1hero + xdramatic irony = Tragic Vision

What happens when you add one hero plus x amount of dramatic irony? You get a tragic vision. This is the formula for Othello. Othello may not have known true intentions and events but still chose to act accordingly propelling the play further into tragic vision.
The main character is the most powerful and influential character so it would be thought that they would have everything; success, love, power, and everything they desired. Although this is an easy misconseption to make it is not true. The most powerful and influential person is the most vulnerable. Any lapse of knowledge or discernament can effect every character and the play as a whole. Iago is the mastermind behind the destruction and downfall but it was Othello's choice to overlook Iago for the job position and instead choose Cassio. In Othello's decision he knocked over the first chip into a never ending spiral of falling dominos until the last domino fell or should I say character.
Every character had their own contribution to the downfall but each action made was evoked by the starter chip, Othello. He over looked Iago so he went after Cassio. Othello married Desdemona which angered Rodrigo. Rodrigo was angered so much that he went after Cassio. Cassio seeked Desdemona's help so she acted. Desdemona's actions upset Othello. This cycle kept going until everyone became nothing but a tragedy. The Domino effect can seem like a harmless chain of actions to reaction or an endless tragic vision. The definition simply depends on the tragic hero, starting domino.

It all started with a migrane and a frog (Lets just say we're Unique)

Wow my family! This one is hard to explain. I cant possibly bring myself to talk about one individual because the family as a whole is equally unique. Yes that is what I'm calling it...UNIQUE. My grandma is the sweetest woman you could ever meet but loves to go to the casino boat. She will spend forever there if she could. That or playing scrabble. Also her hearing is horrible. She cant hear anything. Her apartment is extremely loud from her TV. being turned all the way up and everything you say must be repeated about ten times before she gets close to guessing what was said. "Kristin you're such a scaredy cat", my cousin says.......
Grandma responds, " She's not afraid of cats. She has two at home." That's on a good day. Even though she cant seem to hear anything else somehow she hears every word my Grandaddy says. Now my grandaddy is a retired Chicago police officer. I love him to death. I promise there is probably very few to nothing that man does not know. He is a freaking genius! Ha has read every newspaper and knows every political or worldly fact known to man. He is what you would call a Renaissance Man; good at everything. He has a boat that sits at the harbor of Lake Michigan. In the summer, everyday, he goes and sits on his boat. He sits. And he sits. And he sits but it never leaves the harbor. only when we come do we go out on the water and even then some one else is driving. My cousin Carley or if using her full name....Elizabeth Ashley Carlotta Carley Peters Valentine Hill (Brazelton). I'm not sure how to spell that last one. Well Carley is a bit quirky but she means no harm...i don't think. A way to describe her would be split personalities. One minute she is on top of the world the other the worlds on top of her. But instead of sulking she takes a wrecking ball and gets the world out of her way along with a few innocent by standers. Sorry guys it wouldn't be right to give a story about her. My Aunt Linda is awesome. She is so goofy but wont let just anyone know it. She will be so serious, classy, and polite when others are looking but when they look away she is quick to make a face or bust out in a new dance. My mom says when she was little they would go to a friend of my grandma's house and my aunt would mush their little dog flat to the floor. All four legs straight out but when the adults came just sat there silently like a little angel. Her daughter is Lindsey or should i say Princess Lindsey. My cousin truly believes she is a princess which she honestly could be. She is also good at everything. Straight A student, Basketball team( and she is good), and models a bit all at the age of recently turned 16. Her brother on the other hand likes to should i say test the waters. We never know where that boy is but always somehow manages to show up Thanksgiving, a day before his birthday, asking for his money. Then we have my household. My mother...lets see...my mother is a bit off herself. We recently had an incident at 4 in the morning. It all started with a migraine and a frog on the wall. I saw the frog and my mother in attempts to protect me tell me to go to my room while she stays in hers with the frog. She is terrified of frogs. She goes down stairs and get a broom. I thought she would go and get roach spray,something she would do. A friend came and got the frog and my mother swears it was running a marathon around her room. My cats names are Chloe and Gremlin. Chloe is huge and i mean HUGE. But she is harmless. Gremlin, well her name says it all. I bought her outside of gymnastics out of a cardboard box. She was the only kitten who was wet because she decided to go swimming in the water bowl. We all have our weird elements but i wouldn't have it any other way. If we were normal we'd get bored. I love them so much even if they are a bit crazy...but then again so am i.

