Final story

Stu Daly

         It all started one hot day in June, I was sitting in my room minding my own business when I heard someone knock at my door so I went up to see who it was not thinking much about it. When I got to the door I opened it up and Wiz Khalifa was standing there greeting me with a smile. I was shocked to say the least because wiz was by far my favorite rapper and someone who I have followed and listened to for a while now. I immediately invited him in and he accepted I asked him why he was there and he said because I know you’re a big fan and I’m just trying to chill. I had to tell all of my friends about this so me and wiz rolled up to Dominic’s house to pick him up on the way I called him and said you have no idea who I’m bringing to come pick you up right now. When we got there me and wiz walked up to the door and surprised Dominic, he was completely shocked just as I was and had a big smile on his face. Wiz asked him if he wanted to roll with us and of course he said yes. Next we went to pick up my friend nick. He was just as big of a fan of Wiz as me and Dominic were so we knew he would be happy too. We got to his house and did the same thing when we picked up Dominic. Soon all three of us were rolling around with our idol. We decided to hit the mall with him because we knew it would be a big thing if we were walking around with him. We got to the mall we were all feeling really good and excited. As soon as we stepped into the mall people were all around us asking for autographs and pictures so we accepted and did all that. Pretty soon we had to have security guards around us at all times because we were getting mobbed. We shopped around for a while, we would walk into a store wiz would ask us if we wanted something and he’d buy it for us. It was like we had all died and gone to heaven. After the mall we decided to hop on a plane and head to Los Angeles where wiz said he had some things planned for us. So we dropped all our plans for the next week and went on vacation. When we arrived in California we had a limo pick us up and bring us to the studio where wiz recorded. When we got there we met Big Sean Mac Miller and the rest of Taylor gang. We all chilled hung out and talked about everyday things for a while, it seemed like we had been part of the group for a while. At night they took us out to all the hottest places to party and have fun. We didn’t get any sleep but we didn’t care. We were living our lives like a rock star which is everything we had ever dreamed of. Everything was free and there was plenty of it to go around. We would drive around in the nicest cars and not have to wait in line for anything. Other than the lifestyle that we were living we had so much fun just hanging out with Mac Wiz and the rest of Taylor gang, they made us feel like family. After hanging out with them for about a week they decided that since we were so much fun they were going to allow us to be a part of Taylor gang and live this lifestyle all the time. Dominic Nick and I all looked at each other and didn’t even have to think this was exactly what we wanted to we quickly said yes. They congratulated us with handshakes and also wiz took out a box with three new diamond chains in it which meant we were a part of the group. We had finally made it and we didn’t even have to do anything, this lifestyle was just given to us after all that had happened I suddenly started hearing a constant beeping noise in my head. I asked Dominic or nick if they heard it too but they said they didn’t. I thought I was losing my mind when I realized that familiar sound. It was my alarm clock going off. It was time for me to go to school and everything that had just happened was all a dream. We were stuck back in our normal lives doing everyday normal things. It was a great dream and I know one day that it will come true maybe not exactly like that but we will be living like rock stars one day.

Sci Fi Story

Stu Daly

        It started off just as any other day had in the summer of 2011 which usually consisted of waking up around noon lying in bed watching sports center for an hour then decide to get up and find something to do. I call my best friend nick Dolan to see what he’s doing; we usually would go over to his house because there is more to do there. So then I call my other friend Dominic and tell him I’m going to pick him up on my way to Dolans so he better be ready. Once we all get to Dolans we do the usual and just all chill together but today is different, very different. We start out playing some call of duty like usual but then we get bored after a while and decide to go out for a walk. It was just starting to get dark around this time so it was the perfect time to go. We got some sweatshirts on and started walking. We had no plans or any idea where to go but we just felt like walking so we were going to go wherever our legs took us. We start walking down a major road not seeing much to do so we split off into a neighborhood. We start to walk through a normal suburban neighborhood while it’s getting dark. We had been walking for a while and were starting to get tired so we saw a park up ahead that we were going to rest at for a while. We get up to the park and sit down and start talking about the weird things we usually talk about. We sat there for about 20 minutes so it was pretty dark at this time but we didn’t want to head home quite yet because we were still having fun and it was better than playing video games.

