From Christmas Town to Easter Town, painted onto the trunks of trees, Jack comes across one of the most mysterious places in the forest. A circle of holiday trees with small doors leading to their towns. After stumbling down into the glistening, snow filled, place of Christmas Town, Jack, the Pumpkin King, introduces his community to ever confusing world of Christmas. From bats to garland, Jack struggles to find happiness in a place where evil and fright rule. Santa Clause a.k.a. Sandy Claws, is taken prisoner and forced to spend time with the Boogy Man. And so goes the story of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the most ingenious animated films, and I would kill to see the "mind map" of anyone who took part in creating the world that those characters live in. Where does someone create a character? I know you envision things in your mind, like when you read a book. You play it out subconsciously while reading, but how does your brain piece together things like a movie? I guess, if you sat down and took the time to just play it out, you can see it all come together. I want to know how our brain decides what things will look like, and why the fence on the house from that story is black and not white? Do other people picture the same things while reading the same book?
If I had the chance to jump into someones brain/ visionary world, it would have to be the creators of Nightmare Before Christmas. It is an old movie, not as popular today, but it has always been a movie that I was fascinated with, even at a young age. At twenty some years old, I still wonder who had the vision and where did it all come from??

"Save the Drama fo yo Mama"
Do you ever wonder how much the world revolves around everyone else and their problems?
E entertainment's whole job is to report the news on what everyone else is doing, wearing, and dating. The real world- we thrive off of drama, stories, and juicy gossip.
So, how is it being on the other side? It's all great fun when you get to tell the story about the fat hairy boyfriend who hates the roommate of the girl who is hooking up with the guy that he has idolized for the past year and lives with. Yea, stories can get a little tangled up after you pass them along to a few people, but what sucks is when the story is all about you!
Let me tell you being on "the other side". It might be pretty crappy, but the twists and turns to your own life are altered in such ways by other people that getting mad would simply be a waste of time. You have to take it all in with a grain of pepper or however that quote goes, and look at it as entertainment. Just like E!, we entertain each other with ridiculous amounts of ridiculous and outlandish stories. . . so when I heard all the crazy things I had done this past weekend, I just about peed my pants wondering, "Either I have an evil twin, or I had an out of body experience, where God only knows what happened"
I can't say I don't love hearing all the good stories about X hooking up with Y's ex boyfriend's dogwalker, who works at the bike shop, but really has a crush on Michelle. . . BUT lessoned learned, next time you want to encourage the gossip, make sure that person know's you (the person being gossiped about) are around the corner listening to everything they say about you, so they can stop and look like they got slapped in the face with a pan, while you stroll around and give them a big smile.

People Watching
We creep and we stare, like we just don't care.
I think we need to rename it though. . . something along the lines of "people criticizing" is better. Maybe it's just me, but honestly, who sits there and just watches, When a man walking his dog, walks past the window, something is bound to run through your mind. Anything along the lines of - WOAH??, ugly shorts dude!
Maybe I am being too harsh. We don't ALWAYS say something rude or condescending.
I'm actually people watching right now, in the meadows atrium. . . some weird people let me tell you. I'm not one to judge, but these people run around singing and dancing like a wild bunch of aliens.
The girl who just walked by me with some kooky Willy Wanka glasses, she just looked cool, BUT I didn't even think twice to say to myself, "umm hello, Halloween is on Sunday?"
Some might call it rude, some might think it is nosy, but we all people creep,criticize, judge, maybe even admire.
I have to admit, it is pretty entertaining.

Tip of The Day
No one can decide what mood you are going to be in, except for you.
People can upset you and make you smile, but in the end, no one makes that decision but you.
The next time you are mad because you are having a bad day, or just do not feel up to it, remember you can choose to turn around and say, "HEY self, I will be happy, and I WILL have a nice day."
Exception: If you trip into the street, and get splashed by a car, and almost lose your backpack, and forget you had a paper due, well you are SOL, I guess you had a bad day. :)

Remember when I said "I Can't Lie"
Well, sorry, I did.
I actually also forgot how to count obviously because this is my 19th post, and have yet to reach my 20th, as stated earlier. Wishful thinking I guess. . .
Moving on, When someone says you can't lie, that is a lie, because we do it all the time.
Except for Abraham Lincoln , he never did.
The last time I lied: (besides 15 minutes ago)
HMMM. . . It can't be that hard to think of it, not that I do it all the time or anything, but when you lie, you convince yourself it is the truth, then you end up forgetting you lied. . .
BUT, the other day, I told my Mom in a faint whisper, how I was in study hours and had to call her later, but really I was just whispering, so that the people in the other dressing room at Nordstroms, couldn't hear my lying. Pathetic, I know, at least I felt bad.

