What if the Matrix does have you?




Recently I just watched and finished the matrix trilogy for the 20th something time. These movies bring up very interesting points. What if there is more to the world than there seems? I'm not talking about simply talking about the possibilities that were shown in the matrix, I'm talking about anything. By anything I mean anything that you may have ever read or watched in any Science fiction or fantasy movies or books.
What would you do if you found out one or more of the following were real: zombies, vampires, werewolves, the matrix itself, elves, hobbits, dwarves, dragons, wizards, witches, warlocks, magic, government conspiracies, secret civilian societies, extraterrestrial life, intergalactic space travel (the ability to travel from star to star), super heroes, your own super powers, time travel, alternate realities, monsters, mechs, giant robots, talking animals, leprechauns, ancient ruins, star gates, star trek, star wars, battle star galactica, firefly (the show), futuristic weapons, dinotopia (yes it is what it sounds like), ect...
Lets say that after you found out that (insert generic name here) was real what would you do? Would you ignore it and continue on with your "normal" life or would you chose to learn more of it and go on the adventure of a life time knowing full well that your old life would never be the same again?
Personally I would chose to learn more about whatever I discovered and go on the adventure of a life time. What would you do?

Flagstaff... it is boring




So I transferred up to Flagstaff thinking that it would be much like my old school just with a academic program I would be more into. The 2nd part of my prediction was correct, The Electronic Media and Film major is much more entertaining than any of the programs I had been in at U of A. However, I have found the city of Flagstaff to be much more boring than I could have imagined. I mean everything closes at 9, and even if things didn’t close at 9 there would still be nothing to do. The only kind of businesses Flagstaff seems to have are food places in which to eat. I wish Flagstaff had more than just food places. I have not been able to find any places (other than Harkins Theater) to hang out at. Ah, but that brings about another good point. There is no point for me to hang out at Harkins Theater (mainly the arcade) when I have no one to hang out with. I only know a couple of people (total of 2) at NAU, and I rarely see them. I guess I also know a few Joe Smo's here and there, but do those people really count? Though I like the academic programs here at NAU I can't help but feel lonely here.
It feels really weird being here. I mean when I left U of A, I was fairly popular. I knew at least 20 people on a first AND last name biases. I could honestly say that I was really good friends with at least 10 of those people. And that’s not counting at least 50 Joe Smo people that I also would find hanging around the Underground. For those of you that don't know, the Underground at U of A is the central meeting point for several groups of gamers, nerds, geeks, ect...
Anyways, I guess I'm done ranting. lol, I guess I was so bored that I wrote this. I usually don't write notes unless I am really bored. Back to homework...


I really enjoy watching anime. It is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. For all of you who don't know what anime is, I will explain.
Anime is artwork that is drawn by artists in Japan. The artwork is animated and released on Japanese TV. Much of the Japanese anime is translated in english and other languages and sold in other countries. Despite what many people be live, anime IS NOT cartoons. Anime is almost the same as any regular show on TV. The only differences are that it is animated, and that some things in anime are exaggerated.
The reason that I love anime so much is that it is unique compaired to regular shows on TV. It can show emotions in the form of artwork that regular TV simply cannot do. Do to this, I like anime.

What is your favorite movie out of the four listed below?
