1 Share the Badass Manifesto on the Badass Manifesto Live Like You Have a Pair 1 Share the Badass Manifesto on The Badass Manifesto Live Like You Have a Pair By Lisa Creech Bledsoe The Glowing Edge | Fight For It Dallas: Well... some of you may have figured out we're not home yet, we're only half way there. Mother's interrupted the course of our journey. She's programmed to do that should certain conditions arise. They have. It seems that she has... intercepted a transmission of unknown origin. She got us up to check it out. Ripley: A transmission? Out here? Lambert: What kind of a transmission? Dallas: Acoustical beacon. It, uh... repeats at intervals of 12 seconds. Kane: S.O.S.? Dallas: I don't know. Ripley: Human? Dallas: Unknown. – Alien, 1979 2 Share the Badass Manifesto on Shit you should know before you start First of all you may be asking yourself, could I write this book without swearing? The answer is yes. But I didn't. I don't plan to coddle you in other ways, either. There are plenty of websites and gurus who will give you the message that everything's fine, you're okey-dokey just the way you are, don't worry about those mean people – they don't understand you like I do, the timing isn't right, wait for your prince or ship or winning lottery ticket, etc. I hope you're sick of that shit. I know I am. The reason I wrote this is because I think you've been coddled for too long. You have a sneaking suspicion that there's waaay more to life, love, art, relationships, health, and work than you've gotten so far. The world isn't a perpetually sunny utopia filled with unicorns, with cupcakes and juice boxes for all. A call for badass warriors The truth is that the world is filled with opposing forces, battling for supremacy. I don't care if you're a dedicated pacifist (and some of these are the greatest badasses of all), our world needs warriors. People with inner zen and outer bad who never back down from a fight worth having. Badasses. Yes, a badass is a sinner (which makes you a candidate!), but they are also absolutely ordinary people. Authentic. They live on the edge, act despite their fears, and they don't tolerate bullshit. Sometimes they look isolated, and in fact that's part of what is hard about being a badass – people are glad to have you around so long as you're saving their bacon, but they also hope you'll go away so that they don't have to take responsibility for their own lives or feel bad about the busted crap everywhere. Badasses are not good to have around if you're trying to maintain the status quo. But they don't act alone, no matter how it appears. They have a posse. Mentors, trainers, a tribe. 3 Share the Badass Manifesto on And yes, there are lots of fun, lighthearted ways to talk about badassery. Jackie Chan is supreme at this; he has serious skills (Hapkido black belt, operatic vocalist, stunt man) but isn't afraid to make a goofy comedy. Facebook is filled with funny comments about being badass. If you haven't seen any of the badass puppy meme, you better check it out now, because it's epic. There are also plenty of people who will go down in history as being crazy motherfuckers who left a trail of bodies and destruction in their wake and never gave something wonderful to the world. That's not badass, that's just criminal. You don't have to be a felon to be a badass. But it IS in the nature of badassery to be destructive. Because there are a lot of things in this world that need to be stopped, broken, put an end to. If that makes you cringe, good. This book may serve you well in the same way that learning to be bad served me. Some things need to be torn down before they can be rebuilt. Where this is going My reason for writing this is to share a little bit of my journey (more coming on that below) and more importantly, show you how you can become a badass, too. The first section is a warning. Because this isn't for everyone, and it isn't necessarily pretty. I'll tell you what your three choices are, and you can decide what to do about them. And I'll tell you where I began this journey. In the second section, I'll explain to you at least 7 reasons why the odds are stacked against most people. You may find yourself on this list. It's my hope that you'll decide to forcibly rip your name off of it. Forever. I'll also give you a bit more about me, then share the 15 characteristics of a true badass. This is the first beating heart of the book. (There are two beating hearts.) (I know, that's a bit weird.) (You ain't seen nothin' yet.) In the third section, you'll hear what's possibly the most painful piece of my story. Don't worry, it 4 Share the Badass Manifesto on doesn't get gory. And it has a good ending, but the lessons definitely are not what you might expect. Then I'll tell you the single big thing you need to know before you decide you want to be a badass. And then you'll get right into the second beating heart of the book: How to become a badass and live like you have a pair. Thirteen principles to make you an ass-kicker like no other. The last section will ask the single most important question of the entire Manifesto: What are YOU fighting for? There's also an invitation to join the fight team I'm a part of, and a little taste of the Fight For It program. Here's what that looks like in Table of Contents form... The Badass Manifesto, Part One Warning A badass is made, not born Your three choices This is not an S.O.S. How I became a badass (part 1) The Badass Manifesto, Part Two The odds are against you How I became a badass (part 2) 15 characteristics of a true badass The Badass Manifesto, Part Three How I became a badass (part 3) So you wanna be a badass? How to become a badass and live like you have a pair The Badass Manifesto, Part Four What are you fighting for? Join the fight team Learn to fight for it Share the badassery 5 Share the Badass Manifesto on Who the hell am I? And how the hell do I know anything about this? Well, that's part of what I'm going to tell you. But for now you should know that I didn't start out asking to be bad. I used to think, “I'm not badass. Lieutenant Ellen Ripley is badass.” Which is why I let Sigourney Weaver's famous character from the Alien movies describe the way the fight comes to you, like it came to her and it came, eventually, to me. I'm not a huge fan of the “all you need is positive thinking” camp or the “manifest your way to inner peace or a million dollars” group. I didn't meditate my way into boxing. I love rainbow-wielding peaceniks but I tend to find my toughest problems impervious to their impact. My life has needed a 12 pound sledgehammer with a 36 inch fiberglass handle and a rubber grip more frequently than happy thoughts. Which is not to say I'm not positive-minded, or creative. I'm intensely both. My degree and career are in the fine arts; I've been a writer all my life. It's just that bad cultural training poured a layer of slow- hardening concrete over my soul and secured it in hard plastic clamshell packaging. That shit will kill you. As we go, my story will come out – most of it, anyway – and maybe yours will too. Why should you care? We are in the middle of a cultural, personal, corporate, communal, [insert your descriptor here] shitstorm, and somebody needs to tell it like it is and call up others to do the same. And more than that, we need to learn to bust a few heads and kick some butts. It's not complicated, I'm not writing a master's thesis here. Just a couple of quick notes about the warning signs all around you, the forces hoping to eat you alive, the lies you're telling yourself, the characteristics of badassery, and how you can live like you have a pair (balls, ovaries, you choose). 6 Share the Badass Manifesto on More fight power Also, I'm building a tribe of like-minded badasses, and I want you to be a part of it. If you're reading this book because you got it free on Amazon or Kindle or just forwarded by a friend, I hope you'll come join a fabulous group of fighters I'm connected with. Who do you give a wider berth to, when you're walking down the street: a lone badass or a whole freaking pack of them? Right. That's why we want you in the pack. There's fight power in numbers, and you may just find you could use somebody who has your back.

