Slowing down?

January 31, 2009

Everything seems to be moving so slow. A few minutes feels like an hour, a few hours feels like a day. The world itself has seemed to slow down.

I’ve been back in class for 3 weeks and it’s felt like almost an entire quarter has passed. I look back to things that happened on Monday or a few days ago, and I think to myself that its felt like such a long time ago and I question if it indeed happened on that day, but I know it did.

I don’t know why everything is moving so slow for me. Things used to like fly by but now everything seems to be moving at a snails pace. One day feels like two days, one week like two. And now that I’m actually lookin forward to something, time seems to go even more slower.

Slow, everything so slow.

So I haven’t really put anything up here in a long time. For three weeks I was unable to get on the internet, however for three weeks I’ve had almost unlimited access to internet, so I have no real excuse.

Their really is no reason for this post, or at least not yet, I’m just goin to ramble on about anything that comes to my mind. Just thought I’d tell ya ahead of time.

So I”m not sure if people I don’t know read this or what, so yeah. I’m a student at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. You have to have the The go to most sites that ask you what college/school you go to and you will not find AiP under the A section, nope it’s under the T section. Makes it sound kind of stuck up bet eh, what ya goin to do. One thing that I hate and do not understand is the kids that come to AiP, because they think it’s easy. I just want to smack these kids in the head. This is one of the most expensive art schools around, if they wanted easy they should have stayed and went to some community college or something. But here they are spending all sorts of money because they want easy. Better yet if you want easy, don’t go to college and work at McDonald’s for the rest of your life.

Oh and for those that thing an art school is and would be easy, well, I hate you to. The kids that go here, that really are passionate about doing what they want to do, deal with the same stress and pressure that any other college kid would. In fact I say that art college kids deal with pressures and stress that other college kids do not. They do not need the added stress of you labeling them, and talking down about them.

People need to stop talking about religion in public period. I’m tired of hearing it. Even from myself. Religious wackos and Atheist wackos and other nonbelievers, shut the fuck up. I’ve had enough. Neither of you are goin to change the others mind, so why the hell try?

Racism? How the fuck does it still exist in our “civilized” society. I do not understand how one can be so angry at another person just because their skin is a different color. In my personal opinion you do not deserve to be considered a good person if you are racist. I mean we, here in America, like to consider that we live in a country of equality, but again in my opinion, we are so far from that notion that it’s scary. America, the land in were we say one thing and do another. This paragraph goes for sexism as well.

Also people who get so fuckin worked up about homosexuality, need to shut the fuck up. If you don’t like it, well the fuckin look away when you see to guys or girls holding hands. I know not a single guy that minds it when he sees lesbians, but if these same guys see two guys together, well man they just freak. We have no right to keep to people that love each other apart and that is that.

So why I’m at it, lets hit on the topic of abortion. Oh yes. I am 100% pro choice. I believe that every woman has the right to decide if they want to abort the baby. I would rather them have the baby and put it up for adoption. But sometimes that just isn’t an option. Because what happens if a women that can’t afford all those freakin hospital bills that come from havin a baby? And yes abortion is way cheaper. What if that women was raped and got pregnant? Do you still believe that she could keep the baby. Yes I hear the arguments for pro life and I agree, with most of them. But again I do not believe that we have the right to take that right away.

So, man, I’m was like a bundle of anger back their. So what else can I talk about. Hmmm. Dr. Pepper is the most amazing thing of all time, and I spend way to much money on it. Same for milk though. Go through a jug a week at least. I like milk. It’s been pretty cold outside for like a week and I haven’t been feelin all to well.

So I still have no idea what exact career I want when I graduate college but I do know that I do not want to be designing web pages, just do not like it at all. However I do know that I would wish to get a career in which I would draw illustrations. I would really love to be an illustrator, that would be like my dream job.

I have a question to pose, just in case a teacher of some sort finds my blog and actually reads this far down. Why would one become a teacher if all they are going to do is belittle, make fun of, and harass their students? At first I thought that it was just the tough love approach, but this goes way beyond that.

So I was in class on Monday and I was workin on this picture of lets say a well gifted lady, and my teacher was showing a different way I could do the illustration. He started working on her eyebrows, and he looked at me and said, “Wow she really does have fake ones in doesn’t she.” He worked for a few more seconds then looked back at me and said, “I was talking about the eyebrows by the way.” As of yet it is the funniest thing that has happened to me this week, and one of the highlights of my week so far.

The more I try to expand my music taste the more narrow it seems to get. My top two favorite bands are Disturbed and Metallica. Fallowed by AC/DC, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and Korn. And it seems that the more I try to expand the more I find that well I don’t like anything non Rock or Metal. I’ve found a few songs here and their but never like a band that I would actually listen to all their songs.

Last Monday my right knee popped and I’ve been limping on it ever since, however last Thursday my left knee popped and know I’m limping with both legs. If feels that I’ve been walking with a bounce. And then today like I’ve been getting like chest pains. I think I pulled a muscle, at least that is what I hope it is.

Oh and if anyone hasn’t checked out my deviantart recently they should, I’ve been putting up a lot of stuff recently and I want to get as much responses on it as I can. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like and all that jazz. Here it is in case you don’t know.  http://blackgriffon.deviantart.com/

Well this is really long, and I can’t even remember what all I’ve said in here so I think that I shall stop writing for now, and I shall try to keep this updated more often. Thanks
