meeting area, and she started to pick up fragments of the conversation. Of course, the first voice she would hear would be her grandfather, “. . . That is why I am asking for volunteers.”
She didn’t see one of the male wolves of her tribe move to join the Alpha. Though, one wolf that she had never laid eyes on before got up.
“Is this the mighty, Iron Fur Wolf Tribe, which I’ve heard so many stories of?”
Night Star watched him as he paced the room, turning his head to each male member of the tribe.

********************
Ok, it is 10:43, and i decided to give you an update on my progress.. This is due by midnight.
********************

She didn’t see one of the male wolves of her tribe move to join the Alpha. Though, one wolf that she had never laid eyes on before got up.
“Is this the mighty, Iron Fur Wolf Tribe, which I’ve heard so many stories of?”
Night Star watched him as he paced the room, turning his head to each male member of the tribe, until he stopped in front of her grandfather.
“I’ll join you tonight Day Star, as will my brother, Shadow.” Another wolf walked over and joined the Alpha.
“Thank you, Shade.”
Shade? So that’s the wolf that her grandfather picked out to be her mate. She studied Shade for a moment, before she walked over and joined them.
“I will also go.” Was all that she said. She could feel the gaze of her grandfather on her, and knowing how much this displeased him made it all the more fun.
“Night Star” her grandfather finally said, “We don’t know what those creatures are, and don’t know what they will do.”
Night Star looked at her grandfather. “That is why I am coming. I have already come across them once tonight, and know some of what thing of what they are.” She was still thinking of the stick that almost hit her, and wondered if she should tell her grandfather about it now or while walking. She saw the Alpha sigh.
“You can join.”
She smiled, “Thank you grandfather.”
“But,” there always had to be a, but. “You can only join us till we their scent gets stronger.”
“Alright,” She knew better than to argue with her grandfather. Well, at least for now.

Night Star was biding her time, waiting for the right time to challenge her grandfather about her going back.
“So, you’re Night Star.”
She didn’t hear him come upon her, causing her heart to speed up from his sudden approach. “Yeah, I am.” She looked at him, and then turned back to see where she was going. “You must be that mutt that he,” She nudged her head towards her grandfather. “Has picked out for me?”
Shade was silent for a while after that, but then he finally spoke again. “Well,” he paused for a moment, “I was the one that approached him.”
Shade stopped in her tracks. What was he saying, she has always thought that it was her grandfathers plan to get her married, but now, she wasn’t so sure. “So,” she took a deep breath and held it for a second before continuing here sentence. “Why me?”
She heard shade just chuckle. “That, I’ll keep to myself for now.”
“Mutt.”
Shade picked up his pace and joined the Alpha. Night Star could see that they were talking, and most likely, about her.
“Don’t let his demeanor put you off.” This time it was, Shadow, that snuck up on her.
She scowled. “I just don’t like to be treated as a piece of meat.”
“Then, you don’t have anything to fear.” He turned his head towards Shade. “He only likes deer meat.”
She softly laughed at the bad joke.
“Ok,” her grandfather spoke up. “Night Star, it is time for you to head back.” He had stopped and was looking at her.
She bowed her head, “Grandfather,” she looked right at him. “I volunteered to come all the way. Nothing you say now will change my mind.”
Her grandfather approached her. “Don’t be stubborn pup. We don’t know what these creatures can do.”
“But, I do. I was attacked by them earlier when I was out here.” She saw the anger in her grandfather’s teeth as he growled.
“And you are just now telling me this.” He raised his head and howled, calling the tribe to war.
“Because I knew you would do that.”
“We will be waiting here till the rest of the tribe gets here. But,” He turned his head towards her. “in the mean time. You are going to tell me everything that happened tonight.”

Night Star had just finished telling her grandfather all that happened, when the scent of the hominids became stronger. “They are getting closer to us.”
The other wolves put their heads up. “So, this is the smell of those beasts that came into my forest, and attacked my granddaughter.”
Even if the other wolves ran, Night Star knew that the hominids would arrive first.
Her grandfather looked at the two male wolves. “Ok, Shade, Shadow, Protect Night Star.” It seems that he didn’t need to ask twice, as they moved close around her.
There she was, staring at where her grandfather just stood, for now he was the Alpha, and would do anything to protect what he cared about.

Don't Look, SEE!!!!

I don’t know the difference between seeing sideways and looking sideways for a New Media student, I can only talk about the difference for a Liberal Arts student, more specifically, a Creative Writer. There are many people out there who love to read books of any genre, because they can look at it and know what is going on. But they are looking at it, not seeing it, for t really see a book is to write the book. For, to write a book is creating something out of scratch. When something is created without anything but a pen, paper, and a crazy thought. When you do that, you go farther than looking sideways, and you truly see it.

