I haven't really posted much to this thing in a LONG time...I should though.
It's been really rough as far as any personal life is concerned for me, but fuck it, I'm just waiting around until I get some news back from graduate schools regarding my applications. I could end up in any number of places: California College of the Arts in San Francisco, Pacific University in Forest Grove OR, Northwestern U in Chicago, Hollins University's summer film program in VA or Rutgers at Camden. I'm excited, though nonetheless anxious about heading out somewhere completely estranged from where I've been for the last 24 years. I'm hoping that after leaving PA new opportunities will open themselves up. Maybe it'll be easier to find a photog in a west coast city. Maybe I'll find a super smart guy who can banter with me about art or about how strange life is and who can appreciate the mindless simplicity of a little tv when thoughts usually don't let me rest, someone who can brainstorm with me to materialize a brilliant idea or two when it comes to writing movies and sitcoms or just short stories. Someone who helps me feel like I'm a part of something (the camaraderie of a group is something that means the world to me). Someone who can laugh things off and just have fun, but doesn't ignore me completely. Someone who isn't a pathological liar who skews my entire reality, but is just trying to live honestly and understand our erroneous human condition. Preferably someone who plays in a band who can appreciate the simplicity of my open chords and understands that, given my anxiety, when I sing in front of them it means something. Someone who thinks I'm adorable when drunk, not completely retarded. Someone who I can just be comfortable around on lazy days in an apartment. Or at the very least I'll get more comfortable with myself with the move.
Didn't think it was much to ask for, but when I see all this listed out with such specificity I guess it IS a lot to ask for.
Anyway, I should have most of my admissions decisions by mid March...and then the Philly Tattoo Convention comes around the last weekend of that month! So all in all I'm looking forward to March.
Just got more b&w detail on the Ophelia piece on my thigh the other day...fun stuff.

I am completely thankful for the 3rd gear on my front wheel drive car...because it's snowing here and I just got home from work. Seems like it's time to settle in and have an It's Always Sunny marathon and some ramen and grilled cheese.
Tube socks & cocked glocks (lol I'm not tough at all...but it rhymed with tube socks)
