9360 AD
At the age of 63, King Koren Salerno declares the Village of Vancenii to be the City of Vancenii, which will undergo extreme architectural renovations, with an addition of a Grand Palace.

9371 AD
With the Vancenii renovations near completion, King Koren Salerno falls terminally ill at the age of 74. Due to Koren's inability to continue ruling, Prince Jordanell is crowned King Jordanell Salerno of the Royal Domain of Vacith at the age of 24.

9383 AD
Rumors of war with the Kingdom of Baja begin to circulate throughout the Vacith Empire.
These rumors are disregarded by King Jordanell who dismisses them as nothing but wild speculation, although, he is curious as to why Baja ended their trade agreement.

9384 AD
King Jordanell dispatches a Royal Emissary to Nuevo Angelos to report on the situation and get answers.
After being stopped and the Vacith/Bajanian border, the Royal Emissary is killed by the Commander of the border patrol.

King Jordanell Salerno and Queen Lativa Lockhart bore their first and only child, Prince Sorrel Salerno.

9386 AD
A large Bajanian army consisting of at least 17,000 men is spotted by a Vacith scout only 7 miles from Vancenii. By the time the scout reaches the Grand Palace to inform the King, the Bajanian army is only 2 miles away.
Upon hearing of the approaching army, King Jordanell quickly entrusts his wife and his older sister, Princess Leera Salerno, with his one and only son, and the only heir to the Vacith Throne. He intstructs them to run North, and hide until an emissary comes and informs them that the upcoming confrontation has been properly resolved. They do as they are instructed and slip, unnoticed, into the Vacith back-country.
Finally, the Bajanian Amy reaches the Grand Gates of Vancenii, where the Bajanian Grand Commander Ordel Tagiagos reads out the declaration of war and honorary dismantling of the Vacith Empire.
The citizens of Vancenii, outraged, find anything that may be used as a weapon and stand ready to fight. King Jordanell declares that he and his people shall fight to there last ounce of breath and will.
The Bajanian Army is quick to knock down the gates, and the First Battle of Vancenii ensues.
After three days of brutal fighting, King Jordanell surrenders on behalf of his people. He is executed on the spot at the age of 39, and becomes the first ruler of the Vacith Empire to die of unnatural causes.
The remainder of the citizens of Vancenii create a false story that King Jordanell was never married, and as such, never had a son. It seems to succeed in fooling their new Bajanian overlords.

9390 AD
King Sarillu Kazii, a Bajanian puppet monarch, is installed as the new King of the Bajanian province of Baja Vacith.

Queen Lativa Lockhart of the former Royal Domain of Vacith dies from pneumonia at the age of 45, leaving Princess Leera Salerno as the default Queen Leera Salerno of the former Royal Domain of Vacith at the age of 50. Under Vacith law, women are only allowed to rule if the rightful male heir is to young and/or unable to rule. As soon as they are old enough, or become able, the Queen is to step aside and let the new King take his place. 15 is the age at which heirs are allowed to rule.

9398 AD
Prince Sorrel Salerno, the last of heir to the Vacith Throne, begins to make top secret incursions into Baja Vacith to establish inside sources in the area at the age of 14. He also sets up a series of sleeper cells which will violently turn on their Bajanian overlords when the right time comes.

9399 AD
Sorrel Salerno is unceremoniously crowned King Sorrel Salerno of the former Royal Domain of Vacith. His aunt, Queen Leera Salerno, steps aside at the age of 54.
His first act as King is to organize a massive army of 26,654 warriors (comprised of members of different allied Nomadic tribes and citizens of the former Vacith Empire) to seize control of Vacith from the Kingdom of Baja and re-establish the Royal Domain of Vacith.
They begin enveloping areas in which Baja has ceased to occupy due to lack of resources, and covertly begin to make their way south towards Vancenii.

