College Choice: SCAD vs. Ringling

So the question I have been getting has been why SCAD? Why not Ringling? Well let me tell ya why.

Both schools are great schools, but in the end I had to choose one. To me both schools where the same. They had a great program, great student life, great people, great teachers ect. But when I looked at it there was one thing that made SCAD stand out... Location. Now both are in the south but what I mean by location is the surrounding area. SCAD is in the beautiful city of Savannah. It has been rated as the USA's top 10 most beautiful city's. It has hundreds of shops and restaurants to go to. Now I understand Im there for school, but i need things to keep me occupied for four years, and thats something Ringling couldn't offer. At Ringling, even if I had a car Im an hour from Tampa and 2 hours from Orlando and 4 hours from Miami. And the only thing that appealed to me in the area was the beach. (But how many times can I go to the beach?) Also Ringling seemed to be more of an animation driven school where as SCAD appealed to all majors not just one. 

So in the end I had to pick one and I did. SCAD. I will always have a place in my heart for Ringling but I just couldn't see myself there. And I am very excited to get started on my classes this September!

Significance of 23: 23

So Whats The Deal?

23… What’s so extraordinary about it? Really, it’s just a number right? So what if it’s the same atomic number of vanadium, or maybe that Michael Jordan and Don Mattingly’s number was 23 when they both played there respective sports. Or that Julius Cesar was stabbed 23 times?  Or is it that the avogadro constant is written as 6.02214179(30) x 10^23. (10^23? Interesting…) Or is it something more? To me, 23 mean everything. Without it I don’t exist, you don’t exist. Every human has 46 chromosomes, which are 23 sex chromosomes from each parent. To me, without 23, I’m non-existent. I’m not here today.

By now your most likely thinking I’m just some insane person rambling on about a stupid number. And I wouldn’t condemn you for thinking that. But 23 is special to me because, well, without it, the 23 sex chromosomes from both my parents may have never formed to create me and who I am today and October 23^rd, 1992 could have just been another typical day. On that cold morning on October 23^rd 1992 I entered the world. At that moment, the sun stood still for just a few moments as it welcomed me into this new place I would call home. I took my first breath and braced for what my life had planned for me. And now only 18 years later, I have learned and experienced so much, that I couldn’t hold all of my life’s reminiscences to myself. I felt that I needed to share them with the rest of the world for everyone to hear. I’m Justin Martin, born on the 23^rd of October, and this is my story of who I am and how I came to be.

Significance of 23: Disney?

D23 was introduced on March 10, 2009 by Robert Iger during the company's annual meeting in Oakland, California. The name D23 refers to Disney and 1923, the year the company was founded. The goal of D23 is to communicate with Disney fans by "placing them in the middle of the magic."^[1]
The major components of D23 include a Web site, Disney twenty-three (a quarterly publication), yearly member gifts, member events, member exclusive merchandise, and the D23 Expo, a Disney fan convention dubbed "The Ultimate Disney Fan Event".^[2]
At launch, D23 featured one level of Charter Membership for $74.99. For 2010, D23 introduced two levels of membership featuring different prices. Charter Memberships became Gold Memberships, and a $34.99 Silver Membership was introduced which included all the benefits of Gold with the exception of the quarterly publications "Disney twenty-three."
The D23 Web site features comic strips, breaking Disney news stories, event information, "This Day in Disney", and a "Walt Disney Archives" section, where visitors can view some rare pieces of Disneyana.
Starting August 2, 2010, D23's website added a new page called "D23's Disney Geek", a weekly video newsmagazine hosted by Jeffrey Epstein of D23 about the latest news from the Disney universe. That day also saw the site's slightly new overhaul, with a new slogan—The Official Disney Fan Club—and mascots Chip 'n' Dale. On November 9, 2010 a new weekly sister web-series titled "Armchair Archivists" premiered. Hosted by Steve Czarnecki & Josh Turchetta, 2 Disney employees (and D23 members) who showcase assorted treasures such as props, costumes and lost film clips from the Walt Disney Archives to the viewers.
