Hello If I had a magic wand I would create a box
Hi hahahaha
Hey
haha psych! You thought you were going to talk to someone else
Inside that box, I would create random things appear. Then I would walk down the street and give the box to random people
That's pretty neat. But what if bad things appeared in the box?
Haha. I actually thought it might be you again. Mainly because I saw you left, and then I didnt see you come back. Then a few minutes later it said there was someone there aga in again Then karma had it coming for them haha
hahaha true true. I think if i had a magic want that i would make everything that i ate taste super amazing.
Thats a pretty good one too.
It would also be pretty fun to teleport to random places in the world so i could travel for free.
That would have been good on some visits with some people on my mission. Haha
Maybe also make it so that i could speak any language too for good measure.
Languages are cool too! Do you already speak other languages
So i know a little bit of Spanish and a little more German, but otherwise i'm not very good in that department. I think that i speak English pretty good if that counts.
Thats better than me by far, I barely speak english. I speak a couple words in like 5 languages, but thats it While in LA I picked up quite a few things, but most of the time, I spoke english. Its crazy how many languages they have down there
Oh i'm sure. So i'm guessing you served English speaking then? And what are the 5 languages?
Ya, I served english speaking. While down there, I picked up a little of Tagalog(more of it), Armenian, Spanish (more of it), Korean, Samoan, and a little Chinese. I thought it was pretty cool and very diverse down there. Having so many different languages all around you. Its almost like visiting different countries just a walk away
That would be new for me. I grew up in a pretty Hispanic community, but otherwise i've just been around primarily white people speaking English. Though at BYU there's a decent ammount of diversity at least on the language level
Did you grow up in Utah, or somewhere else?
One of my good buddies speaks Tagalog Yeah i grew up in Arizona in a smaller community.
Ya, when I came to BYU I was told it wasnt very diverse, but yet, after coming here, ive realized its actually very diverse
Towards Phoenis Phoenix
oh thats cool. Whats phoenix like, Ive never lived there? or been there...
Living in Arizona is first of all very hot. It's pretty busy  and there's LOTS of houses. People from here think Utah valley is big, but Phoenix is just the entire Utah valley but full of communities/development.
Oh, I didnt realize it was so big When I pictured arizona, i think of tumbleweed
It just sprawls. Then you have different sub communities like Mesa and Gilbert where most of the mormon population is. I lived about 45 minutes away from that area and it was
oh, and cactus, I always think of cactus. Haha. Although, I knew thats not all what it was
pretty much just 10-15 LDS kids at my school/growing up Though the cactus and tumbleweed are pretty cool :) Otherwise its organized a lot like Utah in a pretty good grid system.
Wait... Are there really alot of tumbleweed and cactus Oh thats good, im glad their organized. LA is nothing like that. They are always sideways and backwards and up and down, and whatever other directions there are
Oh yeah. There's not typically grass in people's front yards, instead there's just ground up decorative rocks. Then throw in some desert trees/shrubs/cacti and there you have it. I actually miss the cacti sometimes. They're pretty cool
Oh, man, thats crazy to me. I grew up on a sod farm. We actually grow and sell grass for a living. haha guess it wouldnt be a great business down there. Ive seen the small cactus that can be grown around here. But Ive never see the "T" shaped cactus that you always see in the movies The ones where the bad guy is always falling on
Ha! Yeah that's the Saguaro cactus. They're actually protected by the state. And i'm sure that the sod business would do great.  The richer communities will have grass so they 'd probably pay top dollar for it.
Oh, maybe Ill go down there and open a business though. Is there a lot of open land in Arizona, or is it mainly city
Well since water is hard to come by there's tons of unoccupied desert wasteland hahaha. The cities just tend to all be congregated together, otherwise they are small towns. Northern Arizona however is at a much higher elevation and so there's a lot of people that live up there.
Do they have lots of farms or any kind of agriculture. Just curious if there are rivers or streams to get access to water
It's kind of like Utah Weather wise i mean
Mainly because having a sod farm requires a ton of water. Sometimes its hard enough here to get enough water for all the grass that we grow
Yeah so most of the water comes from dams and the Colorado river. Agriculture is actually really awesome/plants grow really well because the Nitrate levels in the ground are super high. But yeah getting the water is the hard part. We grow a lot of cotton and maize actually as exports.
Maybe ill grow a farm, then ill just go out and spit on it to water it. I think I can keep up with a couple of acres. Nah, Ill just stick to computer science with animation. It sounds easier and quite frankly more fun! I love doing digital media stuff.
Oh nice! Are you a part of the animation program? I hear that it's really difficult to get into.
I am applying this december for the computer science animation emphasis. There are two sides to the animation program one is the animation emphasis in the computer science program, and the other is the animation program in the fine arts side Im not that good with drawing nor do I really like to draw, however, i really like the vfx and cgi stuff. Thats why I think I will enjoy the computer science side of animation more. It just seems to be more fun to me to be doing it this way.
Ah. So you are operating more on the mechanics and beef behind the processing that employs models made by the animation fine arts side?
Ya, I think I like that  a little more. Although, I still like drawing, just not as much. I think drawing will still have huge advantages to getting into the industry. I actually think that it would be super fun to work at pixar or lucas films I think Lucas Films would be the best right now, because of their strong cgi and vfx part of the industry. It just seems with all the marvel, transformers, and star wars movies that they are just leading the pack by so far
Yeah that sounds like the definite best place to get. Do you just not like drawing or are you horrible at it like i am? I guess i could get better i've just never taken any professional classes or had any formal instruction.