9400 AD
King Sorrel and his army have their first encounter with Bajanian soldiers on the mountainous outskirts of Vancenii, where a small patrol of 34 men is caught entirely by surprise. Each of them are killed, aside from a remaining final four who will be used as bargaining chips once they reach the city walls.
The Second Battle of Vancenii is about to begin.
They make it the rest of the way unchallenged, but not unnoticed. Every Bajanian soldier in the area is quickly called to arms, most of which are quickly foiled from the inside by the sleeper cells, who spark a civilian revolt. As fighting ensues between the residents of Vancenii and the Bajanian soldiers, one sleeper cell makes his way over to the gate and wastes no time in lowering it for Sorrel and his men.
Sorrel and his army charge into the city and purge it of Bajanian soldiers. They are quick to surrender.
In the remainder of the year, Sorrel and his army drive the Bajanian's back into the Kingdom of Baja.
A slight amount of Bajanian native turf is enveloped by Sorrel.

9401 AD

King Sorrel Salerno is declared the greatest King of Vacith (since Saint Chazzius Salerno) at the age of 17.

King Sorrel falls extremely ill at the age of 57. Prince Indassus Salerno temporarily takes power at the age of 24.

9443 AD
After a year of fighting his illness, King Sorrel is declared healthy. Upon attempting to transfer power back to him from his son, Prince Indassus refuses to give up his position of power.
After an hour of arguing, Queen Sahajidos shows up and attempts to calm down her power consumed son. After another hour and a half of arguing, Indassus compulsively stabs his mother. She falls to the ground and begins to cry out of both emotional and physical pain.
Realizing what he's done, but still caught in the heat of the moment, he has no idea what to do when his father quickly punches him in the stomach and tackles him.
Guards hear the commotion from down the hall, and are quick to run and attempt to assist.
Just as the guards are about to enter, Sorrel grabs the knife from his sons hands. Once again, Indassus compulsively yells that he needs help and that his insane father is trying to kill him.
The guards, having no previous knowledge of the situation, quickly grab Sorrel and pin him to the ground. Indassus rushes to his mother, who sputters as to seemingly attempt to say something, but never gains the energy to say it. Queen Sahajidos Unidosida of the Royal Domain of Vacith dies a moment later.
Heart-broken and twisted with the machinations of absolute power, Indassus's grief and guilt transforms into unjustified hatred and anger that's channeled at his father.
He orders his father to be locked in the dungeon for the remainder of his days.
Indassus declares himself King Indassus Salerno of the Royal Domain of Vacith at the age of 25.

9446 AD
Heart-broken, uncared for, forgotten, and betrayed, Sorrel falls ill once again and dies in his dungeon cell at the age of 61.

9447 AD
Strict laws are enforced under Indassus's rule, along with heavy militarization.

9448 AD
Minor territorial gains are made against Nomadic tribes to the east.

9450 AD
A young, ambitious citizen of Vancenii, Toranius Unyill, begins an underground propaganda campaign against Indassus and his regime, calling for a 'toppling of the current Monarchy' due to a corruption of the royal bloodline that he claims stems from Queen Sahajidos half-Bajanian ancestry.

9451 AD
Princess (and former Queen) Leera Salerno is declared the oldest living person on the known world at 106, being the last surviving child of King Koren Salerno and Queen Naomi Unstun. She was born in 9345 AD, and was also King Koren's first child.
She is generally ignored by King Indassus and his regime, although she makes it obvious that she is strongly opposed to Indassus's rule.

9452 AD
Toranius Unyill declares the need for a rebooting of the Monarchy; a fresh start. He names himself as the required successor of King Indassus, and gains a large loyal following of 32,741 people, as compared to the 112,056 active military personnel of the Royal Army of Vacith.
During this declaration, he is nearly killed by Vacith archers, and would have been if it wasn't for a loyal follower of his who dives in the way of the arrow and dies in place of Unyill, who is quick to flee as fast as he can. As he runs, guards attempting to pursue him are stopped and forced to fight with a group of seven armed rebels. Every rebel is killed, with four Royal Vacith soldiers dead.
King Indassus declares martial law (effectively enforcing a curfew and constant frisking of citizens by guards, as well as ceasing anyone from being able to leave Vancenii or the Domain in general).
Unyill escapes Vancenii and hides in the mountain forests of Vacith, just west of Vancenii, with an escort of 25 armed rebels.

