         Starting this Thursday the Columbia City Haunted Jail will be open for 3 days. I hope I get to scare someone so badly the drop to the ground crying like a little baby. If we were running the chainsaw section I would have them running so fast they could break a track record. I think my favorite part of working the jail is the people I work with they are all so nice and laid back to me they are a second family. But I'm sad because I won't be able to work with them during the next season of haunting in October due to college.

Story #11

                    This story is about how to deal with criticism and how to take it a little less personally. A lot of people take criticism to heart thinking they have to change everything to make it not happen again. If you take the criticism and apply it to what is already happening and it will fix it, also it shows that the person who criticizes you is very critical. In the end we all are critical about things either it being an opinion of art, or things others do around you. I can use the information to better myself  like on my art work if I get some criticism on it I can change it up and it will turn out better, but just ignore the negative criticism take in the positive criticism.

Story #10

             If you desire a happy life create don't a state of mind that if people push your buttons you won't care. If you do this is how you become stressed all your life, but if you react with acceptance they will stop. In the end your life can change for the better by not getting mad easily, and people will notice that your accepting it the people will stop. Also you will change you demeanor towards others will change dramatically for the better. I on the other hand am half and half it ultimately depends on the person pushing my buttons sometimes I'll care other times I won't.

Video #2

      This speech is about Steve jobs giving a commencement speech at Stanford and telling 3 stories of his life. How he went from nothing to something, and how life can constantly change for everyone.  Also that if you just settle you'll go nowhere if you continue looking better opportunities come along. He also had been diagnosed with cancer and was told to go home and pretty much say good byes, but the cancer was removed through surgery, and that death is the single best invention of life. In my opinion this speech was amazing it he brought up many great things but the best part was him saying," Death is the single best invention of life."

         Overall this project has been cool I enjoy the guys I work with in my group. But in the end when one person is gone pretty much everyday in your group it becomes frustrating. The book is coming along very nicely just needs all more work to be complete. But more time between each checkpoint would be great.

      This is going to be a long action packed weekend into Monday. Friday I'm leaving to Indianapolis going to the hotel, and walking around the city. Saturday from noon to about 11:30 I will be in Lucas oil stadium watching supercross. Sunday I will be leaving Indianapolis and relax at home eat food, and watch tv. On Monday I will be going to school for about 3 periods, leaving, picking up two of my friends, go back to Indianapolis for an amazing concert, then after take them home, and go home and sleep.

Story #8

         I've experienced the practice of being unhappy with many things. Like playing guitar I think that I could do so much better but others say it sounds great and I continue thinking this can be better. Also with my art that I do everyone says it looks amazing I continue to see the flaws in the art that I do. But in the end I need to get out of the funk and look into the brighter things about what I do. I need to see the better side of my art work and the greater sound of my guitar, if people learn to not think negative about small things the world would be a better place.

Story #7

        The 90/10 trap is that people focus on the worst part of the day which is the 10% of a persons day and the 90% is the rest of it. The 10% is the usually brought up topic in discussion when asked how was your day. If you focus on what you like you can change that 90/10 to a 100% good day. How I will use this in my life is by focusing on the positive and asking brighter questions about what they did during they're day. If done so your days should be better, conversations with people will be better, and life should go by easier.
