3 Images form Chel White's video that moved me

Cher White's video was simply put, fun. The short dark comedy of the video produced a lot of images that lasted in my mind.

1. The scrambling eyes
The scrambling eyes stuck with me for some odd reason. I can't really put much of a reason behind it. I would say it represents observation when you are trying to come up with something good to write.

2. The hands doing jumping-jacks
Writing can be such a strenuous exercise sometimes. This really stuck out to me because I can find truth in the fact that sometimes my hand literally hurts and other times I need to take a break from the exercise of thinking.

3. The thoughts in a hole
The image of the thoughts going into a hole in the ground is something I can really relate to. Sometimes I try to write a screenplay and decide that this needs to be discarded and I dig up a mental hole and suppress them forever. The image of purposefully suppressing thoughts that are not useful or that you consider flops is just very real to me.

My sentence with no GPS

A sentence starts out like a person driving a car not fully decided on where he/she wants to go. He has no GPS and has decided to go ahead and jump behind the wheel. The driver has may get lost and may end up turning around, but hopefully the driver will continue to drive until he reaches a desirable destination. Whether the driver is on his way to a his final destination or if he is heading back to a previous point of interest he will see some new attractions on the way.

Is this equation correct? Text > Sound

Because I really can't remember when text messaging became so key I do not find it so odd that text is more prevalent than sound in relation to the phone. I feel that sound is more powerful than the text message and creates a more personal relationship than the use of text messaging. Today's form of communication have become less personal. With the all the technology at hand that make everything easy, why not communicate without actually having to pick up the phone? It is only to be expected that as we go forward into the future, watching Facebook take over the world, we will become a less interactive people.

On a more personal front I guess I like texting more because it gives me the ability to ignore or put people on hold without any interaction. It also gives me the ability to be more clever than I actually am. At least 55% of the witty things I say in response to people probably wouldn't have been vocalized. Text messaging is a way of becoming a more suave person without the hassle of actually being suave. It isn't lying though, it is just more the preference for a lot of people.

An argument can be made saying that texting creates a more shared experience between people. Texting can allow people to share little things when they can not make a phone call. Things your professor just said or if you want to keep things down while communicating a message, you should go towards a text. It's no surprise that texting has become the more prevalent use of the phone, we are making it personal to be impersonal.