So we set off on an adventure that changed our lives. We started to walk around the outside of the park and soon found a small path into the woods that we decided to take. I was in the lead with Dolan and Dominic right behind me. We began to get deeper and deeper into the woods where none of us had ever been before. Before long we can upon this awkward looking opening in the middle of the forest. We all stopped and looked at each other and decided to explore. We all look around for a while with just the light of our phones. All of a sudden I come upon this weird looking vault that looks buried in the ground and quickly tell Dominic and Dolan to come check it out. We all stood above the vault for about 5 minutes deciding what to do. After thinking about it we all decided that were going to open it up and see what’s inside so we all turn the handle and open it with all our strength. Once we get it open we look in and see nothing but a dark hole so we all stop again and wonder if we should continue. By this time I was eager to see what was in there so I was ready to go. I took the lead and started walking into the vault with little light. We walked a while into the vault when we heard to door slam behind us. We all started to panic and freak out but I calmed them down assuring them we would be able to get out so we kept going deeper into the vault. We got to what looked like the end of the long dark hallway and we all stopped. We stood there not knowing what to do when suddenly the ground fell from beneath us and we fell down into this machine. The lid closed and something happened that I wasn’t able to explain but as soon as it happened it was over and the lid opened again. We all looked at each other with a puzzled looks on our faces. We didn’t feel any different or look any different but we were still afraid of the vault being locked so we got out of this machine and went back to the opening. The door was closed but there was a handle on the inside that let us all out. When we got outside everything looked the same way it had when we went in so we didn’t think much of it. It was getting pretty late so we all decided we’d go back to Dolans to sleep. We start to walk out of the park and get closer to some main roads and begin to realize that there are no cars on the road. We look at our phones and it was still only 11:30 at night on a Saturday so there should have been cars on the road. We began to worry that something had happened. We got back to Dolans and realized that no one was at his house, now we really started to worry. So we get in my car and drive to my house, we still didn’t see a car on the road. When we got to my house we all went in and no one was there. We took out our phones and tried to call everyone we knew but no one would answer. At this point we thought there is no way we could be the only ones around where is everyone? So we continued to drive around looking for people but there was no one to be found. It looked like everyone had just disappeared and left us the world just how it was. We all looked at each other and thought could this really be happening? We have the whole world to ourselves? It was sort of a bitter sweet moment because we had lost all our family and our loved ones but we still had each other and the world to ourselves. We started planning out some of the first things that we were going to do. We didn’t need money or anything anymore everything in the world now belonged to us. The first thing we wanted to do was get the fastest cars as we could and joy ride them around so we took my car to the dealership and got in some brand new corvettes. Next we wanted to get out of Minnesota and go somewhere warmer but we couldn’t fly because none of us knew how to fly a plane so we had to drive. We hit the road stopping anywhere we wanted; it was one of the greatest feelings in the world. We decided our destination would be California, because it wasn’t as far as Florida and it was still a fun place to be, plus we could stop by Las Vegas on the way. We would drive for most of the day and sleep wherever we wanted at night we usually tried to find the nicest hotel or house to sleep in. Everything in the stores was ours so we had unlimited food and anything else we needed. We were having the times of our lives living in this party world, the world was our playground and we were like little kids eager to get out and play.

We finally arrived in Las Vegas it was about 10 o’clock pm and all the lights were still on. I had to idea of getting crotch rockets to drive around the city. It was faster than cars and way more fun. All the guys agreed with me instantly so we searched for some fast motorcycles. After that we explored around the whole city of Vegas it, I saw some things that I will never forget. we were having a great time but we all started to miss our families, we knew that it was just us now so we had to be a close family so we had a toast to sticking together forever no matter what to make sure that we all lived the best life possible now that it was just us three left. We also wanted to search for more people to save the earth and the human race. But we were going to have fun while we did it so we continued to trash Las Vegas and after that night we kept living our lives happy with no regrets.

feedback on creative writing

I thought this class was very informational and I learned a lot. I'm not much of a writer so I was kind of nervous when I saw this class on my schedule but when the class got started I realized I would be just fine. This class gave me another look on writing by doing the daily journals. I wasn't used to writing everyday but I began to enjoy it.

