Week 2 Reading Overview

Hanuman Taking Sita's Ring
For reading the Ramayana, I will be choosing Option Two, the public domain edition. Not only because there's an audio version, but because I am most interested to see the different author styles for each episode. That alone reminds me of some projects I've seen in the past where different directors or artists come in to put their own style on different episodes of one overarching story.

I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but when it comes to comics? Of course I'm going to pick the ones that have the best covers! To me, the covers that caught my attention the quickest were Kumbhakarna: The Sleeping Giant and Hanuman to the Rescue: Hanuman Brings the Sanjeevani. I did look further than just the covers, but with this many choices it was how I narrowed them down quickly. Kumbhakarna is a name I've heard a lot of times, but never gone into any research behind so I'm excited to learn his story.

For the videos, the first choice was an easy one for me. I'm a lover of all things music, so seeing Bickram Grosh's Rhythm Jam on the list was a must-watch for me. Once I started watching, I couldn't stop until it was over! My second choice was Food for Gods by Epified. I chose this due to my interest in learning about foods from around the world, but also as I'm writing this, I'm quite hungry.

I chose the image above to connect with my comic choice about Hanuman.

Introduction to Me

Myself and Callie hiking in Arkansas Hey everyone! It's the final stretch (for me at least). This is my last semester before graduating here at OU, and I think it's awesome we get to write and read these blogs to get to know each other. I'm majoring in MIS and will be moving to an IT consulting job after graduation. I'll be staying local while working out of OKC. Easily the biggest thing to know about me is my love for cars. Ever since I was a kid collecting Hot Wheels, I've never stopped being a car guy. Now that I'm getting the opportunities to do so, I've graduated from Hot Wheels to real cars! I've currently got two: my 2015 Mustang is my daily driver, and I'm working on restoring a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo (both pictured below). The Porsche is a huge undertaking for me as it's my learning platform for mechanical skills. While I've done work on cars here and there, I've never taken on a full project like this. My 2015 Mustang

Week 13 Story: The Vampire's Invitation

Once upon a time, a man and his son were travelling across the United States. Stopping when needed at hotels, they slowly made their way stat by state. When they reached Oklahoma, they hadn't taken into account graduation season! All the hotels were booked and they were beginning to lose hope. One of the hotel managers mentioned that he knew where they could stay, but that there are rumors that it's haunted. Having no fear of ghosts, the two decide it would be fine to spend the night there. Shortly after settling in, they here a knock on the door. A strange man in a long, black cape stood outside. He said he too was a weary traveler and this is the only place he could find to stay. This man and his son did not want visitors, so they told him to go away. The man, starting to look desperate said if he could just step in for a minute he would be alright. The man at the door asks why he's so persistent to get an invitation into the house, and that's when he remembered tho
