Hayao Miazaki more than Walt Disney and heres why
As one of my biggest and oldest dreams and ambitions is to become an animator theres no reason to hide the fact that i enjoy cartoons more than an avarge 20-yr-old probably should. I love western cartoons as well as japanese anime, but theres a lill thing ive noticed and just cant get over it. So here we go.
While most today film critics claim Walt Disney to be one of the tops of the cartoon world theres another artist id like to compare to him, if not put in front of him. That would be Hayao Miazaki, a japanese animator and creator of movies such as "Spirited away", "Howls walking castle" and the marvelous "Princess Mononoke". Now, both him and Disney indeed are great artists but there are a few simple reasons i prefer Miazaki more.
Most, if not all Disneys movies are based on already existing stories created by other authors. Not to mention that the Lion King was a complete and shameless ripp off of an old manga/anime from 1960's called Jungle Tantei, dubbed in English as Kimba the white lion.
On the other hand, Miyazakis stories are original and fantastically developed.
Apart of being unoriginal, Disneys stories are simple and usually all rest on the same shame: two characters fall in love, destroy the evil bad guys and live happily ever after. Miyazakis storylines are way more complex. The stories are completely original and every contains an own world that simply draggs the watcher in. Theres also a interesting thing i noticed: if we look at Miyazakis work we will notice that there is no real "bad guys". None of the characters are esencially "evil" and usually turn "good" in the end.
I mean, how often do you see a walking castle??!
What would be the message of most Disney movies? To find a partner, fall in love and live happily ever after? Do you really think that falling in love is the most important aspect of a persons life? I personally cant agree here. On the other hand, Miyazakis characters are shown as helping each other, even their enemies and later on being rewarded for that.
But then, thats only my opinion.

1st: Originality

2nd: Story
Apart of being unoriginal, Disneys stories are simple and usually all rest on the same shame: two characters fall in love, destroy the evil bad guys and live happily ever after. Miyazakis storylines are way more complex. The stories are completely original and every contains an own world that simply draggs the watcher in. Theres also a interesting thing i noticed: if we look at Miyazakis work we will notice that there is no real "bad guys".

3rd: Message

I personally cant agree here. On the other hand, Miyazakis characters are shown as helping each other, even their enemies and later on being rewarded for that.
Conclusion
Both artists do deserve respect but however you look at it, Miyazaki wins here.
But then, thats only my opinion.

I loathe reality
I was told so many times that i should grow up and use some more mature motives for my art. They told me i should stop living in my lill dream world and finally step into reality.
Reality. We're surounded by it. Its everywhere around us and we cant run away from it. Or can we?
They say artists copy the world they live in. I dont. Why should I if I can create my own world?

10 Ways to earn Money over Summer
Today everyone wants/needs money. You may now be like "Well, not me bitch, im not a fucking matherialist." but even with thinking for a lill while about that you'll realize you're wrong. You need money and you know it. We all do. And lets admitt it, we do live in a matherial world moved by money.
So here i present you 10 ways to earn money. I dont say they are easy or fast, nor i claim myself to be responsible for any of the consequences that you may gain with them (like being banned from the community or left and hatred by your loved ones etc) but i can asure you that all of your persistence and hard work have to pay off.... someday.
1. FIND A JOB
Wow, id bet you didnt know this but if you want money the easiest way would be to get a job. Now, nobody said that the finding of a job will be easy. If your still at school(what is my case) you'll probably want a part time job you'll be doing only over your summer holydays. Most kids where i come from choose bartending at coffe bars but if you're not that good with people(what is my case) you can just politely ask if you could only wash the dishes or clean toilettes n stuff. I know its a pretty dirty job but you need money, right?
2. HELP OUT
This is quite simmilar to the first paragraph, the only difference is that you'll be working for an individual(like your neighbour or anyone else who will need your help and be ready to pay for it.). You can mow lawns, baby sit, walk dogs, help the eldery, do the shopping for them etc....
3. SELL STUFF
You can sell stuff you dont need or create stuff like clothes or jewelry and sell it.You also can sell your paintings(which have to be good if you want people to buy them) or anything else that you can make.
Sell stuff over Etsy or eBay or over adverts you can put into the newspaper or just sell your handmade crafts to your friends and family. Also - if your going to start a real bussiness make sure you register your shop and make it legal, otherwise you can get into trouble and loose more money than you earned.
4. BECOME A STREET PERFORMER
You can sing, dance or play any instrument? Great! Make money with your talent!! Find a bussy spot in your town and show the world what you can!! You will most likely attract the attention of the crowd and earn some money and if your really good at what your doing you also may become famous. Who knows, who knows....
5. RECICLE STUFF
Dont throw away your garbage, recycle itt!! Pick up the bottle, can or old newspaper and instead of throwing it away help mother nature and recycle it. Your doing a good deed and getting payed for it!
6. BECOME A MOVING ADVERTISEMENT
Tatto the logo of your favourite company on your forehead or get it pasted all around your car. Also, you should get a contract with them BEFORE you do it.
7. PANHANDLE
WikiHow says: "A panhandler is a person who depends on the spontaneous charity of strangers for their survival." So all you have to do is sit in a corner with a empty cup and a "I NEED YOUR MONEY" shield. To make a better impact, leave home your D&G bag and better take your oldest, mangiest clothes and smear some mud over your face so you really look poor and homeless and awake some compassion from the bypassers what will result with you gaining more money. You also can make a list of all the deseases you have and body parts you need money to operate or perform choking or a near death expirience what will intrigue your audience even more.
8. SELL BLOOD OR/AND ORGANS
You have a rare blood type and two kidneys? Make money with em!! You can sell your kidney for about 3000$ and get at least 1500$ for a liter of your blood. You also can sell blood plasm, sperm, eggs or even hair! Who needs organs if you can have money?
9. PROSTITUTION
This is one of the easiest ways to get money ever. Have sex with people and get payed for it. Why sell organs if you can sell your whole body?
10. BECOME A SHOPLIFTER
Shoplifter, burglar, serial killer. What matters is that your doing it for money. You can also get involved in the local mafia or drug bussiness.
Just make sure you dont get caught and end up like this guy:
Disclaimer: I seriously hope that everyone got the sarcasm in most of this. In case you didnt: Im NOT responsible for any consequences.
All the pics are from Google and belong to the nice people who uploaded them so we all can use them. Thank you, people.

And I thought I hated love stories....
I always hated love stories, but I never really read one.
I had another fight with my father today. That man really hates me. This time the reason was my unusual clothing style. I was always trying to be different and that was probably one of the main reasons we argued so often.
Anyway, he started yelling like a maniac and wouldnt stop so at one point i couldnt take it anymore. I grabbed the first book i spotted at that moment, put it in my bag and runned out of my stinky little apartment. Next thing i remember myself doing is lurking through the dark alleys of my town like a zombie, with my giant baby blue headphones on, serching for the first bench in a dark park. And i found it. It was perfect, covered in the shade of the nearby chesnut tree, with as good as no people around to stare or laugh at me. So i planted myself on the wide wooden bench, took of my giant headphones and took out the book i grabbed before - and was quite shocked to find it was a love story. As long as i could remember i always hated love stories. I never was romantic or found by anything like that. It only disgusted me.
But anyways, i hadnt much choice so i opened the small white book and start reading. First it seemed boring. The print was small and it wasnt easy to read in the dark but i continued anyway. And after a while actually started likeing it. Wow. I was reading a love story and liked it. Sounds quite new to me. I even found it that interesting that when i felt like going home i couldnt make myself close the book. I couldnt stop reading. Books are powerfull. Amazing, isnt it?
