Columbus, OHIO
Jun 9th
Just got back from Columbus, Ohio today. Was there for a few days with compLexity for MLG Columbus 2010. Last year Columbus was my first event with compLexity and this year it was 100 times better!
coL.Red ended up taking 2nd place in WoW and coL.Tekken 3v3 also took 2nd. We didn’t win but it was a great time hanging out with everyone again.
You can find all the pictures and videos from this weekend here.
Pixar – Up
Jan 1st
Let me start by saying that Pixar has done it again! That is right, another amazing movie by Pixar. From the creativity, plot, editing and everything else, it is perfect. I am so glad that I was able to have some free time to go see this on it’s release date. I went to an 8:20 showing and the theater was absolutely packed!
At age 78, Carl, gets a new lease on life that fills him with new faith. No matter how old you get never give up on your dream. We see this when Carl decides to take off to Paradise Falls. Why we should never give up on dreams? We should never give up on dreams, because anything is possible.
Dreams are the touchstones of our character. Henry David Thoreau
Another important thing in life, especially in this time of bad economic status, is to cherish what you have. To not want more and better things is hard, but nothing is wrong with wanting stuff. It is not wrong to want something because that is your dream and anything is possible. We have to appreciate what we have and treat it with care. There are so many people who have absolutely nothing and would die to have just a small portion of what we do. It is the stuff that you work hard for that should mean a great deal to you.
Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. Napolean Hill
In up, we meet a dog, named Doug. Doug is a true outcast from his group. All Doug wants is to be included. We know that in life some people will accept you, others will scold and make fun of you. But no matter what, there is some where for you to be accepted. What we need to understand is there is always somewhere and someone who will accept us. Just because you are turned down with one person or at one place, does not mean everyone will be like that. The key to this really is to never say never and not to quit. There is a right someone and place for every single person on this Earth, you just need to find it.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. Dr Seuss
Another great thing about up is it shows many lessons in life. Carl Fredricksen tries to escape from everyone and go to Paradise Falls. To his surprise, Russel, the Wilderness Scout is joining him on the journey. What we see here is that it is impossible to escape everyone. Why is that you ask? It is because everyone is accepted and no one deserves to be alone. The movie is very colorful too, it shows us the sweetness of life. In today’s world we forget how truly beautiful life is and pixar wants to remind us of that.
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas Edison
