FEAR: DAY 1

To be honest I sat there on the hard, cold, uncomfortable floor wondering for many of the projects "What the hell they afriad of". A lot of the presentations wasn't clear to me what they was afraid of, while a lot of projects from people was trying to create fear from others and not from their own fears. I thought one or two presentations were creative. I just wish some fear projects would make me uncomfortable like the seating on the floor did lol.

MANKINDS GREATEST WEAKNESS

What is FEAR to me?
=>To me FEAR is a series of events that include external or internal stimuli's that triggers different responses within us or to our bodies which creates the emotion we can FEAR.

->FEAR is set by thoughts that we implant within our minds. It's usually created by negative reinforcements at different stages in our lives.
->Although a lot of people view FEAR as a bad thing, FEAR is actually needed in the world to keep ORDER and prevent CHAOS.

=>A man without FEAR wouldn't obey the authorities, nor would he experience any anxiety. A man without FEAR would openly speak his mind since he wouldn't FEAR what others think, feel, or say. He would live RECKLESSLY everyday of his life through unsafe tasks such as unprotected sex, speeding, drugs, and murder. A man without FEAR would have no boundaries in life.

FEAR is mankind's greatest weakness. FEAR limits man from reaching his full potential, his goals, and confrontations. We Fear what we are weak of or is out of our control.


MY FEAR EXPERIMENT

(The situation and the experiment)
In my past I have had a lot of fears. Some fears were longer lasting than others while others were short-term. In my situation I used one of my little tangible fears, the balloons. The balloon pack came in a variety of colors, so I decided to associate each past fear of mine with a color of a balloon. Red= Mom(ster) Black= Afraid of the dark Blue=drowing and etc. By popping the balloons I wanted to release all those past fears along with the tangible of fear of popping balloons.
(The reaction)
The reaction from the class is exactly what I thought it would be. A lot of laughs and giggles came from the classroom as I popped those balloons. Laughs came when I didn't pop the cheaper balloons.

BUNIFA LATIFAH HALIFAH SHARIFA JACKSON N A PROCRASTINATION DUMMY

Bliss Day
Last Monday I decided to hang out with a friend for the rest of day for my bliss assignment. My friend had just moved to Indianapolis from TN and was hating the weather, the city, and the people here so far. I chose to introduce my friend to BUNIFA...JACKSON. Bunifa is fictional character on the hit television MADTV. We sat at his house watching BUNIFA clips for over an hour in a halve laughing so hard.

Stuff Animal
From the day we received the stuffed animals my Gumby has been riding in the BACKSEAT of my car for the last two weeks. The Gumby doll represents WORK and not just any work but school work. I have had the doll for two weeks and yet I waited till the day before the assignment is due to do something with it. Over the past two weeks I have received a D on a speech that I practiced for a day before I had to give it. The worst part about receiving the D is that the teacher had put I would of gotten a B if I didnt go over my time by two minutes. If I would have studied more I would have knew I had too much info in my speech. This last sat I had a midterm exam I knew about for two weeks, but yet I waited three days before I had to take it to start studying over 8 chapters. I believe I did okay on the exam but not my best.

Mr. Gumby represents my PROCRASTINATING attitude over my school work. Gumby is so FLEXIBLE (or at least suppose to be since he is like all stretchy) maybe I should try to build a flexible schedule around my school work, work, and free time.

I was thinking lately about how there is one topic we never discussed which is missing from the flowchart and that is MOTIVATION. At first I categorized motivation with inspiration until I realized those two terms are different.


Motivation is an emotion that enables someone to keep going and sometimes push pass there mental, emotional, even physical limits.

Inspiration is an feeling that we all feel that arouse our intellect but a lot of times this feeling isn't long lasting.

Personal Views

I was born with a short attention span, so my best work is done when I cram the process into a short time such as less than a week. Just this pass Valentines Day I spent a total of three days creating a booklet from scratch for a very special person that has been out of my life for six months. I wrote down all the songs that would remind me of her, wrote down the specific lyrics in each song that stuck out to me and on the other side of the page wrote how I was feeling at that particular time in my life. I also made a CD so she could hear the songs while reading the book.
Inspiration> Was the girl Was making physical items (booklet) and CD to show
Concept>I wanted her to know what I was going through the last six months without her
Product> A good V Day present lol

V-Day LoveStrukk Field Trip

I had a date last Monday around six, so I didn't care for the field trip. I was going to leave early, but we were dismissed earlier than expected. For the things we saw during the field trip I have seen three years back when I was given a tour of the IT Building as an incoming freshman to Informatics. There wasn't anything that I saw last Monday that I hadn't already seen before.

GreeN DooRS, PeNis N Bible, GET OUT EARLY? WHAT!!!

I thought last week class was interesting. I liked the effort put into that guy who did the green light effect for this bathroom door, I thought that was cool. It was funny hearing Jason talk about penis's in the bible and all the words he spelled out. The best part for me was when all of a sudden the teacher made the statement to go home a storm is coming. I was too happy to be leaving cause I had a date to make it to anyways only didn't make it to the date cause of the weather lol.

BrEAKiN My OwN RuLES (What's mine is mine)

Okay so today in my first class of the day I was damn well falling asleep when the teacher was given a example of different ways of telling a story. The teacher had forgotten one of this photos for the example so he had grabbed the first pen he saw, which unluckily was mine. I have a rule if i let someone borrow something (in this case grab without asking) I almost immediately want it back. I guess I have a possessive personality. I was feeling generous today and let him use it the rest of the class even after he was done using it....

AS A RESULT I witness him rubbing it throughout his fingers and putting it in his mouth, I think I forgot to mention this is one of my favorite pens, so I was like "he can keep that SHIT" lol.

AS A RESULT OF THAT RESULT I ended up penless for the rest of the day doomed to use a mechanical pencil.
