I think you do well with NFL because you're not really Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's not so Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi if it's NRL. You lose your mind Yeah, to a degree one of the funniest things you ever said it was one of the first funny things you said to me I think I don't know where we were but we're watching football and you walked in and you said has anyone thrown a forward pass yet?  I love watching tennis to Yeah, tennis is better to watch but like I don't want to brag about a sport is a sport and it's just a sport You've been getting into UFC.   I do the swim, but I wouldn't put my head under Oh my god, and I hold my breath because it's only 10 meters. I could just do that in a blast Yeah, true. You're 30 minutes.

Maybe it should just well depends what the results are I think Um But yeah, we played tag and then we got well just about to get into The capital of the Czech Republic Prague's castle on the hill and we never got to see it Yeah, that's right tag The whole reason for me going to Europe is I wanted to see cars So what happened?  We didn't really go to Europe We were just there in dreams.  We were out alive 50% Yeah, and don't just the reason we do this is so you don't have to Because we're not happy all we are I think But yeah, there you have it science. I guess Banes has asked Is that Hercules? Not Hercules doesn't have my number yet I haven't given it to him yet. He stressed me out. I don't know if he was texting me because he overheard us How confusing would that be if a message from Hercules Came through. Yeah. Hey, I heard what you guys were saying.

Yes, we spoke about this today We've got like over nine hours where the footage we're working out just on our facebook page I'm pretty sure I can't wait to like have an actual production team. Yeah, but we can really believe in it because We need a crew. We need a crew Matt Okay Yeah, dude, like but like movies don't sell all like social media sells right like at this point in time Yeah, we're not media is bigger than tv To a degree you can't even go to the movies no more We're on stand by the way. Yeah, we found out we're the ridiculousness episodes are on stand and we're on one of the episodes or two of them, right?  We are tv matt Yep, well, we have been on tv before I guess for briz 31 That's not tv.  I count it It's community. We were in the shot down now. We were in the tv We were in the tv guide too. So it's like it's pretty crazy. Really? Yeah, do you remember when you were a kid and you used to get the pay for the dvds? I mean the tv guides.   You're your dad Yeah He get quite angry if the if you got a paper and the tv guide had been taken out Is it was it the sis or you that's taken it?        Oh my god. It was not me. It was the one I'm man It was always like a lucky random that you'd never know what movie was coming on But it was always you just watched it even though what matter what yeah.    Is it a box? Yes, it's a box. It's That's a new segment name change. This is the p1 boxing and we've got a box Be careful, dude. This is yeah, it smells some smells already. Oh wait. We should probably read this out because this might be um They might they might no no they might want a shout out. You know what I mean?  That smells like anthrax This is from just liquor Okay, I think that's a company or something. I think they've sent through some sort of liquid It feels like a bottle inside here, but we'll see it could be a bomb.   What's going on here boys?    Hey Oh That is strong pong. Yeah.  Sorry, dude. I'm scared. I sent it to ourselves I wanted to kill us. I love it when we get big packages It's exciting. That makes me feel like it's a thing park or something That's something nice.   Oh, don't please don't send us in paranoia Please don't send us anthrax Oh, hello, that's mine. Okay. This is from just liquor. Okay. Now. This is uh, I guess Try it. This is alcoholic lime soda flavor Why does it smell so beautiful? Yeah, I thought it was like a scary smell, but it's actually really a delicious smell And this All right.

Yeah, it feels like healthy Oh, well, look at that.   Yeah, so liquor guys. This is great So, um, basically they were unable to find an alcoholic drink that was low in calories So the 20 year old students dropped out of there Dropped out and made their own liquor nine months later. They were in a big warehouse stacked with liquor Um, I think it's a vodka based one. You can tell they're clever boys by just what they've done here Very clever.  We don't have time. Oh, damn it. We're out of time So guys getting scary. We're pretty scared to subglue these to each other's hands and then high five But maybe it could be a little slight. Yeah, we saw mail into one.

