Inside My Deranged Mind

Though many of my friends scold at me or call me an "idiot" for believing conspiracy stories, I still read about them. Theories about aliens, or simulations, or evil corporations, and creatures from the crypt. These things do sometimes scare me. Because what if there is something that is truly out there. Something that would cause danger to us. In class this week, we discussed the piece, "The Measure or Restraint," talks of the continuous want for knowledge, and how that could ultimately lead us to our own demise.  I think one that comes to mind for a lot of people-- aliens. Aliens' existence is a highly controversial topic. Me personally, I think it's possible for them to be out there. There is a theory called "The Great Filter." It is described as a force that prevents life from expanding. This "filter" could be anything from a universal storm, black hole, or super advanced alien race.  What is scary is that, if the theory i...

In class this week, we discussed the conflict between two pieces of art. One is "Charging Bull" and the other, "Fearless Girl." Both phenomenal pieces of work and both carry meanings. But the conflict arises between the artists. Both pieces stem from a form of guerilla art. A from of art that is very similar to graffiti. It is art that is placed somewhere from an anonymous source. "Charging Bull" was the first statue that was placed into Wall Street. And it's creator says the piece stands for the strength and integrity of Wall Street. The strength it took to bring Wall Street out of the economic crash. Then later, "Fearless Girl" pops up right in front of it. The day right before International Women's Day. It stands right in front of the bull, looking it in the eye. Hands on her hips and chest out, a very "Superman-esque" pose. She stands for the power of women in Wall Street. She stands up against the bull, showing that women...

Microaggression  is defined as '' a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority." In movies, some people may not really see where a microaggression occurs. Mainly, because they don't really care or don't even notice it is a microaggression. But as it is defined, these aggressions may only cater toward smaller groups,. So while some may not care, others might see it as an issue. One of the biggest microagresions I can find in the movie industry is Racial Changing. (That really isn't a real term, but that's the only thing I could think of.) But basically, Racial Changing is the action of altering a character's race, but that change does not fit within the context of the film. Personally, I believe Racial Changing can be done to a certain extent. But it really comes down to several factors, which will be explaine...

My imagination was mainly built on the backs of a talking sponge, a bald kid with an arrow on his head, and two twins who lived in a hotel. Like most children, I grew up on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel. It was exciting to come home from school and watch my favorite shows and cartoons. But with such a young innocent mind, I never exactly caught certain things. When I was in middle school, my cousin had introduced me to conspiracy theories. These theories that weren't widely accepted by the public and could be very dark. Theories that exposed a darker side to humanity. This lead me down a dark hole of very scary and eye opening revelations. A particular category of conspiracies caught my attention. Children's television show conspiracies were one of the more interesting categories. They revolved around shows I had grown up around and things I could relate to. Those theories lead me to messed up interpretations of shows and some very "adult" innuend...

Personally, as an individual, within the whole grand scope of the whole world, I can't help but feel so small and insignificant. Think about it, you are one person out of 7.6 billion in the world. I struggle with the idea of being lost within this sea of people. I struggle with not being a person who will make their great debut to the world, someone who adds to society. To help visualize my view on the world, think about the stars in space. There are billions and billions of stars in the sky. It's very hard to decipher a difference between the stars from our point of view. Tell me, could you look into the sky choose a star, then the next night point out that same exact star?Yet, in the abundant amount of stars, there a few in particular that stand out. The constellations are the "celebrities" of the stars. The ones that stand out and a person could pick right of the sky. Ones that you could look up at the and tell that individual shape in the sky.   We sit i...

Coming off of last week's blog, there are some major things I would like to be changed. If you haven't read that yet, I'll give a fast summary. Basically my job is to mascot for Chic-fil-A, so I walk around in a big costume, and some people mistreat me while in the costume. So after that rant about  negatives of my job and reading Swift's proposal, it has actually inspired me to make one of my own. But why does some animal need to make a proposal? A simple answer-- Middle Schoolers. Middle School aged people--the worst possible ages to go through. They are for sure, 100%, and the definite worst thing I encounter at work. Like I regret being a middle schooler, I'm pretty sure I was annoying. And I thoroughly apologize to all the people I ever spoke to during my lowest. I would punch my middle school self in the face if it was possible. But that's beside the point, we are to talk of my proposal. I offer this proposal to Somerset Mall, just ban anyone that is...
