Shifting gears

Dec 05, 2004 04:44

Pretty soon it will be an entire year since I started this thing so I am doing the most practical thing I can think to do wth an online journal. I'm abandoning it for something new. I followed Donna to a new site, which is pretty much identical to this excpet for a few extra things here and there. I still have to tweak it but as of January 1st 2005 ( Read more... )

Not back yet. I believe we are pulling in on the 8th. No real solid word though. Besides I'm not going to stop posting. I'm just going to post elsewhere.

Why did you decide to do that? I want to start a community for something there but I'm too selfish! About the camcorder, I asked Patrick (before I went around) and he thinks or says a piece of equipment you listed will be difficult to find at a lower price than you would find on ebay or an electronics sale. No different than the Nikon d70, in price searching comparison (?) yeap you can't find decently priced electronics in asia? Making a movie is a lot of work. Do you have adquent hardrive space and software? Have you taken a film and or theatre class?

I choose not to read anymore it isolates me further from other humans. Even if you discuss something among two humans they have both read there is still a distance. Thatis one prespective on the matter. Another is I have taken ENC Comp II four times and never completed the course!

love ya Colby. Hope you are doing well and I added your gj to my flist.

I just want something besides Livejournal. I went to Amazon and they said I could get a used one for less than a thousand but then they sold it the next night. I don't want to make a movie right now, but I would like to at some point. I haven't even written my (first) book yet. And about whether I have taken film and or theater classes I scoffingly refer you to the old quote: "The educated are not necessarily intelligent."

Reading may isolate you from humans but is that an especailly bad thing? After have been trapped on a boat for months with the same people I don't think it is. If I had taken Comp II at OW four times I don't think I would have passed it yet either. Not with Dory in that dept. I finished the class through the University of Maryland quite easily.

Have you sank shipgal@yahoo.com?

Nope Shipgal is where my livejournal comment update thingys go to. The uneducated are not necessarily intelligent either. and education is measurable where intelligence isn't, despite their efforts. I like isolation when I choose but not if it is spoon feed, in a way. On the other side relating to people can be just as bad, for me. I have this silly little imagination where I believe if someone has visited the same 'magical imagination land/world' I have then we can relate, not entirely though because it is all different, my imagination, their imagination, and the author's imagination. No one ever really understands anything they just imagine themselves in 'understand land' which doesn't exist because it is in their head. I can appreciate those that read some what. but all media forms are being overwhelmed. The human form of 'expression' is going to implode.

Thank you for saying what you said to me about being a enc II noob, made me feel a little better.

No the uneducated are not itelligent most of the time I would say, but that still does not disprove whoever said that originally. Is reading the isolation equivilant to spoon reading? I would say reading is equivilant to fast food in that respect. Spoon feeding would be something like prison. You have to go out and get books (in the regard I mean) much in the same way you do a Whopper ( ... )
