Spamalot & Randomness

 

So, after my last entry, my blog got locked for suspicion of it being a “spam blog”, Am I so boring that this site thinks I’m a robot??

Anyway, All my College Bills have been paid off, hooray! Time to go back to shopping.

Finished On The Road.Jack Kerouac, friend of mine was reading it which reminded me to re- read it.

Donated Blood Again recently, 4 times and counting!

I have been really experimenting with digital photography lately, and I’ve been Pushing my photoshop skills. I hope whoever reads this enjoys them. Here’s some more pictures I’ve taken.

Update 08/17/09

Ah ha Sorry folks I know I’ve been gone a long time now, things have been pretty hectic around the house. Oh by the way, If this blog comes out weird, It is because I’m testing out Windows Live Writer, a program that Prof.Russo shared with the rest of the Molloyians.

Speaking of which…

I am about to start my second year at Molloy College, which is extremely exciting. You know, a lot of my “Artist” friends (a.k.a kids my age who go to a fancy art school) give me crap about going to Molloy, “Oh its not a reaall art school” blah de blah. So what? I’m not particularly worried about my education at Molloy. I like most of the professors in the art department, and besides, I’m going for my B.F.A. These other kids need to get it through their fat heads that it’s not the school that’ll make them “famous artists”. I would like to think that I’m pretty knowledgeable in art history, and that I do have have some technical skill. My choice to go to Molloy was not an accident, it was well planned out. I felt as though I’d get a better education at a commuter college that had a little bit of everything. Molloy just had what I needed, and it’s working out pretty well. I’ll worry about going to “Art school” when I finish up here and start thinking about grad school.

And as a side note, The stuff these kids make at “art school” is extremely boring to me. If I have to see another peace sign painting, I am going to freak.

What else has been going on? Well I’ll tell you what’s not going on, writing. It seems as though I never feel like writing poetry anymore, I feel as though I’m lying to myself and that I’m just being extremely repetitive. I haven’t drawn much either, I’m all about painting now.

Which reminds me, I have to go back to school shopping….

This had to be one of the worst summers I’ve ever had, yet I still manage to keep a cheery mood. I’ve been denied jobs left and right, doing odd jobs for a short period of time instead :( . My friends are all getting into that college groove of partying, Which don’t get it twisted, I enjoy a good drink or two, But the last time I got trashed I woke up on a bench near the local pond with nothing a marker smiley face on my…face and my pockets looking like rabbit ears.

For those who don’t understand the last bit, pull your pockets inside out and think of bunny ears, yeah, I was robbed…

Moving on, drinking just hasn’t been my thing lately, I don’t like the feeling of getting drunk and spewing the day’s nutrition all over so and so’s dorm! No gracias, no gracias. However I have organized a few “happenings” of my own. Just a group of artsies, some paint some instruments some eccentric dancing among other funny things really gives you that community feeling.

Which reminds me, I should get involved with Molloy.

Other than that, it’s just been me, The girlfriend, and my broke ass friends who can’t find a decent job either. We’ve had so much free time, we play street ball for hours, giving ourselves ridiculous names such as “fashionably on-time” and “too smooth for toast”. It rained the entire summer, which pisses me off, and I love how during mid august mother earth woke up and said “ Oh my, I forgot about summer, I should probably get started on that”, I’ve been taking a lot of pictures, I recently got myself a new tripod to take those long exposures :) and I hoping to get a Nikon lens that is 50mm with a f-stop of 1.4, which in normal talk means a lens that looks as far as the human eye, with the capability of having an extremely blurry background.

Um, I think that’s it. If I forget to post, I most likely will during the school year. Especially with the incoming students for FLC, who will be learning about blogging mwahahaha, or at least I hope so.

Oh if Travis sees this at all – Hit me up son, I see you in Elmont all the time! Show me some love!!

blah de blah brb rattatatat and all that peace