The one thing that I disliked about the class is that it got repetitive, we would have the same schedule and do the same thing almost everyday, if we mixed up the schedule of the class I think it would be a lot more interesting. Also I think we spent too much time on the poetry unit, I felt like I was taking just a poetry class for over half the quarter. Other than that I enjoyed the writing we did in this class and I learned a lot from it

daily journal

If I had to open a restaurant it would be a lot like McDonald's because they seem to do pretty well. It would be a fast food restaurant with a lot of different kinds of food to eat. There would be anything you want and the service would be really fast. I think I would call it McDaly's because that's the best thing I could think of. There would be more of them than McDonald's and it would take over the whole fast food industry. People would love to go to McDaly's to get there favorite foods to eat. Every one of the stores would be open 24/7 for the night owls. The food would always be fresh and Delicious to keep people coming back for more. It would be designed with the future in mind with computerized ordering systems and super power ovens stoves and friers. It would be the best restaurant ever. The end

Over spring break I went to Florida and played a lot of baseball. we had at least 2 practices or 2 games everyday so my body got really sore. It felt like we played baseball every second of everyday but it was fun to be with my team and have good times. We stayed in St. Petersburg Florida at a nice hotel on the beach called the dolphin beach resort. Even though we didn't spend much time at the hotel it was a nice place to stay. On Tuesday the second day we were there we had a practice in the morning then went to a twins spring training game against the pirates which was a fun time. We would eat breakfast and dinner everyday at eckerd college which was right down the street from our hotel so we got a lot of good food for cheap. Overall the trip was really fun and let our team bond in a lot of ways. Being a senior it was my last trip to Florida and i definitely made the most of it. 

idea for science fiction story

My story is going to be based off me and my friends being stuck in a time capsule for 100 years and when we get out the world is the same way as we remember it but there is no one on the planet. we have the whole world to do whatever we want with and have fun.

One day I went to buy a new car. as I pulled into the dealership with my old boring car I set my eyes on this very special and unique automobile it was a shoe on wheels. I had never seen anything like this before so I had to have it. I went up to the first car sales person I saw and demanded a test drive. Instantly when I got in the shoe/car I fell in love with it. it was unlike anything I had ever been in control of before. As we took it out for a test drive we got many weird looks and I kind of like the attention it brought to me. It wasn't very fast and it didn't have great handling but I didn't care this was the car for me. When we got back to the dealership I signed the papers and it was mine. I spent the rest of that day going and picking up my friends cruising through town getting weird looks from everyone we passed it was the most fun I've had in a while and I will continue to drive my shoe car until it dies.

I woke up dazed and confused. not knowing where I was. I felt a rocking and swaying and looked around, I saw men dressed in weird outfits holding guns and I finally realized that I was tied up on a pirate ship. When they realized that I had woken up they same over to me and started asking me all these questions but I couldn't understand what they were saying as quickly as I had woken up they already had me untied and face to face with the captain I was so nervous and scared so I didn't know what to say. So the captain said something crazy and the other pirates walked me over to the side of the boat and onto the plank and told me to jump. I had no other choice either I jumped or got shot so I decided to jump.

One day the pink power ranger was in battle with the rest of the rest of the power rangers trying to defeat the evil monster. They battled for hours on end to try to defeat this monster and finally they all teamed up and joined to make one big killing machine to defeat the monster but there was a problem the pink ranger had lost her megatron sword so she couldn't be apart of the battle! They had to do it without her so they all teamed up and destroyed the monster but the pink power ranger still could not find her megatron sword so she looked for it for days and still was not sure where it was. The next day she looked on eBay just because she was curious and there it was her real megatron sword but the guy that was selling it wanted a million dollars for it, which the pink power ranger did not have so her and the rest of the power rangers hunted the guy down and battled him for the sword.

