conventions

From Comic Con, to Wizard World, geek conventions showcase comics, film, television, and all things geek.

Our Logic Differs
In an argument with a colleague, I came to the understanding of why I often get into such heated debates with others and why it's so difficult for me to get my point of view across to others. The subject of the debate isn’t really important, what matters here is the fact that we both could not get through to the other. This led us to a 2-hour-long argument where each party presented their points, and it was not convincing enough to sway the other from their position.

SDCC Schedule
Saturday is probably going to be the biggest and busiest day of San Diego Comic Con. Most people that bought single day passes bought them for Saturday and it is routinely the first day that sells out. I am personally not setting foot in any of the bigger halls on Saturday so I am hoping that everything that I want to hit will be easier to get into. That said I am also hoping that I left myself enough time to get in line for the things that I think are important. I think I have figured out a strategy for these bigger conventions so let’s get to my Saturday schedule for SDCC.

San Diego Comic Con
The schedules for San Diego Comic Con are now being released and my little nerd heart is very happy. There is going to be a lot going on all weekend but Friday will probably be my busiest day work wise. I already have some interviews lined up. Figuring out the schedule for the weekend is leading to some really tough choices. I am simply too nerdy for my own good and it is taking just so much effort to choose what I want to do. All that said, let’s get into my very tentative and hopeful schedule for Friday at SDCC.

Every worthwhile endeavor is going to require a combination of; effort, energy, consistency, determination, motivation etc. Even for something as mind-blowing as winning the lottery will still require a combination of these elements.

Anime Expo
This year I am going to my first Anime Expo. There are a lot of cons coming up and I am going to be very busy towards the next few months and Anime Expo kicks off my con season. As I have just recently started getting into anime I don’t know a lot of the shows and manga that have panels going on but I am using this as an opportunity to learn about some new things and find my next hyperfixation. I will be pretty busy on Saturday and on Sunday I do just get to kind of wander the convention floor and see if there is anything that I want to spend money on. But you know that I really love to share my convention schedules with you guys so here is my Anime Expo plan!

Beneath the Surface
Certainly! Here's a story titled "Beneath the Surface": --- In the quiet town of Crestview, nestled beneath the shadow of towering mountains, there was a lake known only as Stillwater. Its name derived from the eerie calmness that perpetually hung over its surface, reflecting the sky like a flawless mirror. Locals spoke of its mysterious depths, where legends whispered of forgotten treasures and dark secrets. Among the townsfolk, young Sarah had always been drawn to its tranquil allure.

Unraveling the Notions of Love and Capitalism through The Maxton Hall Series
We all love the romantic trope of enemies to lovers that serves a slow burn, leaving us gasping for air amidst the sizzling chemistry of the main characters, diving us deep into the escapism of their romance. Adolescent angst and feelings take centre stage in this show, which is perfect if you enjoy typical high school teen dramas. Your heartstrings will be pulled by the series' poignant depiction of love. The series is unique because of its sharp lines, which strike a deep chord with us. Amazon Prime’s most recent release Maxton Hall embodies the romantic dramatism of the pro-capitalist enemies of lovers James and Ruby, giving us a breathtaking onscreen presence yet the predictability of the plot and the fine crevices of incompleteness in the evolution of the subplots hampers it from being a massive feature of swoonworhty foes to romantic partners. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the series

Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the plot.

Innovative Approaches: Applying Ancient Indian Wisdom to Contemporary Management
Ethos is derived from the Greek language originally meaning “accustomed place” or a character that one shows while in the face of challenges. Ethos can be described as the characters, disposition, and values of a particular individual or community that drive their actions and fuel them to make the right decisions at the right time. Ethos is not peculiar to a particular style of dressing or following a religion. It is deeply rooted in a person’s psyche that empowers and motivates him to build the foundations of what he stands by in his existence. The collective spirit of a community that builds unity in them and roots into their consciousness as a guiding force is the literal meaning of the term ethos.
