JAWS

When I was young I had the unfortunate misfortune of seeing the movie JAWS. It scarred me for life. Ever since, I’ve been afraid of Great White Sharks. But even as a kid I decided I didn’t want to tolerate my fear, I wanted to overcome it. That’s why when I was in elementary school when I would go to the library I would look up as many books on sharks as I could. I figured that if I understood more about great whites I would be less afraid of them. I was wrong. I found out facts like: Great Whites are the largest predatory shark – reaching a length of more than 20 ft. and a weight of 7,000 lbs, it’s the only shark that regularly attacks and eats warm-blooded animals, and adults have broad, serrated teeth up to 3 inches long for slicing chunks out of large-bodied, thick-skinned prey. For some reason, that did not help me overcome my fear.

Then when I was 8 my dad took me to Universal Studios which at the time I did not know was connected to the movie JAWS. I was having a good time wandering around, looking at the rides, eating cotton candy… Then out of nowhere some guy dressed up as Woody the Woodpecker came up to me and rubbed the top of my head really fast and said, “How you doin’ kiddo?” I was thinking, “Not so great after the whiplash you just gave me…” Apparently I was spoiled by Sesame Street and just assumed big birds give hugs not head trauma.

After my run-in with Woody the Woodpecker a tram pulled up and my dad asked if I wanted to get on it. I said yes and we soon found our seats on the moving car. The tour guide picked up a mike and said, “Good evening ladies and gentleman. Today we’re going to see a lot of exciting things! We’re going to see the set of The Truman Show, we’re going to see Norman Bates’ house, we’re going to visit King Kong, and we’re going to see JAWS. I had a miniature panic attack after those last words were uttered. I turned to my dad and started shaking his arm telling him fervently we needed to get off the ride. “The ride can’t stop it’s on a track,” he said sympathetically. At that point I was debating jumping off the moving car. Instead I put my hands over my ears, ducked my head, and shut my eyes. It was a standard safety position. My dad tried to make me look at things during the ride. “Hey look there’s Norman Bates’ house!” “I don’t care,” I replied. “Hey look there’s King Kong!” “Tell the monkey I said hi, I don’t care,” I replied again. I even kept my head down after we passed the JAWS portion of the ride. I didn’t trust it. That shark’s known for jumping out unexpectedly.

After my traumatic experience with the tram ride, I decided that maybe reading the book would help me overcome my fear –or at least help me figure out which parts to look away at. I was 13 at the time and I figured I was mature enough to handle it. I was wrong. Very very wrong. As it turns out the movie JAWS is rated PG, but the book JAWS is rated R. The book is more graphic than the movie…a Movie!

When I was 18 I then decided it was time to watch the film. I had my friend Maggie over to help tell me which parts to look away at since she had seen the film before. She missed a few…But I did manage to watch about 60% of the movie while successfully avoiding most of the frightening scenes involving the shark popping out of the water and that cage scene at the end.

Then I came up with a brilliant idea to overcome my fear of sharks. I decided the only way to stop being afraid of great whites was to become one with the shark. I thusly proceeded to buy the XBOX game JAWS Unleashed. I was nervous playing the shark at first, but then quickly started to empathize with this humble man-eating creature. You don’t know how much sharks have to go through. I remember one level I had to swim into a bay I then couldn’t escape from. I was exploring the area when I came across a sunken submarine (I didn’t do it…). Beside the ship were several large torpedoes I could move around. Then out of nowhere a boat pulled up above me and 8 divers jumped into the water and started shooting me with harpoon machine guns. I died… several times. Then I finally figured out how to maneuver around them. But I was lost and I didn’t know what to do in the game. I don’t know how the shark would have figured it all out on his own –unless he was one of those sharks from Deep Blue Sea that was enlarged so its rain would be a bigger size and he was then able to figure the level out. I had to consult Google. I found out I was suppose to carry a torpedo in my mouth over to a tower. The tower had 4 legs it was on and I had o torpedo each one until the tower fell. At the top of the tower was a harpoon machine gun that fired relentlessly. I died many times… Then after I finally defeated the evil tower I looked over and realized there was another one on the other side of the bay. Dangz it… After that tower was destroyed I was again confused on what to do. After re-consulting Google I found an underwater grate I had to headbutt. I then went through a vent to a power generator where I had to launch more torpedoes to break it so a draw bridge could go down so I could go back out into the bay. Once there, a Titanic- sized ship came out and started harpooning me into oblivion. I think rocket launchers may also have been involved. I then had to torpedo the boat until it sank. It’s not easy being a shark.

