Good Mythical Morning

My day usually starts with my daily episode of Good Mythical Morning, my favorite daily web show. I look forward to the new episode, every week day when I wake up. Each episode makes me laugh, no matter what it is. I love Good Mythical Morning.

What is GMM, you ask? Well, it consists of two guys, named Rhett and Link: doing anything from trivia games, to cool science articles, and even their life experiences sometimes- and posting it on YouTube. but I always anticipate the next episode one way or another. They do all this every week day in ten minute films, with an after-show that varies in time.

A big reason I love Rhett and Link is their show, yes- and their amazing songs. Yes, you heard me- songs. Rhett and Link are both amazing at singing and Rhett even plays the guitar! Shamefully, (well if you put it that way) I have bought twelve of their songs on iTunes.

Some people may not like GMM, but I for one- love it very much. Loving every part of it- and I sure hope that more people will join the army of mythical beasts.

Media & a Memory: Finding Nemo

When I was little, I couldn’t live without Finding Nemo. I don’t know why, but it’s just the best movie. EVER. Finding Nemo had fish rolling around in bags in a dentist’s office, anememoninonomie (how I said Anemone when I was three), and even a creepy girl with braces.

Finding Nemo made me feel like I understood fish- but I only looked like an idiot when I tried to speak to the family fish tank. I still remember the Finding Nemo books at the bookstore I begged my mom to get- and the Finding Nemo DVD case I embellished with fish stickers.

I never watched a single movie other than Finding Nemo the whole year I was three. Without my Finding Nemo time,  I would drive my mom nuts- because I would have nothing else to do. I was basically a Finding Nemo addict, because I swear I watched it like every single day.

Amazing Apps

Apps- some fun, some innovative- and some make me want to facepalm. Out of the hundreds… Of THOUSANDS. Of like- BAJILLIONS of them- I have narrowed it down to the five most fun, interesting, and a way to pass the time.

One of my absolute FAVORITE apps to use is Draw Something 2. Yes, it’s buggy, but possibly one of the coolest apps for artists, like me. It’s where you draw a picture from the hundreds of colors and many tools, and then your partner tries to guess what it is. Kind of like pictionary, but a lot more fun and easy, and you can play with a random player, so anyone can play. You can also just draw for fun, and have your friends and members of the draw something can like, and even comment on it, and return the favor by liking drawings from the thousands of players.

Another amazing app is QuizUp. Now this app is for EVERYONE. QuizUp is a game where you choose from the 250+ topics, and then you are matched against a random player, asked seven questions, and the player who answers the most amount of questions right and the fastest wins XP towards leveling up your topic. From Cats, Minecraft, Pokemon, Botany, and even things like the American Revolution- there is a topic for everyone.

Instagram is ok for sharing photos- but what we really need is an app to categorize, repost, and follow only our favorites. Oh wait, we already have that! Pinterest is what your looking for. Pinterest is great because you can create individual boards- for example: you can create a board for cats, where you pin everything cats, and then you can have a board for makeup, and then someone who really likes makeup but they don’t care for cats can follow your makeup board and get all of your best makeup posts, but not have to see any of their cat posts. You can also repin others can see it, and like others posts as well. You can pin things from the web, or your camera roll. Pinterest is one of the best social networking apps.

Do you love play and create music? Put multiple tracks together and create harmony parts? Then you need the free app Garage Band. You can record your voice, a built in piano of guitar, put the tracks together and then adding pre-recorded tracks to polish your music! Save dozens of songs, with lots of tracks, and at anywhere from one measure to 320 measures. You can eventually purchase even more instruments later. Garage band is essential for music lovers everywhere!

The last app is a favorite by all gamers. Yes, you guessed it- Minecraft PE. This sandbox game has hundreds of unique blocks, dangerous mobs, mining, building, and infinite possibilities! First, create a new world, survival or creative, and then it will spawn a randomly generated world for you to build, mine and thrive in. You can even play multiplayer so you can slay zombies, skeletons and creepers with your friends. Though this app is on the pricey side, it is worth every penny.

Despair, Distress, and Darkness

 

There is nothing more to be said or to be done tonight, so hand me over my violin and let us try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather and the still more miserable ways of our fellowmen.

Think of the deepest, darkest place you could imagine. Good- now- make it dismal… pitiful… and… poignant. Now, think of the saddest memories you have- dying, failure… imperfection…. Now- Throw them all in a cauldron- one not even the worst witches would dare to think about- and mix them with heartbreak, hopelessness- and everlasting darkness. Now you are ready to enter his lair.

In a dark room- on a bed of stone. The sound of a violin song. Not even a cockroach would dare to inhabit the darkness of the small, cramped room. There is a man playing a violin. On the stone cot, A shadow in the pitch cloister. His name is the Phantom. His disheartening music could explain for his treacherous life. Despair, distress, and darkness. Day after night of playing the violin, on the cold and unforgiving floors.

The ceiling seems to get closer every day- as he might have said long ago, in the 20 million years or so… but he has learned to contain his thoughts, long ago. on the abysmal castle-like walls, a single torn painting linger a painting of emptiness- and pitch black strokes. The rest of the walls are empty- just like the phantom.

A Thanks to my Parents

My parents are the best people in my life, and I owe my thanks to them.
They are the ones who motivate me, who help me with school, the ones who pay for my school lunches everyday. My mom, and my dad pay a lot of money every month, so I can do things I love. So I can have a home to come to every night. So I can have bed to curl into. They ares the ones who cherish me. They comfort me. And love me. I would like to thank my parents. For lending me their heart. I will always love you just as you do to me. Thank you.

The Perfect Christmas

The Christmas tree is decorated with garland and lights. The smell of Christmas snicker doodles fills the air. Presents all wrapped up under the tree, waiting to be opened. The moist snow outside, and the warm blankets bundling me up inside. Family gathered ’round as we sing carols, and pass around cinnamon Christmas Cocoa. Laughter and joy fills the house. The perfect Christmas.

Cheeseburgers

They tasty, gooey beef topped with melting cheese, and a moist steaming hot bun on top. Toppings such as tomatoes, lettuce, onion, ketchup, and “secret sauce”.

Cheeseburgers are one of my favorite foods. You can fir the toppings to your liking. No two cheeseburgers are alike; every one is made with tender, loving care.

First off: you need bread. Not just any bread, but heart warming, spine tingling, moist and chewy, hamburger bun. From the farm, to the bakery, to the outer layer of a perfect burger.

Now to the HEART of the burger. The best part; the delicious, Moist, Scrumptious and tasteful beef. From the cow, to your stomach; you can NOT have a cheeseburger without the meat.
On to the icing of the cake. Well, the cheese on the burger. The cheese comes from the cow; each process with love, makes it one step closer to resting on the beef patty, inside the wrapper with will soon be opened and consumed by a happy costumer.

The toppings, like the gold finish on a silver platter. Tomato, onion, bell pepper, lettuce, olives, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise; you name it. All these marvelous foods come together to create the perfect burger.
