Howdy folks. All is well.
I am doing my best not to freak out about school. I am keeping myself busy so it seems to be working.
I tried something a little bit different today...
I did this little thing called eating breakfast. It was good. I should try it again some time...

Wel...yesterday I came to a blinding realization....
One can not live life without a body.
For probably about the last 2-3 months I have been living on 1 meal a day and about 4 hours of sleep a night. I have just been spending so much time on other things whether it be school, work, pleasure, spirituality, etc. that I guess I just learned to...

I actually like the whole art discussion, no need to apologize.
I was working with fairy tale imagery for some self-portraits, so yes, sometimes I do play roles. But, sometimes it starts a role playing and ends up looking like my real self. B&W photography is my main medium, although I use it a bit more for shooting things other than self-portraits. If you're interested, you can see my portfolio at www.exuberantphoto.com.

What's up kids?
Ok, I don't really have anything to say. I am taking a well needed break from doing school work for about a hour or two, so I came on and uploaded some pics. Some me, my lady, toad, and some stuff from figure/anatomy class. Not much because I am kind of strapped for time, but if you want more let me know,...

Yes, tied down is good.
I was looking at some of Cindy Sherman's notes and found she draws on similar inspirations. It really freaked me out. Now, I once again have to convince myself that my work is not simply derivative. Still, I completely admire her, so such is the life of an artist.

Update: Note to self...
Never start drinking after a closing shift at 1 a.m. when you have to open the next morning. I was by myself, not tired, and downed a bottle of jagemeister that was in the freeze. I slept like a rock, but thought I was going to die when my alarm went off. Work totally dragged on and on and on...

i'm so happy for you... that sounds like a really great moment. i hope to have one like it someday!

hello, hello, my friend! not too busy, just don't have much to say.
i was so happy to read about your intimate moment. reading it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, as well as lonely. but i will not give up. i too, will keep faith that perhaps a feeling of closeness will once again return to me.
on another note, i pose a question to you...in an attempt to determine what phase of a relationship i'm in with a certain fellow, i asked if we were just having casual sex? the answer given to me was, "if we weren't having sex, we would be hanging out casually." WTF? any insight on this? i thought females were supposed to be the enigmas of this world, not males.
hope all is well...

Damn fucking weekends. I hate them.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't a student and had a regular 9-5 so I could enjoy the weekends. Instead I go to school all week, work a few of those days, and then get to close friday, saturday, sunday, and probably monday...
I am such a complainer.
On a lighter note, all is good. Had a great day yesterday....

That's a funny dream...made me giggle.
It's not fiction. Although, I'm sure she was doing more than coke. I saw her 5 years later, she looked pretty good, but was dating some awful guy.
I majored in English for a couple years, and I never really think about grammar. Maybe that's a good thing.

I would veture that *most* people don't change, although they may grow up a bit. Even that may be up for debate.
Too many times have my journal went unread and I have cried myself to sleep........just kidding.

All is good in happy town.

how the hell are ya, j??? i've been playing your little scale on my harmonica, no doubt not the same (or as quickly) as on a guitar, but i get the idea.
mission of art is coming along. you were right, it's a lot deeper than i expected it to be. full synopsis later.
i want you to draw me a picture.
i love math.

I haven't updated in a few days, but nothing really has been going on.
The only notable thing is that eventhough I have been with my girl for over 3 1/2 years I get more into her every day I'm around her. We have been having a lot of family problems lately but it has only made us stronger. We just have to deal. Its...

Hello folks
Wow Saturday night was stupid. I went to my friends 20 b-day party and I had a horrible time.
background info: Parker's bday. Parker dates my girl (Jayme)'s sister (Leah).
He asked me to come, bring Jayme and Jer. Jer got off work about 8:30, so I went and got him and we all went. It fucking sucked. I had to open on...

Yesterday was great! I had almost forgot how much fun I have when I hang out with Jeremy. Me and Jer, or Jer and I...whatever, were pretty much brothers all through highschool. When we hit college, he dropped out about a semester into it and I have stuck it out a bit longer. We kind of fell apart after that because of time and schedule...

you admitted that Johnny Depp is hot, and i love you for it!!!
it sucks how friendships can diminish over time. but i love the friends that you may not speak to/see for a year or two and you can pick up right where you left off. (saw an OLD friend over the weekend and it was like we never missed a day.)
WHAT GETS YOU HOT--what are "speedy minor pentatonic scales"? I imagine something musical. you'll have to forgive me, as i am musically challenged. time to start 'Mission'...i'll be keeping you updated on my progress.

Yeah weekend
I don't really have much to say today, as if I really ever have anything to say....
If anyone happens to read this they should go say hi to yebutz and show her much love. What a cool ass being.
Totally cool day planned.

The Haunted Made Me Do It . . . I don't know about all day, every day. Today I think I'm feeling a little Angry Johnny then maybe a bit of Darkest Hour.

awww....did you just give me a 'plug'? how sweet, i've never been 'plugged' before. (i had to say that, it just sounded so funny in my head.)
you seem to consume a lot of chinese food...chinese buffets, general tso's, ramen noodles. doesn't all the msg make you ill?
i need a life, j...but for now i shall continue to live vicariously through the souls of this site.
hope your weekend finishes well.

p.s.--tell no one i have a brain, i've made it my life's work to hide that from everyday folk. and if anyone finds out, Oz will never give me another.

Today was weird. Started off totally shitty but later redeemed itself as not quite so awful.
Highlights:
1. Lithograph proofs turned out good and editioning will begin on tuesday.
2. I did two drawings in figure anatomy today that I was proud of.
3. Awesome nap
4. Guitar for a large period of time.
5. General Tso's for dinner

k, two things.
1. not trying to be your mom or anything, but you fucking cannot quit school when you have so little remaining. just finish, then take as much time as you like to live it up jack kerouac style
2. until i read palahniuk's new book, i had no idea that you art students learned so much anatomy.
oh yeah, had a little sexual conquest of my own...

I have shown in Spain, but never lived there. But, Lord, Barcelona is so beautiful, given a chance, I would be there in a second. I have never loved a city like that.
The honesty is my fatal flaw, I think. People just don't want to hear it or see it sometimes. I really appreciate your comments, it's always good to get a thoughtful critique!