So, in essence, to see sideways is something you have to do when you create something, and not just appreciate something that is already done.

Class Recap 4-12

The Eyes have it. It was a moving class though. everyone talking about who they are, lets you know that no-one really knows who they are. I did find the Stereotyping of me very surprising and liked it.

Who are you?

I have been seeing this girl for the past few months, and just recently I got up the courage to ask her out. I was turned down. So, for this last week I have been asking most new girls I meet to go out. Which is something I never do? So far, I have had some of them talk to me, but not one yet willing to go out with me... I know a pitiful blog. But as it turns out, one needs to know who they are before they can test it, and I have yet to find out who I am. I just know who I am not. I am not Mr. lucky, Mr. popular. I am me.

Close friends comments about who I am. Known since 2002
Zack is the quintessential Japanese freak. He loves anime and the Japanese language. He is a writer of science fiction, and fictional, short stories. He has a dream of writing books professionally. Zack is one of the most dependable people that I know. I can always count on him to listen when I (or anyone else) has a problem and be there when we need a hand. He has some self-esteem problems because he believes that people think less of him than they do. Actually he is very intelligent, although extremely eccentric.

Regular Friends comments about who I am. Known for 1 year
Zack is quirky, nerdy, and eccentric. He loves all things Japanese, and also has a flair for writing. He enjoys fiction and sci-fi and fantasy. He plays video games, sends lots of text messages, and probably (like any good nerd) couldn't live without his computer. He's not afraid to ask for help if he needs it, but isn't bothersome about it and is understanding if you're busy. He's always willing to talk to his friends if they need him.

Mwahahahaha

Hmmm... how will people react to my little test.... i won't get one person to volunteer.

Update:
Fear is the lack of understanding of something. For most, it is the wrong information that has been given to them. Also, some fear can be a response to the unknown, where the body is put into the (Fight or Flight) sensation.
What I will do, is formulate a state of heighten wariness with the illusion of the world’s largest spider, Goliath Bird eater Tarantula, which could work without any creative process at all. Just have a cat carrier, and a cloth to cover it so no one can see inside of it.

I will play a video, showing this spider, and how big it can get, all the while, having the cage up in plain sight. After the video is done, I will ask for a volunteer or two.


I honestly don’t expect anyone to volunteer.
It was interesting. Right away when I asked for a volunteer, the only one who stood up was Beth, which was one more than I was expecting. Of course, I motioned to her not to say anything about the fake spider, but she acted like it was cute, which brought up the attention of the Arachnophobia members of our class, and Sandra who was the closest. With two classmates joined in on the viewing, and “awing” of the fake spider, I decided to try to fake out the rest of the class, by letting, Fred, out of his cage.
When thinking of an experiment, don’t just hold off thinking that no one would want to touch the world’s largest spider, even if you hype them up with the lack of visual. Some people would try anything, luckily we have someone like that in our class.
The only change that I would make on this experiment, I would not reveal the spider after the few volunteers saw it. I would leave the rest of the class wondering about it. and them, possibly sometime later in the class, just open the door to his cage, and a little later tell everyone not to worry, but Fred has got out.

Mmmmmm Turds

When first given this assignment, i had no clue what so ever to do since i work with my mind at writing stuff... i could try to write a crappy poem, or make some other crappy story... but after a moment of thinking of that crap, i just got the the point where i thought. "Hay, why not. Make them crap." so, that's what i did,


Doesn't that look Yummy :). Now, would you like to make your own crap, that people can eat.


**
Ok, here is how... first you need two things..
1st

Oreos - 1 Package.

2nd

Cream Cheese - 1 Package

You need a BIG mixing bowel for this.
You want to crush the Oreos up into somewhat a mixture between fine and coarse (powder and chunks)


Then mix the Cream Cheese into the Oreo bits until it looks something like


After the mixing is done (and yeah, that takes a little bit of time) Then you can shape it.



Or, if the look of crap would scare off your friends.... i mean prisoners. you can also put them into round shapes... Balls


Now, don't worry what they look like, they taste even better.

1 hour good, 2 better, 3 even better, 4 the best

One of the key rules to writing is to have everything make sense. To do this, one must take their time and organize what they are going to write so that it will come out smoothly… well, to do this requires time. Instead of writing my story this Sunday, I chose to have some fun and go out to lunch and a movie with a special friend.

