How-To Be Creative

Supplies: An open mind and unconventional thinking.

This article is going to explain some steps that you can take to open up your mind and think creatively. Why can’t six equal nine? Why can’t a dog fly? If you actually had answers to those questions, then this article is for you.

Step 1: Get your main Idea
Come up with a broad idea. In this case we started with a city. Simple enough? Make sure that the idea is very broad and can have things added or subtracted from it.

Step 2: Add something that doesn’t fit
Add something random. You can google random letters and see what images come up for inspiration. Take whatever the random thing is and add it to your idea. It doesn’t have to fit right now. Just put it somewhere where you think it may fit.

Step 3: Make it fit
This step will really test your creativity. Whatever the extra thing is that you have obtained for your idea has to be put into your idea. Think about little things that fit together with the random idea and the original idea. For example, if you have and orange and a picture of Garfield, you should notice that they are both orange.

Step 4: Add one more element
This will take our new idea to the next level. The hardest part about being creative is knowing when to stop. Here is a good rule to try: When you are done, do one more thing. This will not only take your idea in a new direction, it can give it a new and vibrant life.

A message from a boy

The king was dead.

It was a dark and gloomy night in the town of Huntford and the fog that covered the land almost every night had overtaken the beautiful scenery of the surroundings. A gallimaufry or birds, flies and frogs filled the bogs of Huntford. Young footsteps rang as loud drums as a boy let his tattered shoes assault the cobblestone pavement below him. He clung to a message, transcribed on a single piece of parchment, as he ran toward the castle. The boy screamed, “The king is dead! The king is dead!” With the screams of the birds and the croaking of the frogs, all of the sound in Huntford seemed to mesh with the loud recanting of the boy. It all began to sound like a crunk song. Then Silence.

He saw the king in front of him. The housemaids arrived and began to therapize the queen. Then again, silence. Not one person could believe the sight before them. It was the king, sitting on his bahookie, dead. The guards were trying to revive him, but nothing they did proved utile.

The young boy slowly walked up to the queen and handed her the message that he had been holding. She opened it. Her eyes grew larger with each and every word that her eyes drank. She dropped the letter and walked over to the cadaver of the king. She took of his crown and gave it to the boy. Her tears fell from her eyes as her husband’s kingdom fell to his son.

CLOVERFIELD!!!!!!

I must take this moment to admit that I am a total cloverfield junkie. I followed the viral campaigns and loved the movie. The viral stuff for this movie is genius. They have created fake corporations such as tagruato and slusho. Both of which have overlapped into other movies and TV shows. There have been fake sandwich shop reviews created to suggest that some kind of miracle chemical that is found by drilling in the ocean is making people die. Not to mention possibly the best trailer in history which premiered before transformers. I loved every second of the chase to find out more about the movie.

After I finished the movie all I could think of was that there had to be a sequel! So, I waited for word. As rumors started to swirl about them making another one, I knew the truth. The sequel to cloverfield had been made already. There is no way that a movie that made as much money as it did would not have a sequel. The producers hinted at the sequel, but never confirmed.

You can take my word for it. The movie is done and the viral marketing has begun. Here is the first video for the new and awesome CLOVERFIELD 2!

The Beach and the Sea

The beach debris rolls upon me

And the seas make me see what I need.

The coast will boast and never forget

That the shores abhor the dismal sunset.

It exploits the points in the sand,

Where days once were grand.

But now the light, taken flight,

Surrenders it’s might with the sun each night.

The beach weeps as the moon emerges.

The beach now seeps and creeps with urges;

Passing thoughts to simply stand

And meet the beams of the moon, in the ocean, in the sand.

The sea longs for the beach as it’s tears wash ashore,

The beauty of the moon they both sit and adore.

They watch for hours and the light starts to move.

The beach watches as the ocean engulfs the moon,

As if it were a pearl.

Morning has begun to unfurl.

The great light, now in sight,rises to start off a day,

The beach and the sea adore every ray.
