Well....just finished watching art and copy. It was really interesting, actually. (contrary to the last film watched :) ) Obviously a film about advertising. It was interesting to hear from so many different influential artists of our time. I think it is interesting how these people really are influential but yet are unknown. I knew nothing about them till this video, but they impacted the way we do things and the way we see things. It is interesting to hear the stories behind such familiar advertising, such as got milk and i love NY. You don’t necessarily think of the creator when you see these, it just is a well known thing. I enjoyed hearing where these people came from, what drove them and how far they came. They all seemed to desire to make their advertising revolutionary. This made me think about those things in a different way. I feel this documentary was laid out really well and it was easy to follow.
Anyways that’s it for now! Thanks for a great semester! See ya around! :)

Swan in the Water: Justin Nozuka
My father tried to save me, he said believe
In the spirit of God, leave me alone
My mother tried to heal me, she said just feel me
Just feel me then leave me alone
My brother tried to scold me, he tried to hold me
To mold me then leave me alone
My sister tried to listen, but she couldn't understand
It's not how I stand but where I stand
And you talk and you talk and you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walk
And then you walk, oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire, I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water, you're moving so elegantly
And it burns and it burns and it burns
And it burns and it burns
I know World War III tried to convince me, you were shouting
On the radio and TV screen, leave me alone
My angels tried to mess me, constantly test me
And test me and now leave me alone
The devil tried to bless me, confessing the death
And then leave me alone
My sister tried to listen, but she couldn't understand
It's not how I stand, but where I stand
And you talk and you talk and you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walk
And then you walk, oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire, I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water, you're moving so elegantly
And it burns and it burns and it burns
This world is trying to break me
It's trying to break me
This world is trying to break me
It's trying to break me
The world is trying to break me
It's trying to break me
The world is trying to break me
Trying to break me
This world is trying to break me
It's trying to break me
This world is trying to break me
Ooh, it's trying to break me
Ooh, it's trying to break me

But you make it full, Steal my breathe

Oh i'm dreamin bout romance , slow dancin with you

And I'll say hey

soo i watched the order
WHAT IS GOING ON? So the order was pretty weird. I’m not sure if it was suppose to have sound, but it didn’t on my computer. I watched a lot of this before in other art classes, and I'm still confused of the purpose of the video. It seemed to have some sort of fascination with women and different colors. It also has some sort of seeking conflict where the pink thing is after the lady with the glass legs and when they meet she they morph into some cheetah thing that she the pink thing continues to seek after. It must have some purpose because it seems very planned out and having different levels to it......but its just really weird.

Someone Like You: Adele
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,

Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.

Chances Are: Garrett Hedlund
Miss my grandpa's old Gibson, and a girl of no importance,
A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar.
Yeah, I used to give a damn; I used to try real hard.
But I'll give in tonight, chances are.
Chorus
One foot on the narrow way, and one foot on the ledge.
Sifting through the devil's lies, and what the good Book says.
If I'm going anywhere, I'll probably go too far.
And probably away from you, chances are.
Chances are.
Well, there's a lonely corner waiting; deuces left for playing.
And I'll tell her everything she wants to hear.
Well I'm not worth the love that's making, I'm better at the breaking.
A guy like me knows how to disappear.
Chorus
One foot on the narrow way, and one foot on the ledge.
Sifting through the devil's lies, and what the good Book says.
If I'm going anywhere, I'll probably go too far.
And probably away from you, chances are.
Chances are.
Hold you like I mean it. Say it 'til you believe it.
And we'll see if we can fill an empty heart.
But I won't tell you what the chances are.
Chorus
One foot on the narrow way, and one foot on the ledge.
Sifting through the devil's lies, and what the good Book says.
If I'm going anywhere, I'll probably go too far.
And probably away from you, chances are.
Chances are.

