Read Mine First

Well readers, this is  it, the school year is over and so is my writing with mrmayo. But, like i said in my last post i’ll still be writing on my blog whenever i feel like it. Also, for my last post i have been asked to reflect over all my writing. So, i think all in all i have done a good job writing especially on my blog. I have really enjoyed writing on this blog mostly because i feel it can be viewed by many people. As of the moment i have 92 hits on my hit counter, and it feels good to know strangers are looking, and (hopefully) enjoying my writing. I think that this year has been a good year and i’m going to miss certain people. However, i don’t feel sad to move along, and I’m excited about high school.

So, thatbeing said, i’ll say goodbye.

For now.

Well, as i mentioned in my last post the school year is almost over and so is my writing for mrmayo. However, I’ve decided to keep my blog and just write on it whenever i feel like it. Soo, anyways i’ll still accept comments and such and nothing will really change other than the fact that no one will tell me what to write about.

Well, it’s almost summer vacation time, and I’m happy for school to be ending. This summer i’ll be learning guitar and also going to a jazz camp. Also i’m hoping to have a great stay at the beach, because i’ll be going their too visit family, and also renting a house their and staying at the beach for two weeks. Also i’ll be swimming on a swim team this summer, and i’m hoping to do good in that.

Well, that’s about it; i hope anyone reading this has a good summer also.

Well….its that time of year again. And here we go, putting on a second Shakespeare play. Now I’m kinda-sorta excited about this, but i think that we could change a few things. First of-we need to get started on this thing right now. We can’t go waiting until the last minute like we did last year, because it won’t work and it will be way to stressful then it needs to be. Also, mrmayo? you need to get a little less excited…because the only way we’ll put this together is if your calm. I think if we can start soon, and stay calm, doing this play will be really fun.

    Hey everybody, everybody! If you haven’t noticed i like to do animation. And in todays post I’m going to write about it. Now the animation i use is called Pivot. It’s the simplest animation software out their and its entirely free. The way Pivot works is that you move the figures limbs or the figure itself frame by frame. 700 frames is roughly a 30 second movie. Now, using a cool function you can also create your own figures, such as a stick or ball. Then its the simple task of moving the stick/ball in accordance with the stick figure’s body and viola! You have a stick figure playing baseball.

Now, to get a background for your figures to act on you need to make or get a background and then use the edit background button that Pivot supplies you with. This way you could make your stick figures move in any different scenario or place. Also, you have the ability to change your characters different colors and also change the thickness and size of the figure. This can be useful for a bigger scene involving 6-10 characters.

The reason that i make these animations is usually because I’m stressed out, bored or just have a lot of time on my hands. Being that a thirty second animation takes about an hour and a half i don’t usually do these with my free time. However doing the animations relaxes me and can almost get me into a Zen-like state of mind. Also, in my opinion, the best part is really to have people enjoy your animations and give you compliments on your work.

Well that’s my post for the day, if your interested in downloading Pivot software please click Here.

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment,

I can’t think of anything for this week’s post. I blew the last one off so now I’m going to write this one, for this week. Lets see, what to write, what to write….frankly i can’t think of anything. My last post on a book i read was good. I think because i could actually enjoy writing about it. Maybe i shouldn’t write today, and blow off another post, but obviously because your reading this i haven’t.

Over the weekend my younger cousins came to visit. That was fun, my younger cousin had just turned 5 so we threw her a small party. Then we went to the zoo….which was boring. And today i have to go to the orthodontist….fun. Okay, one and a half more paragraphs…lets see. What else have i done? Oh, i got into a jazz camp..good for me….aaaaaaaand……I’m going to do swimming this summer.

Their that’s better, only another paragraph. Hmmm…..let me think whats another subject that i could talk (type?) about. Lets see here………….Nope no ideas. Well okay, three more sentences….oh i know! Its raining. Alot. And….it smells like leaves outside. And…..what else? Its also….dusty. And…..my allergies are bad. And….hey that’s my third paragraph! okay well I’ll talk (type?) to whoever is listening(reading?) this on my next post. Hopefully I’ll have an idea then.

    For this week, I’ve decided to tell anyone reading this about a book i just finished reading. However, this book was easily one of the most intense book I’ve every read. I repeat; this is not an easy book to read, you can’t put this book down and it might even make you cry. This book, as you can see from the title is called “Thirteen Reasons Why” and is written by Jay Asher. The book is narrated thorough a high school boy named Clay Jensen, and also by a girl named Hannah Baker. Hannah, who was Clay’s first love has recently committed suicide. One day Clay goes home to find a package on his porch. Clay opens the package to find tapes. He pops a tap in, only to hear a chilling voice that he hasn’t heard for two weeks. The tapes  are Hannah’s suicide tapes.

Hannah speaks to Clay telling him that on these tapes their are thirteen people that are responsible for her death Thirteen Reasons Why. Clay finds, to his surprise that the reason he got these tapes is that he is one of the reasons. Clay also finds a map that shows points where these things happened. For the next twelve hours Clay is guided by the dead girls voice. Living the last moments of her life. Clay is shocked at everything he hears, as he listens to the events and people that where the cause of Hannah’s death.

Although this book sounds like a morbid and twisted book, and believe me it is,  it was a great story, and it had some pretty harsh lessons. Also I’ll say this again; this is one of the more heart wrenching and intense book I’ve ever read. Also their are mature themes that some readers might not be able to handle.  However i would totally recommend this book and i think that you’ll enjoy it.
