    Assignment Bank #1

    by
    Dear Future Husband, As of January 17, 2016 I have no idea who you are, but I am excited to find out in the near future. Last year I went through something really difficult that made me realize and fully know the kind of man I want to be with/share a future with. So here it […]

    Me?

    by
    Yeah, you. You will only live once, so what are you going to do? Well whatever it is, I’m sure it’s great. Today I am going to be sharing with you what I plan to do in my lifetime. Considering the assignment calls for a bucket list of 5, I have carefully picked these five […]

    What do Westerns mean to me? A declaration in two parts about Music, Story, and Activism

    by
    I’ll admit that the idea of participating in #Western106 is a bit of a struggle for me.  I sympathize with Maha Bali’s most recent post on this subject. I can see the political implications of Westerns as a genera and I’m not in agreement. I’m not a fan of violence. But I pride myself on turning … Continue reading What do Westerns mean to me?

    Westerns: The ride began for me

    by
    Western = what does it mean to me? Excellent question! I am not totally ready to deeply reflect or describe what Westerns mean to me or what I think they are, but I gotta get something down in this first week. Our scout Alan Levine – has a wonderful read or Sandy Brown Jensen a ... Read more...

    About Me

    by
    There isn’t really any reason for me to be writing this. But the prerequisites of a little something I’m exploring currently, were a blog post on either an existing blog or a new one. And I could think of nothing else to write. My name is Aroma Rodrigues. The former is my dad being sentimental…

    Week One Summary

    by
    This week went smoothly. Although I have no experience writing a blog or creating a website, I feel as if it has gone smoothly so far due to the clear, concise and easy to follow instructions from the bootcamp page. The most difficult part of this process was figuring out how to utilize the web […]

    Make My Day, Pilgrim.

    by
    From the futuristic thoughts of the 1980’s and 90’s being reflected in Back to the Future to the social unrest of present day being mirrored by Django Unchained, Westerns represent a movie genre reflecting America’s current social state in a setting of the past. But to me, westerns still conjure up strong images of cowboys […]

    Weekly Summary

    by
    Okay, ready, reflect! Today was a good day. I learned a lot today. I made my first youtube video. I posted myself, in a video, online. Something I don’t EVER do. I had my reservations about this course. When I inquired about openings in the course, I never expected to get a reply, and I […]

    My Western Exposure

    by
    Western movies that come to mind when I think back on my youth: City Slickers, Wild Wild West, Back to the Future part III. Yes, most of my western genre movie memories include comedies. I am a product of the 90’s, I suppose. I also loved Last of the Mohicans, and Dances with Wolves (Is […]

    Adventure is out there

    by
    It feels like yesterday that my family and I packed up my belongings and moved me to UMW for my first semester freshman year. The fact that I am a senior and about to graduate really puts in perspective how fast time moves and that I am about to be out in the real world. […]

    So Vanna was sporting my 2-gallon hat and my shooting irons when she revealed the special answer to the special question that I put on the show for guests in an upcoming episode. It was nice that today’s The Daily Create was worded the way it was, because it was just a special prompt to […]