At age 19 I decided I was finally ready to revisit the tram ride at Universal Studios. I was nervous, but ready to face my fear. When we finally reached the JAWS portion of the ride I braced myself. Suddenly the shark jumped out and leapt like air jaws up and down like a stone being tossed across the surface of a pond. It was hilarious. Some people on the ride kept saying how it was so much more frightening than before. Hilarious. And that is how I overcame my fear of the tram ride at Universal Studios. Not great whites though… baby steps. Right now I just embrace my fear and make fun of myself for it… as do many of my friends. I guess sometimes the best way to get over your fear is to accept it and not let it define you.

@TheTwelve It's an interesting and amusing show - but not for the reasons they intended it to be.

Jessica88music Bridal Plasty is officially the stupidest show humankind has ever conceived of - and that includes Laguna Beach.

Thoughts for the day march 16th

Remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives, nor lives any other than this which he now loses. — Marcus Aurelius

Today was Toastmasters and i was actually hoping to get called up for one table topic question: What movie has made you cry and why?

Here's what I would have said:

Not that many movies have that great of an emotional impact to make a person cry. Movies that try to make a person cry go out of their way to do it and then they force it too much and you don't. I almost cried during Avatar when their home as being destroyed and the blue Avatar princess was crying over her father who was on the ground dying. It was intense scene and I really felt caught up in he moment, despite the fact that it was computer animated and on a giant theater screen in a packed room. But now when i watch the scene it's initial impact has faded and I don't feel as near to tears as I did when I first saw it.

The movies that are guaranteed to make me cry are usually Disney. The nostalgia mixed with moments in the movies that are either extremely joyful or tragic bring me to the brink. Like that moment when Bambi was running through the snow in the woods crying out for his mother and he suddenly runs into his father who tells him his mother is dead and Bambi just bows his head and crys a single tear. Who doesn't want to weap for his loss?

But the sadest movie I have ever cried to is the movie Fluke. It's ineresting because Roger who answered the TableTopic question mentioned that Lassie was the movie that always made him cry. The movie Fluke is about a DOG as well, but the brown lab is actually a man who was reincarnated into the body of a dog. Although that just sounds strange, as the story goes on the dog Fluke, keeps having visions of his wife and son and fears that they are in danger. He then travels hundreds of miles to find them and finally manages too. The wife and son take Fluke in as a pet and he struggles to go out of his way to show them who he really is. At the end of the movie, Fluke runs away because of a conflict and the son goes looking for him in the freezing snow. The son goes to his father's grave and Fluke shows up there and keeps him warm. The mom eventualy figures out where the son is and shows up to the cemetary. She immidiately rushes over to the son and gets him into the car with the heater on high and wraps him in blankets. The son doesn't say much, he just says,"Fluke said he has to go. He wants us to move on." The wife then says "Ok honey" thinking he mst be delirious. She then goes back to the grave to get Fluke. When se calls to the dog, he just stands up and turns to the grave. He starts digging in the snow at the foot of the tombstone and uncovers the words: "Here lies Tom Henderson. To my wife and son: I will always love you." Fluke then turns to the wife and stares for a moment, before turning and walking away out of the cemetary. When the wife finally realizes who he was you can't help but cry with her.

Time and Technology

“If we didn’t have electricity, we’d all be watching T.V. by candlelight”. This quote by George Gobel shows how far we’ve come in advancing technology as well as our dependence on it. There’s suppose to be a new cell-phone coming out that you can wave over a bill or check and it immediately pays it by connecting to your bank account. I also hear word that the iPhone 2 is coming out sometime. With all of this new technology popping up and changing so quickly, you have to wonder: How are the young whipper snappers on this plant being introduced to this technology and how is it impacting their lives. Some people would argue that exposure to technology is making kids more detached and distracted from reality. Others would argue that it’s better adapting them for the modern world. I have come to believe from my experiences growing up with technology that whether technology has a positive or negative impact on a kid’s life depends on the way they are introduced to it and the way they are allowed to use it.

