Once again, sorry about the lack of journal entries.
Thats a lie, actually. i'm not sorry. Ill do it again.

College has begun.
it started out pretty slowly. but then all of a sudden it got good and crazy.
Not quite crazy enough, but acceptably crazy.
The teachers coordinate their onslaught, so that several huge projects will be due the same day.
But freshman year here is designed to weed out the weak. We've already lost a few people, and others have begun dropping classes to lighten the load.

Unfortunately, college is hardly any different from high school. or it is and none of the other freshmen understand that. little cliques have already begun to form. this is both sickening and highly amusing.
I've never been a fan of cliques. I don't even have a facebook, to the dismay of many here.

The teachers here are generally great though. some are very brutal, but i really really prefer it that way. No quarter is asked, and none shall be given.

More arts for you all soon. i promissse...

Oh dear, no journal entry in three months? tsk tsk..
but the babble is dead, #zombie is dead, i just dont get to talk to many of youse anymore. it saddens me.



im done with high school, and i am really enjoying the lazy summer days so far.
i have no interest whatsoever in going to college, but i suppose ill have a better chance of making some sort of income as an artist with a degree in some marketable form of art.
if not, the army will probably still be calling me, maybe i can join and get to play with missiles.

in other news, i had a little gallery exhibit a month ago, i called it "tool time", and it went rather well. lots of pretentious artsy farts, but dealing with them is just part of the job. we got ahold of some nice live music, some ice cream, it was a good time. hopefully "son of tool time" will happen before the summer is dead.

I havent done much since the summer started, art-wise, but i'm getting there. ive gotten sick of video games and t.v again, so its only a matter of time before boredom forces me to create.

Yeah.

The Will Always Negates Defeat.

two months without a journal update? several weeks without submitting arts?
what could possibly justify such neglect?

fuck if i know..

i suppose my growing distaste for this website, and the internet in general, is to blame...i'm finding that this form of communication doesnt really agree with me anymore..

i'm getting tired of logging onto this website's main page to find piles of myspace-esque pictures burying those rare pieces of decent art. I mean, i love seeing what you all look like.By all means, An occassional picture of yourself is great, everyone needs an ID, and theres nothing wrong with putting up a new one every so often.

But i keep finding deviants with galleries full of NOTHING but pictures of themselves. no other artwork or anything to justify it...just...Literally, six solid pages of photos taken of themselves. in the same pose. in the same room, at that same angle.

they are never even looking at the camera either...like they somehow caught themselves off guard ...



Anyhow, now that im done ranting about that, ill fill you in on what has been going on in my life in the past two months.
because you're all dying to know, yes?


In two days i will once more begin a four-week long course in painting at keystone college.Hooray!

I am attempting to take an AP test in studio art, which is already loads of fun. i sure hope i can pass, itll save me lots of money.

my theme for the artwork ill be submitting for the test is still changing on a daily basis, but right now, it is centered on-

-the interaction with everyday objects,(via desctruction)to give meaning to said objects. this may or may not also serve to depict the descructive nature of all human beings.

-the idea that in destroying these objects, i learn so much about them and i realize things i would never see otherwise. The catch is that i learn about the object by destroying it, and in the end the thing ive become so familiar with ceases to exist at all.. (i've got to work on the wording for that bit...hopefully ive somewhat explained my idea)

Also, i've sent in my enrollment deposit for the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, if all goes as planned ill be moving down to lancaster mid-summer-ish. This will prove interesting, as i will have to live in an apartment, on my own.
I will surely die of malnutrition.

If anyone is interested in moving in with me and/or feeding me, by all means say so.



Hmm...thats all i can think of to say right now...ill upload more arts soon, i promise.

I wear too many masks, to please too many people. what used to be under them is probably long gone by now.

I turned eighteen on the twenty-second of january. I can now buy porn and cigars. Add duck tape and youve got everything a man could ever need.
So far i've gotten a few fancy imported cigars, new headphones, and a ton of gift cards.

I havent been doing much artwork recently, as ive been busy with work and birthday celebrations. My apologies.

The scholastic contest i mentioned last month is over, and the only piece from my portfolio that made it was Octo [link]
This was very discouraging at first, but i realize now that i'll just have to remind them WHO TEH FOOK I AM!

....yer a wizard, harry.

I've been given the task of making t-shirts for a friend of mine's band. Hopefully thisll provide some extra income for all of those unforgivable college expenses.
APPLE LAPTOP REQUIRED FOR ALL INCOMING STUDENTS?! UNFORGIVABLE!

Last monday, a friend and i watched the entire Lord of the rings trilogy in one sitting. This is definitely the biggest achievement of my entire life. sitting for ten hours to watch frodo and friends takes a level COMMITMENT that so many people these days lack.
Needless to say, all of my peers at school are green with envy.

And now..
I was tagged awhile back by
now i must post eight facts about myself, or burn in hell.

1- I contstantly Crack my knuckles and my neck. I need to do it when other people do it, as well. sort of like yawning, its very contagious.
*cracks neck*

2- I've been told that I have an angry-looking face.I guess I'm just one of those people who naturally looks mad all the time. Its probably because of the way my eyebrows are shaped.

3- I'm quite certain i will die at the age of 72, from falling down a flight of stairs.

4- "Kindgom of heaven", along with "a muppet christmas carol", is probably the only movie that i can watch over and over and never get tired of. I dont know why, but i always want to watch it.

5- I'm growing my hair out real long so i can get it permed and have a little afro for a while.

6- I am mediocre at playing bass guitar, but i am an air guitar/drum/bass MASTER. fer serious.

7- if i had a son, i would name Him Jumanji. (JUMANJI!) or maybe Jalupe (pronounced hah-lou-pee)

8- I'd like to move out west when i graduate high school, or maybe after college. or maybe down south.

9- I can't go into the downtown mall, for fear of seeing another gothic kid wearing a gir shirt and committing murder. I swear to go, i asked one kid if he had the dvds for the show, and he had no idea it was a show. he was under the impression that it was A GODDAMN CLOTHING LINE!! BISHSPIT!!

*deep breath*

yeah,So there you are.

Ill tag all the cool kids,now.