  • Real Life RPG, Or the VIDEO GAME PLAY by Reynaldo Piniella
    1 Real Life RPG, or THE VIDEO GAME PLAY by Reynaldo Piniella Commissioned by Baltimore Center Stage Ben Izzo A3 Artists Agency 350 5th Ave. - 38th Fl. New York, NY 10118 (646) 491-9383 [email protected] 1 2 When should you read this play? When you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired of being stuck in the house or just in need of a laugh, read this play. If you can, gather some friends and family and read it out loud. You’ll be laughing at each other by the end if it or laughing at me for thinking of this silliness. A Video Game Play? When I thought about what “Play At Home” meant to me, I realized that I’ve been playing a lot of video games at home these days. So, this play is based on some of my favorite RPGs (role playing games.) For those of you who know nothing about video games, don’t fret. You’ll get to wear cool clothes, fight with crazy weapons and save the world before going back to the beginning to do it all over again. Note This play is modeled after a video game demo where you’ll get to play the first mission of a broader narrative. This is just the start of your adventure, not the end. And because it’s a demo, it’s a work-in-progress not the final product. This play is a “choose your own adventure” so the choices you make will affect the world around you. Choose wisely. These life changing questions will be bolded.

  • Abstract Balance by Eva Snyder B.A
    Abstract Balance By Eva Snyder B.A. Music and Computer Science Mount Holyoke College Balance, a three-song extended play album, was recorded in Nashville, ​ Tennessee in March of 2017 and debuted during an evening length senior recital on April 15th, 2017 at Mount Holyoke College. This paper details the processes of networking, marketing, and recording I have undertaken to produce my first professional album in the country music genre. Throughout this year, I have explored entrepreneurship in a new light and seen firsthand the issues that come along with the music industry. Using strong networking skills that I have developed, I have crafted my own solutions to said roadblocks. I have utilized new apps to quickly grow a supportive fanbase and interviewed fellow artists of differing levels of success searching for advice. In addition, I have emailed, phoned and met face-to-face with industry professionals as well as produced three radio-quality original songs while working seamlessly with highly accredited engineers in Nashville. Reflecting upon this year-long adventure will provide me with useful insights as to what worked and what did not work in regards toward advancing my professional music career. In the years to come, I hope Balance​ will spark other recording projects and be the ​ stepping stone for me to become a successful songwriter in Music City. 1 BALANCE Eva Snyder 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank... My Dziadziu and Babciu for providing the music that accompanies my life My family for instilling music in me since before

