blah blah

I'm really digging the colors Brilliant Blue and parchment. And also, using the word, digging. I've also been drinking hansen's because I like the fizzy drinks, but I think I'm in need of caffeine. the fat man is a character, the main one for my class. he's not done here, but you get the idea.

The man with the glasses....he's supposed to be Gaz from supergrass, but that's ok. I think I was reaching a point where I understood what acrylic could do.

Portrait of my dad on the works. He said it didn't look like him, but appreciated the thought. Hopefully I'll finish it...I haven't touched it in weeks.

I got very mad one day, and drew something that reminded me of the person who made me mad. I hate it when some people bring in drama, conflict where there wasn't conflict at all. Who thinks it's appropriate to point out the negativity when no one was asking for it?

got this a while ago, from pasadena art walk. a random lot..with random things there. this car was fully decorated with things. it also smelled very old.


From art center, I forgot to name the artist. great idea though isn't it?
I've been decorating my then-new yellow converse, but no high top. I wanted the high top for more canvas. anyway, brendon small from home movies, tim heidecker as jan skylar, and homer is on the right side waving, you just can't see him. I hope to fill it all up with [AS] characters
I've been spending summer nights watching Conan and Craig. I wish I could see BOTH one day LIVE since they both are in los angeles.......but my brother doesn't want to see Craig (he thinks he isn't funny----so wrong) and conan...well we have to organize when we have "time"

Goals for summer:
DMV written must pass
need to practice driving (but cannot be done w/o permit)
do class work
service hours
have fun, it seems I had more fun during school days (not at school...went to concerts..ate out..more stuff)
feel talented in art--which means improve!
work on those rusty photoshop things. I really do.
somehow have greater motivation to work harder in academics in prep for senior year
wear the summer dress I bought a month ago....it's too fancy to wear out.
stop feeling soooo blue. Michael Jackson made me sad, and I can't get out of the rut.
read 3 books for class
college trips?
get a job how can I get a job.....how do young people with no work experience (other than volunteering) get a job?
if I ever feel like I've finished all of this stuff...work on those craft things I've been wanting to do.
 
the days are flying by...and I haven't completed any of them. I'm not close to smooth sailing...

I've been having this song stuck in my head for so long, and since I can't add this onto my phone (for I have lost my usb cord that would connect to it the computer.....) I've been ached to not have this song play. I've been playing it once I get to this computer. It's just SO SWEET. And a song with Paul McCartney. This can't be beat. :)

 I can see why Thriller is such a good album, for it is. Great pop album, a must. You know...Beat It (the riff part) has been remembered in my head since I was little. I don't know when it was engraved into my head, but it feels like I was born with that song in there. It's been in my memory for so long. My parents weren't fans, but they know who he is, and my brothers...aren't crazy fans, though they forced me to watch Thriller online when I visited them at college (long ago). Interesting how Beat It, Bad, Thriller, Billie Jean, and Smooth Criminal were songs I remember, I knew I knew these songs, I don't know how. I don't know what exposed me to these songs since I was born in the 90s and I don't remember a time when my brothers would play them (unless...the Alien Ant Farm cover of Smooth Criminal, and forcing me to watch Thriller). What power Michael's music has. 

Michael was a sweet man. Watch those inerviews, he's kind. Maybe it's the voice that makes it all the more innocent. who knows...he was a great liar though, wasn't he? He put the rumor that he owned an oxygen tank, then talks on an oprah interview..it's just one of those lies... This guy...a little sneaky. Great fashion sense though, so independent on that, even when he was 50, this guy knew how to dress. I applaud him. I wasn't a big fan of him, but now I'm a fan..I think...and I deeply respect the man.

I don't know what will happen to me...when a musican...who I am a really really really big fan of pasts away. I've had a taste of grief, and it tastes horrible. It's like it gives a sickness, or a virus that lasts a long time..and the only antibiotic for rid of most of it is time. time will help. but time is not what I have...look at summer list. wanted to be motivated and going strong, and you know accomplishing all these goals with full force. Life is not very nice, things keep getting ruined.
