The good, the bad, and the ugly teammate

Positive:
• Honest
• Creative
• Reliable
• Hard working
• Trustworthy

Negative:
• Passive
• Stubborn
• Defensive
• Apatheic
• Disorganized

These traits describe exactly how I am as a teammate, if you've worked with me before I'm sure you will understand. I don't want to sound cocky as if I'm the most honest, creative, reliable, hard working, and trustworthy person out there, but I would say I am pretty good at those things. I hate lying so that makes me honest, I think of weird shit so hopefully that means I'm creative, I'm reliable, hard working, and trustworthy because I'm always on time and do everything in my power to meet deadlines.
As for the bad traits... being passive, stubborn, defensive, apathetic, and disorganized is pretty much how I live my life. If someone says they have a good idea and they are excited for it I will just keep quiet and let them go with it, on the other hand, if I have a good idea and they don't want to use it i will tell them to eat shit. If the project isn't going my way I may tend to seem a little apathetic and lose interest in the whole thing. As for disorganization, I am getting better ( I bought a binder this semester ) but other then that, my life is a mess.

My hero

To be honest, I'm not too sure what influences me. I want to say that everything does but I don't think I will get a good mark on this if I do. I know I started drawing because of my brother, Will. When we were kids he would always draw South Park characters that were cross bred with Mortal Kombat characters, seriously, what better combination could there be? My brother stopped drawing and followed his destiny as the Ko family math prodigy, while I kind of just stayed the kid who attempted to draw South Park verses Mortal Kombat fights.
These days there isn't really a solid role model that I follow, it is pretty much the world around me that shapes who I am. Everything I feel from family, friends, music, movies, artist's work, stories, pretty much anything, anything that makes my mind wonder or pleases my heart.

Design is... (revised again)

So I was walking home this morning and I was thinking of a quote I had read the night before. The quote spoke of what inspiration is, how someone gets inspired and what can be done with inspiration. The quote was long but it was so good I couldn't stop reading it. On my way home I had a revelation about my own design process, I realized that the quote had described my design process in a way I could never word. Sadly I thought I saved the quote on my computer, but I did not.

Design is the collective thought of the universe. Each idea and concept adapted to a new host to better itself.

(Before revision)
My views on what design is hasn't changed from my post five weeks ago.

"Design is for solving a problem, and then using the results to blow the human mind again and again until it explodes from amazement overload."

Media Usage

The week I recorded was from February 8 – 14.
I found that my media usage is really scheduled. There are a few certain times each day that I will use a certain type of media ie. using the computer every morning to see what the weather will be like, listening to music on my commute to school, or every night when I start my assignments. These occasions differentiate from other parts of the day where I am forced to use certain media ie. in class when I need to use a computer to do work, or at work when I am forced to pick up the phone.

The computer is definitely my most used media, even if you take out the school usage it is still the most used media.
• 54 hours
• 45 E-mails received (mostly junk )
• 4 E-mails sent

I'm not a big talker on my cellphone, I like to talk on it for a few minutes to make plans and thats it. I will occasionally have the conversations that go on for hours but this week my longest was 27 minutes.
• 1 hr 42 minutes

Texting is a glorious cellphone tool. Because of the way I talk on the phone I find it much more convenient to text then to talk.
• 54 text messages recieved
• 61 text messages sent

Books and magazines are the smallest media use. I'm not trying to make myself sound uneducated or illiterate, I just do not read much. The only times I read books, magazines, or newspapers is on the morning commute to school or when I get any of my subscriptions. None came this week.
• 1 hour

Music is my one source of joy when I commute from place to place.
• 28 hours

Television and movies are a big portion of my media usage. Because of my lack of access to a television I watch all my Television and movies from other sources, I do not want to admit to watching them anywhere illegal so I will be vague.
• 10 hours

My final graph to show my media use in my everyday life will be posted on Tuesday when I hand it in

God?

God? poster I created in Typography 3, semester 3 at Humber College

So I watched Zeitgeist for the second time today and it inspired me to start writing my conspiracy blogs. The movie itself shows evidence, or lack there of, that Christianity is false.
Growing up in a Christian household myself, I have been taught the word of the Bible every Sunday ever since I was born. The story of Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus Christ, has been told to me countless number of times. The "miracle" that birthed Jesus Christ was known to be impossible. How could a girl who had never been sexually active give birth to a baby?

A few weeks ago I had stumbled upon this link, the story reports about a one year old baby who was pregnant. Is this a miracle? Not at all. It is explained by doctors in the article "One of the world's most bizarre medical conditions is known as fetus in fetu. It is an extremely rare abnormality that occurs when a fetus gets trapped inside its twin. The trapped fetus can survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cordlike structure that leaches its twin's blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene."

So what are we supposed to make of this? The virgin Mary doesn't seem so farfetched now does it? It is possible for a girl to be pregnant without having sexual relations. I've discussed this story with a few friends and the only statement that could be argued is that this is a baby that is pregnant and the virgin Mary was a teenager. Well the miracle behind the virgin Mary is not related to her age, it is that she is a virgin.

To conclude, I'm not saying a god does not exist. I'm just saying the evidence is piling up my friend... the evidence is piling up.
