Thoughts on Madama Butterfly
9/19/16
"What the hell?"
1. Doll porn. O_O
2. I was confused as to why the man had come in the first place. My initial theory was that this was like Pocahontas, and the man had been looking to settle in this new land, but that changed when he left.
3. Why did the baby start as a fish?
4. When the man came back and decided to take the child as if it belonged to him alone, I literally threw my hands in the air. With the way this was produced, I was right there with the woman hoping that the man would come back and they would be a family. This shattered that hope.
5. Seeing the complete torment and eventual suicide that the mother underwent really shows the bond that a parent, and more specifically, a mother has with their baby. I felt truly sorry for her.
6. Lastly, was the last clip of the woman being brand new and back at the beginning of the piece mean that the events would repeat themselves in a cycle? If so, why? What is the meaning behind this?
Ultimately, this was some weird stuff, but somehow I liked it. With how open ended it was, it left me wanting more and now I actually want to research about it and find its meaning.

Raul Cuero Comments
9/11/2016
-This guys is a badass
Seriously though, I truly appreciate Cuero's strength and perseverance. The point that I took most to heart from this interview was just how much you can accomplish against the odds. Despite being given practically nothing that would assist him (finances, education, location, geographic tendencies, etc.), Cuero still pursued his dream and became an extremely successful man. This point really hits home as I have faced several moments in life where I was discouraged to continue in my pursuits, including my current area of study in school. When I think of how Cuero also faced these problems as well as so many others, it really gives me motivation to keep chasing after my dreams and to be the me who I want to be (God, I love being cliche). To me, that is the ultimate way to live smart.
-Really really really enjoyed this process

ASCII Art
9/7/16
So, I just tried out the ASCII Art generator, inputting some pictures that I like as well as some art work that I've created. The results were interesting and I appreciated the science behind it. Being able to take an image that someone hand drew and transform it into code and letters, while still ending up with the image is really cool in my opinion. I did struggle with distinguishing value and shading, but that comes with the territory I guess. Overall, it was a cool process especially for how far we've come since then.