Excuses, excuses, or inevitable

"Destiny, Chance, Fate, Fortune- they're all just ways of claiming your successes without claiming your failures." - Gerrard of the weaterlight(magic card).
Maybe Fate is just this big theory made up just to make excuses for our mistakes; another way of copping out of responsibility. When i did my first blog i already had my veiws on fate. I believed that out there somewhere there was a plan or grand design pre made for every individual. "Whats meant to be will be" if you will. After learning more and discussing the topic with friends, teachers, and my mother I cant say my belief/view has changed but rather matured. I have found it hard to come to a decision on fate vs. freewill without bringing in the factor of religion. I personally believe in fate in a way that God has a plan for me. The bible tells me God gave me free will so i have a choice to choose him. After i chose him i have chosen the fate he has created for me. Outside of religion its like you choose the first step and out of that step comes your fate. Say if you were meant to invent something imprtant you may have said i dont want to be a scientist i want to be a dog walker and one day you decide there has to be a better way or cleaning after them. Then you decide to create something. Guess what?!? you just invented something. Or maybe you told your friend and instead you did not invent but they decided they would. Beccause you did not take the first step fate was changed. Maybe fate is like Santa Clause, its something we want to believe in. Everyone wants to believe they have some sort of purpose. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen-Hebrews 11.1 . No one really knows the real answer of fate vs. free will. I think its just in the belief of the individual.

Whats meant to be will be.....

Do we live our lives though Free Will or are we controlled by an inevitable thing called Fate? I for one, believe in fate. I believe that the world has a pre destined, already made up design. Whether the design is created by a benevolant God or a series of them, there is a design. When dealing with fate one comes to the conclusion that "my life is a lie". No matter what a person may do Fate is inevitable. There becomes questions of responsibility and falt lingering in ones head. We cannot do anything about our outcome so this must mean we cannot possibly be responsible for the events in our life. This thought is not true. We are given more responsibility,but instead of for the outcome we are given responsibility for the choices made because of the pre destined outcome.Fate also gives one a purpose because even if they cannot change their destiny, they can shape their destiny. What is meant to be will be. I could say our choices along the way create the outcome but very easily making the choice could be ones destiny. Being in the certain place at a certain time could be ones fate. There could be a series of events that is meant to happen in order to layout what is necessary for the initial grand destiny. Yes i believe in free will but when it is tampered with by fate the question eases away from whether or not we have free will more to the question of how much free will do we really have when dealing with a force greater than ourselves.

Ordinary or Legacy???

When the quetion of how i would want to live my life comes up i find it hard to choose. Would I rather live a long average life where only few know of my existence or live large die early but remain famous to all for 1,000 years?
I could argue that i would like to live for a long time because then i could experience all aspects of life. It wouldn't matter if only few knew me because i would be able to touch atleast the heart of one person.
As much as i could go on about that decision i would choose to die early but remain famous. Before any quick, thoughtless judgements are made i did not choose this lifestyle for the fame. I could touch the heart of a few people or make a difference in the world and be remembered for the good i have done or things i have contributed. Some can argue that fame wont matter if your dead but i disagree . If used correctly fame can be more like recognition. I may not live long but my memory will in the hearts of the world. If i could die and have made a significant difference I would be satisfied. Some of the greats lived a lifestyle this way for example: Tupac, Left Eye, Martin Luther King jr. , Marilyn Monroe, and even Jesus. To be along side of them; i would be honored

Captain Planet, Justice League, and The Little Mermaid!

Does anyone remember Captain Planet or The Justice League?
I used to sit around waiting til those shows would come on t.v. I memorized the theme song to Captain planet as he and the Planeteers saved the world from pollution and other earth damaging things. " With your powers combined I am Captain Planet". Also i can never forget the Justice League they are classics. The cool superhero team of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Red Arrow, Red Tornado, Black Lightning, Hawkgirl, Vixen, Geo-Force, Flash, and Aquaman kept me entertained for a long time. I wanted to grow up and be just like Wonder Woman.

When I was little i also remember really liking The Little Mermaid. I dont know why because im not the best swimmer nor do i like being under water but i thought she was so cool. Ariel was able to talk to the animals and switch from fish to human. Whenever i was in a pool i would always practise swimming like a mermaid. I know someone else has tried it so nobody can laugh. I would keep my legs together as if they were fins and try to swim. It never really worked out though.

