I Was 5 Once.

I distinctly remember one winter when I was a child... It was almost Christmas and like every year, my Grandpa had his glorious tree up, covered in lights and ornaments and all that Christmas jazz.  Like most little kids, I was very curious and like most little kids -- I didn't know what was good for me.  I remember being in the living room while my mother and her sister talked about who knows what and I remember going through my Grandpa's random crap on his book shelf where I found the perfect example of a paperclip.  Excellent, I thought.  I remember having the overwhelming desire to to stick said paperclip into whatever I came across and what I came across just happened to be a power outlet.  Luckily before I could do any serious damage I was apprehended by The Mom, probably for the best.  Shortly after I was caught pulling dirt out of one of the potted plants... I got in trouble a lot.  :]  There's a picture of me throwing the dirt everywhere somewhere around my house, will post it if I find it.

EDIT:  Yeeeah, I'm gonna have to throw in a small edit here.  When I was young-er (maybe not 5, but bare with me) I would try to pick the locks around my house, odd right? I thought it was really cool/I wanted to be like James Bond who was always breaking into places.  I used credit cards and occasionally...!!! paperclips.  That it is all really.  This assignment was hard, however I felt like I could, ya know, spice it up a little and tell a few stories from my past.  So I did.  :D?

Stuck Out.

Something that stuck out today in class, in my opinion, would be Chris' story of his friend's death and it's anniversary.  It was definitely very serious and sad, quite different from how the class usually is.  What happened was tragic, and it reminded me of how fragile life is on this planet.  Everything is vulnerable almost all of the time and it's very easy to take life and everything it offers for granted.  When you think of how old the Universe currently is (~13.7 billion years) and how short the average life span is for a human being... it really puts it into perspective of what we are and how lucky we are to even be alive at all.

No Eyeballs, Please

For this assignment I created a short, creepy song in the spirit of Halloween which is in the not-so-distant future.  Enjoy, or don't.

Genies Era, You Wad Ye Sis

I created something!  :]

Here is a sound clip I made:

Now here is the same sound clip reversed, sped up by 25% and de-echoed.  Are you seeing sideways?
