Wednesday, November 24, 2010 Why An Ostrich? I have a headache. So it kills me not to be doing something constructive. I'll do something expressive instead. When I smile I get this like...weird indention under my eye. It's like a misplaced dimple...Pretty cool. I firmly believe that "follow your heart" is the dumbest common word of advice. I can't understand accents. Just hispanic ones. Not British...not Southern...just Mexican. I love world history. Not US history. Actually I prefer Middle Eastern history. I always get Cocoa Butter Kiss deodorant because my Spanish name was Coco in jr high :P I have to use spell check to spell deodorant. I've been with Hun'r for 15 months now. Hun'r's been with me for about that much time. I could live without a lot of things...chapstick is not one of them. I found out I have a fear of ostriches the other day. How? I had a dream where I was being chased...by an ostrich. It's pronounced "LEE-tuh" not "LET-uh". And she's my bes' frann(: I love antique cameras. I want to learn to paint. If you give me too many directions at once, my brain spins. I hate sleeping. But I do it like--EVERY night DX It just takes up so much time! And I don't like dreaming. Goodness gracious...I love red bull. And sour gummy worms. Mom thinks I don't like change. That's not true. I don't like other people changing things for me. I go through phases with everything. It's really unhealthy...so in general I try to avoid all things addictive. Haha XD I want to tie dye everything. And anything I can't tie dye I want to spray paint. That is all.
Monday, September 06, 2010 "Giving Up"
Four months ago I made one of the hardest decisions of my high school career, and that was to quit band. I was in band for 4 school years, and I was frequently acknowledged among the bandies for my insane lung power. I was loud and powerful. That's what people say when they shake their heads in the hallway ... "You were so good. Why'd you quit?"
Silly geese. I'm no "quitter". I had to do what was right for me. Band slurped up my time like spaghetti, leaving me tired and sore and in headaches. We were the best, no doubt. Winning prestigious competitions with our 80 set drill and well-respected song choice that left people in disbelief at the sound of the first note. Have you ever heard Mallaguena? It'll make your heart stop. And I can play it. But I wanted to take TV Community Productions 1st hour, so I could work in a job-like situation and get things for my resume. I wanted three electives so I could get my PE credit to graduate and still take a design class to prepare me for my career. No room for band, and my grades couldn't take the hit either. In May I stopped eating lunch in the cafeteria. I left some stupid people behind and watched free-runners at lunch that barely interact with me. "Why aren't you socializing?" "Why'd you leave your friends?" Ha. Friends. They were probably too high to know I was even gone. I did not give up on those people. I had to do what was right for me. Surrounding myself with kids that want to get high and put me in danger. No thank you. I'll take my sobriety, you can keep your self-hatred. That was also the month I went to see my school counselor. I asked that since I would only need 2 credits for my senior year, could I just take those classes and go home? Nope. School policy. You're telling me I have to wrack my brain for 8 hours when I could be working for money for college and taking early college credits? Really? I have to waste my time to make you look good. It's chill. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, all thanks to Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google them, haha, get it?). I got online and found virtual schooling, which is banned by my state. So I went to ADE and checked out the homeschooling list, compared it to the DETC, and started making phone calls. All by myself, am I a genius or what? I found out about this thing called "Early Graduation"...I can take my senior credits during my junior year and just get my diploma in May. Still graduating, just less of a hassle. My "senior" year will be free to spend doing whatever I have to do to prepare for the Digital Arts business :) Crazy cool. Can I do it? I don't know. But I can consider it. Does that mean I'm giving up on school? Nah. I'm doing what's right for me.
Saturday, February 20, 2010 Fundamentals to Advertising And Graphic Design   2nd Period. Mk. So I'm really starting to like Ad1. Like a lot. I learned how to make glass the other day (as a comp image, from scratch) and my teacher wants me to take her advanced course. Very sweet, no? We're working in Illustrator right now. It's cool. Image with the circles and stuff is an illustration of how I experiment with technique. I think pretty soon I'll be able to make the art that I draw, on the computer (detailing, I'll post later). Anywho. That image of randomness is one I took and made big, added a ton of stuff, and it's gonna be my mama's desktop wallpaper ^_^. She asked for a cool one...So yah. I feel special. The Tinker Bell was our cartoon assignment. We had to pick something animated (Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty, etc.) and recreate it. I did Tinker Bell of course. But then I got bored and made another one where she was totally punked out. I love it :D Laterr. Btw. These pics were taken on my phone. Maybe I should start saving the actual images :/
Sunday, February 14, 2010 Happy SAD! :D I will always refer to February 14th as SAD. I get that like...I'm not quote "single". But. It's still Singles Awareness Day to me. ^_^ We all know that "Valentines Day" is some kind of economical scam, created for the candy industry. They used a cover up though. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a day of worship for the god Juno, who I refer to as Hera (the Greek goddess of marriage; wife of Zeus). Obviously, some random flower company picked that up and ran with it and voila! A "holiday" completely devoted to what our disastrous race calls "love". It's genius. :D Genius I tell you. So Happy Singles Awareness Day Everyone!!!
Now. Valentines Day, to me is not a holiday. SAD is though. But I don't celebrate it...in fact...I don't celebrate many holidays. Halloweens fun for the parties, but the whole Celtic death/life thing kinda throws me off. New Years would be a lot better if I was 21--but it's cool nonetheless. And "Easter" (Pesach, as in the anniversary of passover) is pretty cool when it's celebrated right, as in minus all the pagan root and tradition. Same with Christmas. But I'm not big on presents, so Christmas is no big deal. Anniversaries make sense to me, birthdays make sense. Black History Month, not so much. And Mothers Day? Come on. Mardi Gras can BMA and 420 started in California (shocker), so if you think it's an actual holiday--well that's indicative that you celebrate it :). I used to love 4th of July, that makes sense to me. And Veterans Day--definitely makes sense. I love honoring my country :). I really don't even know what Labor Day is and I imagine I'd think it's useless if I did. Not sure why kids get out of school for Milk Day (Martin Luther King Jr Celebration) and it'd make a whole lot more sense if they got us out the day after Super Bowl. Because. Well. We all know that the Super Bowl is in fact a holiday :).
There's my two cents. Laterr. <3 Thursday, February 04, 2010 Second Period.  So. I'm taking Fundamentals in Advertising Design. And well. It's boring. But every once in a while I make something kinda cool. I get bored a lot...and am left to my own creations--and sometimes the assignments are pretty cool. I'll try to post stuff from time to time, and maybe even some of my Indie artsy-stuff if I feel like it. :] <--this pic is actually taken on my mobile phone. I made the design in a random act of boredom in Adobe Illustrator. I was kinda proud simply because...well...I think it's pretty :D. For Veterans Day we had to make a collage. I had fun with mine ^_^.  Click the image to see it bigger-ified.