How ridiculous I was as a... young silly kid. I would always be outside either on my bike or riding my skateboard with all of the neighbor kids. We would play cops and robbers in our neighborhood and get really into it. In the winter me and my friends would always go sledding and snowboarding in our backyards. Ever since I was about 8 years old me and my neighbors have been doing goofy things together. Times have changed though most of the kids have moved out or just grown up theres just 2 kids left in the neighborhood me and steven whos been my friend the longest. He's 20 now and im almost 18 so I guess you cant really consider us kids anymore. But we used to have the best times together as kids.

                  my car is broken
                i have places to go
          Can I find some way to fix it
    How long will it be before I can drive again
   Can the car even be fixed or is it hopeless
   I can't take a bus to school they aren't around
        Stranded                  No Money

If I had the power to change anything in the world the first thing I would do is just make everyone get along because I feel like we waste a lot of time fighting when it could be resolved easier. Other than that I think the world is a pretty good place. There are a few small things that I don't agree with but other than that I'm pretty satisfied with the way I live. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii dddddddddoooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnntttttt kkkkkkkkkkkkknnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooowwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaattttttt eeeeeeeellllllllllllsssssssssseeeeeeeeeee ttttttttttooooooooooo wwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttteeeeeeee.

The house was made of... wobbly old wood that looked 100 years old as we came upon this house we knew something was weird about it. it was really old fashion and there was a wagon in front of the house. as we walked closer to the house the only light we had was the twinkle of the stars. we got to the house and looked in the window but couldn't see much so we decided to go to the back, as we got to the side of the house i saw a tombstone and went up to read it. I had to squint because it was so dark out but it read "r.i.p gabby" this kind of freaked me out but we continued to go around the house. as we got to the back of the house we noticed that there was a broken window in the back so we crawled through it. when we got in the house it was very dark and scary. we kept hearing noises and getting scared but we kept going. we searched the whole house it had obviously been sitting empty for a long time. so we unlocked the front door and walked out talking about how cool that just was.

Sonnet

should we go outside its nice out today.
we can go to the beach and relax today.
the weather is so nice no clouds in sight.
a perfect summers day get out and play.
the sun is bright and hot it feels so nice.
after a long winter the warmth is here.
the sounds, smells and sights of summer are here.
hanging out with friends nothing to worry about.
just the fresh air and the rest of the summer.
don't want it to end everything is perfect.
but all good things come to an end I guess.
summer vacation theres nothing better.

If I could invite three people to eat dinner with it would be mac miller, wiz khalifa and Pauly D. The reason I would pick these people is because mac and wiz is pretty much all i listen to and they each have their own little show where they video tape their lives and I've watched most of them and they always have fun or do crazy stuff in them. Also Pauly D is mad funny so I think it would be fun to sit down and talk with him about jersey shore and anything else that comes up. Those three people make me laugh and inspire me. I feel like mac miller would be the easiest to relate to because he just turned 19 so hes about the same age as me but makes great music and is becoming more and more popular. They all seem to just have fun in life and make the best out of it which is what I like to do so I think we would have some interesting conversations.

I remember one time when I as a young kid me and my cousin were running around his house chasing each other. my cousin is about 5 years older than me so he was faster so I struggled to run away from him. Our parents were out shopping and his dad was sleeping so we were just running around the house by ourselves. after about 5 minutes of fooling around I ran around their kitchen and into the living room while he was chasing me and as I got close to the living room I was running as fast as I could and I ended up tripping which would of been fine but there was a coffee table in the middle of their living room and I fell so fast that I didn't have time to catch myself and ended up hitting the side of my head right on my temple on the corner of the coffee table and falling to the ground. the next thing I remember is my cousin freaking out and telling me that I was bleeding. I couldn't really feel anything because I was still in shock. at first we thought it wasn't a very big deal and we were going to clean it up and put a band aid on it but then he took a closer look and went and woke up his dad. he came out and saw the blood on his carpet right away and freaked out as I layed on the couch bleeding from the side of my head. when he calmed down he took a look at it and called my mom while he was on the phone I heard him say that i would probably need stitches and I instantly started crying because I had never gotten stitches but i heard they hurt really bad. after that we put some towels and stuff on my head until my mom got home and took me to the hospital. the first hospital we went to said they wouldn't stitch it up because there was to big of a risk of it not working so we had to go to a different hospital in St. Paul and i finally got it all stitched up around 2 in the morning and it happened at around 3pm so i had a hole in my head for a long time. I remember going to the doctor and they gave me a book to read while they put in the stitches and I got a Popsicle after so it turned out to be all good but i was so scared to actually get the stitches.

