EVERYTHING IS A REMIX

these will not... i repeat will not be organized notes. i am switching back and forth in between the notes and video


Remix: To combine or edit existing material to produce something new.
"REMIX mostly applied to music"
Remix: the arrangement and transformation of samples.
best metaphor for creativity- the light bulb... you start off with nothing but there boom a switch.. lies there is always a mess there isnt a switch it doesnt automatically happen
HOW DO WE CREATE?
there are 3 elements
 Domain Knowledge ... do what everyone else does speak the same way and maybe later add your own twist to it
1. Copying... mimic what others are doing  after you can copy what others are doing then you move to the next thing
2. Transformation... taking any existing thing and making variations..(bigger better faster)
THOMAS EDISON DID NOT INVENT THE LIGHT BULB!!!!! WTF!!!
3. Combinations... for example printing press.. the ink paper etc were already invented.. someone just combined it all

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

Wow music as literature..... that is mind blowing. I have never seen it in such way. A song/ rap is the same thing as poetry or telling a story they are exactly the same only shown in different ways. All of the listed things to find the difference to, i could not find one. A symphony tells as story usually. there is this one play were each character had its own instrument noise. It told the story quite well. My point is that a symphony a rap a song a poem..etc dont have many differences in my opinion.

HELLO 2017!

I finally came to realize that i need to get my shit together this 2017. I got new motivation this semester. i have a really good feeling about it. i feel that drive to succeed, its something i haven't felt in a while. I am a lot more into school work and talking about the future. It's going to be a tough semester i can assure that, but here i am.

SOMETHING INTERESTING

this question has killed me for the past 6 million years... i just dont know the answer. im sure that there is a scientific explanation, but where is the fun in that? hehe anyways i just dont know its pretty mind bobbling.
 thats not interesting? well then i have no idea what "interesting" is!! im just a 16 year old trying to get through high school... ill do my best.

DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MOST FAMOUS YOUTUBER IS?

If you guessed pewdiepie you are correct. pewdiepie has over 49 million subscribers. He is honestly the funniest person on the planet when it comes to being an idiot.


yeah i dont know what to talk about so ill see if i come back to this post

"Immigrants in our own Land"

honestly i really enjoyed this poem. I usually only like poems that have a patter to them or that rhyme. but this poem got my attention. The poem tells a story. This is what i got from the poem. People are going into another land to have better life and seek for better instead of worse. When they get here they are told that they are going to be put to work. they are dont get the chances that they said they would. the other thing that got my attention was when they said that many dont make it out the same. i was like whaaaaaaaa. I was confused if weather or not they went to like a work camp. all in all this poem was really good and i cant wait to see what my classmates have to say about it.

Speech!

* crowd chanting " speech speech speech speech"*

Alright! alright! y'all say you came for a speech but we all know you are here for the free food! You're getting a speech anyways..... So listen up.. I have something to say so please take a seat we can do a toast at the end. I just want to talk about a sensitive topic that all of us need to understand! All of you here today can make a difference in the world, i know that you hear this every day but its true. the way learned to see it is by reading "The sound of Thunder" In the story one man by killing a butterfly from the past changed who became president in the present. This all just comes to show the big impact that you all make in this world. For example you! *points at random person in crowd* if you would not have come to this party you would have stayed at home. You would have ordered a pizza. the person making the pizza was on a 16 hour shift therefore not realizing what they were doing anymore. therefore putting rat poison inside your pizza. You see i saved your life and the mans job. Every little thing changes a lot. We have all spent time in this room canceling out all the other variables as if we were outside. we all make a huge difference to the world. I also read in an Essay, great essay by the way. The essay was by a man named emerson, it was  about self reliance. The reason of why im speaking about this is that in the essay they talk about being yourself. Doesn't that affect what you do, therefore affecting the future? crazy things am i right? i have personally been through this. i was playing basketball and a lot of people came in the gym and started shooting.. so i was going to leave because i knew that i was no good compared to them, but as i was leaving someone said "wanna play" at that moment it could have gone 2 ways. i could have said yes or i could have said no. If i would have said no i would have never made such close friends therefore being a boring lonely person. kind of like i am today but that's not the point! the point is that everything you do now can change not just yours, but everyones future..... Now lets toast for how important we are to this world! Cheers!!

MY MAD DREAM OF AN ESSAY

Remember that time you ate that spicy tomato just before you went to bed on the night before the big silence convention?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the horrible details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at an office  waiting to be sent to high school.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Recog Nition, looking like a crazy squirrel who could eat a whole 5 dollar special from Popeyes.   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you,  "Society is a wave. The wave moves onward but the water of which it is composed does not"   You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to try.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy clown suit and afro wig and then you had make a balloon animal to go back in time to the white house  so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the [political issue you care about most].

But right there in the White House there was a giant Turtle and it started  yelling at everyone.  People started to cry.  You grabbed a megaphone from a nearby megaphone shop and yelled "If people cant see air, does that mean fish cant see water?" Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.





Ahhhhhhhhhh what is this garbage that i just wrote! haha
