I'm kind of having a good day.

Besides all of the random happenings today has been overall a very good day. Got some work done for my dad which will help pay my rent this month. I ate at Red Lobster and it was delicious. We went bowling and after losing to my sister the first game came back and beat her in the second game and overall. Not to mention I finally had a homework assignment that I knew what I was doing. It might actually be really good.

1 of the 2 classes I'm taking this month is Intro to Media Arts and it's kind of an overview of every thing in the entertainment industry, how it started and what it does today. It also introduces us to some of the programs that are included in the Mac. This weeks assignment was a movie that we had to edit down to a trailer and add music and sound effects. 

The previous 2 projects we had have not been as easy for me. The first was a website and I think it took me a good 12 hours of work to complete. The next was a music editing assignment which took a good 2 hours. 

I have made mini movies with software similar to this before so this was right down my alley. I think it took me all of 45 minutes to get this done and a majority of the time I was just goofing around with transitions and seeing what different music did with the images.

Little things like these help me feel like I made the right choice in going to Full Sail. Now I'm going to be brave and attach the video here and see what you guys think. If it sucks let me know. If it's good let me know. Any feedback on it would be amazing because I have until Sunday to submit it and I can improve upon it until then.

A Day of Randomness

If you are not familar to Northwest Arkansas let me explain something before I tell my random story for the day. There is a small town on the west side of the area near Siloam Springs and the Oklahoma boarder named Gentry. This is the place where my dad works at the AEP power plant. It is also home to a wilderness drive through park. Now I have been to the park but it has been years. 

On my over to help my dad at work this afternoon I saw the most random thing in the side yard of one of the house near the plant. 4 zebras. Like actual zebras. This is not something you see every day driving around. Of course curiosity struck me so I tried to turn around and take a picture of them but I think they might be camera shy because every time I pulled up on the street to snap the picture they had moved further away and behind trees. 

This all comes after playing chicken with a skunk on my way home from work last night. I am very sad to say that the skunk won and I was the one who moved out of the way. I don't like killing innocent creatures even if they kind of creep me out.

On my way home from Gentry I came up behind a seemingly normal truck but as we were slowing down to stop at a red light something caught my eye. There where the hitch sticks out is what looks like a fish with red eyes wiggling back and forth every time this guy presses the break. I have never seen that before. It was a little weird and a lot funny. My first thought was only in Arkansas would you see something like that.

The day isn't over yet and yet so much randomness has occured. I can't wait to see what will happen tonight.
