Dying hair can be quite stressful and a little pain full

Lets see... where to begin, my suitemate and I game of with the grand idea of bleaching out my hair and making me a ginger with big chunks of blonde in it. Needless to say it’s not ass easy as it may seem.

I’ve had hair dye on my head on and off for about 4 hours now. My scalp is on fire, my hair is bright orange (because we forgot to put the no red drops in it woops!) and I have a really big headache. haha wow. at this point I’m scared that my hair is going to fallout. Goodness I sure hope not.

I’m starting to wonder if this is what it feels like to be on a makeover show. Minus the bleaching of the teeth, the boob job, the face lift, and what ever else those crazy people put themselves through.

confront/interact with a culture different from my own

I come from a small city in Wisconsin of about 15,000 people. Most of which are white middle class citizens, a couple hundred mexicans, some asians and very few blacks. When I lived in Minneapolis there were quite a few whites, blacks, asians and so on and so forth, but I attended that Art Institute International Minnesota and the majority of the students were middle class or rich white people. I was never really given the chance to interact with other cultures and experience there way of life.

I moved to Chicago a couple months ago and I have been so overwhelmed and caught of guard with all different cultures. Truthfully I was a little intimidated and scared at first and I still am. But I feel so privileged to be able to be exposed to all these different cultures, it’s unreal. Back home in Wisconsin you would never get this unless you lived in Milwaukee or Madison but even then it would be to this extent.

I changed roommates a couple weeks into the semester because my first one was extremely mean and I wanted to rip her face off. (haha can’t help it, it you knew her you would totally understand and would want to do the same.) I was then placed into a room that I am in right now. My roommate is from Maryland and she’s black... and yes at first I was a little nervous because I had never had to live with someone from another culture or race, I didn’t know what to expect and didn’t want to say anything that would offend her, at times I tend to just say shit and I don’t pay attention to the words that I’m saying and they can be kinda racy if you taken the wrong way. After a week or so I was fine and I have been so intrigued by her and her families background. My vocabulary has changed a bit, thank goodness. I’m so used to being around a bunch of colored open minded individuals that when I went home for easter I was going crazy because people from home are so annoying now and they don’t understand what I’m talking about...

Great Film Qualities

There are several aspect that need to be put together to make a great film. The film has to leave a Lasting Impression. The Story and Theme through out the store have to be interesting and well written. You have to have the right actors and actresses cast, they do not have to be well known but they do have to be able to play the part and play it well. The Production Values have to be done in a way that will fit the story line. The right type of editing, lighting and cinematography work. for example to make a scary movie your not going to want to make everything bright and clean cut, it’s going to be a little darker lighting and a bit edgy. And last but not least Audio is VERY important, it sets the tone and vibe of the movie, Scary movies wouldn’t be scary with out it.

Airline Tickets

Why do Airline Tickets have to cost so much? sigh, no good! I’m trying to find cheap tickets to fly to London for my Cousins Wedding this summer. By the looks of it, it doesn’t matter if I depart from Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago tickets are over $1200 a piece, YIKES, No good! It’s sooo frustrating, to bad they don’t have a train that’ll take me to London from Chicago, That would be awesome but i would take forever to get there.

Foreign country/culture

For me to choose just one country/culture that I’d like to be a part of before I die is quite difficult. There are so maybe places I would to experience. I think I’d have to say living in Ireland or Scotland. Both of those countries are beautiful. idk I have always wanted to travel there and study abroad in both of those countries. I love the idea of a man wearing a kilt, they are SWEEEEEET and plaid is amazing I’d wear it everyday if I could. What attracts me so much to is that the people there are so different seem to be very laid back and up for drinking ... totally different world then what I’m used to.

Sadly Spring Break is OVER!

yeah spring break is over but it’s not the end of the world.

Lets see lets see!!! Spring Break 2009 had it’s pros and cons. hmm isn’t spring break supposed to be relaxing? yep thats what I thought it is supposed to be. Mine wasn’t so much this year. I left my computer in Wisconsin because I refused to do any home work over break.. haha BIG mistake because I had so much to do and none of it got done and I was wigging out all week over it and now its sunday and I’m not even close to having that shit done. haha.

Montana was a lot of fun. Snowboarding and spending time with my sister was great. even though I got my ass handed to me on the slops I still had a lot of fun snowboarding

Why I'm here

The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was “The Little Mermaid” in 1989. Wow I was blown away. Ever since I’ve been in LOVE with movies. My parents would have to kick me out of the house to see the sun and interact with other kids. I would be glued to the television screen watching movies 24/7. It wasn’t until High School that I thought about making film as my career. I have the type of parents and grandparents that thought art wasn’t a feasible career and always tried to change my mind. BUT that wasn’t going to happen no matter what. Both of my parents views have changed over the years once they saw how dedicated I was to making my dreams come true.
I graduated in 2004 and moved to Minneapolis, MN I went to the Art Institutes International Minnesota for 4 semesters for Visual Effects. And it was ok BUT it wasn’t what I was looking for I really wanted to do editing so I moved home and I thought about going to a state school for awhile. And thats what I did I was working 35+ hrs a week and going to school full time at University of Wisconsin Fond du Lac. I HATED it there it was like being in high school all over again. so I transfered again after a couple semesters to Online classes at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco for EDITING. and I absolutely loved it and I had all of these plans to move out to San Francisco to start my new life (the city is AMAZING) but that all fell through when I started falling apart and my life had fallen apart right before my eyes. and I end up taking a year off and getting myself the help that I needed. and I opted not to go back to San Francisco because the past 18 months I have gotten really close to my family again and I’m started to grow up and I really want them to be in my life and being in San Francisco right now would tear me apart... So I took the next best thing Columbia College in Chicago for editing. and I totally love this school I’m not so much of a fan of Chicago, this city scares the shit out of me.. yikes No good!!! I do often wonder what it would be like if I would have just moved out to San Francisco instead of Chicago. Wonder how my life would be different, would like it? would I be more out going? ... I guess I’ll never know.