9453 AD
Unyill dispatches a rebel emissary to Vancenii, as to officially declare a revolutionary war against King Indassus and his regime. The emissary, already fully aware that he'll probably be killed in retaliation, decides to assist in smuggling roughly several thousand rebel sympathizers out of Vancenii as to assist Unyill in the upcoming war prior to actually announcing the declaration of war to Indassus.
Following the declaration, Indassus chokes the emissary to death.

9454 AD
5,867 Nomad warriors volunteer to join Unyill's rebel force, which now bears the name of 'Vacith's New Monarch Revolutionaries,' commonly known as VNMR or 'Venmar Rebels' among citizens.
This brings the troop count of the VNMR from 12,856 to 18,723.

9455 AD
A Civil Revolt occurs in Vancenii and throughout the Vacith Empire, causing a splitting of loyalties and forces; roughly two thousand soldiers from the Royal Vacith Army defect to the VNMR, with civilian populations each differing in loyalties. This leads to the Vancenii Civil Riots, in which 2,430 people are killed. The Vacith Empire is split into two loyalties: The Indassus Loyalists under the command of King Indassus Salerno (simply refered to as 'Loyalists' or 'Greens' (due to traditional Vacith military uniforms) to the VNMR), and the Venmar Rebels under the command of self-declared King Toranius Unyill.
The First Vacith Civil War begins.

9456 AD
After a year of violence, but no direct military action aside from assassinations and attempted assassinations by both factions, Unyill smuggles his soldiers into the underground labyrinth of the Vancenii sewers as to pre-emptivley capture Vancenii and end the Civil War almost as soon as it's begun.
Quickly bursting from every opening available within the sewers and onto the city streets, the Venmar Rebels begin battling Loyalist soldiers, as well as butchering civilians loyal to Indassus.
During this battle, later known as the Third Battle of Vancenii, three months of brutal fighting and futile stalemates causes severe damage to the city's sophisticated architecture, as well as mass casualties on both sides. An estimated 14,600 people are killed during the fighting.
Finally, after routing around the near-impenetrable line of Loyalist soldiers and launching a surprise attack from behind, the Loyalist defenses begin to crumble and a clear path is opened to the Grand Palace.
After another two days of fighting as to ensure they've created a safe opening to the Palace, the Venmar Rebels knock down the Palace gates and enter the halls where a skirmish with Palace guards ensues. Finally, after seven hours of brutal skirmishes in the Palace, they reach the Throne Room only to discover that King Indassus has escaped somehow with a compliment of roughly 300 guards.
The Rebels secure the palace and massacre the rest of the remaining Loyalist soldiers, as well as Loyalist civilians who refuse to defect to the Venmar Rebels.
The search for Indassus begins.

9458 AD
King Indassus and his 317 guards are found hiding in the Penovar Mountains on the far eastern side of the Royal Domain of Vacith. In the battle that ensues (later known as the Battle of the Central Penovar Mountains) the entire compliment of Loyalist guards are killed, and Indassus stubbornly surrenders.
Indassus is taken back to Vancenii, where he is charged with killing and mistreating members of his own Royal family, corrupting the Royal bloodline, comitting murderous atrocities against his own people, and creating unjustified laws as to benefit himself.
For this, he is hung. King Indassus Salerno, the last of the Salerno monarchs, dies at the age of 40.
His body is hung by the hands, and is beaten to an unrecognizable pulp by his own people.

Cali Rajiin (Story Outline)

Cali Rajiin (main character) (Possible name, may be changed/ altered)
Post-Apocalyptic World- (North America, Europe, or both?)

Following a devastating pandemic disease, only several thousand people remain alive in the entire world due to a strange, very rare immunity to the virus.
Later known as the ‘Ancient Immunites,’ these people managed to spread out and begin to re-establish humanity over the course of eight thousand years.
Information of the mysterious generation that preceded them is very scarce due to the material breakdown of most sources of knowledge from the Age of the Ancients.
The last fracture of ancient human knowledge, invention, and structuring was preserved by a large, wide family lineage in the ancient city of Roma in the recently established Republic of Papio Dominio (formerly part of a land known as Italy in the Age of the Ancients).
The Republic safeguards ancient scientific knowledge, as well as the entire history of Roma and the rest of former Italy, going back before the Age of the Ancients to an age known as the Dawn of the Ancients, where a great Empire once sprouted from the very mouth of Papio Dominio.