You can do it again If you just you just you order a patient you ask that if you can add ingredients But ask for ingredients that are completely not on the menu like cat meat or something like that Do you know what I mean? And but start off not like a bit normal like banana pills And but then start going into really like intense ingredients like Hey, man, can I just place a um pick up order, please? Yeah, sure.

My top 20 movies from the 2000s. Hey, what's up guys? It's Josh here. I want to do my favorite movies from 2000 to 2010. I have 20 movies on this list and four honorable mentions. I really like to do movies on this channel, but I feel like this is not a movie channel. So the more I do top five, top 10, top 20, whatever, the more interesting it is for you as a viewer and the more interested I am in doing it because it's a bigger list. So let's just jump right into it here. I'm going to try to explain these as much as I can, but I know that there's going to be certain elements to each movie that I'm going to forget. And maybe if I do a full review on each one, I could kind of go more in-depth, but I'm going to try to give you just as much as I can without staying on any movie too long. My honorable mentions I only have four. They are the original Iron Man. And to be honest, the only reason this one wasn't on the list is because I haven't seen it in so long. But this movie came out right when I was in that perfect age of being able to love this movie still in high school, but old enough to really, really appreciate it. I loved Iron Man. I just have to see it again because I haven't seen it probably since it came out. Crank is kind of like a guilty pleasure. It was hard for me to put this on this list. It's for a certain kind of person. A certain kind of person can appreciate Crank, but it is very over the top and very in your face and not for everybody. Disturbia, I really like Disturbia. I feel like it's really interesting. I like Shy on the Buff, but I just feel like the last half wasn't as good as it could have been because I felt like the first half built great. The last half was okay. The solid movie. And then another one is Requiem for a Dream, which is a super sad movie about drug use that I used to like more, but I've kind of fallen out from loving it just because it's just such a sad movie about drug use and it's just sad and leaves you with a kind of feeling. So those are my four honorable mentions. Let's jump into the top 20. Mission Impossible 2. Now, most people really don't like this movie for the Mission Impossibles. It's kind of low on the list. People actually put it last. I remember the media for this and people promoting it and just seeing MI2 everywhere. It looked like the most crazy action movie. It looked like so fun to watch, but very few people have talked about it. I actually watched all the Mission Impossibles about last year and I just absolutely love this movie for the cheesy action movie that it is. There's these kind of like Matrix and Blade kind of movies that came out in the early 2000s where it's very futuristic, lots of sci-fi and Mission Impossible 2 is just my favorite early 2000s way over the top action movie. I just really, really enjoyed it for what it was. Mission Impossible 2, number 20. All right, number 19 is Running Scare. Now, this is a movie that I like. It definitely has its flaws. I rewashed it with one of my friends. It's definitely not a perfect movie. It definitely is over the top, very similar to Crank. But there's just something I really like about this movie. It's probably the most gritty, intense Paul Walker movie that's ever been made. I think he gives probably one of his best performances here. Even though he kind of slips out of his accent a little bit, he just goes like a million miles an hour. It's got a really good story. The only negatives really with it is very over the top. And then halfway through the story does kind of get a little jumbled.  So really like Running Scare. It's probably not one of my favorite movies of all time, but as far as my top 20 movies in the 2000s, I would say it's number 19. Number 18 is Superbad. And I absolutely love Superbad when it came out. To me, I have like this memory of Superbad and it's like etched in this time period of the 2000s. Very quickly movies outpaced it and it kind of feels just like nostalgic to that specific time. I think it was like 2007, but I remember watching this with a lot of friends. I remember watching this with my dad and it was just like funny, new, quirky, new age movie that came out and everybody liked it. For me, I have it mainly for nostalgia for that perfect time period. Really liked Superbad. All right, number 17 is Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Now, I actually don't really like too much romance movies, but there's a select few that just really hit it out of the park. And I think that Mr. and Mrs. Smith is one of those. The whole tension of this building to where they finally have that confrontation in the middle of the movie. The tension is just so good. The actors are just top tier and they actually ended up getting married later on and I just really, really enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's probably one of my favorite romance style movies or movies that features romance as the main thing. All right, number 16 is The Grudge. Now, I watched this one somewhat recently. I think I watched it twice. I just really, really, really like The Grudge. It's probably gonna be in my top 10 horror scary movies of all time still. It's definitely my favorite movie involving like the girls with the black hair, same with like the ring, things like that. I just loved everything about this movie. You had multiple stories kind of converging into one. I liked the Japanese setting. I liked how scary the final girl is and how everything's built. I liked the whole lure of explaining why things are haunted and the terrible thing that happened back in the day that makes it haunted now. I just really liked The Grudge. I've always liked it and it's a definite number of 16. Maybe it would be higher up if I saw it like when it first came out, but I really do like The Grudge. Okay, Brick. Now, Brick's a movie that actually forgot to put on this list and I had to put it in the middle because it's definitely deserves to be on this list. And again, if I had seen it, you know, a long time ago, it would probably be higher, but Brick is just an amazing, technically, it's a neo-noir mystery style movie. I would just say it's a mystery movie set in high school. And this movie is just super, super engaging. I, you know, put it on and not expecting to really watch a movie at the time. And I just kind of wanted to watch a couple of minutes. Maybe I'll get interested and I just could not put this movie down. It's not something I'd want to watch and watch and watch over and over. Maybe it is for you. But I just think as a once watch, this movie was absolutely amazing. I did not want to put it down in a fantastic mystery movie, number 15, Brick. Number 14 is my favorite Rob Zombie movie and that is House of a Thousand Corpses. Now I've seen this movie a few times and every time I see it, I just really like it. I like it way more than Devil's Rejects. It has more of a quirky kind of a vibe. In my opinion versus Devil's Rejects, Devil's Rejects is a little bit more just evil and dark and gritty. I felt like House of a Thousand Corpses had this really kooky family vibe with also having this extreme crazy horror built in. It almost felt like a Rob Zombie song because Rob Zombie, he goes really dark in his songs, but they have this catchy, upbeat vibe to where it doesn't really feel super evil like it does in Devil's Rejects, but I like the way it fills in a Thousand Corpses. Just one of my favorite horror movies, probably my top 10 of all time as well. All right, number 13 is Training Day. And I absolutely love Training Day. Training Day was set in L.A. and I was living by L.A. till like 2002 and we ended up moving real far away and I was talking to one of my buddies and he said that he loved Training Day and he used to live by L.A. too. So I remember watching this in like 2006, 2007. Definitely a while since it came out and I just really, really love going back to that classic L.A. vibe. You know, this is the L.A. that I remember because I used to live there during this time. I have this nostalgic vibe with this movie. Denzel's amazing. It's just got so, so many classic scenes. It's got a great building. The way it fills in the beginning is the way it fills in the end. It has just good pacing. I like everything about this movie. It could possibly be a little bit better probably but for nostalgia's sake, I really do like Training Day number 13. Number 12 is Transformers and this is another one that's just super high up for nostalgia. It's not a movie that I'd watched very much at all probably now. Like I wouldn't mind watching every now and again but it's not something I watch all the time. This is just one of those movies again that just hit me in the right time period. You know, I'm growing up. I remember seeing this with my cousins and it's like when we're all still in high school and we haven't like got to that point where you either have to go out and do something and be busy or you sit at home and be a loser. You're kind of in that stage where everything's great no matter what you do. And I just remember loving this movie. This is pretty much like The Avengers before The Avengers. Like the probably the first all CGI movie that is so good that it probably holds up today. Really liked the first one. Obviously all the other ones can you can just throw them away but the first one really, really liked it and it's mainly because they have those memories with it just really liked this movie. Transformers number 12. All right, number 11 is The Rundown with The Rock. I really liked The Rundown. It's probably my favorite Dwayne Johnson or The Rock movie to this day. Again, I probably some nostalgia with it but I just really liked the whole action adventure style of things with this. Has a great progression. Christopher Walken's great in this movie. Sean William Scott's great in this movie. The bartender girl, I forget her name. She was in like clerks and stuff but she was good in this movie. I