Indian Epics Blog

FINISHING MOVE!!! (source) Howdy everyone. It is I, Dubbz of the Nitro, here again with another blog post. This neat little gif is from a show called Gurren Lagann, directed by one of my favorite directors in animation, Hiroyuki Imaishi. Everything he makes is pretty much the same, but his style is different enough from everyone else that he can get away with it because it fits into its' own niche.  The reason I chose this picture is because the main motif of the show is about continual improvement and getting a little better every day until you are able to reach a lofty goal. I think that consistency and determination is very important, and relevant to today's blog post! I usually try to stay a week ahead in this class so I can have a buffer in case the workload of my other classes suddenly increases, which is what has happened this week. I looked at my gradebook and I've got a little over half of the points, but I'd like to finish this class early s...

Shri-shri-shrimpidee-doo (source) Howdy again friends, it's your old pal NitroDubbz back with some reflection on my (and your) comments and feedback. I chose this picture for a couple of reasons. Mostly because I like shrimp and crawdads. Nothing beats a nice crawdad with some butter. If you've never had them before I recommend trying crawdads with some steamed red potatoes and and corn on the cob and coarse salt. My mouth is watering now just thinking about those ugly little red mini-lobsters. Anyways as for my comment feedback. I'll admit sometimes I don't give as good of feedback as I could. The worst feedback I give is whenever I enjoy a story a lot. If I enjoy a story, it's difficult for me to find any flaws to point out, so I usually just give praise. But praise doesn't do anything to help a writer improve, it can be a good moral booster, but ultimately constructive criticism is what allows us to grow. So if I could say one area I need to i...

How excited I am when I get to work on Indian Epics homework (source) Howdy folks! NitroDubbz here today with some reflection and introspection. I like my blog and website layout. They're very simple, but I like minimalism and simplicity. You should see my room, I have like three things in it. My reading notes help me quite a bit with my writing, not because I revisit them, but because the act of note-taking forces me to organize my thoughts and stop to process over the information I've read. So far my favorite story has been the Ramayana. I thoroughly enjoyed it throughout. The Mahabharata was a total bore-fest for the first half. At least I thought it was because it was very confusing having so many characters introduced so quickly. (source) This is my favorite image so far. It's a screenshot of the character Woods from Call of Duty Black Ops, which is one of my favorite games. I was basically picturing Alex from the Art Girl Rescue saga as Woods the ...
