I have a lot of subject ideas for project 4, but I'm not sure how they would work. I still like the idea of writing the first paragraph to a narrative and asking others to write a paragraph. I like the list idea better though. I thought about asking people what they thought about Morgantown (likes or dislikes) and asking people if they have tattoos. If so, what is it? What does it mean? People should tell a story about it. Pictures of these tattoos would be great. Tattoos involve both the meaningless and the personal.
My biggest concern with the project is how to do it. If I post something on my blog and ask others to respond, how many people will actually see it? If I post on my blog or facebook then I can ask my friends to respond, but I'd like for people I don't know to respond. Along the lines of the tattoo list, how many people will actually send pictures and how will they do it?

i don't like this and i like that
What I don't like.
Biting my fingernails
Onions
waiting tables
floods
Princesses
teachers that assign homework every day
unreliable friends
losing my keys as soon as I unlock the door
pets
whiny kids
Uggz
techno music
a bad mountaineer football season
watching my loved ones go overseas again and again to fight a rich man's war
scary movies
bleach blonde hair
baggy clothes
computers!
the increasing number of psychological disorders
driving long hours by myself
people who know everything
students that attend WVU and are surprised to hear a souther accent
learning spanish
heavy beer
dreadlocks
split ends
fighting with my mom
tea
breaking up
being late
What I like.
reality shows on VH1 & MTV
Tina Fey impersonating Sara Palin
rain
sleeping in
Johnny Depp
blue
parliament lights
drawing things i see
taking pictures
Ashley Judd movies
Halloween
figuring out something really complicated
softball
long phone conversations
writing letters
reading law books
Messing with someone's facebook account when they leave forget to log out
pirates
laser tag
air hockey
orange, yellow, and red leaves in Fall
the spanish word tiquismiquis (which means picky)
I could ask others to add to the likes or dislikes list. I'm sure it would be as random as the submissions to Lost. I like when people make these lists on their facebook because you can learn a lot about a person by learning what they'll admit about themselves to the general public. How truthful are you? Do you express your feelings to others? Regularly? Never? Are you spontaneous--can you say the first thing that comes to mind? My lists reflect my personality fairly well, but they also reflect my reservation of more personal experiences. For example, I listed "breaking up" under stuff I hate, but I didn't specifically say what I don't like about breaking up. That's a little too personal for the public.

Project 4 Ideas
In class right now, I'm completely entertained with Learning To Love You More. I like the idea of prompting many people to do something. I'm thinking mostly about writing the first paragraph to a story and asking a bunch of people to write another paragraph. This idea reminds me of a game that my brothers and me used to play when our family would make long car drives. We created a story by taking turns saying a word, but the order had to follow the alphabet from beginning to end. That's a good idea too, but it would require too many people.

Arnold bamboozled Schwarzenegger.
This poem was created using the workbook, English Brushup, for English 302: Techincal Editing. The nouns in the poem are answers from the workbook. I liked the Noun + 7 alogorithm, so I wanted to use something similar. I looked up the verbs in The New American Webster Dictionary. Verbs were selected by flipping through the dictionary and selecting the first word on every twentieth page. All of the verbs are in past tense. The prepositions were selected from a preposition chart (reading left to right) in English Brushup. I created the pattern of the nouns, nouns, verbs, and prepostions:
1 2 v 3 p
1 v 2
1 2 v 3 p 4
1 2 v
3
1 v 2 p 3
1 v 2
1 v 2 p 3
1 v 2
Similar to any other modern text, I like the nonsensical storyline. I also like how some proper nouns were separated by verbs, for example, "New tried Orleans". I don't know what some of the verbs mean, but in some lines, my ignorance adds to the humor. One example is "Arnold bamboozled Schwarzenegger". Overall, I'm happy with the outcome of this alogorithm. Although it was a little time consuming, methodically creating the poem and then reading the poem for some sort of meaning was entertaining.
Part 2: Psych paper cut up