The paradox that is High school, life, You

Don't you think it's a bit ironic when you spend your life finding out who your are, who your friends are, what you like, and even with no doubt what you hate then everything changes without you knowing. The things you were against you now accept even embrace and you wonder how this could have possibly happened when you thought your mind was set and you come to the realization...HIGH SCHOOL.
High school should be like a crucible. It melts away everything else til whats left is the core, what you're really made of. Instead it's a place where things get added on with layers and layers til you wouldn't know where to start to find the core. Rather than finding yourself you fight more trying not to backslide and become lost.
Can anybody really say "This is me" or are we blinded by the allusion of what people think we should be or what we changed into. The type of people you hate are now the ones who surround you. Most did not start out that way but now have morphed into what they think is a better person but when you think about it they used to talk about how they didn't understand the people they are now imitating. You find yourself doing things that are against your belief just because your friends are. High school is a non stop paradox.
I wouldn't know what i measure my life in because as far as I'm concerned who knows if its real. But i guess i would say i measure my life in my morals, goals, and the things that make me who I am.
"I tried to be who you wanted me to be, tried to say the things i knew you wanted to hear but when i opened my mouth i came to find that it's hard to find the words to say when they contradict with the thoughts in my mind."

" I think its probably a good thing to be considered stable but with a capacity for madness"- wayne coyne, The Flaming Lips

HaHa Alright i have to admit this one was a bit random but it does relate if you let me explain. Its not really music themed but it does explain me. I think its pretty much saying you can be as stable and normal as you want to be but there is still a possibility for just "being out there". I would say I'm normal but alot of people would probably disagree. I consider some of the stuff that's in my mind or even that comes out my mouth madness but who says thats a bad thing. I understand alot just things other people dont. Lol. I can be crazy( again in a Good way) but still stable.

Also of anyone wants to hear my theory about that here you go. Everyone is crazy. I say this because If you are sane you are normal stable if you will. But thats makes you in the state of sanity. Putting it together would say you are In-Sane...insane. What does insane mean...Crazy! See i make sense it just takes awhile sometimes. : )

Oh wait i came up with something. To be able to produce good music is stable more or less borderline talent. But to produce truly great music that is almost considered an artistic revolution that is madness.

I attempted to say exactly what you wanted to hear but i came to find its hard to find words to say when they contradict with the thoughts in my mind

" To be great is to be misunderstood"- Emerson

"At the end of the day lets just say im unique"- me

"Different eyes see different things. Different hearts beat on different strings. But there are times for you and me when all such things agree." -Rush

I believe its important for people to keep their individuality no matter what anyone else thinks because if you tried to be like everyone else you just wouldnt be you. So instead of trying to blend in i try to stand out. Not in a way as if to say Look At Me but in a way that just expresses who i am. People will always have something to say so you might as well give them something to talk about.

As for difference in opinion if there is a way of looking at something there will always be someone looking at it differently. The great thing about that is it can never get boring because if everyone has a new way of looking at it then you cant get bored with the same idea. You can just take a step back look at it their way and find they may have come across something bigger than you had imagined. I believe with all the different ways of thinking there does come a time when everything comes together in one accord without necessarily becoming the same but just as one. Also i just wouldn't be me if i didn't relate it to music so here you go. Life is just what i said alot of different people, thoughts, and experiences coming together as one. Music is different beats, harmonics, melodies, and thoughts coming together as one. Do you see a resemblance between the two? Thats right how i view it they're the same.

But that's just one way of looking at it.

Every Breathe i take, Every step i make, is at the beats break

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music" - Aldous Huxley

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness & of pain: of strength & freedom. The beauty of dissapiontment & never satisfied love.The cruel beauty of nature & everlasting beauty of monotony." - Benjamin Britten

I love these qoutes basically because they tell of the importance of music and the true beauty of a simple harmony. A single note can express a never ending series of thoughts and emotions that are all different depending on how or even who is listening. This relates to me because music is a big part of my life better yet music is my life. Whether its the smoothe stylings of a slow jam, the soul in R&B, the banging beat of a hot rap, wild atmosphere you get with rock, or even the secure love and memories of sunday morning with mom that you get from Gospel i just cant seem to choose. Theres music in my heart, soul, and every step i take. Without it i would probably be lost.