The one thing I am most excited for is graduating and having the whole summer to chill with my friends and have the best times of our lives. I am also excited to turn 18 because all of my other friends are already 18 so I miss out on a lot of fun things that they do. I still have about a little over a month till my birthday so I have been counting the days. This summer is going to be the best summer of my life no matter what. I'm going to have as much fun as possible with all my friends before we all go off to college. I plan to work a lot in the summer so I have enough money to go out and do something everyday and not worry about the money. We go to the beach a lot in the summer and just hang out and play Frisbee which is one of my favorite things to do. I'll still be playing a lot of baseball so I expect my summer to be full of fun, work, and baseball which is just how I want it.

the small slippery snake slid down the hill.
he squirmed slithered and scurried.
he was dangerous distressed and determined to kill.
if you see the small snake you should be worried.

sense of time poem

June
green, white, purple, blue, orange and yellow
The colors of green grass, the beach, flowers, birds, and sunshine
It feels like happiness

Sounds like birds singing
Smells like food on the grill

Tastes like ice cream
It feels like happiness

Earliest Childhood Memory

The first thing that I can remember from my childhood was going to Disney world with me my mom my aunt and my cousin. I remember I was so excited before the trip cause I had never been to Disney world and I knew how fun it was. we stayed in one of the Disney themed hotels so I got the full experience. When we were there we went to all the theme parks and water parks. Me and my cousin were about the same age so we had a blast together while our parents would do their own thing. it was one of the most fun weeks of my life when I was a young kid I will always remember the trip and how happy it made me.

The one thing I'm most excited for right now is spring break and the start of the 2011 baseball season. the reason I am so excited about this is because it will be my senior year on the team and our team looks really good this year. we are also going to Florida as a team for spring training over spring break which is always fun. I went last year and had a blast on the beach in Florida playing baseball with my teammates and screwing around in the nice Florida weather. I'm also excited to see what new roles people will bring to the team this year. the team will be made up of mostly seniors but there will be a few juniors that will get to start so I'm excited to see what they can bring to the team. as a senior I've already been through the program for four years so I know exactly what to expect and how to act. last year was my first year on the varsity team so I was still learning a lot of new things about how the team works but this year I feel a lot more comfortable and I'm ready to just concentrate on playing good baseball and contributing to the team as much as possible.

song lyrics

1. I chose this song because it has a good beat and a sick drum breakdown, its important because it puts me in a good mood.
2. The story is he saw someone do something bad and someone that lied to him that he wont forget
3. I don't know the structure.
4. this is a deep touching song that can get you pumped up or just chill.
5. the message is that he knows what someone did and he wont forgive them.
6. the intention is to maybe get back at the person or release some anger on what the person did to him.

 I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm… I quickly get up because I'm worried I try to breathe but it hurts to much, I look around and have no idea where I am. All I feel is cold and pain, my pockets are empty, I have nothing. But i know i have to get up and find someone to help me so i use all of my remaining strength to get up and walk around the corner of a building where i see normal everyday people walking the streets of downtown. I still do not know what city I'm in so I go up to the closest person and ask them, and they respond with new york. Now I am even more terrified because I am so far away from home. I find a pay phone and get some change from a stranger and call my parents. they had been looking for me for days and were so happy to hear my voice, they got on a plane as soon as they could to come get me.