Dear Reader,
I have officialy made it to the famous 20th POST!!!!!
Not that I do not enjoy sharing my thoughts with you, it is just a bid deal, and yes it is 10:06 am, 54 minutes before class, and a midterm, but honesty is always better, right?
Maybe I put off my assignments, maybe I need some pressure, maybe I like the idea of this spurring up some ideas.
UNDER PRESSURE- Yea, that's the way I work best. I see myself sitting somewhere in Colorado, at some super cool and popular agency, where I am slaving (while at the same time enjoying myself) away on a project. I don't know what I want to do with regards to advertising, but under pressure I have realized that no matter what, things always get done. What I am trying to say is, can I go on forever doing this?
Is this OK in the "real world", the so
Will _____________ (super cool popular agency with really fun people) allow for this kind of behavior?
Let's hope, or else. . .
As I grow older, I realize, OK, so you can't get away with everything. Procrastination as society likes to refer to this as seems to be something a lot of people talk about. - "Ohhh, Blah blah it's so late, and I am still up and I should have done this yesterday. . ."
You can't look at it that way.
Field's Model for Successful Thinking
(Cause=Pressure)
UNDER PRESSURE > THOUGHTS (maybe out of urgency) > GREAT THINKING SKILLS >STIMULATES YOUR PROCESS OF COLLECTING DATA > SOMEWHERE ABOUT THIS TIME YOU HAVE BULLSHIT YOUR WAY INTO SOMETHING GREAT. . .
For now, I'll stick to this because it seems to work; without pressure I wander too much. You need that little push to keep you going
DEAR FUTURE- Please accept me and my friend named Procrastination.

Welcome to My Fridge
So MTV cribs always made it a point to look into the fridges of the celebrities being featured in the episode. I will never be on MTV cribs, well maybe, but for now, let's not plan on it.
What's in my fridge?
Milk, not mine, 2%, probably belonging to Kelsey my roommate.
Lots fo Eggs, no idea why we have so many. . . from Kroger to some Target brand
Chocolate Milk, yea this is mine.
Tortillas- again these are mine, not home-made, but Mission Brand does the trick if I'm feeling homesick
Greek Yogurt- So we are healthy? I just know I like GREEK yogurt now, no idea why, but I only buy this kind, maybe I like the box or something.
Some water bottles, some butter, more eggs (EW they are old- so not mine), "Mexican White Cheese" from Kraft- they spoke to me , I was like HELL, this must be good cheese, like special for quesadillas because it is Mexican. . yea whatever, it's probably from California or something, Pesto sauce, some old Rice Pilaff, and yea that is about it.
Does this say much about me so far?

Squirrels
They are just about the cutest thing in the world, until one attacks you.
They hide in walls or store with their babies, and jump over you around campus. They RULE this campus, and you don't even know it.
They have to have some sort of system. Where do they go at night? A small cave under the business school, where their lifetime supply of acorns are housed? If we are so advanced, there has to be some sort of way that animals, like squirrels live their lives. We just don't see it, or notice it. Like the movie BUGSLIFE!
I know it is somewhere out there, and I plan to find where these squirrels go, and what they do. Maybe lure one in with some fruit loops. . .
We were successful enough to catch one at work because it was trapped in the stockroom, God only knows how it go in there, but from that day on, I made sure to at least notice them.
Not just point out how cute they are, but really find out the truth behind the squirrels.

"GOOAAAAAAAAAALL"
Yea, everyone knows how crazy those soccer games can get. My dad can sit for hours watching the matches. When I was younger, I found it so hard to pay attention to little dots running around on a screen following a ball. I mean, I don't ever find it that great, until someone scores and then we watch the magnificent re play, over and over.
One day I realized the house was rather quiet, and walked over to the TV room, to find my
Dad, watching his soccer games MUTED??
I did not understand why or how he would do that to himself.
The least you can do it listen to the boring thing!
So I asked,"Why in God's name are you watching it on mute?"
It would be like watching golf muted, all you do it stare in the abyss of the TV, in pure silence.
The only great part of watching these games is to wait for the ever glorified "GOOOOAAALLLLL" yell that goes on for minutes.
Well, apparently, my Dad hates that part.
I was in shock, but when I found the following video, I could not help but send it to him.
Like Gieco says- It makes it interesting Dad!

