Week Two: 1/22/16
Week two was a fun week of assignments. I really enjoyed doing the daily creates and the three different assignments. I liked how I was able to choose what I wanted to do instead of being told what specific assignment to complete. I feel that this made them more engaging because I was able to … Continue reading Week Two: 1/22/16 -
Week One: 1/15/16
I like to consider myself one that is good with technology, well I liked to think that. After this week tho, my knowledge was tested. Setting up my domain was pretty easy, as well as my blog but it took me forever to try and figure out how to publish my blog and get my … Continue reading Week One: 1/15/16 -

The day was July 10th 1890. Wyoming was admitted as the 44th state to the US, but “The barber” was born that same day. His name was Gus Lee. His father was a cowboy and the mother was a prostitute. After he was born the mother settled down in a little town. The father went […] -

For this writing assignment, I decided to go with the Wiki Game; it seemed like a fun little assignment, and -
Story Shape – Ice Man
I enjoyed the video by Vonnegut, and applied his method to the first story I read this week, which was -
Shaping stories
After watching the Shape of Stories I read “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky” by Stephen Crane. This western did not necessarily fit the Shape of Stories plot due to it being two stories within one, but each individual story fit into the models that were shown in the video. The story was split into … Continue reading Shaping stories -

Daily create Jun. 28, 2016 was to place a reflection of a Western landscape as a reflection in the windows of your house. Today is dark and rainy, so no external photography to be had. However, I took this kitchen shot a couple days ago when it was sunny and used the Bazaart app to add the view of Oregon’s John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Painted Hills Unit…not wanting to reinforce Arizona ’s inflated sense of owning at the Western scenery.

Week Three 1/23-29/16 Summary
When I looked at the To Do list of tasks to complete for this week’s assignments I did not seem as overwhelmed as I had the past two weeks. This is because I feel I am becoming more familiar with how my social media sites work and I have a better understanding how to operate … Continue reading Week Three 1/23-29/16 Summary -

The Different Shapes of Stories
I found Vonnegut’s little video about the “simple shapes of stories” to be very entertaining. I have never thought of stories in the form of shapes (especially graphs and lines). But, it definitely opened my eyes at how the majority of stories I have grown up reading and listening to, do take on one of … Continue reading The Different Shapes of Stories -
Weekly Summary
This week was kind of harder than the last couple of weeks, for some reason it seemed like there was more work. Also the snow days totally threw me off, because I got lazier and lazier as we got more school off. The assignment banks were great, because I prefer the writing ones. I decided … Continue reading "Weekly Summary" -

It’s Me, You from the Future
Dear Little Lindsey, At your age, you’ve already been through a lot – parents divorcing, mom going to college, moving across the country three times – and yet, much to my relief, you’ve always kept your head high. Honestly I’m really proud of you for that. People always tell you you’re smart and you try … Continue reading It’s Me, You from the Future → -
Brands
Charlie McCarty, my great grandfather, drove cattle from Texas to the New Mexico Territory for John B. Slaughter around 1882. The brand Slaughter used, ULazyS, shows the sly humor cowboys were known for. After Slaughter ... -

Daily Create 1480: Cattle brand
Ok so drawing with a computer mouse is difficult, but this is my design for a cattle brand. It’s based off my twitter handle mega_mc. The brand is the Greek letter Omega (since it has MEGA in it…) and then the letter M in the middle. If you turn Omega on its side it looks […] -
Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut talks about the different shapes of stories, and the first shape he talks about is starting above average and then they get down and come back up. Another one he talks about is starting average thing and then something goes wonderful but then come back down and up again. The last story he […] -
Western Stories
In this blog post we had to read up on more western stories to get us thinking and learn more about western themes. First I read old western legends, the first thing that caught my eye were old west photos, and then old west people. I think this is really cool, having old photographs of […] -
Western Character
The Western Belle, Boy is she pretty, with long wavy hair, blue eyes and some great cowboys boots. Every boy drools over the western belle because she is a lady but when its time to rodeo its like she’s is a different person. She knows how to stay on a bull and fight like a […] -
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
YEEHAW! Damn cowboys I just got into a shootout with a bunch of city-slickers. But boy were they bad, they thought they could yonder to my barn and cahoot my horses! No son of a gun gets past me! So I took out my pistols and put my hat on (to show them I was […] -

Mami, I grew up as a middle child, and always felt far from you. I seemed to think you always favored my older sister over me, but as I grew up, I realized that I was wrong. Instead you would teach her to care for her younger siblings while you were gone during the day. […] -
To my riser
Riser (according to Dierks Bentley): life is hard, man, and you’ve got to give it your all to succeed My family moved to the U.S when I was 8 years old, we came with nothing. We lived in a one bedroom apartment with 5 people, and started off with nothing. Yet somehow, it never felt […] -
