Crapples Commercial

Alright so I think it was last week when my sister and I were bored at home. Had nothing to do. Then she decided to cook something. She was looking for apples as I was doing homework and she said "Hey, do we have any apples that look somewhat decent?! These look like crap!" and then she came up with the term "Crapples" which I laughed at whenever I heard it for probably the rest of the day. I was thinking about trying to make a commercial for this for STAC Live. Not as an ad, but just as something that we can show to people as sort of an example of what we do in STAC. Or it can just be something that I can do as an independent project for shits and giggles. Sometimes when I think about it, Crapples does sound kinda stupid and ridiculous. But, in a cereal ad or other things including apples, it would look very funny. I still remember the plot:

So, little Billy has just come home after a long, hard day of school. He says that he's so tired, he could sure use a little snack for some energy. Then, *fart noise*, Mommy McFeces (or something like that) appears and says that she has a remedy for his troubles. Billy looks into the camera and goes "Re-me-dy? What's that mean?!" with a stupid expression on his face. Then Mommy McFeces says, "Well, I'll tell ya. My newest addition to food groups: Crapples!" "Crapples?!?! What's that?" Then the camera goes to Mommy McFeces with a big, devilish smirk and on her face. She throws a batch of them on a plate and in front of little Billy. He looks at it for a second... "What the fuck is this crap?" and Mommy McFeces tries to keep her cool "It's the McFeces' way toward a healthy diet... (aside to Billy) now eat it, ya sissy." "Hey! I'm not a sissy!" She scarfs it down his throat. Little Billy is looking nauseous and turning green. "Now how did that taste, my little Billy willy?" Pinches his cheeks... last straw. Billy throws up the Crapples on her. She's an angry turd now "Alright you little crapsicle!!! I mean, no no no Billy hahaha... kids." "So buy my Crapples today for a guaranteed healthy lifestyle!" "THEY SUCKED!" "SHUT UP BILLY!" Then a deep-voiced narrator will name off other foods like Crapples such as Crapple Pie, Crap Cakes, and Crapple Jacks.

I hope that you all liked this little commercial I put together and I hope it gets taken at least into consideration.

The Struggles that I'm Facing with my Assignments

Hey everybody. I thought that it would be appropriate to make this post at a present time because I have been struggling with a lot of materials in my arts program, STAC. I feel like STAC could help me to become a better learner of art that I could apply to other fields of study, but I just have to learn to accept the help from other people and not counteract with how I think that their help should be given to me or if there help is relevant or not to me and how to get that across in a not-so harsh way. I have been told by my teacher that writing blogs is supposed to be you're coming up with the idea as you are writing and trying to find yourself in the disciplines that you learned about pertaining to what the developing idea that you're blogging about.

I'm thinking that the problem with me is I'm too afraid to just let things happen. Too afraid to let go. Too afraid to break free from mission control center (aka my brain). I have been struggling with this problem ever since the beginning of high school and before, along with some others which I may talk about later. Almost every time I'm faced with a problem, I go through my mind of what I think I can do to achieve it and sometimes ideas cross and I over think about what the teachers and the students want, instead of what I want. This is also the case when I have to deal with when giving my opinion about something. I know what an opinion is defined as, but I feel like whenever I give mine in a writing or in front of a group of people, I want it to be very insightful which then leads to more over thinking. I have breakdowns over this one thing for not knowing the right time to do it, but I've learned to co-op with it over the years.

I keep on thinking that the problem with my blogging is that there are voices in my head always second guessing me, saying that it's not good enough or it won't be like the others or it won't measure up to the consent of other students, the teacher, or any other people who are reading this. I should really just be doing this for me, Although I can never seem to get that into my thick head, I still think about it a lot. It's either that or the legitimate excuse of just not getting to it. No matter what happens, I need to be more mentally responsible for getting everything in, even if it sucks. Another problem was always asking for help because I always felt that if you wanted to be mature, you had to be able to do things on your own. That mentality still blocks my thinking and I'm still trying to co-op with it also. I will try my best to further improve on this in the future, but for now, I just have to deal with the consequences and pray that I can do a better job next time the opportunity comes around. I'm also looking for feedback on ideas to help me overcome any of these blocks. Thank you.
