(Liked:) finishing my natural high video on time! And sort of liking it even though (Dislike:) it is kind of lame. The voiceover is tooootally cheesey at some parts. (Learned:) We're doing a stopmotion video, and I am excited about it. (Want to learn:) how to not procrastinate?
This is a website of ways someone re-used their (daughters) clothing. It's really innovative. coolllll
I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with FinalCutKing
He makes FCP tutorials on youtube, and is incredible. Definitely my favorite FCP/motion tutorial guy.
He just subscribed to my music channel on youtube... So weird, yet awesome. I am happy :)

I don't remember if I posted this on here or not a while back,
but I know it's on my tumblr:
Washington, DC, Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes, a middle aged man noticed there was a musican playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried to meet his schedule…
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and without stopping continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year-old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the Metro Station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities. The questions raised: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…How many other things are we missing?
What have you noticed anything lately?
Did you stop and enjoy it?

Happy: Well, I suppose the snow day made me happy. Even though it was kind of pointless, and I didn't even get to do anything during it.
Un-happy: I picked up alot of hours from work. I'm on a six day work streak that may continue to be longer depending on whether I'm scheduled for monday and beyond of next week.
Learned: I learned that I'm not allowed to volunteer at the SPCA until I'm 18, which totally sucks. Luckily I only have a month and 14 days left.
Want to learn: The ability to throw together quick vegetarian foods. Seeing as I'm almost never home to cook or make myself anything.

WATCH THIS, no seriously
This video is by far one of the best, ever. It is in my top two. Partially due to the subject matter and partially because it's just awesome.