just really liked the whole adventure aspect to it. Most of the time they're in the jungle and then there ends up being this like hidden golden thing some treasure they need to find as well and it just has a really, really good healthy pace begins and I've always liked The Rundown and it's probably still my favorite Dwayne The Rock Johnson movie. Number 10 is No Country for Old Men and to be honest guys, my favorite style of movies is very, very serious story based movies. I've always liked those. That's gotta be my number one favorite and there hasn't been or there wasn't that many. It's really, really good serious story movies that came out between 2000 and 2010. Most of the time their movies that I liked good fun action movies or they were comedies. That's just how 2010 is. It's kind of weird cause once we get to right now I would say I don't really like almost any of the comedies nowadays but as far as back then the best stuff was just fun action movies and comedies. So that's kind of what this list is but No Country for Old Men is one of those rare ones that it is a really, really good serious story that came out during this time period. I've always seen this movie once or twice but I just absolutely love the good back and forth of this like redneck Texan guy who's technically Thanos and then the, oh man, the other villain who just blew everybody away with how dark and crazy he could act, great serious tension. One of the best, you absolutely have to watch this movie if you like really serious suspense movies. All right, number nine. I can't believe this one went so high but there's a little bit of nostalgia, Step Brothers. Now Step Brothers is something to where I really liked Will Ferrell from Anchorman. You're gonna see that higher up on this list but I really liked Will Ferrell in Anchorman and I remember when I somehow got a Step Brothers poster and I had a poster of Step Brothers on my wall before I even saw the movie, you know, years later and then when I saw the movie it is really funny. It is really good. It does have a good story. It's not my favorite of all time was with Will Ferrell but I really, really like it. What put this over the top for me is seeing other people quote the movie or going around friends and it's just like, this is like their movie to watch like the funniest movie that they could come out with and people quoted it all the way up to like 2014, 2015, 2016. I was here and Step Brothers quotes all the time quoting the Catalina wine mixer and all this stuff but to me it's just a really, really funny movie that I appreciate that kind of reminds me of all the other people that like it too. Kind of a weird reason to put this movie where it is but I do think it is really, really funny and I gotta go with number nine as Step Brothers. Number eight, another comedy here is Harold and Kumar. Now I just loved, loved, loved this movie. I don't really know why it is but this movie is just so, so funny. It's got such a simple premise and some of the jokes they go in with this movie are just comically funny and way out there and you just couldn't have done it any funnier than they do in this movie. There's so many good spots, so many random little spots on their journey that are just so funny. There is a little bit of gross nasty kind of laughs in this movie, very little but that's really the only thing I would hold back on it and I just like the story and the comedy element. I like how they are at the end of the movie. The whole conclusion was great and the whole time it was just out of this world and so funny, I love Harold and Kumar. Number eight, all right, number seven, the last on my little comedy spree, Anchorman. Now Anchorman is probably my favorite Will Ferrell movie, Hands Down. I just absolutely love this one. It probably would have been even a little better if they hadn't made a number two because number two was good but it was nowhere near as legendary and as good as Anchorman. I remember just watching this movie to nauseam. I remember calling my friend and leaving him voicemails of like parts of the movie just because it was so funny just constantly quoting it. Around the time of Anchorman, he filmed a few other jokes as Ron Burgundy and I would watch those. They're just so funny. These guys trying to act all tough and manly but just failing all the time. It's so, so funny and definitely my favorite Will Ferrell movie. You had the cameos from Vince Vaughn, and Stiller. I mean, it's just, it's a great movie in my opinion. Number seven, Anchorman. All right guys, number six. I'm surprised this one is as high as it is but it is, I'm gonna have to go with Holes. I think it's from like 2003. Now this is a kids movie but this is a great, great story of redemption. I told you guys my favorite kind of stories are or my favorite kind of movies have a really, really good, serious story. I like comedies but story, like a great story beginning to end. It's like what I like. And Holes is pretty close to that. I saw this when it first came out. I watched Shia LaBeouf since he was in like even Steven. So there was a while before he had any like legal troubles and things like that. He was just on