I'm sorry I missunderstood, but i'll recover.

So, that's not what I expected to happen... but that's life.

I'm taking a class... its incredible!
Here's a video of me saying so! (:

I think one of the most beautiful things about the way life plays out, is that it is not predictable and that things dont always go according to plan.
(500) Days of Summer has a scene that compares Tom's expectations to his reality. It is so accurate to how life actually works, well mine any way. Especially recently.
But it's not a bad thing... there is a loveliness about it.

And it really is beautiful, even if we don't realize it straight away.

they are bluelike stars.

I've finally started to realize that my life is about to change drastically. Everything I know and have known... it's all slipping a way. I'm glad of it though, grateful for the prospect of new things. I need that stimulant to keep me going.

And even now, when I find myself obsessing over every inch of what needs to be done, there is still a sense of peace.

It's beautiful.

maybe this year will be better than the last.

I just took a shower, and there is still make up on my face... uh... ah well.
The show we did today was at this really really beautiful art school. The location is just amazing.
There are these incredible bronze statues all over the place that are just amazing to look at. I think I heard someone say that they were from either France or Italy. Either way they are just incredible.
I'm going to make a point to drive out there a few times this fall and do some sketches of them.

Well that's it for now I guess.

Good night (:

Video>pictures.

Yeah so.... I'm really lazy.

Oh, and I hate little immature high school girls. Like come on! Worry about your own life and stop gossiping about mine.

home away from home.

So looks like I suck at this everyday thing, but then again, not much has transpired since I did this last.

I'm hungry, but I know that if I go look in the fridge, there will be absolutely nothing there to fill me up.

Two shows of the Tempest today.

...its really hot.

Okay, so technically, I missed a day, but I'm not going to count that since I haven't actually gone to sleep yet.

I worked on that painting a little more, though I'm way too lazy to take a picture of it and post it, though, I have to say, it doesn't even remotely resemble what it looks like in that picture. Maybe when it's finished I'll post a picture. Not that it really matters, because it's not like anyone but me sees this.

I'm that much farther in my journey of "working on my portfolio and applying to art schools".
Now that I think more about it, MICA is starting to move up there with SVA and Parsons.... but we'll see.

Oh and fun fact: It looks like I'm going to be taking an oil class at PSU this fall. We'll see how that goes! Should be an adventure!

Night

Last night

I wanted to go to sleep, I laid down and everything, but my brain just started going crazy, and I became very uncomfortable; twisting and turning in my bed.

So I read some Harry Potter....and that didn't help my anxiousness. Basically I ended up wandering around my room, my mind in a frenzy of random thoughts. Ever feel like that?

My mind started to drift towards school and how I still have a lot of work to do to prepare for my portfolio. I want to go to New York... That's scary.

My fingers started itching to paint, draw, do something! So what did I do at 1 o-clock in the morning? I tore out a sheet of biggie sketch paper, pinned it to my sketch board and slapped some paint on it.
I'm going to call this a study, since I had no goal or idea to influence my stroke decisions; but I don't entirely hate what happened, so I'm going to continue to work on it and see what it becomes.

I also did another study. An explosion of thin pigment liner and a not so subtle sharpie all over a page of rejected watercolor paper.
Nothing special really came with it except maybe the notion to be more relaxed while using a pen.


Well, bye for now.

Ready, and Go.

For real this time. I'm actually going to do this... I know I always say I will, but I'm serious this time..... really.

So, everyday, I'm going to write.
I cant guarantee that it will be intelligent, interesting, or in anyway thought provoking, but I'll do my best.
Who knows, every once in a while, it may be all of those things.

So prepare yourself for poor grammar, bad sketches, deranged ideas, or whatever else happens to be part of my day..... for this is as good as it's going to get.


Oh and if you get the chance, I highly suggest you watch 'The Brothers Bloom'
It was a simply fantastic movie! Absolutely brilliant!

Good night for now.
