About Me and Some of My Hobbies

-
Painting/Modeling  

One hobby of mine that I put a lot of time 
and dedication in is modeling/painting. 
The bulk of the work I do is mainly Warhammer 40k
models. My brother was the person that got me 
into the hobby at first. At the start I just bought
the boxes of models and I put a few together
but I was not really into it that much. I started
to paint and customize the models next and
I really got to be creative for it and it made 
me so much more motivated to do it. 
Many days I will just listen to music and
paint for some time.
Dungeons and Dragons

I enjoy being a creative and
imaginative person. One way I
 get to do this is through
playing DnD. This was another
 hobby that I did not really enjoy at
 first but it eventually grew on me.
After I got a feel for the game and
 the people I really enjoyed playing
the game. I usually play with my brother,
 roommate, and a couple other friends.  Every time
 I play it is a very fun time. This is now something
 I look forward to doing every week.
H.P. Lovecraft 
Something that I am extremely interested in is
cosmic horror and H.P. Lovecraft. I like reading 
his works and I like anything lovecraftian as well.
This impacts a lot of my interests like painting
for example, my paint scheme for my models
is lovecraftian. I get cards that that relate to the 
themeof monsters from works of H.P. Lovecraft.
One of my favorite stories from him is the
Dunwich Horror.

Distant Reading

Distant reading is taking a large body of text or database and looking at it as a whole and finding patterns within the writing. I find distant reading to be more interesting than close reading and it reveals a lot of information. This information would be very difficult to find out without the use of the Voyant tool. Voyant can be used for a variety of data including articles, lyrics, and books for example. I have used Voyant before once for the book Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft and I found the data to be very helpful and revealing as well. This time however I am doing a distant reading of my own blog so it will be a little weird doing a distant reading on my own writing. The first thing that I look at after entering in the data I am performing the distant reading on is the word cloud as it tends to be the thing that pops out the most. A word cloud is a great visualization as it very easy to understand. From this, I can tell that my most used words are data and time. T...

The Thin Blue Line is a true-crime documentary where an innocent man was falsely accused and convicted for the murder of a police officer. The innocent man was Randall Adams. David Harris was the 16-year-old boy who got Randall Adams involved in the murder of the policeman. Randall Adams was out of gas and was walking to a gas station when David Harris offered him a ride in a stolen car. David Harris was then pulled over by a police officer without thinking David Harris rolled down the window and shot the officer dead. The partner of the policeman was believed to still be in the car at the time of the first shot. David Harris had most of his charges for multiple crimes lifted because of his young age. The filmmaker of this documentary makes use of a lot of words used as images. Most of these words are represented in newspaper clippings. When Randall Adams was interviewed he was wearing white which is a subtle way showed that he was innocent. David Harris was ...
