Cabana

the ocean rolled across the sparkling sand at a smooth pace. rising and falling as if it breathed and pulling the sand into intricate swirls like a child with a gallon tub of glitter he dumped over the kitchen floor. off in the distance strange shapes sail across the horizon line. whether animal or ship or a some strange mixture of the two its hard to say, but they seem to add a sense of foreboding across the green waves that stretch out into the distance. there's a small structure nearby, seemingly made from local vegetation, it faces the sea. upon closer investigation it's obvious that the structure is abandoned, and has been for some time. there are oddly circular holes in the roof of the structure, as if it had been hit by flaming bowling balls. its a sizable cabana, about the size of a three bedroom one story home. but you didn't have time to investigate, and so continued down the beach, taking in the landscape.

beetlejuice

aww what the hell, first thing that popped into my head so might as well. its a cartoon/movie that i've been studying, well better described as pondering. i love the kind of humor associated with this series, and the animation for the cartoon is top notch, which is kinda what i've been studying. im interested in animation, might even try studying it in collage, so i've been watching the cartoons carefully, trying to pick up the subtleties of expressions and movement that this show has in droves, often pausing the show to observe individual panels and see the "in betweens" of a movement, how they do the lighting, where they place the characters in the shot, what parts move or stay because sometimes it might only be an arm or mouth that moves or the eyes might blink, but the movement still seems fluid and natural. its really something to actually take a careful look at these old cartoons, but dont try it with most of the newer ones. most new cartoons are now animated digitally, making the characters much more static, i think that it might be because they can re-use old artwork much more easily when done digitally, keep things more carefully measured so theres not as much changes between the panels, as well as blend them together, and you lose alot of the movement blur that would have been there otherwise because of how sharp the images are. plus more modern cartoons just aren't as crazy as the older ones, especially beetlejuice. in the cartoon, he's a ghost, so he's also very good at shape shifting, which he does almost all the time, and leads to some pretty visually stunning moments.

annoying

man, too many things to count and it all sounds depressing. im just sick of all this, never goes anywhere, never go anywhere, never do anything, never talk about anything. im being bored to death and im sick of it. i mean even in psych class. we took a test to see our "arousal levels" or what it takes for you to be scared or happy, and i scored 12 out of 13. thats like a hard core thrill seeker, course i already knew that, but it helps to explain my issue. personally i think this is one of the reasons why im so annoyed at everyone all the time, they're just so boring and i dont really have anything worth saying, or at lest that people want to listen to. the bad part is that i say so little that even when i do speak im often ignored or misunderstood, because surprise surprise, 4 years of being bored to death at school has all but obliterated my social skills, not to mention a great deal of my physical ones as well. it dosent help that im also pretty much useless at everything else, so even if i wanted to do something, anything, i have to jump through hoops like nobodies business. i wanna go ice skating? well thats about 2 weeks of trying that only ends up with me getting sick of not being able to go and giving up. i think my memory has actually been altered to compensate for this. a few days and i dont even remember that something bad happened, and if it did, who cares. its like a nightmare that might have seen scary when you first wake up, but a while later its just as ridiculous as my normal dreams, which are pretty weird, and im almost ashamed to have been scared in the first place.

1st blog-whatever i want to write about.

for no particular reason, recently ive been thinking about the next Beetlejuice movie that they're supposedly making, though it probably wont come out for a few years. still its fun to think about the movie, how it could have gone differently, and what sort of antics he would get up to.

for those of you who dont know, Beetlejuice is an awesome movie made by tim burton about a couple who die and come back as ghosts and haunt their house, only to have a snobbish new family move in. they hire the poltergeist Beetlejuice to kick out the family after numerous failed attempts on the couples part to scare them off and everything goes nuts. its awesome.

not really much else to say, its pretty much just what im currently daydreaming.
