Life updates and my Experiences with the Burkheart center for Autism within the past two weeks

Well I have obviously been offline and away from here for quite some time But now i am back. Anywho to keep things simple, my first week was a bit rough since I was still getting used to how things work at the burkheart center but I am adjusting. Though with my new living quaters its a work in progress as I am still getting everything placed to my liking. This second week has been alot better as I am currently doing two internships through them,
1) Texas tech Greenhouse or the Greenhouse as they refer to it as being.
2) the Theateare next door to them (though the name I can not seem to remember)

(Just thinking about it at the moment my blogging skills are probably aweful but yet here I am still doing it.)

On a seperate note I have started up another project for myself to work on. though to be specfic its a radio under the branding Stewart Warren.  I am not particualry sure since part of the model info is a bit obscurred. Though my game plan with the unit is to keep the original casing and add two additional speakers to make it a three channel system. Then with the dial that controls the radio station give it a  new backlight and maybe if possible allow it to control what the actual station it is. while in the grand scheme of things use modern audio equiment to operate it. Lastly the old record player removed and the space where it once was converted into storage space for magizines and whatnot. But overall the original asthethic kept as i do like the cracked wood appearence.

Now might be asking how I got it, well then to put it simply it was from buying two excellent condition desks from a family in Lubbock that did not have a need for them anymore. they were asking $30USD for it but they gave it to me for free as a gift along with a collection of awesome games, two of which remain unopened .

Beauty and the Beast! Thoughts and Theory.

Hello!

So lately there has been a bit hype surrounding Disney's remake of "Beauty and the Beast" and not to spoil the movie, it is more or less a modern live action copy of the original film that was released in 1991. Though I am not saying the original was bad but for Disney's sake, they could have done better. But this post is not about my ranting on everything they did wrong but more as theory, to in a way from the research I have done to disprove the story.

To start off with the story was originally based on a french man by the name of  Petrus Gonsalvus (born in 1537). Who during his early years was treated as being a mere oddity because of the fact that he had "Hypertrichosis" or Ambras syndrome which was caused by the mutation of genes during childbirth. Though as time went on his life got somewhat better by eventually becoming a nobleman within the french court, and getting to raise a family. whom at first did not care for him but over time did see the good in him. thus with all things realized that he was nothing more than a common man. Yet different he was not a beast as the people of the time period believed him to be.

You are probably thinking how does his story disprove the one that is known? It actually doesn't as he to a degree help inspire the story that we know and love today. So at this point to me, I feel that the story itself is good for what it is but yet now I feel like the beast is deserving of some credit. In his own way based on the version created by Disney, he became what he was as the result of his selfishness by not providing a place of shelter for an enchantress. Whom at the time disguised herself as an old beggar woman.

Now you're probably thinking this has to be farfetched, well for the sake of this variant of the story we will just have to make it work since when that happened he had not yet even reached the age of 20. So most likely he was a very young man. Though in logic, I believe his turning into a beast was most likely the result of him not experiencing love from his own parents and in return, it became resentment and anger that was built up over time.

At this point what are your thoughts on this classic tale, and as always I wish you the best in life.

Well hey, folks!

Life has been well difficult, to say the least as I have been in the progress of moving and hopefully making something of a decent start in life while I attend the Burkhart Center in Lubbock Texas. Though as of the past few weeks/days (however you wish to refer to them) I have had to temporarily postpone working on my costume project. in favor of getting stuff packed and whatnot. Of course, as with most moving of locations cases, I do not really think you would actually be interested in seeing the boxes of my stuff.

Anywho on another note, Progress has been made in getting stuff moved over. though with that being said I do not have wifi access so posts on here might be limited in terms of being released or unless something changes. But do at least understand this is a walk in life for me to become a self-sustaining individual in the working class world. Overall have a good day and just live life in the ways that work.

Life and thoughts towards "Attention Seekers"

To a point, I am bored today (2/11/2017), not like that is a bad thing but overall that's life for a common Saturday. If anything let this blog post be at least a discussion as I do not know if I have ever given my thoughts towards "attention seekers." Because I made a post on Tumblr discussing it. Anyway quoting my original Post on Tumblr;  "Generally speaking, I don't mind the different types of furries. But there is a point that some of them do have a tendency to act as show-offs which I greatly hate. As I find it to be annoying as such people generally are looking for attention for media glut. So if anything to me subtly is a good way to go about things as your not trying to gain success but doing in such a way that such attention is earned" With that being said I have nothing against people overall just those that act in such a way that I find annoying or disagree with.  Since some people are from my own experiences do like to gloat or just plain rude and disrespectful.

Life updates

This post I'm going to try and keep short and sweet as being more of an in general life update. Overall since my last post life has been ok for the most part as I have been preparing to take my last and final exam for high school level British literature after I ace it then off to the world of normal life after High school. Then with a bit of help from the Burkhart Center off to the grand world of the workplace, hopefully doing something that I can enjoy and fits within my level of skills.
Though lately, I have not worked too much on the fursuit project aka "furst costume I have ever made" but I do have a general idea as to what I am wanting for the end result. Minus the fact that I seriously do not know how to draw or create the required design images but if someone who knows this area of expertise wants to help me out that would be super awesome as we might be able to work out something of an agreement in exchange.

On a separate note getting my annoying Toshiba cavio connect 2 external hard drive working is a lost cause. To the point that I have to more or less take it into a hard drive repair shop just to get my data back. So I am majorly annoyed since I spent an additional $60 just to buy another drive to repair the one that died. Overall I would recommend avoiding Toshiba branded products.

