Well, I finished my first project for my new studio today. It sucks and I don't care, honestly I wonder why I'm in the architecture program when I'd rather be behind a video camera. Eh well, its not all bad. By the way we're doing the short this summer dammit, and its going to be good and short too. Anyways I'm going to need a job this summer, any suggestions? I'd rather not do televista, I'd rather be standing up and doing something. |

Well I tried putting together what very little we did get filmed on Wednesday and suffice it to say it was exactly what I was hoping for. The audio wasn't great but it was made worse because of an odd popping noise probably due to the fact that I didn't get to use the same camera it was shot with. A word of advice, when shooting something on miniDV don't expect that another miniDV camera especially of different brands will give you good compatibility, it won't. It was also very hard to edit some parts especially because there was so much talking and fucking around on the track that no matter even if I got a good shot the sound was full of talking from the camera man and people weren't even in the scene. While I admit it was fun filming, it was a pain to edit and the edit looks shoddy right now but I try to fix it as much as I can. Sorry to vent but I had to somehow, either way if I do plan to film again this summer it's going to go much more professionally, no fucking around at least when the camera is rolling, that's why people say quiet on the set. (Especially that Dustin guy who would put his two cents in or fuck with his little camera that made little beeping noises that I could hear on the sound track) |

You are calm and rational.
You are also giving and kind - a great friend.
You are easy going and trusting.
However, you are too sensible to fall for mind games. |
I'm lazy right now so I'll just post this. It's been a long time since I posted one of these, I think I'm just going to start posting pictures and anything else that comes to mind. Including shit like this, sorry but I'm not up much for the blogging thing. Either way I hope my 35mm camera comes in soon. Planning on the film goes slowly, this project will not fail like my short did. But thanks everyone who helped, especially to Elias who did a great job, sorry it didn't work out as planned. |

For anyone who still reads livejournal, I'd like to pose a question to you guys. This is kind of personal so I assume only my closer friends will respond but here it goes. If you could describe me in three words, words that have movement or feeling such as serene or driven, not interesting or intelligent. It's for a project due on Monday, and I was just curious as to who would respond. Ok that's all for now. |

Classes have been going pretty well this week, I've been making A's in a class were the average grade is usually a B which excites me to no end because that means my talent is actually improving or I have more than I've been giving myself credit (which is not unlike me). I got an A on my comic which can be seen Deviant Art but just to let you know how hard it is to actually make an A in this teachers class...he has been known to give a B++ (which is total douchebaggery in my opinion :p).
Either way I've learned a lot about my new friends here in College Station and am making more. Two of them are actually from El Paso so we have a lot in common, and one is really into photography. Which reminds me, I know that by the often sporadic nature of Nutter's camera taking that they must come out horrible. But it seems that he's either improved or has always been really good at it because those pics of Alex are great. The coloring looks superb (which would mean his camera kicks ass or he's good at Photoshop) and even the light streaks look well placed. It reminds me a lot of a really cool pic of The Locust. I can't wait to see you guys in P&T action again.
I have two projects due next week. One I am excited about, its to create a Utopia and of course I'm going to do Negative Utopia and I think it will look cool. The other is what I think is our Midterm Exam in my Drawing class and I don't want to do it all. We have to make a plan and blah, blah and none of it really interests me. I guess that's why I'm going into the Visual Studies program and not full blown arhcitecture. |

A pretty boring day today, I should have drawn my comic for a class but I didn't...oh well. I think it would be cool to read that book by Saul Williams that Geoff picked up, or even watch an obscure movie like we used to but unfortunately I don't really have the time. Hopefully when I get back this winter we can all watch obscure movies together again. Either way I guess I can try to make time and actually get my lazy ass out of campus but sometimes it can be very hard.
I'm hoping that I'll do a good job on this comic so I can actually put it on my Deviant Art page, I've also got a few charcoal drawings I want put up but I'll need the large scanner in the Architecture building. That's the one thing I do like about college, I have a lot of access to many different resources including a scanner large enough to scan 18x24 sheets :D. Anyway happy berfday Geoff, sounds like it was a lot better than mine. Hope the job is still going well and I hope Mary Ann gets a new one soon (even if she doesn't want too :P).
Oh yeah a cold front finally came in and it is friggin' cold. |

