| 2010!!! i'm relieved it's a new year. 2009 was exhausting, to say the least. so...i need a job, or maybe some internship. so i don't feel like a useless idiot next semester. i really shouldn't have gone to that piece-of-shit school. i also gotta finish my portfolio by feb. 1st. i need more official pieces because i think i have too many sketches. my grandpa and me visited new york this month. it was fine, it's a good city. it's just nothing new. the subway sucks, but the architecture is nice. i can't say i'm leaving chi-town any time soon though :D. damn. i'm watching this awful thing on real life (and i never even watch mtv) and it's making me feel like shit. it's about fanboys. i don't think i've encountered people that extreme in my life, and really hope i don't anytime soon. one of them is 27. 27. people have families by 27. | | |
| this is by far, one of the most entertaining things i've ever read online. As I was watching this morning a recent e-mail I had recieved came to mind and it said this.Mermaid or Whale?Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said, “This summer do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym. To whom it may concern: Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans).. They have an active sex life; they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea, and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even have records of cds. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world. Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get to close to them not to mention how could they have sex. Therefore, they don’t have kids either, not to mention who wants to get close to a girl that smells like a fish store. The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale. P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a coffee with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good gosh, look how smart I am. | | |

| oof. guys, some advice - jack daniel's is some heavy shit. i mean, now i understand why kanye did that to taylor swift. oh god. even if she did deserve it. i don't sew hot you can down a whole bottle of that. the misspelling should tell you something. anyways. me and olya hung out tonight. tomorrow, me and billy are going to riot fest in logan square. it should be fun. i can still spell normally. i'm wearing a dress tomorrow. it was like 50 today, and i wore a dress, and i was fine. man, i'm out of it. this is nice :D. we watched koyaanisqatsi (or however you spell it) in humanities. me and another guy were late, and we ended up walking into the strangest movie ever. other than requiem for a dream. it was seriously bizarre. no dialogue is strange enough, but some parts were straight up hilarious. ok, i have to go. | | |
| not yet, to be certain. i will after the year ends. to save up more money and get my basics out of the way. it's been about a month (which is very little) and columbia has not given me much. that said, i understand that the first month is nothing to go by - i might actually learn something in the next semester. but judging by these experiences, i doubt much will get done: - new millenium studies - we got to make playlists and maps about ourselves. and, oh yeah, did something about identity. this is a required class.
- humanities - we sat in a big circle and told a story, then divided up into groups and acted it out.
- art history - not so bad. we take notes for about an hour and a half or 2, and leave early. though she was absent last time, so we sat around for 3 hours, presented something for 5 minutes, and then left.
- english - supposedly a sec. 2 class. we discuss our favorite seasons or original career plans. at leats we have a research project coming up.
- and fundamentals of 3d - i switched out of 2d so that i could have a prerequisite for anatomical modeling 2nd semester. we glued cardboard last time, and drew outlines of organic objects. eventually, we'll be making mini-models? none of it is very challening, and though i am known for my slacking ways, i actually want to get something out of a class since i have to pay off the goddamn loan later. plus, an saic (school of the art institute) graduate is likely to have a better job than a columbia one. so basically, i want long drawing/painting classes so that i get engulfed in the paper. other than that, i'm in an ok mood. my head is clearing more. i'm trying to get excited about things, so it'll get better. | | |
