Know Thyself

Who am I? I am a person of enthusiasm and excitement. I am polite and caring. I am a person who tries hard at what I want to succeed at. But with all these good things there are some bad, some down falls to being me. I have an issue with lying. If I don't know what to do or how to do it I tend to push it away and act like it was never there. I get snippy pretty quickly and defensive pretty easily. I get extremely lazy at times and need a little push to get going. I have trust issues due to too many people breaking my trust and I find it pretty difficult to make friends. I can easily talk to new people, but only if its not about me. When a conversation turns to me, I tend to get defensive and shy away from the conversation or change the topic of conversation. I don't tell many people what is going on in my life and I try to solve my own life problems with out any help; even when I really need help. I tend to shy away from asking for help.
I  have some depression problems and anxiety issues but I push through as best I can. I like to be alone but never bored. If I am bored, I tend to over think and get angry with myself and anyone around me. I am generally a nice person and never mean to hurt anyone emotionally, but I do know that I may say the wrong things or say the right things in the wrong tone of voice. I apologize way to often and I'm sorry about that. I am a little slow at reading and writing but I do both very well (well I think I do).
I love to write and draw and create a world outside of my own. I keep a notebook full of all of my daydreams and when I am "bored" I open it up and slip out of this world and into another, more perfect world for me. In most peoples eyes I am weird, odd and out of place in this life of ours. In school I am seen as the drifter, drifting from one friend group to another, never really fitting in any where.

These 'Indesturctible' Animals Would Survive a Planet-Wide Apocalypse -review day 22

An Animal that can survive even up until the sun quits shinning? No... that can't be true. But it is. Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are tiny water-dwelling creatures that are famed for their resiliency. They can survive for up to 30 years without food or water and can endure extreme temperature changes. WHAT?! No, not okay. They can even survive astrophysical events, like supernovas and asteroid strikes. I'm sorry but no way is that even possible! If they can survive all that, does that mean they can survive someone stepping on them? Are they completely impossible to kill? I'm only asking because tiny, eight-legged things resemble spiders, and I hate spiders.

Music

Our culture today doesn't sing publicly or even a loud. We fear being off key and out of tune. Before people were so self conscious, people would sing as large groups all the time not really caring how bad it sounded. For example, Andy Crouch recalls when he was a kid at a base ball game, the crowd would sing the National Anthem, all together and not very well but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that the National Anthem was sung. Nowadays, you never here the crowd sing the National Anthem (well, unless there's technical difficulties with the recording or a singer is too nervous), you always hear a professional sing it now, someone who actually sounds good; and the crowd does what they'll be doing the entire event: watching, listening, and enjoying. I find this fairly odd and honestly, I wish we'd go back to the days where everyone sang out nations song. Singing, I think, brings people together. Pete Seeger knew that most people cannot sing on key to save ...

A Mid-Show Fire Alarm? How to Prep for Onstage Mishaps-Review Day 11

During the most emotional and meaningful part of a performance inspired by the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, the fire alarm sounds. With the perfect timing of the alarm, most of the audience remained seated, treating it like it was part of the performance, when in reality, the on stage smoke mixed with the humidity, setting off the fire alarm, creating a real need to evacuate until the fire department gave the all clear. What is a performer supposed to do when something like the above happens? Dr. Charlie Brown,  a retired performance psychologist who has worked with dancers from Charlotte Ballet, talks about the difference between successful and not as successful performers in tricky situations like this, "The most successful performers aren't more perfect; they know how to visualize performance success and mentally prep for when things go wrong," says Dr. Charlie Brown in a interview with Dance Magazine. Dr. Brown suggests that to be a successful performer, you ...
