I stumbled unpon this story when browsing through some greek gods after watching Hercules.
Echo is depicted as a person, a fairy or nymph actually, who lived in the woods and pranced around with other fairies throughout the forest. When one day she fell in love with a young hunter named Narcissus but could never aproach him.
Echo was punished by Hera because she distracted her while Zeus "mingled" with other mountain nymphs. Learning of the betrayal Hera cursed Echo to only speak the last few words that someone else say.
When Echo returned to the forest she finally met with Narcissus but could not talk to him.
When I hear this story I realize neverthing has a story and everything has a purpose. I liked this story in particular because even though Narcissus was handsom and young he ignored the influence of the other fairies and for some reason saw Echo. Its tragic because she died repeating Narcissus' last words.
The kind of perosn I am really likes the back stories of certain characters. The reason there is a back story is to explain why something is what it is. I think we should use this in our art (no matter what kind; writing, drawing, or acting) because characters are not just characters, they should come alive and have an imprint on the viewer/reader.

Fortune Telling Dreams
I am not sure if this truly exists but I feel like I have experienced these fortune telling dreams before. When I asked my friends they say sometimes they have the same feeling,when you wake up from a dream and then relive that dream when awake.
This kind of dreaming is somewhat of a Lucid dream but not exactly to the point where you can change the total outcome. Through my experience, I have been aware of what was going on in the scene of my dreams and about most of the conversations had, if there is any.
This is a website I have found that there were supposed claims of people who hav had dreamds of famous moments in times.

Subliminal Rewiring
When I was younger I loved animated movies such as Snow White, Shrek, and Anastasia.
I also loved watching TV shows such as Avatar the Last Air Bender, Edd, Ed, and Eddy, and Foster's home for imaginary friends. But as I grew older I began to notice all of the sbliminal messages all these cartoons and movies would give out, maybe that was one of the reasons parents did not want kids watching television too much.
To those who do not know what a subliminal message is, it is (by urband dictionary) a message sent without your Knowledge of It, usuaLLy picked up on by your subconscious mind. It is in our "programing" and wired into our brains the lessons that people teach us every day such as saying "bless you" after a sneeze or "thank you". The same is for the lessons on TV as strange as that may sound.
When rewatching these movies and shows there are many messages that I now see as a teenanger. Then I started thinking about since we learn and respond to what we are exposed to constantly, is the reasons how we act now depended on the subliminal messages sent when we were kids? Even though we were not aware of these messages when watching the animations as a child, we grow up to happen to know some information that we did not exactly learn in school. Subjects such as sex, death, love, and marriage. Usually these subjects are hard for adults to explain to kids but subconsciencly kids have the basic idea down.
Scenes such as the bedroom scene in Shrek, and the three Kanker sisters in Edd, Ed, and Eddy, and the Koh spirit in Avatar.
Dinsey was a pervert but also can be seen as a genius along with other companies (please do not sue).
Subliminal messages do not have to be perverted, try not to get that idea stuck in your mind. The messages can be of war, death, and possibly a way to find happiness.
But honestly with all the messages I have talked about and talking down the movies and shows I honestly love those movies, messages or not. With out the lessons I probably would have been the person I am today. Because I love movies I would say I am the childish type who would stay infront of the screen for hours watching power rangers.

Not Knowing
Free post
I read an article about the artist for the Calvin and Hobbs comic strips, Bill Watterson. He mentioned that he was doing the comics as a daily life review but added in a character Hobbs, the stuffed tiger doll, for another character who was a friend who always stood beside him.
When artists look at other's works sometimes we have the thought "How in the world do they think of this stuff?"
When Watterson is asked this question his reply is he takes it from things he experiences and watches currently and traumatic moments. Not only situations he was put in but ones he has heard about and seen.
Sometimes Watterson says he cannot think of anything and is stuck on one project for days.
He keeps a book handy with him to write down any inspirational scenes or sayings that would help for later topics. Watterson says his technique most of the time was to sit down at his desk, pencil in hand, and stare at the paper until an idea comes to him.
I find when I want to draw but cannot find an idea a very difficult and annoying situation so reading that professionals also have problems with that comforts me. Hopefully it comforts others too.

LotR Truth?
As a fan of the movie trilogy Lord of the Rings I decided to think about the "history" and facts behind the movies and books.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krqmf5oBDXk
This is the link to the video I was looking at to make me think about this subject.
The story it self was not the only thing that made me attracted to this video. What I saw in the video and study was that story took place in middle earth, fiction, and yet had so many references to real life and current times, as strange as it may seem.
Everything we think of is based off of things we seen, heard, and experienced. Through history we can see many people are influenced by others and our surroundings. The "ring" is probably representing the personality of addiction, influence, and change.
The mixing of the history and mythology always pulled me because it was something that I always thought was a story but since it already happened it is somewhat true.
There is a lesson in the back story of greed and obsession over things that bring about negative things. People are changed through these influences.
When it comes to my art I would like to show more of a human personality.
When the ring comes into the world it spreads and leads a trail which I see us having the same situation in our world. Even in a place called the "Shire" in the books, a peaceful and calm place is still influenced.
But I also like how in this story there is the character who is "not the hero type". I feel attracted to this character because he gives off a vibe as if he was a real person.
Subconsciously people do not think they are as special as a valiant hero in stories. The connections to history, the realism in personality and the placement was always something I liked in these books and in some art.

Free Time slow Time
I found that when I was younger I saw the world in a different perspective. I watched some sort of history channel show and they spoke about how the brain can see things in slow motion before recording and recording what has actually gone by. I start thinking what if everything in the world is actually going at a faster rate than we see it as?
The reason I brought this up is because I started thinking if people had the ability to move slower or faster as they pleased in response to their brain's functions how would we develop in our time with our art? Personally I think that art needs time to develop and have a process of thought.
Many have noticed and said before that when your are having fun you tend to lose track of the time and it seems to be moving faster than usual. As a kid you think time moves fast but subconsciously we think we will be like that silly small little toddler forever. But as we grow older we think there is never enough time for all the things we have to do.
Is it because we have so much more to do when we are older we think time is not enough? or is it like the show said and we are actually processing things faster than we did before.Don't you think time moves slower when you were a kid. But then suddenly time just switches and skips your life to this moment where you are reading this post?
I remember as I kept watching this show they started talking about if you start pointing things out to others, those people are starting to notice their actions.
For example (if this does not lose its touch over text) you start to notice the way you breathe, eventually you want to take a deep breath to satisfy your lungs.
You feel how your cloths are laid on top of your skin, if you move it rubs against your back and shoulders.
Hopefully that worked, if it didn't try it on a friend, making sure they keep eye contact, just to keep focus.
I posted and wrote about this just because I feel like when learning about the brain and the way we think determines how our imagination works as well. Because technically our imagination is not our own imagination, it is a memory combustion of several moments you experienced or heard about and all smushed together.