Dr. Jekyll script

Setting: The scene starts with a common 18th century style bedroom where a servant who once worked for a Dr. David J. Jekyll is sitting by the bedside of his/her grandchildren in a very homely like fashion with a slight yet not thunderous drizzle of rain falling to the ground.  As the telling of tale progresses the scene shifts to that of the lab where Dr. Jekyll is working on his latest experiment and the dialogue transitions from the narrator to Dr. Jekyll which is located at another point on the stage. Where the lighting has since then changed focus.

Characters:
Dr. David J. Jekyll; Scientists bent on the idea that man is made of two sides and devises a way to prove this theory using chemicals. Is considered by some a recluse but does have a social life away from his home.
            Edward P. Hyde: Evil counter part of Dr. Jekyll and came as a result of his experiment.
Lab Assistant: Employee of Dr. Jekyll whom works with him and provides assistance when required but generally is in the role of a butler.
Dr. Robert Layton: Friend of Dr. Jekyll but no longer is as a result of a disagreement on scientific matters.
Robert J. Poole: Retried employee of Dr. Jekyll whom was the butler while in his service.
 Grandchildren:  A boy and a girl whom of which are roughly the age of 7 and 8, and related to the since retired servant.




Scene 1
Setting: A medium sized 18th century style bedroom where rain drizzling down outside the bedroom window occasionally picking up speed and then calming down. The speed of the wind changes with each passing minute of the night.

Children: {Still awake and full of energy but are in the bed as it is bed time} Grandpa Poole, what was it like working for Dr. .Jekyll and that time he created Mr. Hyde? (They calm down a bit, but are still full of energy getting settled into the bed}
Poole: Now! Now! Settle down children as I will tell you that ever so unusual tale of tales. {The grandkids finally get settled in bed awaiting to hear the story) It all started on that faithful day when a friend of Dr. Jekyll’s, a Dr. Robert Lanyon I believe his name was were having a discussion on his theory that man has two parts a good and bad side…. [The lighting/scene shift to a different area of the stage where the two doctors can be seen in what looks like a common room having a discussion} They were good friends for the longest of time but as a result of their discussion their relationship changed.

Dr. Lanyon: Jekyll, the shear idea of what you have proposed is utterly crazy and preposterous. It is just not cricket or even an idea worth considering for scientific study. Use your talents for something useful.

Dr. Jekyll: Lanyon I believe it is possible and though the use of the right chemicals, {speaking in a strong defensive voice} Man can split itself into two parts. Like I have mentioned already:  “Man has two sides, good and bad,” by doing it would allow for the development of what some might consider to be a perfect person. I for one believe that such a drug could be made! Say what you will but in due time I will surely prove you wrong!

Dr. Lanyon: think what you will but don’t come crawling back to me when you realize that your research was a waste of time. Especially when there are better things you can spend your time developing or better yet doing for king and country! {Lanyon storms out of the house with a bit of an annoyed expression knowing in his mind that such frivolous ideas as mentioned by Dr. Jekyll were crazy.}

{Scene shifts back to the children and their grandfather for a few moments}
Poole: A few weeks later Mr. Jekyll finally came close to proving Dr. Lanyon wrong. By making the discovery that would turn him into Edward J. Hyde! Thus beginning the fantastic mystery that was soon to come. {Speaking in a mysterious tone of voice as to keep the children interested in the story]

[The children listen quietly wondering as to what is yet to come. The scene changes to lab environment to where the audience finds Dr. Jekyll is working on his split personality formula and is about ready to test it for the first time.]

Dr. Jekyll: HAHA I believe I have finally determined the formula I need to finally remove my bad side of my personality for good. {With trembling hands and the flask at the ready consumes the yellowish colored liquid, turning an unusual pinkish color. Falling down below the table with noises indicating a change is occurring, slowly rising up Jekyll has transformed into Mr. Hyde.]
Hyde: It seem as though I have finally been released from my prison. But what if someone sees what I have become? {He quickly drinks the antidote and same action as previously mentioned occurs.}

Jekyll: But I first should at least inform the staff of my evil half’s coming as he shall be known as Edward J. Hyde!  [He leaves the room and informs the staff about Mr. Hyde.}


End of scene 1

Thoughts on the Current State of Society

I do not know what the problem is lately with society, in particular with the furry fandom for example. But I am noticing lately that many people seem to just be out for themselves instead of showing a willingness to help others. Because to me, I would rather be around people who would do show some level of consideration and respect for how I feel and my personal feelings. Helping me out when I need help, or providing that tool that allows me to finish working on a project.
Society In a way has gotten to be what some or anyone would more or less consider being corrupt. As there are good people in the world worth doing business with, but still even the best of them are jerks in some way or another even some popufurs for example. But something I think people should realize is that we are all equal and no better than anyone else. Thus by natural law, we would not be allowed to judge another person because we do not agree with them as we are equally guilty. To a point with the Internet today there needs to an international standard that holds everyone accountable for their actions and wrong doings. If you do something that violates those general rules, then there is a price to pay for those activities. Simply put, act as though you were talking to another person in actual life, as we all see the world differently and in our own ways. The thing about negativity is you have to have it to build upon the good as you can choose to accept or reject the given information but either way you can not deny the truths presented within.
Overall you as individual reading this post can not deny the fact that "Life is not something to just take lightly, but instead use it as an opportunity to build and grow and develop your own life for the better!"
