Design I

I have not been on this thing in so long. But I decided to use this as a form of guideline for my life again. I just completed a project in my Design I class today. The project dealt with value transferring a recognizable image into a newspaper college. This is the result.

Original Picture:

Dorothea Lange (1895-1965)

"Young migratory mother, originally from Texas" Edison, Kern County, California, April 11, 1940. 1998 print.

The Collage Version:

I know. 

It's nasy. :[

This is This, This is That

The world has finally alluded itself.

I was able to stope time with my paintbrush. My leggs looked good. This is a story of this. This is now a story of that. In between is where life exsists, time exsists, we exsist. There are patterns to be seen. I have a dog.

ABOUT ME:

My goal in life is to leave an impression in yours.

I am a man with a sensitive heart and a creative mind that is driven by perfection. However, the latter is thrown around loosely in my everyday life only because my idea of perfection is slightly twisted from its dictionary definition. Meaning: I am an organized disaster. I consider myself as an artist; whether you choose to agree or not, I am what I am. Being creative is what I was born to do and for this reason I am ready to pursue such an open-minded career. I am the best bullshitter that you’ll ever meet. This quality has become very useful for reasons unnecessary to explain through an internet website. Most of the drama in my existence comes from my inability to accept defeat or, in reality, being wrong. Stubborn is one word that could easily be used both for and against me when related to my personality. I like to be busy and at times stressed out. I think it brings out the best in me. Driving through the United States, listening to music all while spending quality time with some of the most amazing people on earth is one of my many hobbies. I consider myself a hopeless romantic and it really is hopeless because I do not really even understand relationships. I doubt I ever will. Don't get me wrong, I want you to know something "about me" obviously or I would not have filled out this very section; nonetheless, I just want it to be memorable. Which is to say, this is the beginning of my attempts to reach my goal. You are what I need to succeed.

I'm 18

Almost Legal!

The time is drawing nearer.

I will soon be able to buy cigarettes, enter clubs, and purchase porn if I feel it is necessary.
But like many years previous, I don't want my birthday to come. Yes, I am excited about the benefits of turning eighteen, but I would rather not be reminded of school. I guess that is the common flaw with all summer birthdays: it's a excruciating reminder of the new school year. Its almost like a reality check for me to start completing the summer assignments I have so easily overlooked while laying out by the pool. However, this summer, I have at least tried to start some of my assignments. For example: I purchased my AP summer reading entitled "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbra Kingsolver and have already begun to read it; 78 pages to be exact. Yes, only 428 more to go. BORING.

I leave you with a mixed emotions regarding my upcoming birthday.