Timing is Everything: Garrett Hedlund
when the stars line up
and you catch a good break
and people think your lucky
but you know it’s grace
it can happen so fast
or a little bit late
timing is everything
you know i’ve had close calls
when it could have been me
i was young when i learned just
how fragile life could be
i lost friends of mine
i guess it wasn’t my time
time is everything
and i could have been a child that got took home
and i would have been one more unfinished song
and when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
that’s when one comes along
just in time
when i remember that day
when our eyes first meet
you ran into the building to get out of the rain
cuz’ you were soaking wet
and as i held the door
you wanted to know my name
timing is everything
and i could have been another minute late
and you never would have crossed my path that day
and when it seems true love is hard to find
that’s when love comes along
just in time
well you can call it fate
or destiny
sometimes it really
seems like
it’s a mystery
cause you can be hurt by love
or healed by the same
timing is everything
and it can happen so fast
or a little bit late
timing is everything

Jessie J- Who You Are
I stare at my reflection in the mirror...
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf ...
"no,no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are
(Who you are)x11
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mould , yeah!
The more I try the less it's working yeah yeah yeah
Cause everything inside me screams, "no,no,no,no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!
Yes, no, egos
Fake shows like woah
Just go, and leave me alone
Real talk real life
Good love goodnight
With a smile that's my home
That's my home
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,

Love is Hard: James Morrison
I see lovers in the streets
Walking without a care
They wear it out loud
Like theres something in the air
Oh well, I dont care
Theyre treading lightly
No, they dont sink in
Theres no tracks to follow
They dont care where theyre going
And if theyre lucky, yeah
Theyll, theyll get to see
And if theyre really, really lucky
Theyll get to feel
And it kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep, it hits your soul
Tears your skin, and makes your blood flow
It?s better that you know that love is hard
Love takes hostages
And gives them pain
Gives someone the power
To hurt you again and again
Oh, but they don?t care
Oh, and if theyre lucky, yeah
Theyll, theyll get to see
And if theyre really, really lucky
Theyll, theyll get to feel
And if theyre, theyre truly blessed
Then theyll get to believe
And if youre damned
Youll never let yourself be deceived
And it kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep, it hits your soul
Tears your skin, and makes your blood flow
It?s better that we know that love is hard
It kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep, it hits your soul
Tears your skin, and makes your blood flow
It?s better that we know
It kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
It cuts so deep, it hits your soul
Tears your skin, and makes your blood flow
It?s better that we know that love is hard
Love is hard, love is hard
If it was easy it wouldn?t mean nothing, no

details in the fabric: jason mraz
Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling on your threads
And breaking yourself up
If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm, then brace it
If it's a broken heart, then face it
And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine
Hang on
Help is on the way
And stay strong
I'm doing everything
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything, everything will be fine
Everything
Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?
Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.
Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything
Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way
Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)
Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?
Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing
Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

settlin: sugarland
Fifteen minutes left to throw me together
For Mr. Right Now, not Mr. Forever
Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends
Lookin' like another, "Maybe we can be friends."
I've been leaving it up to fate
It's my life so it's mine to make
Chorus:
I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high
"Just enough," ain't enough this time
I ain't settlin' for anything less than everything
With some good red wine
And my brand new shoes
Gonna dance a blue streak around my living room
Take a chance on love, and try how it feels
With my heart wide open
Yeah, you know I will
Find what it means to be the girl
Who changed her mind
And changed the world
Repeat chorus
I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high
"Just enough," ain't enough this time
I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high
I ain't settlin'
No, no, no, no, no, no
So raise the bar high, high

