The 40 Year Old Virgin

"Reel" Life

My favorite movie of all time is Step Brothers. I love the humor and nostalgic feelings that come with this movie for me. My friends and I have watched it so many times together since about 8th grade, and it’s still funny. I don’t usually care for super depressing movies because I don’t like to be sad or the people around me to be. I don’t watch movies often or regularly, I mostly watch T.V. shows, I probably watch a movie every few weeks at the most. For movie watching I like the be in a dark room and have snacks and drinks.

If my life story was made into a movie, John Krasinski would play me. One plot would be the daily life of going to school and work and where that takes me. Another plot would be the summer of meeting Regan and everything that happened during summer for us to be together.

Iconic Photo

This iconic photo is Steve Jobs, introducing the first iPod in 2001. I feel this picture can very well represent our generation in a way. During our lives, technology has advanced so much and possibly the most it has in history. Just a little after we were all born, the first iPod is released. From there they advanced to the iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod touch, iPads, and iPhones. It reminds me of being a kid and my mom getting the very first iPod shuffle with a gigabyte of memory maybe, which was a lot at the time. Now we walk around with the digital space to store plenty of photos, songs, and even movies. We have grown up and advanced with this technology and it is like a second nature for us to have it always on us and use it.

Halloween Themed Story

 You open your eyes and it is completely dark. The only thing you remember is driving to the store to get groceries, but before you got into the store something happened. When you realize you're hanging upside down with your feet tied together, you hear something breathing. You don't know what to do, at first you stay still and silent. As you start to say something, it asks what you were doing. Its voice is deep, dark, and scratchy. It grabs your head and laughs in your face. Your body starts to go numb and suddenly it cuts the tight ropes around your legs to let you down. When the last thread of the rope breaks, you fall 5 feet to the floor.

Her dad is off to World War 2 so her fears are at their highest right now. She misses her father to death and is starting to have a hard time at home while he is gone.

A couple years later, her dad ends up getting home. She has improved so much since he was gone that he almost can't believe it. Finally their family is together and she is going to have even more support to become what she dreams to be.

Photo Scavenger Hunt

This round wood table was found in the library.  I like the wood grain texture and the setting for doing research or other school work.

This yellow square table was also found in the library. I personally don't enjoy the color very much to study or do work. But it is a happy color so maybe it could work. 

I think a little kid would notice these toy dolls and want to play with them.  I found these in the library on top of book shelves as student work being displayed. I like the simple circle head shapes and body with the very detailed painting.

This football with jerseys and jersey numbers on it was a student work on display. There is a notecard with it explaining what it represents and why they chose that object. It reminds me of the objects we brought in at the beginning of this class.

The library courtyard. Last year in Mr. Ryan's class we came out here a few times and it always reminds me of that when I see the courtyard through the windows. I really enjoyed his class and the times spent out there so being reminded of those times is nice.

These three cameras and ceiling tile make a funny looking smiley face to me. It was fun to look for faces in random things because I ended up finding a few. It interests me to see all of the random, crazy faces people find everyday.

The school bathrooms, something that seems to annoy everyone in school. The sinks are all different, and most don't even work. A lot of the toilet seats are weird and messed up. I remember my middle school bathrooms being so much more nice than the ones at kickapoo.

This rock was found in the science wing. I really like whatever material makes it have that sparkle effect. It is crazy to think these kinds of things are just randomly found in nature.

I took this picture of books outside of Mr. Arredondo's room. It reminded me of freshman year and taking physics with him.

During the photo hunt we ran into my friend Hayden in the commons. We have a lot of fun times and memories from he past years and summers. I love spending time with my friends, laughing, and doing random things having fun.

Gas by Hopper

Gas by Hopper is my favorite painting by him. I really like how it is dark out yet well lit by the gas station. I like the deep, darkness in the right of the painting that shows how dark it is in the night, it is a little bit eerie but I really enjoy it. This dark alleyway in the back also reminds me of the "Hash Slinging Slasher" from SpongeBob. It looks like the man working at the station is messing with the gas pump maybe fixing it or taking out the money. This makes me think they used to use coins for gasoline because we didn't have credit cards, that would be strange now to see someone using change to pay for our gas. I really enjoy the feeling of this painting even though it could be a little spooky in a way. I could see this being used as a beginning of a scary movie. While he is messing with the machine or taking money out he hears something far out in the woods getting closer, rustling through the leaves. While the man is back inside the station, after a lonesome car stops for some gas, he sees this thing in the woods and it keeps coming closer.
