    Why Does Art Exist?

    To MiniJamesW: Man, I wish I had your optimism about Hollywood. I think the reason why they're downgrading is because they're constantly on the defense. With online movies and shows, compounded with illegal downloading and better stories on T.V, its kind of making them conservative in their...

    Why Does Art Exist?

    Thanks man! I'm certainly trying to present a new perspective but hey, if I fail to do this then at least I can have fun making some movies before I settle on a teaching job.

    Why Does Art Exist?

    Hahah. I guess its true when they say that 70% of the conversation is lost when body language is absent. I was being sincere.

    Why Does Art Exist?

    Oh man, I need to hang out with your circle of friends! This is definitely true. Perhaps, I was basing this off of my own observations for, my circle of friends seem to live this kind of life. We need more exciting people like you! Thanks for taking the time to read the article. It took me...

    Why Does Art Exist?

    Oh wow, I didn't even know that happened in Japan but, it makes a lot of sense. Like you, I sort of picked up on a strange pattern while I was studying history for a while. But, now I'm really interested in seeing where we go with film. I don't think Hollywood is going to die but I definitely...

    Why Does Art Exist?

    Art is a byproduct of our struggle to process and understand issues or conflicts because we're hard-wired to do this. Not all of us are artists, but all of us have dreams because we have to understand our daily conflicts. That's why we undergo neural plasticity because we're making more...

    Why Does Art Exist?

    The Art of Art Today I had eight hours of sleep. That’s an hour more than what the doctor’s recommend for someone my age, which means that I shouldn’t have felt tired. But, I did. My entire day was ruined. I was sluggish, unmotivated, and unprepared to deal with every problem that came my...

    The Orgy of Species

    Hmmm...Definitely more accurate but, I was kinda trying to go for shock. But, I might get in trouble with the title that I have so yeah...maybe Survival of the Species is better. Thanks, man!

    The Orgy of Species

    This is an un-edited article I had to write for a class. I think the message is clear. what do you think? The Orgy of Species The other day, I went out with a woman for the first time in a while and it was great because we had sex, but we also moved on and never called each other after that...

    Motivational Speech I have to give.

    What do you think? It seems that a lot of people I meet are stuck in a state of complacency with how everything around them is panning out. It’s as though we feel hopeless in being able to change anything so we work towards that safe mediocre lifestyle. But what does mediocrity give us but...

    The Demise of Human Greatness

    Fair enough. Looks like I need to make a few edits. Regardless, what do you think about the article?

    The Demise of Human Greatness

    I didn't say they were on the decline. I said the use of drugs was stagnating, as in neither increasing or decreasing. http://www.unodc.org/documents/wdr/WDR_2010/2.0_Drug_statistics_and_Trends.pdf http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/ccp/58/4/385/ Obviously the explanation is up for debate...

    The Demise of Human Greatness

    Drugs are absolutely an enormous facet in our everyday lives. Now, I’m not saying we’re a nation full of addicts, but we are a nation that likes to experiment with drugs. Seriously think about the last time you drank a beer, smoked a joint, or took a pill? Last week? Three months ago...

    Just a lil something to get you going again.

    Meditate, Reflect, and Question Yourself Understanding Success and What it Really Means. I’ll admit I don’t travel much, but just being around the people in my stable life right now tells me that the rest of the World must be pretty crazy. I live with the everyday person in America in a...

    Does this first scene grab your attention?

    Hmmm...Interesting. Sorin is a quiet character. You know, kind of an observer of things, but yeah, maybe I should drag it out so the tempo is smoother. That's a mistake I made when I did the promo for the web series. We took an exciting scene from the middle of the series and went too fast...

    Does this first scene grab your attention?

    Excellent point! This really did happen, however when he slashed his throat, he just barely missed the artery so even though he bled, it wasn't as profuse as its depicted in the dream, which he has over and over again since he's scarred from it. And yes, this is a very fundamental plot point...

    Does this first scene grab your attention?

    Yeah, I should know better. This is a first draft so I just sort of threw my ideas down on paper. Now, I'll need to go back and change the formatting. You're totally right. It needs to be readable and presented better so that other people won't cringe when they read it.