Several alogorithms were also applied to this text. First, I took part of a psychology paper about women and Dependant Personality Disorder and put it through the Lazarus Cut-Up. The text was cut up (4 words per strip), transgenderized (both ways) and rasta racked. I then cut up that text in the link Cut Ups Self Explained (4 columns). In the second paragraph I transgenderized (both ways) the first paragraph again, then cut up the text (3 columns).
I enjoyed my new psychology paper because of the irrelevance of the many disfigured psychology terms, in which I think the meanings of many of these words are confusing anyway. The two paragraphs are very similar, but notice that the first paragraph refers to a husband more often than the second paragraph. This happened because the first paragraph was transgenderized against my original paper that was primarily about women. Many new words were created in the two alogorithms, such as "woions", "wocated", "decisionibility", and "multicultuributed". "Bangarang" appears several times in funny situations, so Steve looked it up:
Bangarang (according to the Urban Dictionary)
1. Battle cry of the Lost Boys in the movie Hook.
2. Jamaican slang defined as a hubbub, uproar, disorder, or disturbance.
3. General exclamation meant to signify approval or amazement
This might be a cut up, but I'm assuming that bangarang is a result of rastaracking.
Some interesting phrases were also produced, such as "some symptoms of dis ya bangarang these children, depend on a wife’s else" and "woions ago". "Woions ago" sounds longer than eons ago, so woions ago might go as far back as the beginning of time.
Overall, I'm happy with my new psychology paper. The cut up words and nonsensical rastaracked tone sounds like the author of the paper came from a part of the world that used to speak English, but since they moved to the jungle, their English has transformed.
Part 3: Solitaire in English?
I was looking for a juicy story to play with, so I let the story solitaire create one for me. The generated story was really mysterious, but it didn't have a story line. I thought maybe a story line would develop from translating the solitaire story to Spanish to French to Greek to English again.
Starved for the humain contact, rôde the night. In the moment of discovery, the interruptions thinly d'? a cry their lip and their hands they upset jusqu'? in the cover the confrontation more fast by? the eye can see. Strike with the leg to the abroad, turning his body in a effort for escape. The new rich person, this I wish to be in the discretion. In to landscape sad unpeopled, this soña his pale hands, the beauty of his fingers d'? ahusamiento. It hears the quietness, separating the quietness of loneliness of quietness common hope. the lighting it discovers his confrontation. In to apretón confusion of also despair, it turns where they have been found. Glistrietai maintained between the buildings. Tandis qu' with the night, his thoughts reveal in tons a mark his colour that is wetted blood is presented sometimes to be separate to the abroad through that is upset his hands. The landscape is wide and cold and only. It reaches brought to despair to they were for but. it has dreamed this dream. Between that breaks buildings of brick that are abandoned with his windows defeats, exhaustions of their fire aherrumbrados and. the hands of fraud. Now his shade is presented in his dreams. It will say his but. The votes? Echoey continues him. A mysterious concealed void reigns in the hands of marvel. Settles papayes? a twilight in the city. The high buildings are converted the shades. This soña in a new woman with the abundance and the beauty. It so much imagines in cerebral and in aware as she is open and spontaneous. distant.
No story really develops; however, some ideas expand. For example, the translated version talks a lot more about buildings and dreams. I'm not sure these make a good story, but the structure of sentences are interesting. Some of the phrases still have the main idea, but is similar to a foreigner's tone, similar to the cut up of my psychology paper.
Below is the original:
Hungry for human contact, he prowls the night. In the instant of discovery, a thin cry breaks from her lips and her hands flutter up to cover her face quicker than the eye can see. She kicks out, twisting her body in an effort to escape. A rich, goodlooking young man wishes to be in touch. In her bleak unpeopled landscape, she dreams his pale hands, the beauty of his tapering fingers. He listens to the silence, separating the silence of solitude from the silence of shared expectation. A flicker of light discovers her face. In the grip of confusion and despair, he returns to where they met. He glides quietly among the ghostly buildings. As he slips through the night, her thoughts unfold in him. Sometimes a stain the color of wet blood seems to spread out across his restless hands. The landscape is vast and cold and lonely. He desperately reaches out for her but. she has dreamed this dream. Among the abandoned brick buildings with their shattered windows, their rusted and broken fire escapes. the hands of deception. Now her shadow appears in his dreams. She will tell his fate. Echoey voices pursue him. An eerie dark emptiness reigns over the hands of miracle. A milky twilight settles over the city. Tall buildings become ghostly shadows. He dreams a young woman of wealth and beauty. She imagines a twin as cerebral and conscious as she is open and spontaneous. She slips away.

