TIk Tok said “Hello to the world”. Tik Tok. What was the motivation behind sharing videos anyway? Is are Tik Tok generation speaking and talking through motion pictures, laughter and dance, this answer is yes. Tik Tok look at how you’ve changed the social realm with motion moments and unforgettable connects. The change is influenced by the unforgettable millenniums in our day and age we ride waves and influence futures. If I could rename the app, I'd call it “Tik Tok Generation Talk”. Tik Tok had a phenomenal upbringing combined with connection, power, and resources. Tik Tok pushed a positivity wave over the world motivating positivity and will. When did life get so real; the more I see our 2020 generation the more my mind grows with ideas, enthusiasm matched with spark. Tik Tok has changed the way we share excitement amongst our family and friends with unforgettable moments. I'm all for it! The way laughter transcends into beauty, that’s what makes the world spin, that’s what makes the world worth living for I'll never forget my testimony. Tik Tok and myself have a strange story, Moneybag Yo took a hold of my perception and honestly made me believe I could win a 100,000$ dollar prize which turned out to be a façade. Now, my anger most definitely was tested that day after having lost a job and being kicked out from a home. When there is a life changing opportunity on the line, importance increases for the “little guy” and technically, I'd qualify. My sharing today will begin with the video I choose for that challenge. Now go and see the video for yourself of me dancing for a grand prize to a novelty song named “motivation” by Kelly Rowland. Are you back yet? The power of music is the reason I was so confident in my submission to the competition and of course my own unique artistry is a bold fighter. My explanation to the way I designed my video is as follows: my white dress symbolizes peace, while my shoes symbolizes prosperity, and my stature symbolizes privacy. My inspirational phrase for my own life compared to Tik Tok is private peaceful and prosperous; it brakes barriers the difference between me and Tik Tok. Urgency is usually mellow and uncertain. Tik Tok took control of the media, tourists, broadband, and much more; all at one time. Millenniums changed the way we view “viral” that one “term” viral. Tik Tok revolution made the mundane Instagram and overrated snapchat a shame along with old news. The one thing that’s worse than copying is doing better than the competition that started before you, I wonder how their CEO feels. Competition is repetition without direction and perspiration, also my liberation is determined to explain my relation to Tik Tok. Now with my own experience, I've written this down on paper to initiate my thoughts, explain my actions and express my emotions. Tik Tok and Vocal have both transformed my life emotionally and spiritually, more expression is due from those that care and are kind hearted like myself. I am being strong enough to move forward without reciprocation or recognition from others. Tik Tok crushed competitions and challenged the media without trying, no other company has challenged the normal since apple battled cricket and at&t. I see war, others see the world reference. My devastation led me down a dark path with depression, suicidal thinking, and panic attacks and after the last few weeks at Lakeside Behavioral Health I learned to stand tall regardless of the reward. A STRONGER individual has come of this challenge and I encourage others like myself to pursue there passions. Thanks to my experience I get the opportunity to write about it today. My brain moves a mile a minute and I pray for him who does not see or hear for men all need prayer.

I honestly don't know how I'm going to be able to write this because I still can't believe this man is gone now... I know I never met him (even though I wanted to at some point), and I know I haven't seen him in a lot of stuff, but goddamn it, when he hit his mark, he made sure you felt something, and it didn't matter what. I know I got a little sidetracked because I don't know how I want to write this, so please bear with me.
Don Anderson IIPublished 4 years ago in Geeks'The Young and the Restless' spoilers tease a Lola pregnancy
Spoilers for The Young and the Restless continue to tease a possible pregnancy for Lola. Celeb Dirty Laundry is echoing what Soap Hub and Soap Dirt predicted prior to the taping hiatus. The thinking is that in order to add drama to the Kyle and Summer fairy tale, Lola should be carrying Kyle's baby. Now that she actually has slept with Theo it would not be hard to pass off a baby as his, but the due date might be a problem. The spoiler alerts, as well as some fans, believe this is the way the writers will go but others disagree. Some viewers say it does not seem like Lola's nature to lie about the father of her baby and trick Theo into believing the child is his.

Quinn Armstrong’s Survival Skills has proved to be an audience favorite at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival. A parody of police training videos of the 1980s, Armstrong’s film delves deeper into the outmoded teachings of these officers and presents a much more nuanced look into the police training construct as a fresh-faced and naive officer, Jim desperately tries to do the right thing.

First, I need to pick up where I left off... I have to admit...I felt disillusioned with last season. After James and Emma were eliminated in the semi-finals, I didn't even care to finish out the season's blogs. Albeit, that was bias getting in the way of my objective aim in writing those recaps.

Dimples To Die For: Reflecting on A.C. Slater, my Childhood Crush
Dear Reader, let me give you some insight on my adolescent self growing up. I spent every waking moment during childhood with my eyes glued onto the TV. I would try to stay up on a school night because Ghost was on. I identified with Sophia Petrillo when I was 8 years old. I had a physical TV Guide and highlighted programs I anticipated watching because this would potentially be the only time I'd be able to watch Dumb and Dumber until it aired on TBS again - We have a connection, you see! The movie released the same year I was born so I have to watch it!

What is Postmodern cinema? A postmodern film's architecture is characterized by the subversion of the ordinary conventions of narrative structure, rather shaping narrative and meaning by breaking the frame and interrupting the spectator’s suspension of disbelief. Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction and Blade Runner use pastiche to knowingly reference moments and icons from other films, genres and media. In this paper I will examine different aspects of postmodern cinema, analyzing narrative structure, storytelling from multiple viewpoints, and the active shaping of meaning and how that affects the spectator’s sense of displacement. As a primary example, I will refer to Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, a film that utilizes a considerable number of these postmodern tactics.
