So I woke up from a bad dream at like 5:40 last night (and by last night I mean Friday.) And this is just kind of what I started thinking about.
So I had a dream that I was trying to figure out what movie characters I was like and for some reason the only character I could think of was Pennywise the Clown from It... which I am not in the least bit like thank god. I maybe also thought Owen Wilson... who is not an actual movie character... but I guess I'm more like him than Pennywise so that makes sense.
Anyway then I woke up cause I was getting freaked out and I realized it was a dream... and then I didn't want to get back to sleep because I remembered Pennywise the Clown was a thing. And its weird that that caused me to stay up late... I'm not scared of clowns, I saw It in the daytime and it wasn't really that scary. The only part that really freaked me out was with the blood in the bathroom with the balloon. That and the writing "IT" on the wall are the only things that I really remember and they were scary... but not the scariest thing I've ever seen in a movie.
I also think all in all... It is a pretty bad movie. It would be wayyyy scarier if Pennywise wasn't a monster. If he were a real person that would really be creepy... but he's a monster, so he doesn't scare me that much. He can die by a silver bullet... and I don't have any silver bullet's lying around... but I don't think that its scary when a monster's weakness is a silver bullet and that's the huge reveal. We get it, monsters don't like Silver... but really? It just isn't that cool anymore
And now I remember why that popped into my head. I started watching Supernatural and they have a gun that I assume has Silver Bullets... but I think thats still cool because they don't really explain that its silver bullets in there at all. Its just kind of like "Ohhh he has a gun for monster fighting. Must be silver bullets. They don't do a whole episode explaining that its silver bullets that kill monsters. They used a good chunk of time to explain that thats how to kill Pennywise.
Anyway then I went on Snapchat and watched some snaps... and then that got me thinking of Chatroulette and how I used to try to see my friends on chat roulette. I remember my friend Alyssa talked to Chris Brown on Chatroulette... this was after he beat up Rihanna, so we didn't really like him... but she said he was a nice guy on Chatroulette and it checked out. It wasn't a fake... I don't see why anyone would impersonate Chris Brown... lol.
So then I remembered the Piano Chat Improv guy. Remember him? He was really funny and just came up with songs on the spot about whatever people were doing. I wondered what happened to him. I assumed he quit his job right after becoming a viral sensation and then Chatroulette stopped being cool and he was probably done.
It bothered me so much to think of this man, that I decided to google him.... so according to Wikipedia he went by the name of Merton and he was hired by T- Mobile to do a live musical improv show and he did that for quite a few years after his first video in 2010. He went on hiatus in 2014 and no one has heard of him since then.
And then I thought Musical improv is super impressive... but its also probably my least favorite type of improv. Its so cool that people can just make up songs on the spot like that and people like Wayne Brady do it really well and its really funny and different... but idk. I'm not a huge fan of audiences participating on stage... most audience members aren't that funny and other than suggestions... meh.
And then I remembered a kid in 6th grade that made up a song right on the spot and he was good at it and I could see him doing musical improv. It was when we had to write a song with something from the lesson in the lyrics... which you could make up yourself or do a song that already existed.
Then I was like "does that really work to help you remember stuff?" And no. Don't think it does. Most of the time the lyrics don't flow that well when you're trying to incorporate history or science or something in them. And usually while performing, it'd be too tough to actually sing it so we would just kind of read off the facts and... that was it. I remember we did Sweet Home Mesopotamia... I don't remember much about that other than Mesopotamia is a place... or was a place maybe.
The one I kind of remember better is when my friend Tori and I did a science song about Porifera to the tune of the Mhnau Mhnau song from the muppets. That ones easy to remember A) because that flows way better than anything else and also Tori actually does music so she could make a song that made sense and flowed with a beat and stuff. So I remember that they are sponges and they have pores called holes.
Then my dog woke me up and I started my day... lol.
Byeee!