The stories of self-propelling carts, flying machines, great world-wide networks of instant connection, fire-spitting spears, and weapons capable of ultimate destruction have become nothing but ancient myths to this generation, with some modern philosophers denying their existence and others attempting to prove them.

Religion has managed to survive the Great Extinction, and is a large part of non-Nomadic societal structuring. Different churches have sprung up all over Europe and North America, with the European Church of the Saints of the Ancients being the largest and most widely recognized in the known world.

Outside of established domains, Nomadic tribal societies hunt, gather, and fight among themselves and empirical domains for control of different areas and resources.
Some of these Nomads flee their Nomadic lifestyles to become parts of a working society, or flee and establish there own domains under tribal leadership.

Cali Rajiin, a young farm boy living in the Royal Domain of Vacith on the continent of North America, has been called up to defend his nation against Nomadic raiders who continue to plague the south with massacres of entire village populations, looting, pillaging, and kidnapping.
Fearful of what may happen to him, but fiercely patriotic, Cali agrees to join the Anti-Nomadic Crusaders of the Vacith Royal Servants with cautious enthusiasm.

Rajiin is trained for several years in the capital city of Vancenii, where he is dubbed with the Warriors Title of ‘Kexili’ (meaning ‘one who strikes bravely’) by King Kazo Unyill.

He sees action for the first time in the far south, where the Vacith Crusaders have been ordered to halt a group of Nomadic raiders before they reach the border.
As the fighting ensues, the Crusaders commander, Lord Jepyile Unyill, King Kazo’s nephew, order them to spare no one, even if they get on there knees and beg. He tells them that these savage cowards have no honor or decency, and that the world needs to be rid of them.
Cali realizes that only a very small handful of the Nomads fight back and only began to retaliate following one of their men dying due to an arrow in the heart.
He also quickly realizes that the majority of the Nomads are women and children who are also carrying more supplies than would be expected if they were planning to raid Vacith territory.

The Vacith Crusaders quickly subdue the retaliating Nomads, taking the surviving warriors and tying them to trees.
Lord Jepyile then orders the deaths of the women and children, and tells the Crusaders to kill the children quickly, but the women slowly as so the subdued Nomadic warriors may witness their bloody, painful deaths.

Cali is disgusted by the order, and quickly directly questions Jepyile.
Jepyile tells him that it’s both the will of the King, and the will of God, and as such must be carried out with unwavering loyalty.
Cali is still not completely convinced, and continues to question Jepyile, causing the surrounding Crusaders to stop and listen.
Jepyile tells him that anyone who fails to carry out the orders will be executed slowly and painfully for showing utter cowardice and committing the capital crime of treason.
Rajiin, still disgusted, realizes that if he wishes to live, he must do as he’s told.

He personally murders three women using a hot branding iron, and a fourth using a jagged knife to the spine. Following the fourth murder, he breaks down into tears and hysterically begins to cry.

Jepyile, preoccupied, doesn’t notice as Cali flees into the forest.
Cali finds temporary refuge in the bright forest where he continues to cry hysterically as guilt washes over him at an alarming rate.

He begins to perceive things differently; obviously the Nomads hadn’t been planning to raid Vacith territory. In fact, they didn’t appear to be raiding anyone’s territory. By the looks of it, they had been attempting to migrate either west to the Kingdom of Baja, or north to the Royal Domain of Vacith.

He begins to perceive serious faults and evils in the workings of the great Vacith empire, and also realizes that the ‘Lord’s Anti-Nomadic Crusades’ were indeed simply excuses to commit atrocities against the Nomad people.
Realizing this, he’s faced with three options: live in self-imposed exile in a distant land, ignore the faults and evils and re-integrate himself back into Vacith society, or organize an openly armed rebellion against the monarchy and revolutionize the current societal structure.

The latter would be a momentous task to take on, and would be quite a compulsively quick decision to make. To seize control of the entire Domain was one thing; to gain the peoples support, trust, and respect was another.
They believed and trusted the monarchy in almost every way, it seemed; he could tell them that they were all dead and in Heaven at that moment and they would believe him.

