Newspaper Inspired Piece

                For the newspaper inspired piece I chose five different sections, two being comic strips, another two being movie times from my local theatres, and the last a picture of two elderly men playing music together. All of these sections of newspaper have a meaning to me for one reason or another and some maybe even more than others.

                I chose the two comic strips from the well known comic series “Zits” because of two reasons, one being that this series almost always expresses my personality in one way or another- although sometimes hard to admit. Another reason is because my parents have accumulated various collections of this relatable comic over the years, and for my graduation present, plan to make them into a scrapbook for me, along with other personal things.

                The movie times were actually quite difficult to find, but I needed to have them for one real reason. That reason being because I love movies, more than any normal human being really should. Over the years, starting from about sixth grade until present day I have accumulated an abundance of at least 150 movies ranging from VHS to blue-ray disc. I love movies because they allow me to escape reality for at least a moment, just like a book, except I can snack much easier while watching movies.

                Last of all, the old men from the Fox TV show DADS playing the guitar are in some ways how I would like to picture myself at an older age. I don’t want to grow up to be some cranky old man, but one that can still enjoy playing music with friends, and enjoying life, while maybe being a little bit more responsible than I am now. Although you never do know how you will turn out in the future, but I’m shooting for awesome just like the man in the picture.