My Best Friend

Me and my best friend do the craziest things together. we go way back to 7th grade we got into a fight and have been best friends ever since. even though we don't go to school with each other anymore he is the one person who I hang out with most and have the most fun with. we have so much in common and always come up with the weirdest ideas. on Sunday I called him and asked him if he just wanted to walk somewhere cause it was nice out, so we met up and ended up going on a 5 mile walk down by the river bottoms and had a great time. we know we have each others backs and know everything about each other. there is no one else who understands the level of friendship that we have.

Out of the dark we came, into the… dark dangerous looking cave that reeked as if someone had died in there. As we continued on through the cave we saw all kinds of animals and other interesting things. We wanted to be adventurous so we kept going deeper and deeper into the cave until suddenly we heard a squeal, we had no idea what could of made the noise but we were all instantly terrified. So we quickly turned the other way and ran out of the cave. as we got to the opening of the cave we heard the crafty playing of a trumpet off in the distance so we knew there were people nearby. We decided to go in the direction of the trumpet playing and see what we could find.

baseball is just a game.
yet it means so much to me.
all winter I wait until spring.
to get outside and throw the ball around.
I go out to practice after a long day of school.
and suddenly everything is fine.
joking around with my teammates and having a great time.
preparing for the games in the upcoming week.
there is nothing like baseball that makes me feel so much joy.

10 years from now

Today I woke up at 6am on Wednesday February 9 2021. just like every other day I get up make myself some food and head off to work in my brand new convertible lambo. when I get to work as a professional sports agent I call some of my clients to get some things straightened out and handle some business. after a short day at work I go back to my mansion in the hills of Hollywood with my wonderful family. I call up some friends and we go out to eat at a nice bar and watch the game. after a long day of running around and having fun I make my way back home to relax with my model wife and go to sleep to do it all over again.

most embarrassing moment

My most embarrassing moment would be in 4th grade when I was getting on the bus to go home after a long day of elementary school and I was carrying a project I had just finished so my hands were full and as I was on my way to the back of the bus to find a seat one of my friends pantsed me and i couldn't do anything about it cause I had my hands full so everyone pointed and laughed at me and I'm pretty sure I was close to crying. The end

some random stuff

You are walking down the street and out runs a zebra, you hear a roar and then out strolls a lion. It turns and looks your way… I stood there and watched the lion slowly sneak up on the zebra. The lion look real hungry and fiending for food so I knew he would attack at any second. Just as I thought the lion pounced and chased the zebra down and got it by the back leg. All of a sudden the lion seemed to not want the zebra anymore and turned back towards me. I was instantly terrified and began to run. I ran as fast as I ever have before to get away from the beast. It was gaining on me I couldn't out run the lightning fast speed of the lion. After about a minute of running it caught up to me and pounced just like it did on the zebra I felt a sharp pain in my neck and I knew it had gotten me. Just as I fell to the ground I woke up from a horrible nightmare sweating profusely. The end

thank you note

I would like to thank my mom for always being there for me and supporting me with everything I do. I know I'm not the best son and I get in trouble sometimes but she realizes most of the time. she does everything she can to make me happy and to make sure I'm safe. I don't knoww what I would do without my mom she amazes me everyday with her kindness and compassion. she is the one person in this world who I am closest to. sometimes I get mad at her when she tells me to do things but its just because I'm a teenager and I don't understand.

Best place in the world

To me, the most peacefully, best place in the world is Park City Utah. I just recently came back from a weekend trip to Park City about 2 weeks ago and I had a great time. We stayed at the Sundial Lodge which was a very nice hotel right one the mountain about 100 yards from the nearest lift. I went with the school so I was with some of my closest friends in paradise which made it even better. We didn’t know what to expect because our previous trips have been fun but nothing could compare to our accommodations this year. Our hotel room had 2 king size beds, a balcony, flat screen TV, full kitchen with dishwasher and a washer and dryer for our clothes. It was everything we needed and more, along with everything that our rooms had to offer the hotel itself had a lot of fun activities for when we weren’t on the hill. There was an outdoor heated pool, 2 hot tubs with one on the roof and plenty of other fun things to do. During the day we would ride the mountain and have a great time and around 4 when the lifts would close we would all come back meet up talk about our days and plan what we were going to do that night. One night we went into town and looked at all the shops and places to eat. at night it was just me and 3 of my best friends in our hotel room having the times of our lives. I will never forget this trip and the people that I enjoyed it with I hope we can all plan a trip like that next year because it is definitely worth it.

