Halloween II

In the first year of our relationship, my boyfriend, Jason, and I started having a few disagreements about decision making and communication.

Most of color harmonies consist of combination of two or more colours within a specific relationship on the color wheel where one of them is dominant. For example in horror films if we use orange and teal, blue will be the dominant because we want to show more of the cold side and because we want it to look scary.

Exciting on the edge of your seat thriller that will make you think twice at every turn, as ordinary people (people like me and you) find themselves entrenched in the ways of Druids who have an agenda – an agenda of evil – and their focus is YOU! Below is an…

The story is unsettling as the player comes to term with the concepts of identity, consciousness, and the core reasoning of what it means to be human. The player will find itself in the underwater facility PATHOS-II. This facility serves as a base for scientific research, military applications, and possibly something a bit more sinister and top secret. Communications are down, the food supply is low, and the machines have taken on a very human personality of their…

in “Strawberry Spring,” despite all the women being murdered in the story, the experience is a “peculiar sort of fun” (King, “Why We Crave” 2.

I could go trick or treating, but that’s for little kids, and have you heard the news about people putting things in the candy? I wanted nothing of that. Besides I don’t like candy that much.

On July 20th, 2012 I was an attendant of midnight premier of the “Dark Knight,” at the Century 16 Movie Theater, also known as one of the U.S worst massacre ever. Two days after the shooting, I assembled a group of friends to create “Colorado Strength Ribbons.” The reason I choose this topic to write about is because before this class, I still looked…