After living in self-imposed exile for six months in the capital of the Kingdom of Baja, the city of Nuevo Angelos, he gathers a small force of seven Bajanian mercenaries and sets off with the goal of eventually reaching Vancenii and attempt to set the stage for a revolution.
They travel unchallenged through the thick forests and sub-arid terrain of the Kingdom of Baja until they are stopped by a border patrol at the Vacith/Bajanian border, where, after failing to properly explain their reasons for entering the Royal Domain of Vacith, are forced to subdue the border guards if they wish to pass.
In the battle that ensues, two of the Bajanian mercenaries are killed, and the entire border patrol either incapacitated or dead. The leading Vacith officer is beheaded by Cali, who places his head in a bag as to later prove what he is capable of.

Rajiin and the remaining five mercenaries bury the dead, and then continue there venture towards Vancenii.
In the steep coastal mountains only a few miles from the capital, they’re ambushed by a group of nine bandits. Another Bajanian mercenary is killed after being taken completely by surprise, but Rajiin is quick to the sword and cuts down five of the bandits on the spot.
The remaining bandits flee, with one dying by an arrow to the spine as he attempts to escape.
Once again, Rajiin and the final four mercenaries bury one of there own, and burn the pile of six bandits until nothing is left but charred bones and ash. On the skull of one of the dead bandits, Cali etches the words ‘Kixi Kinu Konvul’ which means ‘death be upon the cowards.’

Two days later, they finally reach the Grand Gates of Vancenii, where they pose as pilgrims and enter, once again, unchallenged.
They are greeted by the Kings High Advisor, Kano Jevia, who shows them to a small pilgrim’s hostel near the center of the city.

During there stay, Cali hears rumors of another revolutionary who has been killed under mysterious circumstances. He hears mores rumors which seem incredibly sensational to him; the mysteriously deceased revolutionary had written a doctrine to which is rumored to have been known as ‘The Doctrine of the Ancients,’ which chronicled the ways in which the Ancients once governed their people.
Other rumors soon surface that the Doctrine is in the possession of the King, who plans to destroy it very soon. Cali, realizing this may be the document which could potentially spark a revolt against the monarchy, decides that he and his Bajanian mercenaries need to seize the document within the next twenty-four hours or risk there only opportunity at a better world.

Continuing to pose as pilgrims, Rajiin and his mercenaries request to see the Grand Palace and, if possible, speak with the King himself.
High Advisor Kano Jevia says he’ll see if anything can be arranged.
After being granted entry into the Grand Hall of the Palace, Cali begins to formulate a plot to obtain the Doctrine on the spot.
After a couple of hours, Kano reappears and states that the King has agreed to speak with them. As they enter the Throne Room, Cali remembers that he once met the King during his training to become a Crusader, and begins to fear that he may be recognized until he strokes his beard and reassures himself that he looks much different then he once did.