Catfish review paper

Catfish Movie Review

Stu Daly

                This movie was great all around. I love the way they filmed it, it made it look like a documentary about Nev. I wouldn’t of changed the movie in anyway I think they did a great job of making it. My favorite part of the movie was the ending and how Nev went and found out the truth, it was very interesting and kept me wanting to watch more and more. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone especially people who are currently using Facebook because it shows what people can really do over the internet and that you have to be careful.

               

In the movie Catfish the main character Nev a photographer from New York City takes pictures of dancers and other things and he got his picture published in a new York magazine and about three months later he received a painting in the mail of one of the pictures he had taken that was supposedly painted by an 8 year old girl from Michigan named Abby. The painting was really good and surprised Nev so he wanted to contact Abby and eventually he started a relationship with Abby and her family. He would send her more pictures that he had taken and she would paint them and send them back to him. After a while Nev started talking to Abby’s sister and started to get close with her, her name was Megan and Nev thought that something could really come from their relationship.  They carried on an online relationship for about 8 months sending each other pictures and exchanging text messages.  After a while Nev travels to Vail Colorado for a dance festival and wants to meet Abby’s family. So after the dance festival him and his friends drive up to Michigan to meet the family and when they do it is not quite what Nev expected and he tries to figure out what’s weird about the whole situation.

                Through the whole relationship Nev thought that it was something real and could maybe go somewhere with it but after he meets with the family he realizes that everything was pretty much made up and that he wasted almost 8 months of his life talking to this person who wasn’t even real. The movie did a really good job of showing everything that happened and going into detail so the viewers didn’t get confused because it would have been easy if the filming and editing wasn’t done right.

               

Overall the whole idea of the movie was great. I enjoyed watching the whole movie because in the beginning it was a little slow but it was just working up to the ending which was a great surprise. I didn’t expect the way it ended at all but it was very good. I love the soundtrack and the way it was filmed because it made it seem very real and part of what was going on. I liked that Nev went and spent the time to investigate the family because he knew it was kind of sketchy to begin with but I’m glad that he went and found out the truth.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a decent movie this would probably be more for adults because I’m not sure a young kid would be able to comprehend what is really going on. The whole facebook thing is big now and it’s important that people understand that people can make fake profiles and pretend to be other people. This movie really shows that it can happen to anyone, there are people out there that will spend the time to do that. Everything about this movie was very interesting and I would recommend it to all of my friends.

catfish day 3

the ending of this movie really suprised me i thought there was going to be a real megan and i was hoping they would go to see her. but it turns out that megan was made up to. i like the way nev handled the whole situation he was calm and got her to admit it in a nice way. angela was really weird and awkward which is what i would expect out of someone who did that. i love the ending where it describes why the movie is named catfish it gave it a comical ending. overall it was a very good movie and i enjoyed it.

catfish day 2

i think its really weird that nev had an 8 or 9 month relationship with a 40 some year old lady and they shared intimate text messages with him. im glad the nev went and found out the truth about everything because it would not have turned out the same way if he had not done that. i want to see what megan looks like because angela made up all of the people the nev knew. i kinda thought something was sketchy about the whole thing but i wasnt expecting that angela created her own little world on facebook and made it believable for a while.

catfish movie

this movie is pretty interesting so far, im still wondering why the movie is called catfish though. the whole relationship over facebook is kind of sketchy im interested in finding out what happens when they go to michigan and see if they are real and not lieing to him. if i was him i would probably look more into it before going to meet them in person because it seems kind of weird the way they are acting.
