Biography - My Pupper Asher

Note: Instead of talking about my first pet (RIP Coco). I will talk about my current pet. Asher.

One of the most energetic and fragile pups in the world.
He can run and play for days but if he eats grass he can get sick.
I didn't raise him like we raised his sister due to him having a previous owner that wasn't the breeder before me.
He's a very sassy boy that loves kisses from everyone.
He loves to roll in the mud when it's wet and likes to taunt the person that is going to give him a bath.
In the bathtub he likes to make things difficult for you because he lays down and sleeps when you're trying to clean him.
When he wakes up all dry he'll throw himself on the floor and roll around to get a little dirty again.
He's tough work but I'll love him unconditionally as long as we're together.

Week 14EC Biography

MUSICAL MEMORY.

I love listening to soundtracks since they help calm me down.
Not only do they calm me down but I use them to study.
I have over 15,000 tracks on my phone.
Composed by Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Brian Tyler, Alan Silvestri, James Horner, etc...
I can listen to them all day.
But I use Howard Shore's music from The Lord of the Rings to truly trigger memories as the score is one of the, if not the best, score ever composed.
I always get lost in the blend that Shore was able to pull off.
Just true and pure symphonatic harmony from his team.

Biographical Writing - W12 EC

Note: I wrote about this as social distancing has made me take all of my friendship to an internet communication medium for most of them. 

My virtual friend(s)

I met Tommy, Raj, and Eric on Twitter. I eventually grew close to them. Tommy and I talk sports. Raj and I talk about law school. Eric and I talk about movies and tv shows. Raj and Tommy are night owls that I can ALWAYS talk to. Eric on the other hand falls asleep at 10:30 pm every day. The friendship has evolved into close bond between us that I can confide in them for advice. That type of trust is only bestowed among one person in real life and that relationship started when we were just toddlers.

Week 12 Story Lab - Biography

I'm going to deviate from the provided prompts and write about the pandemic and how it has impacted my life. 

Well, COVID-19. I took 18 hours this semester so I yearned for a break from having to go to my in person classes every single day. Spring Break provided that break. Little did I know that Thursday, March 12th would be the last time I would see my friends in Norman until August at the earliest. 

On March 13th I got laid off from my part-time job. A few days later OU moved classes entirely online. It was a massive shakeup in just a few days. The repetitive system rug was pulled out from underneath me. And I could no longer afford to live in my apartment. 

I was able to terminate my lease early and I moved my stuff back. The following day I went to go file my 2019 taxes. My cousin is my tax preparer. Their offices are on the third floor. Elevator was out of service so I walked up and down the stairs. When I walked down I took a tumble and broke my foot. 

Perhaps one of the most disruptive months in my life as everything went against me. Broken foot? sure, I can live with that given we were already locked down as a result of social distancing. I can't live with my family, the cabin fever is real. 

I hope we're all practicing social distancing. But I think the OU football team has us all beat because they've social distanced themselves from greatness for 20 years now.

Childhood BFF, Biography - EC

Ashley...

When I first moved to El Paso from Oklahoma she was the first person in head start to befriend me. We became the best of friends. Did everything together. From sitting together in class, to playing together on the playground, and watching our parents watch sports while we played Uno.

Usually if you hit someone with a draw four card in Uno they will hate your guts. But for us it was a laugh. 

The friendship developed into a relationship soon after that.

While we are no longer dating we are still best friends that can go to each other at anytime. Some friendships only last a few years but ours has lasted decades and will likely last a lifetime because of our strong bond that we established as kids.
