Anti-Hero

Hello my name is Tanner, and thanks for clicking the link to get on to my blog. The heroic archtype I could see myself as is anti-hero, because most of the time you see me im just goofing off or around. You would be able to compare me Homer Simpson. The way I am considered to be like him is because us both are usually set up somehow to end up messing up or failing. Though I mess up I usually end up resolving the conflict some way. I am also really unorganized and can get a lot of items lost or misplaced. When I mess up I hope to be able to laugh at myself or let someone else be able to put a smile on their face. When it comes down to it I am just a careless guy, but can also be serious.


The Quest For Identity


The quest for me is to make my name known. My career goal is to become a sports broadcaster. I believe that I have a good knowledge of sports. My goal behind the "mic" would be to be able to clearly give a clear description of what is going on. It would be the perfect job for me, because I love sports. The way I will achieve the goal of mine is to go to college and get a job somewhere. Some obstacles I have to overcome is to get good grades, and have a better resume. I hope that it will show others that anyone can follow their dreams and do what they want to do. I hope to be a great influence on other people. It is important for me to accomplish this goal because I have wanted this career since as long as I can remember. If I am victorious it would make me feel achieved.

The Mentor


My father is the one who is my archetypal mentor. He has always been there for me since the day that I was born. If I have ever had a problem he has always been there for me. My dad is just like my mentor because he is the one who has taught me the difference between right and wrong. He wasn't only my dad, but as well as a coach for when I played Pee Wee Football. My dad and I would work outside so he could teach me all he knows about Football so that I would have the knowledge of Football and that I know what I needed to do on the field when it was game time. My dad is one of the most interesting people you will meet.

The Threshold Guardian


My threshold guardian is not a person, but a place. The place being a Football field. I have grown up playing Football. I started playing when I was in 1st grade playing Flag Football. Since then I have overcome having to try and conquer with my shortness in structure. When I play Football I leave all I ghave on the field as if it is a battlezone and my team and I are trying to win the war.l Unfortunately there are loses in the sport you need to just need to dust yourself off and get right back out there and try again. As well as that everyone loses sometimes.

Shadow

I believe a shadow in every ones life is technology. Though technology is apart of our modern civilization it can sometimes distract us from accomplishing our goals that we want to try and achieve. All technology is useful, but can also be distracting. An example is the iPhone. The iPhone has technology that is useful but has some items that are not necessary. All the applications on the phone is cool to have, but is it neccessary to have internet on it? It helps alot people out, but is it worth paying the money for it?

Trickster

My trickster in my life goes by the name Blake Clickner. He is one of the youth pastors at my church called Community Life (CLife for short). If you meet him you will think that he is just goofiest guy there is. He is so funny you'd think he had writers to make him sound goofy. He makes learning about God a lot more interesting. He makes your life interesting. Although he is a trickster he can serious as well when it comes to speaking about God. Blake as well helps me out when I have problems. I look up to him a lot, because of what type of person he is. I also respect for when he can admit when he was wrong for his past sins.

Helped from divine or supernatural forces

The force that help me when I don't feel like I can make it. It is Jesus Christ. Sometimes when I am down he is the only one that can help me get through the day. Just knowing that he died for our sins just shows how much he loves us. It makes me feel that he decides our fate and that it is out of our control.