I live in Indy, and my friend lives in Columbus. We meet up at the Topizo, a Mexican restaurant, and had a decent lunch… their salsa was a little lacking, but alright. After that, we went to Kerasotes and watched “The Book of Eli.” Don’t worry, I will not tell you what happened in the movie, it is up to you to see what happened. But needless to say, it was a fucking AWESOME movie.

After the movie was off, I dropped her off and started to head home… two hours later I arrived. It turns out that I like to drive around when something is due the next day and almost forget about it.

Circles

According to Wiki "Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure (known as the perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior. However, in strict technical usage, "circle" refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is called a disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when referring to its length)."

30 Circles will be updated as soon as video is finished, representing the 30 circles, but in terms of shape and actions. like a dog chasing its tail (29 now)

Class Recap 2-8

I ware my sunglasses at night, so I can so I can… ok, that is all of the song I really know without looking it up online… too bad that I forgot my sunglasses last night, sitting beside that disco ball was painful to my eyes till I put my folder up to block the light. Well, I don’t mind sitting in the dark… trust me, I had to do it way too much while I was a photo tech at Walgreens. But, I didn’t see the flash at the end of a real… which I would love to see now.
In the darkness, people do open up (not just meaning taking off their clothes and getting down and dirty) I mean, they are less opposed to say what is on their mind, (again, not too much different than most of the people in this class :) ) the talking about projects makes me want to look at them a little more, which I will do later on tonight, if I have the time and don’t fall asleep.
Now, getting off of here, pay attention to my Geology teacher (talk about Astronomy) and look at the Circles in my eyes later on this week.

Crop Circles

Crop circles have been popping up everywhere over the last few decades. Here is one being behind all of these pranks

But, Crop circles come in many shapes and sizes. Many of which are awesome to look at, and really makes you wonder how they made it

Even some of the well known businesses got into making crop circles

But the most common crop circles have been seen all around the world, from the far south east in Australia (which has 50% of the worlds crop circles.) to the far west in America.

But simple and common crop circles

And even the more difficult ones

Can be explained and just passed off by pranksters

But, I have my own crop circles to show you if you try to trick me

Class Recap

Recap on the chaotic group that is my class. Ok, I have to admit, this class has only started and has turned out to be fun. But, I will not bow down to the Coke, but let the Pepsi rule all. It is interesting on how the subject of our next assignment is handed out. Too bad it wasn’t closer to harvest season, I would make one and document it. Well, I guess that is all I have to say right now about the class. Take care. And take my advice. Pull down your Pants and slide on the ice.

the 5's

Rules that need to be broke

While thinking of this question, the first rule that came to my mind was the speed limit, while supposed to help reduce the chances of accidents. More people wreck while trying to avoid someone going slow and/or who are driving foolishly. It is a fact that on the Autobahn there is no speed limit, and police only pull over people who are causing an endangerment to other drives.

The next rule I would take out, would be copy written material. True that it is unlawful to sell, it shouldn’t be a crime to get something from a friend, and everyone is your friend when you are getting something for free.

Keep off the grass… like anyone would really pay attention to walking on the grass. It is part of nature, why not walk on it… concrete is hard.

Bathroom’s…. ok, we are big people and we know what the other sex has, so why should we have to use different bathrooms, it’s a waste of space.

No Booze on Sunday, come on, some guys have to survive church on Sundays, so why can’t they go and buy a cool one after that torture.

Rules that need to be

After high school, one needs to work at a customer service job for at least one year, to show them humility, and patience.

People need to learn manners, not just for special occasions, but for everyday life.

While ignorance is bliss, stupidity should be prosecuted. One should shoot to improve one’s own self, for it would make life for them much easier, and less stressful to others.

Recycle!!! This world has supported us for about a quarter of a million years, and look what we have done to it in the last 100 years. We need to give back to that which is our lifeline. We only have one home.

It should be a rule, that everyone must have a Cell Phone for people could contact them encase of emergencies.

Class Respose

It is not in the first class that anything is really done, it is always the second class that starts the semester. everyone is over their weirdness of new people (well, mostly) and they are ready to get the ball rolling. But, this class is a little Weird :)~ I would have to say most of the people in here know each other and are use to the weirdness. Now, i just need to be sure that my "Writer" Weirdness doesn't over shadow theirs.

Everyone's Egg-project was interesting, i could have worked on mine a little more myself, but i really didn't know what to do with it. i was glad i got something done with it.

what is an Egg?????

An Egg can be many things from the place you were born to something you eat. we all come from eggs, and all end up going back into the ground to be recycled to help produce another egg. But, after some deep thought on what an egg could be, i have come to the conclusion on what i want an egg to be.