Finally, Rajiin and his four mercenaries stand before King Kazo Unyill of the Royal Domain of Vacith. The encounter went as follows:
“Who might you be?” Kazo asks in a confidently arrogant, yet unwavering voice.
“I am Kemell Hivlot, son of Temora Hivlot. I have ventured from the Kingdom of Baja to speak with his Excellency.” Cali replies.
“The Kingdom of Baja? And what causes you to believe that I will let any dirty Bajanian stand before my royal glow?”
“A Doctrine, m’Lord.”
“A Doctrine? And what Doctrine may that be?”
“The Doctrine of the Ancients. Word has reached my ear that you are in possession of the relic, Majesty.”
“What causes you to believe any such Doctrine even exists, Bajanian? Has it not been said that the Doctrine is nothing but rumor?”
“It’s truth, Majesty.”
“How would you know, young Bajanian? No one knows.”
“Because I am the creator’s brother. I watched as he searched for his answers, and I watched as he let the words spring from his quill. I watched him create it with my own eyes.”
“Impossible! This rumored creator is said to be Vacith, not Bajanian.”
“Yes, so it is said, m’Lord, but the truth is that after creating the Doctrine, he traveled here, to this Grand City of Vancenii, as so he could finish his research.”
“Bah! You have no proof.”
“Please, you’re Majesty. Rumor has also reached me that you plan to destroy my brother’s work.”
“It’s but filth; lies! There has never been a time without a Divine Monarch.”
“I believe that to be true, m’Lord, but it’s all I have left of my brother. Please, let me have the Doctrine. I swear on his grave that I will return to Baja as soon as I have obtained it. I will trouble you no more.”
The King stroked his beard thoughtfully for a few moments before finally looking towards Cali and saying, “Fine then. I shall give you the Doctrine, but I demand of you to leave the Royal Domain of Vacith immediately and never return.”
“Of course, m’Lord.”
“Also, young Bajanian, I wish not of you to confirm these rumors. Hide the Doctrine as you leave the city. I will not have any unjustified revolt on my hands. If word reaches me that someone has seen it aside from you, I will launch an invasion of your Kingdom of Baja. I will find you. I will kill you. Do you understand?”
“I do m’Lord. You need worry not.”
“Good. Heed my words strongly.”
“I shall, Majesty.”
As Cali turned to leave, the King creased his brow and said, “Wait, young Bajanian.”
Turning once again to face the King, Cali replied, “Yes, m’Lord?”
“Have we met?”
“Not that I can recall m’Lord.”
“Hmph. Strange. Go; let me be rid of you.”
“As you wish, Majesty.”

Finally, Cali obtains the Doctrine. He and his mercenaries are quick to exit the Palace, and return to the small pilgrim’s hostel to gather their belongings.
Cali works a plan in his mind. He would have to work a new plan carefully. How did he reveal the Doctrine to the people? He would need to reveal it quickly, with much exposure. He couldn’t afford it to be but a rumor. He would also have to raise a small army.

That night, he read the seven page Doctrine; it seemed to be not only a Doctrine, but a Manifesto for an ancient form of government known as ‘democracy.’
The Doctrine read as follows:

Et Julie 10,086 Gregorian calendar
Vancenii, Royal Domain of Vacith

The Doctrine of the Ancients

New Democratic Manifesto of the Age of the Ancients

Preamble: We the People of the League of Vancenii, in Order to form a more perfect Democracy, establish Justice, eradicate corruption, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Democratic Manifesto for the Royal Domain of Vacith.
My purpose in writing such a Manifesto spurs not from hate of my Domain, but rather from the love of it and the pride I wish to take in it. The wise man Tazill once said, “A government is best when it governs least”, so then why does the government of this great country do so much governing and exercise so much power? I truly detest oppression of any sort, and in this particular case, the iniquitous Monarch government is the oppressor. The role of the Vacith government has constantly been changing since the Royal Domain of Vacith declared independence from the Kingdom of Baja in 9401. Consequently, human knowledge has also advanced and changed. A Saint of the Ancients believed that “laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times.” It is very dubious as to whether the current government of the Vacith Empire has advanced with the same rate of progress, or in the same manner as the human mind has advanced. Over two hundred years ago, our founding fathers instituted a system of checks and balances, which should have withstood the test of time. Could it be time for an updated, more efficient system? Is a real democratic system even possible in the modern day and age, where power can truly reside in the people, and not in the corrupt, so called ‘divine’ “Monarchs” of the people?
Perhaps the task of becoming a real democracy can only be accomplished when a better understanding of the word democracy is reached. Education is the key to the success and long life of democracy. Since the people have the power of enfranchisement, the people must also have a firm grasp of the democracy they live in. The Vacith military trainer Magrelli Covote wrote that “Democracy depends upon intelligent understanding and understanding depends upon the precision and power with which our thoughts, our feelings, and our great emotions can be conveyed...

The words spurred something deep inside of Cali, and he began to detest many of the current systems of life. He was quick to start with his rejection of the Monarchy, and then began to detest the strong feelings his people felt towards the Monarchy; feelings the King didn’t deserve.

THIS IS A DRAFT FOR A PROJECT. ANY INCONSISTENCIES THAT MAY BE NOTED ARE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A DRAFT AND NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT.