an upswing. And this movie, like I said, it's a great movie from beginning to end about redemption. And I think if you're of any age you're gonna appreciate this movie. It's just a great movie overall. Can't recommend this one enough. Holes, one of my favorite redemption stories probably of all time. Number five, I'm gonna have to go with The Hangover. Now just the original one, not number two, not number three. And I think number two and number three kind of buried this franchise. But in a way I kind of like it because I like the original Hangover. So it kind of like makes people forget about the movies completely when that first one was a gem. But I remember specifically, I think it was like my last day of high school and like leaving and going to watch this movie. And it was just this like perfect time period. Like cause things eventually like a few months later got pretty rough, but at that time period it was like just this like everything was perfect. And this movie was just so funny. I love the whole idea of like putting the pieces together or you kind of have an idea what's going on but you're kind of undoing the mystery aspect to it.  You know, this movie is just almost perfect in my opinion for what it's trying to do for being a Hangover movie. So much funny stuff here. Absolutely love it. Hangover at number five. All right guys, number four is the Fast and the Furious. Now it's not really because the movie is so great. I really do like this movie. It spawned so many other movies but this one really is the nostalgia factor for me. I don't remember when I first saw Fast and the Furious but I remember it coming out and then I saw it on TV and the second that I saw the first drag race where everyone's setting up their cars and the guys that play in PlayStation in his car I was like hooked on I'm getting one of these cars and I was on that for like a couple of years, you know and my cousin is really into cars too. He's really into super bikes. So this was kind of like our connection piece. We love the movies. We'd always quote them and the first one was definitely the best for a long time. It was just the three movies before, you know, Fast 4, Fast 5 and all that. So for me, I have this nostalgia factor of absolutely loving this movie. More mainly for the nostalgia more than it's a good movie, although it's a solid movie.  And then as you can imagine, my mind was absolutely blown once they did Fast 5 because Fast 5 is like probably a better movie than the Fast and the Furious but the Fast and the Furious has so much personal ties to me and I just really, really appreciate this. Number four, Fast and the Furious. All right guys, number three, a movie that I actually saw recently and that is The Count of Monte Cristo. Now again, my favorite movies are movies with a great story from beginning to end and that's what this movie is. I absolutely love this movie. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. I feel like because this is such an old story, what I'm expecting to happen really doesn't happen. It doesn't go the typical way of if you were to set half this movie up to Hollywood and say, hey, finish it. They'd finish it in a really weird way. It would be nowhere near as good as this. This is just a great story of redemption. Guy basically gets screwed and he gets sent to jail and he's basically sent there for life and there he learns a lot of life lessons and slowly tries to escape.  So it's this great redemption from getting screwed over to being this super boss kind of a guy. Really, really, really like this movie and it also has some pretty tense romance scenes. And again, I really am not a romance guy. There's so few actually hit for me, but I actually liked it in this movie. Number three, the Count of Monte Cristo. All right guys, number two is 300. Now I just absolutely love 300. To be honest, it's hard for me to even to label all these to put them in order. I could say maybe the top 10. You could just jumble them around, but 300. I just absolutely love this movie. I remember when it came out, I mean it was like the action movie, the aggressive action movie to watch for several, several years, you know, all the quotes. I remember, you know, sneaking off to see it and everybody talking about it at school and like the slow-mo scenes just being so over the top and so intense and so just perfect. Like we hadn't seen slow-mo or these kind of action scenes really done before. Such an aggressive, overkill, overly masculine style movie. I just really appreciate it because those are kind of rare nowadays. If you haven't seen it, it's like 300 guys going against the whole army of people, but these 300 guys are like just amazingly crazy and like the most crazy guys, you'd never want to fight them. So it's a nice little movie. So 300, number two, an absolute classic for me. Again, guys, it was super hard for me to raise these, you know, based on different days. They probably wouldn't move around, but my number one is probably Wedding Crashers. Now, I just absolutely love Wedding Crashers. It's a little bit more complete in my opinion than Anchorman. I love Anchorman. I would say maybe, maybe comedy-wise, I might pick Anchorman a hair. It's really hard, but how perfect Wedding Crashers is, it's probably my favorite Owen Wilson movie. It's my favorite Vince Vaughn movie. And then it also has like a really nice progression to it. It moved perfectly, you know?  