One of my first introductions to technology was video games. Video games today end to be viewed in a negative light when associated with kids. But I remember my first interactions with video games findly. Whenever my grandmother would pick my sisters and me up after school we would go to her house and play Mario Brothers on the Nintendo. I also remember listening fondly to the Macarena on the cassette tape player and watching movies like Bambi on VHS tapes. It was a simpler time in those days. The first electronic device I ever owned was called a Gigapet. It was a little virtual pet you carried around until you got tired of feeding it and lost it one day. Let’s just say it’s a good thing kids aren’t put in charge of taking care of real animals. Although I was young when I was introduced to all of these forms of technology, I did not have an addictive tendency towards them and actually remember them with a sense of nostalgia.

Then times changed and suddenly CDs were the new thing. I began my CD collection around the age of 13 in 2001. DVDs were also coming out around that time and I started watching movies and listening to music much more frequentl. And DVDs CDs were easier to use than tapes because you didn’t have to Fast Forward or worry about any static or grainy quality. DVDs made movies seem more realistic. It’s harder to separate yourself from the screen when the resolution quality is so good.
Then around the age of 15 I made an important discovery. There was this thing called the internet. Unfortunately I couldn’t explore very much of it because my mom had the parental controls set to infant. Although I wasn’t really interested in the internet itself at the time, I did enjoy constantly IMing my friends on AOL, which was texting in its earliest stage. I only used the internet to get information for research projects. Then these things called social networks popped up and now I can send direct messages back and forth to multiple friends while updating my status and watching Youtube videos. Multitasking has never been easier. With all these things going on there seems to be a pattern forming where you become more connected to the people who are far away and less connected to the people who are nearby.

When I wasn’t using the computer to IM or do research, I was using it to play a little game called SIMS. I have been SIM-sober for 3 ears. I was formerly a SIMaholic addicted to SIMS 1 and 2 and all of their subsequent expansion packs. I also became addicted to games like Halo and Grand Theft Auto that had recently come out on the new XBOX. Other games I had played like Oregon Trail and Pin Ball were swiftly left in the dust. These new games had vivid graphics and placed you directly in the driver’s seat with full control of what was going on in the game. It demanded your attention. Then there was my Gameboy, which was one of the earliest forms of hand-held gaming devices. It was even more addicting than the newer games. I guess it’s harder to walk away from something you can carry around with you.

When I was in high school I was given another hand-held device. It was called a cell phone. I didn’t like to use it though and I seldom turned it on. Friends thought I was strange because of this and my mom would complain that I didn’t have my phone on enough. After I graduated high school, I started keeping my phone on more an even attempted texting. One day I got a call from my mom telling me that my friend Chelsie’s mom had been in a car accident. Chelsie was in high school at the time, and I wasn’t there so I had no way of reaching her other than her cell, which wasn’t on. I then texted my sister who had a class next to her’s. My sister was able to find Chelsie and tell her what happened so she could call her mom.

So which technologies are harmful and which ones are beneficial? It seems like the technologies that tend to be more harmful are the ones that seem more convenient. The more convenient a device is, the less thought that goes into the action to use it, the more it becomes a habit. If you become dependent on technology, your life is then inconvenienced when you suddenly have to live without it.

To avoid this I think parents give timed play-time on video games and other things so kids don’t overuse them. Parents should make sure their kids aren’t neglecting their responsibilities, the people around them, or themselves. Parents should also explain when it is not appropriate to use certain devices. That way kids remember to use these powers for good and not to send texts to their friends during class or like one boy I saw in college do – watch Surfing videos on a laptop during biology. Technology can be used as a way of bringing us closer. My 80 year old Grandfather just got his first Facebook page and it was fun seeing him try to figure out how to update his status. But when this technology is misused it can distract us from life. I think it’s important that when we use technology we remember what really matters are the people we keep ourselves connected to on the screen and off it.