Creativity and Coolness

ONE:
What is your definition of creativity?
Creativity, to me, is the ability to create something, whether it’s original or not.
True creativity is creating something that’s original, but takes minor elements from different things as to develop an idea to its utter fullness.
Like Star Wars for example; it took elements from things like World War II, Nazi Germany, modern military, and Planet of the Apes.

How important is creativity?
Creativity is incredibly important. Without it, we’d have none of our modern technology, no art, no music, and no simpler ways to do things, no cool looking clothes, and no interesting conversations. We’d be quite a bland species, and would probably often be depressed and incredibly monotone.
Thankfully, we’re quite the opposite.

How do you develop creativity in your life?
To develop creativity, you need to take in everything with an open mind.
You need to discover and retain knowledge, but perceive it and use it as you like.
You need to think outside of the box in terms of everything you do, see, hear, and feel.
You need to realize that not everything you do or think is going to please everyone, and that’s ok. Life would be quite boring without disagreements and compromises. It adds diversity to life.

Can your creative approach transfer over to different areas of your life?
Of course it can; for example: say you work in some sort of office. You wouldn’t expect to be using much creativity there, but you could indeed incorporate creativity in the way you approach things at the work place such as how you’re going to do something within the given time frame and deadline. You forgot you had to organize a cabinet for your boss: creatively organize your thoughts and your time as so it all works out to everyone’s benefit. Also, set up your workplace to your liking, but in a way as so you don’t lose your job.

TWO:
What is your definition of coolness?
My definition of coolness? I guess it would be anything that appeals to me like certain music, certain art, life in general, traveling, certain people, and certain places.
I don’t like screamo music, so I don’t think it’s cool. But I like rock, so I think it’s cool.
It’s quite an easy concept to grasp.

What are some of the elements which make something cool?
Hmm… long term interest in whatever it is, the overall appeal I feel towards it, what it may relate to, what references it uses, what it may symbolize, etc.
I really don’t know how to expand on that very much. It’s a hard question to ask due to its heavy orientation with opinion.

What is the media’s definition of coolness?
The media’s definition? It would have to depend on the media outlet you may be referring to. CNN sees coolness as wearing a suit and tie and showing up to report on the news every day. Ultimately, they think anyone that works hard to make money is ‘cool.’
Teen pop celebrity magazines see coolness as anyone who looks attractive, talks using long-overused slang and abbreviations (ex: that’s bunk! Yo, wazzup?). Those artistic magazines see coolness as anything that expresses an opinion and a perspective, but also includes anyone that wears slightly tinted glasses and walks around talking like they’re slightly stoned all the time.

What are some of society’s concepts of coolness?
Again, it heavily depends on opinion, outlet, area, group, and culture. There’s no such thing as one ‘society,’ only an interconnection between them all.
I guess the ultimate outlook on coolness would be attractiveness, kindness, understandability, sympathy, and empathy. Again, it differs, but as I see it that’s ultimately the overall outlook if you actually take the time to study peoples habits.

Review what you wrote, does question 1 and 2 relate to one another? Explain.
Yes, questions 1 and 2 do relate to each other quite strongly; you have to be creative, take initiative, and see things differently to be seen as cool and noticed by the rest of the world.
A lot of people go through there entire lives saying they’re going to take initiative, but as they see it, never actually ‘get around to it.’ They let things get in the way of what they want, and how they wish to be seen. People have got to stop doing that, and realize anything can be pulled off in any way at any time if you have the right initiative and belief that you can do it.
Being creative causes you to stand out of the crowd, making you easily distinguishable; that can lead to two different things though: people can see you as a weird, annoying sort of distinguishable, while others can see you as original, fun, and a bit enigmatic.
Also take into account that people may become jealous of what you’ve become, so chances are not everyone will actually like you. Just a heads up.

Well, that’s my views on the entire subject. Hopefully it was informative.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED AS AN IN-SCHOOL ESSAY FOR MY DIGITAL MEDIA CLASS. IT WAS NOT ORIGINAL FOR THIS BLOG, FOR ANYONE WHO MAY NOTICE ANY UNDERLYING INCONSISTENCIES.

Conspiracy Theorists

Yes, this is a follow up to my previous post, but branches off from it quite durastically so don't go trying to associate the two to any major degree.

