    Donnie Darko is a movie about a young teen that experienced many abnormal things in his life that are said to be associated with a psychological disorder. Basically the movie is about an imaginary friend, Frank, (a demonic bunny with a scary voice) that only Donnie Darko can see and hear. Frank convinces Donnie into committing several acts of violence. He convinced Donnie that the world would end and gave him exact day, hour, and minute this was supposed to take place; He convince Donnie to go flood the school he attended and to even set fire to someone’s house; he convinced him he would be in great danger if he didn’t follow through with theses horrific events. Apparently the imaginary friend came from time travel and Donnie himself gets interested in the meaning of time travel and also finds that a close neighbor has also experienced what he has. Both of their experiences were just too similar to be only a coincidence for Donnie, so he believed in time travel very much. Could it be that they are just both experiencing the same abnormal psychological disorder and that is why the same signs and symptoms occur in the both of them. Makes you wonder!!…

    Throughout human history, great heroes have been created to triumph over man’s struggles. Most every culture has, in the past, told their own tales of heroes and their trials. These champions, while spread across our world and its ages, share some key characteristics with each other. This formulaic composition of heroes, while it can deviate, has stayed true since the dawn of history. This remains true with the Finnish hero god, Vainamoinen. (okay so his name has a bunch of umlauts and such but I can’t type that every time.)…

These “risks” can range from something as simple as sampling a new food, or something as bold as skydiving. Some people are natural risk takers; they live without fear and have no reservations when it comes to failure. Personally, I have never been much of risk-taker. In fact, I have lived a majority of my life in a very planned, deliberate and some may even say a very boring manner. Now that I am bit older I find myself at one of life’s critical crossing points. The question now is if I am going to stay firmly planted in my seat or use my parachute.…