They go after this really big wedding and Owen Wilson really likes one of the girls, but he can't close her right away. So they do what they shouldn't do and go on like an extended vacation or something with that family and like their whole code is just getting in and out. So this movie is just, it's fantastic from the story beginning to end to the laughs. Like I said, it's my favorite Owen Wilson movie. It's my favorite Vince Vaughn movie and it's probably not even close. I love these way more than old school. Old school's movie I appreciate, but just in my opinion does not touch Wedding Crashers. Probably my number one from the 2000 to 2010, but anyways guys, let me know if I missed any out down below. These are all the ones that I think are ownable and there's so many movies that I respect that I liked from this time period, but these are the ones that for some reason pushed me over the edge and I think are ownable and these are my absolute favorites. So let me know what your favorites are down below. Be very interested to see, especially if I haven't seen one because I would love to see if I missed something or I could actually knock one off this list because the movie you suggested was so good. So anyways guys, won the road to 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do it without any of you guys help. You guys are the best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.


Hey there, this is Jennifer Gonzalez for Cult of Pedagogy. I am going to teach you this great strategy today called the Minds-Eyes strategy.  Research shows that proficient readers regularly create images in their minds while they read. Doing so forms stronger mental pathways and makes information easier to retrieve later. Minds-Eyes taps into this principle. Here's how it works.  You want students to read a selection from Peter Cohen's book Ellis Island Interviews, a piece where a woman tells the story of her family's move to the US from Italy. Your first step is to choose 20 to 30 important evocative words from the text, words that will evoke strong feelings or images in the student's minds. Here are the words you choose from this passage. Now before starting the lesson, explain to students that they are going to read a woman's story about her family's move from Italy to the US. So they have some context to build on. Next, read the words slowly and dramatically. Instruct students to create movies in their minds of what they think will happen in the text. As each new word is read, students should try to incorporate it into their mental picture. When you finish reading the list, students will create one of four end products as a way of processing their thoughts. They can draw a picture based on their mental image, ask a question or series of questions they hope the text will answer, make a prediction about the text, or describe the feelings their mental picture gives them. As students work on their end products, you may need to repeat the word list again. Next, have students share their end products in small groups. This will show them all the different possible interpretations for the list. Students will find that others focused more on certain words than they did, and this sharing may result in students altering or refining their products. Students then read the text independently, comparing it with their initial thoughts. Then, as a class, in small groups or independently, have students reflect on the process. How accurate were their predictions? Did they like the end product they chose? Would they choose a different kind next time, for example making a prediction rather than drawing a picture? Once you've used the strategy several times, teach students how to use Mind's Eye independently. Using a sample text, model how to skim a passage and choose words, create mental images, make predictions about the text, and then read to see if your predictions were accurate. Here are a few tips to make Mind's Eye work well for you. First, choose words that are important to the text. Avoid words that are likely to cause predictions that are way off base. The point is to help them make good quality predictions. Also, choose mostly sensory words, words that will evoke strong imagery, sense, or emotion. Second, pay attention to word order. You might simply list the words in the order they appear in the story, but be aware that words that come early in the list may take on stronger meaning in students' minds than they actually have in the story. Finally, if students have trouble forming mental images, practice image making with well-known objects. Without using a text at all, do some sensory exercises where students imagine eating a hot slice of pizza, holding a basketball, or sitting in the sun. This strategy comes from Silver Strong and Perini's outstanding book, The Strategic Teacher, which contains complete descriptions of 20 research-based strategies for teaching any subject.