Anyways, I find that alot of people create conspiracy theories as so they don't have to carry the resposibility for what occurs, or so they can find reason to dislike a certain thing.
The 9/11 conspiracies for one thing; maybe 9/11 was just one big conspiracy, but I wouldn't know. All I know is that it started with a group of people that were either bored and needed something to think about, or by a group of people who wished to find more reason to hate the Bush Administration.
They created alot of easily debunkable theories about the events that occured on that tragic day, and stuck strongly by them even when they were debunked the following day.

That's called having no life.

True, humanity was built by critical thinkers, and critical thinkers continue to contribute heavily to modern society, by some people that think critically are obviously doing it for either attention, or for lack of anything else to entertain them. People like that just end up complicating a problem even further, and causing more confusion and pain to people involved.

So here's to all you conspiracy theorists out there: stop overthinking every little thing that occurs unless you have definite proof. All it does is make things harder for everyone else.

Watched?

I've found that a good chunk of the people I've come to be associated with over the course of my 15 years on this Earth believe that they're constantly being watched by someone or something, whether it's another individual, a group, a corporation, a God, another sort of deity, a government, a police force, a military, a supernatural creature, some other sort of creature, plants, or even most (or all) of the above.

When I go to sleep at night, alone in my bedroom, I'm more than sure nothings watching me because I don't believe in any deity, my web cam is unplugged, my windows are closed, and my closet is open. If a corporation or even the government is watching me, they'd have to be incredibly professional.

But honestly, if the government or a corporation is watching me, I don't have anything to hide, so I have nothing to worry about. It's not like there's much they can do with any footage they may have of me unless they want to pitch the story '15 year old boy sleeps in a skips his P.E. class!' to a local newspaper. How incriminating.

Ok, honestly, I don't know if I'm being watched by anything or anyone, but I can assume I'm not being watched because I see no reason why something or someone would waste resources and energy to spy on a typical 15 year old kid.
So here's to all you 'conspiracy theorists' out there, quit looking for reasons to blame everything on the government by making up superstitious stories. It gets old and annoying really fast.

Egotism and 'One-Upmanship'

Honestly, I have quite a large problem with extremely egotistical people; or even slightly over egotistical people. Each of the above (and anyone who may be caught in between) always practice mockery and humiliation of others that they see as 'uncool' or less cool then them.
I'm willing to accept that everyone is egotistical to some vague level; but the normal, more kindly people are only very slightly egotistical, and in most cases its not easily visible.

I, like many others, have been a victim of mockery and humiliation in the past. Somewhere along the line I learned to either just laugh along, shoot it back at them, or completely ignore it, which eventually caused those people who once mocked and humiliated me to gain a respect for me, no matter how slight.
I'd have to admit that people like this have caused me short-term depression in the past, or have contributed to an already existing problem. I find it quite easy to laugh them off if they're simply acting like an idiot in an attempt to make me seem feeble, and I find it quite easy to ignore them or shoot it right back at them if they attempt to lip me off for some reason or another (with a majority of the time leaving it unreasoned), but when they physically annoy me (ex: poke me constantly, steal a hat/ pull off a hood) I tend to get upset and angry at them, especially if this harassment is accompanied by the other forms of annoyance, mockery, and humiliation.
If the harassment seems unreasoned, it's usually because they've made themselves look like an idiot by doing something stupid, so they have to pawn that stupidity off on someone else, so they practice 'one-upmanship' on the closest unaffiliated person, in which they belittle the victim for no visible reason, and cause the victim to become upset to at least some extent.

I really don't know what anyone can do to quell these sort of people, or to even put them in their place (aside from, you know, just outright punching them in the face) because we all know attempting to rationally talk to them about it only leads to more annoyance, mockery, and humiliation (providing they've got at least a couple of their friends around to continue supporting them in this venture).

These people are usually people looking to scape goat their problems or someone or something else, people trying to look cool, or people simply forced to do so as so they're not assaulted in the same way.

I just hope some of these people don't begin to wonder why I may outright break there nose, because most (if not all) have it coming.
That's not to say this happens to myself often, but when it does, it can really put an unnecessary dent in the rest of the day.