Identity
What is identity?
Identity is simply who we are, the satisfaction of understanding the point of our existence. Understanding identity means passing the fear of becoming nothing. It is distinction. That desire for someone to notice something different in you. Identity is the understanding of self, impressing ones mark through a situation on anothers life. Identity is the difference between ones self and anothers.
Identity is the demonstration of a person not being a replica. But as the article stated true identity is not satisfying. If you are completely a different individual you are lacking the similarity and connections with others.
Isn’t our identity mixing with others?
Can we identify with something while someone else feels that is there same identity as well?
Is identity determined by religion? Location? Successes? Or is it whichever is most important in our mind identifies us?
Who determines identity who decides if you have fully reached yours? Is it you? Is it God? Is it others?
Is identity established by knowing truth?
Is identity a continuous process or is it a destination that is possible to reach during our lifetime?
Identity is discovering who you are and creating your world and opportunities based upon that. There is fear that one might end his day in a world one never made but rather inherited. Identity is discovering who you personally are. I think it is a continuos journey, mainly surrounded around finding the truths in this world. I know my identity is the truth I believe as a Christian but that is the bulk of it. Tastes and interests play a role in it as well. In the end identity is a combination of many things but I think largely pointing towards this journey of truth.
Interesting quotes to think about:
“He is suggesting that unless one finds something common to all men at all
times, not just to one man once, one cannot die satisfied”
“the tension between an effort to achieve self-creation by the recognition of contingency and an effort to achieve universality by the transcendence of contingency”
“The drama of an individual human life, or of the history of humanity as
a whole, is not one in which a pre-existent goal is triumphantly reached or
tragically not reached.”
“once we give up, as Kant did, on the idea that scientific knowledge of hard facts is our point of contact with a power not ourselves, it is natural to do what Kant did: to
turn inward, to find that point of contact in our moral consciousness in our search for righteousness rather than our search for truth.
Identity is simply who we are, the satisfaction of understanding the point of our existence. Understanding identity means passing the fear of becoming nothing. It is distinction. That desire for someone to notice something different in you. Identity is the understanding of self, impressing ones mark through a situation on anothers life. Identity is the difference between ones self and anothers.
Identity is the demonstration of a person not being a replica. But as the article stated true identity is not satisfying. If you are completely a different individual you are lacking the similarity and connections with others.
Isn’t our identity mixing with others?
Can we identify with something while someone else feels that is there same identity as well?
Is identity determined by religion? Location? Successes? Or is it whichever is most important in our mind identifies us?
Who determines identity who decides if you have fully reached yours? Is it you? Is it God? Is it others?
Is identity established by knowing truth?

Collide: Kid Rock ft. Sheryl Crow
You're no angel, I'm no saint, if we were
We wouldn't be in this place tonight
Lost and lonely, scared and confused
We both have a past, nothing to lose, tonight
Well it cuts like a knife these bad luck blues
We both got scars from the hell we been thru
Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose
So let's roll the dice, one more time
Take a chance on love again tonight
Risk it all, lay it on the line
Let the skeletons fight for life
Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide
Reconnected, feelin' no pain
Seeking shelter like a spark in the rain, tonight (ooh yeah)
Worn and weathered, scared to go home
We're here together, but still all alone, tonight (uh uh yeah)
And there's no need to lie, we've both been abused
The love and the pain, the cocaine and booze, now
Most people don't, but some people do
So let's roll the dice, one more time
Take a chance on love again tonight
Risk it all, lay it on the line
Let the skeletons fight for life
Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide

I Love College: Asher Roth
This isn't a new song i just discovered like all the other posts, but we talked about this one in class so i had to put it up :)
I'm nice right now, man
I-I feel good
If you have a drink
Would you please put it in the air?
That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love college
I wanna go to college for the rest of my life
Sip Banker's Club and drink Miller Lite
On Thirsty Thursday and Tuesday Night Ice
And I can get pizza a dollar a slice
So fill up my cup, let's get fucked up
I'm next on the table, who want what?
I am champion at beer pong
Allen Iverson, Hakeem Olajuwon
Don't even bounce, not in my house
Better hope you make it otherwise you naked
Time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted
Woke up today and all I could say is
Um, that party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love college, ay!
And I love drinking, ay!
I love women, ay!
Man, I love college
I can't tell you what I learned from school but
I could tell you a story or two, um
Yeah, of course I learned some rules
Like don't pass out with your shoes on
(Get the Sharpie!)
And don't leave the house 'til the booze gone
(No, we're not leaving)
And don't have sex if she's too gone
When it comes to condoms put two on
(Trust me)
Then tomorrow night find a new jawn
Hold the beer bong, nothing wrong with some fun
(Here, hold this)
Even if we did get a little bit too drunk
Time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted
Woke up today and all I could say is
That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
(I wish we taped)
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked

Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love college, ay!
I love drinking, ay!
I love women, ay!
I love college
Now if everybody would please
Put their drink as high as they can
As high as they can
(As high as they can)
And repeat after me
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Freshmen! Freshmen!
Freshmen! Freshmen!
Do something' crazy! Do somethin' crazy!
Do something' crazy! Do somethin' crazy!
Keg stand! Keg stand!
Keg stand! Keg stand!
(That party last night)
Man, I love college
I love it!
(That party last night)
Alright everybody, I gotta head back to class for a little bit
That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
(I wish we taped)
(You know it's going down)
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
(You're all invited, bring your friends)
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love college
Do I really have to graduate?
Or can I just stay here for the rest of my life?