Google's Thoughts about Jack Dempsey
My dad and my brother's name is Jack Dempsey. This is also the name of a famous boxer in the 1920s and the name of a fish.
Googlism has this to say about Jack Dempsey:
jack dempsey is very very aggressive it will eat everything i have put in the tank
jack dempsey is the meanest fish in the world
jack dempsey is an aggressive
jack dempsey is a very aggressive cichlid which can come in many colors
jack dempsey is considered by many as one of the greatest boxers pound
jack dempsey is that he also fought hundreds of exhibition matches against hapless opponents
jack dempsey is a pretty fish that is very aggressive
jack dempsey is currently in the top three fish of the week and cannot be voted for until next week
jack dempsey is the best fish around to me
jack dempsey is the most beautiful fish to me
jack dempsey is considered to be one of the most popular heavyweight champs of all time
jack dempsey is the son of hiram and celia smoot dempsey
jack dempsey is little known
jack dempsey is one of the most popular “pet” fish
jack dempsey is a popular beginners cichlid
jack dempsey is also scheduled for an exhibition fight in nearby stockton the following monday
jack dempsey is a good breeder and parent
jack dempsey is appointed champion after winning an elimination tournament
jack dempsey is being besmirched
jack dempsey is as great a chap in
jack dempsey is famous because he was the heavy weight boxing champion of the world for seven years
jack dempsey is named the greatest fighter of the first half of the century
jack dempsey is named after a famous heavy weight champion
jack dempsey is on hand to see romany win the jack dempsey purse on february 11
jack dempsey is scheduled to meet jess willard for the heavyweight championship of the world
jack dempsey is a bigger hero to me than babe ruth
This is funny to me because any time I'm with my dad or brother and they have to give their name to someone (for the sake example I'll say to a cashier), if the cashier is of a younger generation, they will almost always relate my brother's (or dad's) name to the fish. If the cashier is of an older generation, they will almost always relate my brother's (or dad's) name to the boxer.

My Mixed Up Poem
My poem is a remix of a technical description of coal that I wrote for English 305. I used the Lazarus Corporation to cut up the text (4 words at a time) and add a rasta rack. I cut up that text again (6 words at a time). Here is the result:
Remains ta create coal. explosives, and efficient heavy machinery ta explosives and or ready ta bun. most underground mining. srip accumulation surface mining and remains of plants fossil fuel, an electricity, it must from seams matter carried off by di two primary methods of mining are obtain that are close ta di sediments continuously water or ice) as sulfur. color and is combustible, is mainly composed of elements, such animals in rocks with a coal is a sedimentary (I-tal mined and transported. reach seams that are too of di surface. underground cover and stip coal can become carbon and other and otherwise. shaped and shiny. rock is a areas, sand and other smaller equipment, minor extract coal compact di surface mining includes before black or brownish-black debris content, that dis ya typically when mining involves using using irregularly plants and other types are be digging techniques ta high carbon die in swampy far underground ta
I like what the Lazarus Corporation did because I'm focusing on the words instead of what they really mean. (This is what I do when I read a boring technical description anyway).
The following is the original text:
Coal is a fossil fuel, an accumulation of the remains of plants and animals in rocks with a high carbon content, that is mainly composed of carbon and other elements, such as sulfur. When plants and other debris die in swampy areas, sand and other sediments continuously cover and compact the remains to create coal. This typically sedimentary (organic matter carried off by water or ice) rock is a black or brownish-black color and is combustible, or ready to burn. Most types are irregularly shaped and shiny. Before coal can become electricity, it must be mined and transported. The two primary methods of mining are stip surface mining and underground mining. Srip surface mining includes using explosives and heavy machinery to extract coal from seams that are close to the surface. Underground mining involves using smaller equipment, minor explosives, and efficient digging techniques to reach seams that are too far underground to obtain otherwise.

I like what the Lazarus Corporation did because I'm focusing on the words instead of what they really mean. (This is what I do when I read a boring technical description anyway).
The following is the original text:
Coal is a fossil fuel, an accumulation of the remains of plants and animals in rocks with a high carbon content, that is mainly composed of carbon and other elements, such as sulfur. When plants and other debris die in swampy areas, sand and other sediments continuously cover and compact the remains to create coal. This typically sedimentary (organic matter carried off by water or ice) rock is a black or brownish-black color and is combustible, or ready to burn. Most types are irregularly shaped and shiny. Before coal can become electricity, it must be mined and transported. The two primary methods of mining are stip surface mining and underground mining. Srip surface mining includes using explosives and heavy machinery to extract coal from seams that are close to the surface. Underground mining involves using smaller equipment, minor explosives, and efficient digging techniques to reach seams that are too far underground to obtain otherwise.