The Emperor's New Groove
Haven't seen it. Well I guess you are not twelve years old, but neither am I and I still have!
People never talk up this villain. She is classic. She outdoes any evil queen, dragon, or step-mother. Her name is YZMA. She is old, evil, conniving, and fashionable.
Everyone knows about the lame over used queens, but my favorite villain, YZMA, has the power of changing emperor Cuzco into a llama. Yes, that's right, now spells with frogs in this one guys. It's a classic that does not get as much attention as it deserves. I'll let you watch for yourself.
Disney, you outdid yourselves on this one. You threw off your own groove and gave us a good one.

Fly on the Wall
As I am sitting here watching TV, I realize there is a nasty fly on the wall. One of my dreams/ 3 wishes if I was ever approached by a genie is to be a fly on the wall. Just in case this is you reading Genie, please don't make me look gross or give me a million eye balls.
Moving on, I know everyone wants to know what people say about them, or even listen in on something. If you had to be a fly for a day, have you ever thought of the repercussion to this desire?
Your worst enemies- frogs and fly swatters, maybe even that tape they dangle in cabins.

- You are small and forget listening in on people, you won't have time for any of that when you are too busy trying to stay alive!
- Not only do you look wierd ( maybe a sacrifice you are willing to make), but everytime a cartoon shows the view of a fly it is SO hard to see anything because you see everything really upcloe and mulitplied.
Sketch McGee
The classic Sketch McGee- I use this word often, and no one knows what it means??!!!
This is a serious problem in today's society. Many people do not realize the severity of this issue. Are you a Sketch McGee?
One who is clueless to the activities going on around them, can easily be considered a SM (let's make this easy SM=Sketch McGee) but really clueless people can not be blamed for their lack of information. An SM is one who frequently declines invites to social events, plans outings while fellow classmates, and fails to show up, and most importantly, one who simply has the ability to hide themselves from their friends.
Module 1 :
Lisa and her friends are going to dinner.
"OMG like WHERE is out BFF Avery??!!!
Well, Avery never showed up.
Classic SM example.
Solution to Problem- Don't be rude people, everyone wants your company, and eventually we WILL stop inviting you out if you continue to ditch us and be sketchy.

Tacos y Mas
There is this fabulous, hole in the wall, taco stand down Greenville. The Tacos y Mas makes me feel like I am right at home. I am from El Paso, so when people want to go to Taco Bell and count that as Mexican food, it is hard for me to agree. Unfortunalty, I do not reccomend the "Y Mas" part of the menu. Stick to the Tacos.
As born and raised "Mexa"- short for Mexican, I can say I am qualified to tell you what the perfect taco is made up of.
THE PERFECT TACOS
As born and raised "Mexa"- short for Mexican, I can say I am qualified to tell you what the perfect taco is made up of.
THE PERFECT TACOS
- Flour Tortillas, NOT corn,
- Lots of sirloin steak and/or chicken, straight off the grill. No EXCUSES
- Lime, always squeeze lime onto that taco, it only makes it that much better.
- I know some people hate onions, but grilled onions in a gaucamole sauce are a must.
- Add what you want, but the more you add, the more falls out of the bottom, and no one likes an empty taco.
I'm an Only Child
I am an only child BUT not really.
I grew up with two boys, Arturo and Alejandro Vargas. They are like my brothers. They defend me to the end. When we were younger, I used to fight other kids protecting Arturo because he refused to talk to people, so I would speak for him. There are pictures of us wearing matching Christmas sweaters. It is so fun to have them around, Honestly, I do not know how it all ended up, old family friends, or what, but we have known each other since I can remember.
Here's the deal, so I have brothers from another mother, but trust me I still suffer from Only Child Syndrome.
I realize that is is difficult to talk about myself so the following is a little blurb from my roommate Jordan, who had the pleasure of rooming with me freshman year.
"It's not really the things she does that have to do with living. She is easy to live with. Teh best thing I can remember is the time we were going to the mall, and she refused to get in the car unless I brought a certain CD. She pouted on the Shuttle's bench for 12 minutes until I went and got the CD for a 10 minute long ride. Thank God I have six siblings or else anyone else would have left her there like a 3 year old."
At least no one can tell I am an only child just by looking at me!

