The Reading Journal thats not exactly a reading journal. . journal. . ?

Ok well this packet that Ms. Kay gave us to read this weekend is. . . .uhmm. . .well. . .let me put it this way, I read it all and didn't really absorb any of it. I think my mind kinda went onto auto pilot with in the first paragraph. With strange new words smashed together like "metaphor of public discourse", my mind went "Whoa. . .I am not in the mood to be absorbing these long words" (well they weren't exactly long, just new) Marketing and media don't exactly fascinate me. . . but see here, if this had to do some how with animal sciences/ veterinary sciences/ or exotic sciences, and marketing that sort of stuff, I would be so into this. Well . . I don't know, I am just not in the mood to be doing this.
But seeing as I am being unbelievably stubborn, I think I will just talk about what I talked about on Friday. Talk about media in some way. See there was this one video that I watched at church. ( I am pretty sure this is a form of media . . .?? It communicated a point via technology, you know via is a fun word lol. . ) Ok getting off topic. But its amazing that how a simple six minute video can move you in such a dramatic way. A life changing way. A way that changes your life style forever!
It was the skit for the song, Everything by Lifehouse.
What got me the most, moved me the most, and my turning point, was the turning point for the person in the skit.
The chorus started a little more strongly than the others before it, with a little more 'ummpff' then there was a second of hesitation in the music and for the person.
Then the music came on again, this time with full on energy. "You're all I want, you're all I need. Everything, Everything"
played over and over again, in a pleading, desperate way, as the person struggled, and struggled.
You could here the crowd cheer in encouragement.
I could help but emit a cry of encouragement as well.
And when she made it,
I made it.
the pieces that came together for her came together for me.

It was indescribable.




If you click on this link, you may not understand it at all, you might understand it. But did I sure as heck understand it. And it changed me. Forever.

Oh and it gets a little cheesy at parts. . .but it still got its point across.

Ok well I am sorry MS Kay that this didn't exactly come out like a reading journal, and especially not in the format you would of liked it in, but I promise that I will go by the book next time.

Over and out
