So, the semester ended with a strange explosion of ideas and a sour taste in my mouth. Mostly from when I checked my grades. Man, last semester was harsh.
As an artist, our greatest foe is the "artist funk", or when you can't get anything to come out right, or you just can't develop ideas at all. It's like that special way of seeing shuts down for repairs. Well last semester I was plagued with it. My artist eyes took a very long blink if you will. All ideas became a single strange of idea. Which I will scan and post later. But needless to say I was fucked in all of my classes. The solution for me? Introspection! Its painful at first, looking at your self. You see everything bad as well as good. And most of the time for me I encase things with the bad, so it took a while before I saw the good. But, once I carved away at the bad stuff the pain they brought was less and less. Then I discovered a wealth of good things, and I've been exploring them a lot lately. To my joy, this has cause several epiphanies and literally thousands of ideas for both my paintings and ceramics.
I'll have to go into this later tonight. I'm still cleaning house from the surprise (but very welcomed) party we had. :)
Cioa!

losing weight!
Hey,
Its been a long time since my last post but now I think I'll have time in the mornings to work on this thing. Today starts my new workout and nutrition routine. I figure it will take me a at least a month to get start to get to where I want to be.
I'm 5'11'' (I think! haha) and I'm about 180-95lbs. Which is the problem at hand. Its a big problem for me; for my self esteem and just for general health reasons. I'd like to get down to 155, but I also want to get a little bit more muscle mass so I imagine I'll get to about 160-70 but look much better. haha. Either way it's time to lose the weight and take back the insane amount of (as carson would say, chaotic evil) energy I use to have.
I'll post some pictures later... maybe a before and after picture! haha. (maybe we'll do that when I have the after picture, its so much easier to look at yourself when you know its what you USED to look like hahah).
Other than that I met a really nice guy who has extremely similar interest as me! (what are the odds?) haha. So I've been talking with him a lot lately and enjoying it.
As for my art, I've been jumping around ALL semester about what to do and where I was at in the art world. I had no idea as to what would happen! haha. It's a really long story so I'll try to post it tonight so I can see if I can get it all out of my system. But I do feel I have come full circle with JUST enough time left in the semester to make it out alive. :)
Well I'm off to make breakfast and head to the gym! Wish me luck!