I can't help myself. . .
I know this might not serve as a post, but If you have not seen this video PLEASE watch it.
Maybe you will not find it funny, but in an effort to make someone laugh, if they are having a bad day, this post does the trick. If you are feeling blue. . or purple, whatever it may be, don't be sad fellow blogger because this vid, will make you see, that Marcel the Shell is full of glee.
WATCH ME IF YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY-
or do not feel like doing homework (either one works)

Law and Order. . . FOREVER
Look, I find it CRAZY that I can still watch TNT and not see re-runs of Law and Order (dunn dunnn). . .In case you did not get that, I'm trying to simulate that creepy chime they play between scenes.
Props to you people of Law and Order, because you only further prove how crazy our world is. I mean they come up with some crazy stuff, and they have yet to run out! To compare, I would also like to point out that recently, while watching Nickelodeon, I watched a new episode of Spongebob Squarepants. Yes, I still watch cartoons, especially after all of those Law and Order episodes. The two shows have nothing in common, except for the fact that I feel I have been watching them forever, and still see new things.
Point of the Post:
Well I'm baffled to see that it has just completed its 20th season this past May. Umm, hello, Friends, you totally got served. They have been able to maintain an audience and entertain people for 2 decades. But how? The basic truth of what goes on out there. The success of the show might also be form the 7 million franchises of the orginal. From SVU to Law and Order Criminal Intent, they show just keeps on going.

The Creative Space
Where is it?
Who decides what makes up a "creative space"?
Well enough about everyone else- here is MY space.
I realize that people who are creative shouldn't be "caged" up, well whatever that means. . .
In a bustling world, where people are aways on the move, it is crucial to have that little corner of your world.
No one can touch your pencil without you knowing it! (It's true, maybe I'm crazy, but I realized when my roommate took my favorite eraser. . . creepy)
What more can you say, when a picture says 1000 words.

Words of Wisdom . . . From the Not So Wise
You could go to a psychiatrist, you could go mope around, you could go confide in your goldfish, but really no matter who you ask, no one ever gives you the right advice. You ask everyone what they think, and you want everyone's input, but at the end of the day, only you end up choosing. So why is it that we always have to go around and get the world's input?
Being an only child, I have always felt the need to ask people for their opinions when I face a difficult situation. Sometimes I wonder if for once, if I took the advice from something so crazy and unconventional as a fortune cookie- would it be easier to just go with what it tells me?
We all go to Pei Wei and grab three handfuls of the little cookies. They don't even taste good?!! I watched several people grab one or two, even saw a lady just about run off with the whole damn bucket! In any case, for once instead of listening to some sappy Taylor Swift song, or pretend to pay attention to my friend's opinions while she blabbered on, I took the advice of the fortune cookie...
Granted I took about six until I liked one. . BUT I picked one finally.
To make a long story short, the problem at hand was not fixed, BUT, who knew a little piece of paper could change your life! I forced myself to make a decision on the fortune, "excitment follows you everywhere you go."
Fate and destiny it's all crap. You make your own decisions, even if it is from a little cookie, or a hobo, whatever it may be, one day if everyone stopped listening to the words of the people around them, and took the advice from some silly thing, what would happen??
Only the fortune cookie knows. . .
Funny thing is. . I found this on Google, after writting this:
Being an only child, I have always felt the need to ask people for their opinions when I face a difficult situation. Sometimes I wonder if for once, if I took the advice from something so crazy and unconventional as a fortune cookie- would it be easier to just go with what it tells me?
We all go to Pei Wei and grab three handfuls of the little cookies. They don't even taste good?!! I watched several people grab one or two, even saw a lady just about run off with the whole damn bucket! In any case, for once instead of listening to some sappy Taylor Swift song, or pretend to pay attention to my friend's opinions while she blabbered on, I took the advice of the fortune cookie...
Granted I took about six until I liked one. . BUT I picked one finally.
To make a long story short, the problem at hand was not fixed, BUT, who knew a little piece of paper could change your life! I forced myself to make a decision on the fortune, "excitment follows you everywhere you go."
