Artwork, Musings & Dreams

So yeah, I haven't posted on here forever. It's only one part of my life that has been neglected lately, along with basically everything else I can think of. I've missed too much class, eaten too much junk food, wasted money, the usual stuff I do on a weekly basis. I could be reading a book right now, but I'm chomping down nachos and swilling away the good old Theraflu. I'm what you call a partyer... well, no I'm not. But eh, whatever.

The best thing about this last week was the announcement of the first leg of the Gamma Ray tour in Europe in February and March. If I didn't have school, I would just go early and see them a few times. God that would be exciting. I'll be patient though, and work on my schoolwork, and then if I get the chance to shoot them when I'm in Germany, or when they come here, that'll work out.

I also set up a new Myspace account for my photography. I'm hoping to be able to shoot several concerts during the winter break, and have some of those published in Metal-Rules.com like I did with Testament.

But other than that, it's life as normal. Deadlines are looming, creativity is going, in the wrong areas, but hey, I'm producing... It's a little cheesy when working on a birthday present is more important than working on class output, but such is life. I need to get it finished and sent out, which I should do after this journal entry. Yeeehawr.

I guess I'll wrap this up, and hopefully more people will look at this once in a while. I'll try to post some pictures of current work in the next few days.
Woot :D

and PS, Dio is apparently still in the hospital, at least it was reported mid-week, and hopefully he will be ok. I haven't listened to him for very long (yeah I'm a moron) but a world without Dio isn't any kind of world at all...

I'm taking a class in photography right now that is for sophomores, basically a make up since I missed it since I was wasting time and money in painting last fall.

I think I'm wasting even more time and money on this class, it is killing me, and I think I just broke a camera. I'm not sure yet and I have to wait until tomorrow to figure it out but I'm at a point where I'm not sure I can deal with this for another 8 weeks. All I seem to do is screw things up. I work hard, I come up with ideas, and the minute I take a picture, all that work goes down the tubes. Then you wonder why I like digital photography.

I'm sick of this garbage, I'm sick of having to wait a retardedly long time for anything I do shoot to get developed, and then when I get stuf back, it's maybe 2 sheets out of the six I shot. That is pathetic and I really feel stupid and basically an imbecile for even attempting to do anything about this. I'm not sure what to do and I'm confused and angry I even signed up for this class.

*some nachos later*

I talked to Capn some, and she reminded me I'll live, and that she's had a craptastical week too... I think everyone has... Barb's hamster, Waffles, died earlier while I was in messing up the camera. Jeesh. For some reasonn there's something amazingly comforting about a bowl of ground beef, cheese sauce and Mexican rice that really does the trick. I'm sure I'll pay for it later, but who cares? Feh.

I wonder if John Bonham liked nachos. He seems like he would have been a nacho chompin kinda guy...

*sigh* I just gotta remind myself, Germany gets closer every day...

Why is it that sometimes hot Ramen on a cold October day is the most amazing thing ever? hehe

I feel quite successful today. I spent part of yesterday at the lab and got most of my prints for the heavy metal project done, as well as a few for my advanced digital class. They look awesome, hell yeah awesome, so I'm quite pleased. I just need to start formulating the text for the frames. I might just wait and do it stream of consciousness though. If I plan it out too much I'm going to be screwed and it won't have the desired effect. Of course, if it's not planned out enough it's going to be incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't know me, so yeah. Course, is that really even a concern? I really don't know.

Now, I just better get abit of a nap before it's time for work. My head's still kind of sore, but hopefully in a few weeks all the pollen and weeds will die. Then I'll probably get a cold and be stuffed up until March. herrherr.

This week went by faster than Marek eats tuna. Talk about ridiculous.

I did accomplish a few good things though:

• Started my savings account for the trip to Germany next year
• Got my flu shot
• Made a valuable breakthrough in my main studio class project
• Bought a cheap trash can
• Got some happy fun fuzzy slippers that Marek is afraid of

So yeah, I'd say I at least have accomplished a few things. I'm still exhausted and glad that Thanksgiving is only about a month and a half away, ok more like two months, but hey, it's coming. It'll be nice to go see Holly and hopefully I won't get hassled about listening to music during takeoff. It really isn't right without some good loud metal blaring in your ears, hehehe.

I get to pre-enroll on October 13, so I'm excited. I'll finally get to take that Egyptian history class that was such a mess last spring, and my course credits are perfectly in line for graduation. Talk about super happy news.

Now, I just have to save money to go to Germany, and make some appointments with grad schools to visit while I'm over there, whenever that will be.

Garr matey.

I can't wait for the bugs to be gone, I have bites on my hands and they itch a lot. Feh.

Here's something from last year, this video's hilarious.





Hehehe. I just love when Dirk is talking about the new website, and they start going 'org org org' Hahahha. *sigh* Nerds :D I loves it. And as always, Henjo is adorable, but that's sort of like breathing, it just happens. Heehehehe.