Slippy Waves, Chico, do you have any advice on a resource to learn how to trade? I've been trying to find on YouTube, but the finest gurus on there are terrible, in my opinion, just like I don't align with their values and morals. It's hard to find a stock trader with a conscious... yeah, the market doesn't... Wall Street doesn't have a conscience, okay? Market does not have a conscience. Market will be happy to make money on a billion people dying, just as much as he will be happy to make money on one person living. Market doesn't care. For us, our family, there is a conscience at play here. Okay, so for example, the family has played puts on Moderna, but even when Moderna is oversold, the family does not buy calls on Moderna, because we don't want to make money on people dying. Okay, but we can... we've talked about Moderna or current events, live streams.


We already have many effective existing technology solutions out there that can help us in reducing CO2 emissions, but we need to start utilizing and implementing them. Promises have already been made to commit on climate financing, and now what we need from our world leaders is to fulfill on their promises and to follow and deliver on their words.


My relationship with my peers is sort of is affected by this work mostly because they get to have a view into what's going on with queer youth and with queer with advancements and queer rights just kind of in general. I'm more involved than most of my friends are so they you know they like to know what's going on and I always have little tidbits of information about which laws are passing which states are okay marriage equality stuff like that and for the most part they're really proud of me. They like to brag about the friend that they have who does LGBT rights stuff and like oh look at her she's doing so many good things and it's actually kind of nice when I meet people and they're like oh yeah I heard about you you're doing this cool stuff so that's really cool. I'm a senior at UCSC and I'm working to graduate in just a couple of months so I haven't had a lot of time to work with the Cantu Center on campus but I have done a lot of work with the Diversity Center planning queer camp. I've done that for a couple of years and I was one of the youth part of the youth planning committee for a couple years before that and I have to say you know the Diversity Center is such an amazing resource and the fact that they're willing to put so much effort and so much time into planning queer camp which is just the most amazing thing. I have witnessed so much blossoming into personal power at that camp and just being in charge of that and the knowing that I was the person who could make that happen who could put everything together so these youth can have this beautiful safe open space is so rewarding and I just I want to make sure that the Diversity Center can keep doing that and can keep you know pushing to give this safe space for young people who don't necessarily have that in their day-to-day lives. My queer-friendly identity I think was shaped from the time I was born. I didn't necessarily have a lot of queer people in my life when I was really really young. I think I had an aunt who was with a woman when I was very very little but I was too little to really understand what it was but I was just raised in a very very open and welcoming and loving community and so the idea that a woman might love a woman or a man might love a man or a man might appear to be a man but inside know that he's really she's really supposed to be a woman that wasn't a strange concept so I was kind of raised into that my whole life it wasn't like any anything revelatory. I personally discovered my queer identity when I was about 12. I had a best friend who I knew was by and I got a huge crush on her and she was really accepting of that and it was she was really open to it and so I it was encouraging and I could kind of branch out into that and it kind of blossomed from there and so yeah from the age of about 12 and I was really lucky to have an environment that accepted that and so I was able to explore it and kind of see what was out there and figure out who I was within the community. I have lots of favorite movies but I think my absolute favorite has to be The Breakfast Club. It's a great movie, great actors but I mean I think it's really beautiful because it's these different people from different backgrounds and different personalities and different physical appearances and it's sort of cheesy but it's really sweet because you know they initially argue as you would expect and then they just come together and they realize that they share something really deep down that allows them to connect with each other and form these beautiful relationships and so you know they start out fighting and then they develop into these great friendships that hopefully will continue and so I really like what that signifies the different kinds of people can come together and create something beautiful. My favorite color probably has to be like a really nice royal blue because it's a really peaceful color you know you look at different colors maybe red or orange or something and they feel really like bright and kind of aggressive like oh look at me I'm a bright color but dark blue is just so calm and it's so relaxing and I look at it and I just kind of feel like I'm being hugged by the color.
