I’d like to sum up my first three articles, which I’ve adopted the name for
since they’re more of rants than they are actual assignments, before I go on to
actually talk about my final website project.

        I hope whoever read the previous articles takes a step back after reading my
writing, and takes a moment to think about if any of it makes sense, before I’m
talked about as a terrible person for all the negative feelings.  While I’m more
brutal than I am supportive of many things, especially in papers II and III, I
feel that too many things are sugar-coated and nothing will ever change unless
something is done.  I also realize when I read it that I sound very into myself
and that I’m the best, when I really don’t feel that way.  Sometimes, I feel
though that I am more overlooked than anything, just because I choose to be
more quiet and not show off everything that I prize.  For many reasons, I feel
people aren’t interested in others, as you’ve probably noted.

        I have developed an ignorance though, and will voice my opinions when I have
them.  When writing these, it’s been a bit of a therapy, as I got things off my
chest that bothered me at the time of the writing, and I’ve learned that I
really liked doing this.  I hope to continue doing this and possibly make it a
career choice down the line.  I am criticized for things I do and believe and I
feel this is the reason why I’m so critical of others.

        For paper I, I was in a very artsy mood.  I wish I had the time and the energy
to do the things I spoke of, draw all the pictures I had included in my article
instead of pasting, and make my own video.  This would have been a good time to
use the digital story feature that we learned of, but once I started I don’t
think I would have wanted to stop, and I would have loved to make an hour long
documentary of myself.

        For paper II, I was in a bitter mood, and the one event I spoke of for a
majority of the paper fueled my rage.  I enjoy the fact that it got my juices
flowing and I was able to speak my mind without having to worry about what
others would say about it.  While when I look back at how the assignment was
given, I don’t believe that I followed it in the exact way as mentioned, but as
it was meant to be creative and interpret it, I think I found a way to pull it
off.

        For paper III, I felt it was more straightforward.  As I say in my
introduction, I think this is what I was meant to do.  I hope I can eventually
find a job in the media and entertainment industry, or provide some kind of
entertaining service or something where I can use a vast amount of knowledge
and skills to better myself and others.

        I wanted to create a website for the pure reason that I’ve wanted one for a
long time.  Like I stated earlier, I don’t usually share everything I do with
others, for reasons that people usually don’t care too much.  I made this for
myself, and those who might actually be interested in seeing what I have to
offer.  This is the best way to show everything at once.

        I wanted the website to be simple, yet creative.  I didn’t want directions,
because as I’ve said, I think people are given too many directions.  The
website is much like the game Myst.  You point and click and then figure out
what to do to ultimately solve and finish the puzzle that awaits for you.  I
have a Myspace profile, and it is as plain as can be, much like this website.
Other people load their profile with what I like to call junk, as it’s just
copy and pasted images of things that don’t matter in the long run, and it
ultimately makes the website slow, cluttered, and a pain to navigate.

        The website is not as pretty as can be, but I feel it is a good start.  I lack
the computer knowledge needed to make a fantastic website, but then again, I’m
not really interested in something really flashy.  I would have liked to draw
pictures of myself instead of using old ones I’ve had stored, but the layout is
so easy that I can easily change it at a later time.  This also applies to
updating other pages, as many of them are simple html that I know and don’t
need a specific program that I can only find at school, and I can do this at
home.  This is specifically good for my “B.Log” section as I tend to write best
in the middle of the night.

        If you haven’t figured it out yet, here are simple directions to navigate.  If
you’ve gotten here, you did the first half right.  You clicked the puzzle
pieces which completed class assignments.  The other half to navigate is click
my picture to find out more of who I am and what I do.  Links to some of my artwork will be included eventually, which will lead to bigger pictures of the things I most enjoy. A message board will soon be included as well (hopefully) which is where the "Pick on Brian's Brain" pictures will lead. Enjoy.
