Jack Dawson… Penniless artist who wins a ticket onto Titanic in 1912, attends a first class dinner, develops a taste for the finer things in life, pockets the Heart of the Ocean, survives the sinking, pawns the diamond, spends the following ten years building his wealth and in 1922 moves to West Egg as Jay Gatsby… Millionaire with a shady past and fear of swimming pools.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

Then Inception happens

how is that even related

this movie has that same man swallow a boneless glob-chicken whole and that’s what you have an issue with?

well it’s kinda not supposed to, because the point in the whole movie is to show how chihiro along with other children share a disconnect with their parents - that their parents dont listen

so when she tells her dad that they’re lost, her dad assumes it’s another question and doesn’t pay attention to what she’s really asking

this is why she sees things they dont, and miyazaki tries to emphasize that - that’s how she gets into the magical world and err not get turned into a pig.

sometimes parents suck and they’ve already passed that point of decency or creativity that children have. but at the end chihiro still loves her parents even though they make mistakes because she still tries to save them.

11 Things About Music Education (long but awesome)

Thu, 23 May 2013 19:53:37 -0400

1: Children who study music tend to have larger vocabularies and more advanced reading skills than their peers who do not participate in music lessons.
2: Studying music primes the brain to comprehend speech in a noisy background. *Children with learning disabilities or dyslexia who tend to lose focus with more noise could benefit greatly from music lessons.
3: Research shows that music is to the brain as physical exercise is to the human body. Music tones the brain for auditory fitness and allows it to decipher between tone and pitch.
4: Children who study a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education.
5: In the past, secondary students who participate in a musical group at school reported the lowest lifetime and current use of all substances (tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs).
6: Schools with music programs have an estimated 90.2 percent graduation rate and 93.9 percent attendance rate compared to schools without music education who average 72.9 percent graduation and 84.9 percent attendance.
7: Regardless of socioeconomic status or school district, students who participate in high-quality music programs score 22 percent better on English and 20 percent better on Math standardized exams.
8: Much like expert technical skills, mastery in arts and humanities is closely correlated to high earnings.
9: A study from Columbia University revealed that students who study arts are more cooperative with their teachers and peers, have higher levels of self-confidence, and are more equipped to express themselves and their ideas.
10: Elementary age children who are involved in music lessons show greater brain development and memory improvement within a year than children who receive no musical training.
11: Learning and mastering a musical instrument improves the way the brain breaks down and understands human language, making music students more apt to pick up a second language.

this halloween I’m dressing up as “drum corps member who arrived at the housing site at 3 am and realized he has to climb up three flights of stairs to get to the sleeping area”

And the floors have just been redone for the upcoming school year so you can’t roll your luggage, you have to carry it…

I don’t know how everyone else does it but at Spirit we always have to carry our luggage into the gym…

also… look how tiny my suitcase is. I’m proud of my work.
