One person's craziness is another person's reality

These are the words of one of the most visionary film makers in history. He is renowned for his dark, quirky and bizarre movies and is married to Helena Bonham Carter. IT'S TIM BURTON EVERYBODY (that sounded like an introduction to a talk show...). Anyways, I am watching Alice In Wonderland right now (Tim Burton's 2010 adaptation), well not right now, but I'm waiting for it to load. It's so different from the book! So, so sosososossososo different. But at the same time, it's very similar. Now I'm just sounding like a bipolar Alice. It hit me today how freaking brilliant Tim Burton is. I can't even put into words the respect I have for this man. Ugh. He is just a cinematic mastermind. Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, UGHHH! I can't express my newly found love for this man. I don't think Tim and Helena's children will ever understand how brilliant their parents are.

THIS IS JUST TOO GOOD FOR WORDS OH MY GOD. 

BANANA

Apparently, this term is 'old'. I didn't even know about it until this morning! Let me explain to you what it means, although the majority of you would probably already know what it means because I am so out of date with everything nowadays! Basically, if you are a banana, it means that you are an Asian, but on the inside; your behaviours, thoughts and preferences are 'white' - just like a banana (go figure -.-). I believe that I am somewhat of a banana. I've lived in a completely white-washed community for most of my life. I don't eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner (I'm not being stereotypical; you have no idea how many Asians actually do that!). I actually have tried cuisines other than Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese (ahem, Asian friends of mine that have never had tacos?!). I don't even know where I am going with this post. I think it's really funny how people use food to describe people and their race. 

Another example is the Oreo - black on the outside, white on the inside. Yeah, you get my drift. 

Tell me would you kill, to save a life?

This is one of the best live performances from 30 Seconds To Mars. Jared Leto's ability to hit those high notes in the bridge is mind-blasting. It sends chills up my spine. Hooray to people in the music industry that can actually sing without the aid of auto-tune. *ahem Rebecca Black*

not judging a book by its cover

I don't think I truly understood the meaning of this until a few months ago. Ever since I started volunteering at the Salvos Store I've noticed that there are actually not many volunteers. The majority of the people that "work" there are serving community service hours because they've gotten into trouble with the law. For about a year, I didn't really bother "talking" to any of them. I didn't hate them or anything, I still made small talk with them, but I never really bothered getting to know any of them. I don't know why, I just wasn't interested. But a few months ago, I started talking to this lovely lady called Sarah. She told me about her life, how she was forced to drop out of school in year 10 and get married because of her Turkish traditions, how she has two kids (the youngest being 13 months) and how guilty she feels for having to leave them at home to do community service. I can tell she doesn't enjoy community service (who does?), but she is willing to work productively, as opposed to the lazy douchebags that just linger around the back, rummaging through the dvds. She puts on a smile and is super friendly to everybody. Surprisingly, despite our age difference, we are able to relate to each other. I really enjoy her company on Saturdays. I haven't asked her what it is she's done, and I don't plan to because it doesn't matter to me. She is who she is and I love her for that. Nothing she says will change that. People make mistakes, I think it's absolutely ridiculous how they have to live with 'criminal' tattooed to their forehead for the rest of their lives. Anyway kids, the moral of the day is to never judge a book by its cover. Just because somebody has a criminal record, it doesn't mean that they are a thug without feelings. Just think about how they feel before judging, eh?

Never Let Me Go

This movie is finally opening in Australian Cinemas, after opening in America in September 2010. WHY. The movie is a Dystopian drama. Which is basically the opposite of a Utopia, interesting right? The plot in a nutshell is basically; scientists have found something to extend human life by 100 years or so. They decide to trial it on these kids, which are basically imprisoned in their boarding school, kind of like a concentration camp. They learn of their fate, which is that they are living as organ donors and will die before they can reach their full potential or something of the like. Blah blah, it centrals around three teenagers; two girls, one guy. The typical cliche; girl likes boy, boy gets into relationship with the other girl. I don't know why it's so appealing to me. Just the Dystopian plot and clones interests me! Watch the movie everybody! I shall watch it in the holidays, so if anybody spoils it, DIE.

Architecture

Ever since doing this Architectural Drawing unit in graphics, I've been looking at all of these houses online and I've been very inspired! Too bad the inspiration doesn't reflect in the house I had to design for the assessment, which is no where near completed and is due, fully mounted on Tuesday. Wah. I don't mind drawing my ideas onto paper, but asking me to design it on a computer program would pretty much mean a C-level result. I absolutely cannot use a computer. Why am I wasting my precious assessment time blogging? Bye.
