 Smile at a stranger     

I went into the library and walked around. Sitting occasionally in different spots to look around at the students in the library. If I made eye contact I would smile and if feeling awkward I would wave. Some students would feel awkward as I didn’t know them very well, on one occasion a smiled at a group of girls and they all laughed and left their table. I’m pretty sure I freaked them out. I thought it was weird how people think that it’s so out of the ordinary to smile at strangers. Being nice made me feel like a creep, I felt like my smile was weird and I was an odd-looking person in their eyes. Which was not the case of course. It was a fun experiment but definitely out of my comfort zone. Its interesting to see how we pay little to no attention to one another even with strangers.

David Lynch: How to Make a Ricky Board
This board can be any size you want
The proportions are dictated by four rows of five rickies
There should be twenty rickies in all
Each ricky is, as nearly as possible, exactly the same as every other ricky
The ricky can be an object or a flat image
The thing about the rickies is you will see them change before your eyes because you will give each ricky a different name
The names will be printed or written under each ricky. Twenty different names in all
You will be amazed at the different personalities that emerge depending on the names you give.

Here is a poem:
Four rows of five
Your rickies come alive
Twenty is plenty
It isn't tricky
Just name each ricky
Even though they're all the same
The change comes from the name

I smiled at a stranger. I smiled at a girl that I didnt know. And to my surprise she smiled back. I felt happy after that. It shows me that showing joy to others will bring joy back to you.

Instruction (2002)

• When you are walking, stop and smile at a stranger.

As a person who is awkwardly social, this instruction presented a challenge for me. So I decided to go with it and try something I never do; smile to strangers.

Feb 14, I start the challenge my smiling to every person I see on my way to class. Most of the time I get ignored, and sometimes I get a smile back, which is nice (being handsome has its own benefits). The most interesting experience was when I was working out at the gym and then walked to the water fountain. I saw a tall buffed guy and then smile at him, instead of giving me the weird look, ignoring me or smiling back. He just approaches me and asks me if I knew him. I said he looked familiar and ask for his name, then we start a small talk and then continue with our work out. 

Feb 15, I stayed in my Batcave playing videogames.

Feb 16, Me and a friend planned boys night, he invited people I didn’t know. So I tried the instructions in a “controlled” environment. So when the guests arrived I smile at then; they approach me and ask for my name and home country. Then we start hanging out and having a good time.

My experience: surprisingly manage to overcome my fear really fast. I always think about what would be the worst thing that could happen. But in the end, it was a normal experience, not good, not bad, just normal.

Instructions: Meg Cranston

Disclaimer: some liberty has been taken for this due to the required timeframe to properly do it. Also this is a poem based on the recent coronavirus outbreaks

The earth itself screams

It hollers in a cry of fear

Fear as red as the fall

It yells in a voice of hate

Hate as bleak and wide

As the old fields of salt

In her reply; a voice so silent

Like the subtle gusts of wind through her caves

But also booming and loud

Like the crashing of her plates and crust.

She states in the language of nature

The text of trees and 

I give onto you great pestilence!

A perfect replicant of your very worst!

It will strike you in the back;

Like Brutus to Caesar!

It will infect and spread

Like your very desire to conquer

It will leave you in your worst

Exactly how you leave your own

I will thrown you aside

Like a child with their toys

This very pestilence is the incarnation of you

Your very nature contained for one purpose

Destruction…

And in your place I leave your successor

I do not care who, or what they are

For I seek your utmost destruction

And absolute damnation of your kind.