  • A Quantitative Analysis of the Perceived Quality for Popular Movies by Consumers, Experts and Peers
    A quantitative analysis of the perceived quality for popular movies by consumers, experts and peers Student name: Ruth Bos Student number: 409141 Supervisor: Dr. P. Bhansing Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship Master Thesis June 8, 2016 Master Thesis “Quality time at the movies” Ruth Bos - 409141 ABSTRACT Academic research pertained to the marketing of motion pictures has identified the importance of quality on the commercial success of popular movies with indicators as consumer evaluations, expert ratings and peer-recognized awards as the Academy Awards. However, most researchers fail to analyze the quality of a movie as a measurement of performance of a movie. The current study extents previous research by aiming to measure the perceived quality of consumers, experts and peers for popular movies, based on the assumptions made on the success factors for commercial performance in previous marketing literature. Through a quantitative internet content analysis, data was gathered on the motion picture industry. The models were tested with a sample of 320 movies released between 2000-2015. Results show that the perceived quality of consumers overlap with the perceived quality of experts, which contradicts statements about the ‘little taste’ of consumers. Moreover, the data shows that there is a difference between the perceived quality of consumers and the commercial success of a movie, measured in box office revenue. However, for both commercial success and the perceived quality of consumers, popular appeal is still important for the satisfaction of the consumer. Managerial and theoretical implications, as well as limitations and directions for future research are offered.

  • A Sour Note in the Same Old Song: Determining and Protecting Ownership Rights in the Digital Age
    A SOUR NOTE IN THE SAME OLD SONG: DETERMINING AND PROTECTING OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE by Cory VanDyke* “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.”1 When this lyric was wailed by reggae legend Bob Marley in 1971, the music industry was very different than the one in which artists currently find themselves. Today, the music industry is almost synonymous with “pain” as an increase in illegal downloading has resulted in a large amount of financial loss and legal turmoil. From 2004 to 2009 alone, over thirty billion songs were illegally downloaded, resulting in an overall global market decline of approximately thirty one percent.2 In an effort to thwart digital piracy and protect their works, the recording industry has brought suits against over thirty-five thousand private individuals.3 Though litigation against individual consumers seems to be subsiding, a more important legal battle looms on the horizon due to a change in copyright law that took place nearly forty years ago. The Copyright Act of 1976, which actually took effect in 1978, arguably gave many musicians the ability to reclaim copyrights in their original creations, starting thirty-five years after a grant of copyrights was made, effectively terminating any rights that the artists may have granted (e.g. to record companies) when their songs were first recorded.4 On January 1, 2013, the first songs covered by the 1976 Act became eligible for reclamation.5 Now, with each subsequent year, a new batch of songs will become available for possible reclamation.6 Legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Bryan Adams have reportedly already filed claims at the United States Copyright Office on eligible songs.7 As one could imagine, these “termination rights” are not uncontested.

  • Sundial Final Edit.Indb
    HANA ANDRONIKOVA V Samsara I have always been intrigued by the fact that cows in India are sacred. They roamed unmolested through the Indian towns and villages, sometimes with a bell around their necks and a jasmine topknot on their heads, or with their heads gaily painted. But mostly it was awful. Gaunt, filthy and sickly, they munched away on pounds of rotting waste, idly eating up slops, paper, or bits of fabric they found by the wayside. Drivers, rickshaw men, and pedestrians risked their necks to avoid the cows that lay sprawled in the middle of the road. The unfortunate who accidentally bumped into one must face the outrage of the crowd. Cows had power. They could bring traffic to a standstill, and people showed them respect. Yet scores of them died of starvation. My mother would be brisk and impatient with Zam, who was as slow as a cow’s digestive system with its four different stomachs – abomasum, reticulum, rumen, and omasum. By the time anything finally labored its way the length of Zam’s grey cells, my mother’s nerves would be jangling, but I had no problem at all with his sluggishness. Zam would make dough out of water and dark, coarse wheat flour with a little bran. He would pinch off a bit of the dough, make it into a ball, and roll it out flat as a pancake. Then he would flip 62 THE SOUND OF THE SUNDIAL it from one hand to the other, and that regular slapping sound was music to my ears.
