Tips For Better Photography Page: There were several tips that really helped me change the way I think about taking photos. One in particular was “change my perspective by changing yours”. I took this awesome photo while I was at work from an angle I wouldn’t normally consider, but I think it turned out breathtaking! …

The Road I liked this movie so much, I had to do Say It Like the Peanut Butter twice! SPOILERS AHEAD I’ll get the ball rolling by being honest: this movie made me cry. I teared up several times, and I thought I was gonna make it – nope. When Viggo Mortensen kicked the bucket, so […]

La Jetee My first thought of La Jetee after the first couple of minutes was that I had seen a movie like this before. A movie where people have their dreams manipulated. The movie I instantly thought of was the movie Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio. But this is besides the point. Throughout the early parts …

I am not very familiar with this subject matter but after reading some short stories and diving into my novel “I Am Legend” I have really acclimated to it.

End Day Throughout the five apocalypse scenarios (tsunami, asteroid, eruption, virus, and “strangelet”) I noticed how the main character got closer to his goal each time the day reset. Also, the strangelet cascade was the only apocalypse explicitly produced by man – every other apocalypse was natural. Perhaps the episode implies that, even if humanity […]