Well it was certainly an interesting day today and as usual you'll find out about it if you read the LJ. You know I really do hate my drawing class, not drawing or anything (I love that part), its really the teachers. Really its because they just suck at teaching. One is a TA and in a way, I guess, shouldn't really be expected to be that good of a teacher but the other one is just confusing at times. Either way, today we were doing a perspective project and I finish the thing which takes me about an hour and come to find out, I fucked the entire thing up because a few lines weren't straight (I want to be a Graphic artist and can't even draw a straight line, what the hell am I thinking?) and needless to say I got pissed and became sarcastic (I guess that's my defense mechanism or something :p). Anyway my TA said "well you don't have to be a dick" and well I didn't say much and just threw the entire thing away. I have yet to completely redo the project but as I was walking back I realized that one of my teachers has just called me a dick. I realize that I was being one but shouldn't he as a teacher be a little more tactful? Either way, I guess that's why I really don't like that class.
Hopefully a few new friends and I will be getting together and fixing some dinner. wee. |

College Station is an odd place, even though the majority of it is filled with conservative white people there still is that flavor to it that is distinctly college. One in particular is a new place that I've found called the Pita Pit. It's a healthy alternative to (dare I say it?) Subway. It's all cooked before you and has tons of different vegetarian pita's as well as regular pita's and gyros (pronounced without the 'g'), and it is delicious.
Even though it seems strange I actually like being in my studio better than I like being in my dorm. This is probably due to the fact that my dorm sucks but eh. Also I want all of my friends in Odessa to go to Hooter's simply because Odessa has a Hooter's. I know I'll be going when I get back because College Station doesn't have one.
I think I'm gonna head on over to the Pita Pit now. :D |

Another one :p....
| Your Birthdate: June 16 | 
Your birth on the 16th day of the month gives a sense of loneliness and generally the desire to work alone.
You are relatively inflexible, and insist on your being independent.
You need a good deal of time to rest and to meditate.
You are introspective and a little stubborn.
Because of this, it may not be easy for you to maintain permanent relationships, but you probably will as you are very much into home and family.
This birth day inclines to interests in the technical, the scientific, and to the religious or the unknown realm of spiritual explorations.
The date gives you a tendency to seek unusual approaches and makes your style seem a little different and unique to those around you.
Your intuition is aided by the day of your birth, but most of your actions are bedded in logic, responsibility, and the rational approach.
You may be emotional, but have a hard time expressing these emotions.
Because of this, there may be some difficulty in giving or receiving affection. |
oh yeah and by the way, there's another one of A&M's great traditions that says if you walk underneath a certain overgrown tree magic will happen. The tree while very beautiful I guess could be considered quite intimidating because if you pass underneath it alone, you'll never get married but if you pass underneath it with your sweetheart, then you'll get married to that person. Well being in a hurry I accidentally passed underneath that tree without knowing until I did it and obviously it wasn't with my sweetheart. So now the bleak arctic landscape that is my love life with a thin ray of hope for warming up is now a nuclear wasteland...oh well. (I assume I'll prove this tradition wrong but I wanted to end on that most hopeless note :D) |

| Your Hidden Talent | 
You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system.
And while this may not seem big, it can be.
It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes.
You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices. |
I was also at the local Supercuts today and got a decent haircut (probably not as good as something Mary Ann could give ;D), but my main reason for mentioning this is as I was waiting a Middle Eastern man got called up to get his haircut and some ignorant fuck says "You're gonna let that foreigner go first?" As you could probably understand this really pissed me off but the girl (who was actually pretty cute) told him to sit down and wait his turn. These kind of moments make me wish I could turn into a huge 250 pound linebacker and beat the shit out of white trash motherfuckers like that. I'll just contact Doctor Banner about this. |

That's right; the hurricane didn't fuck much up. Not to say that it hasn't but everybody's doom saying about windows shattering and glass slicing out my eyes has yet to happen. In fact the day has been quite nice and only windy, I hope we still get rain or I'll be pissed. :D
Sorry about not posting anything for about a week or two, I've had a lot to do here in College Station but most of it has been fun for the majority of it, I guess. I've been working concessions for Cepheid Variable two games in a row and while the first game was a nightmarish romp through greasy burgers and sausage, Thursday's game was relatively tame. That's probably because we had 15 people running a 14 person stand instead of just 8 (that must be it, right?). Either way, my classes are going pretty well. We're learning about value and saturation just like in high school but this time I actually get it. My art skills are improving at what I'd say is an amazing rate, a few months ago I could barely draw a fucking stick figure, now I'm making copies of Van Gogh's self portrait using pastels and am having a fun time of it. I may just eventually start a DeviantArt page so people can critique my work. Isn't it so cute? I'm becoming the little artist that I should've been nurturing a long time ago.
Oh and also if you go to Newgrounds.com, check out a flash called "Love the Bomb". It's about a nuclear holocaust and is in four parts. It's slow moving but the writing and flash art in it are really excellent. "Love the Bomb: 3" should be on the front page but you can easily navigate to the first one using the drop down menu. So remember boys and girls when we eventually do unmake ourselves and return to the earth as irradiated ashes, then we'll all be able to learn to love the bomb. |

Yeah, I know yesterday's journal entry was a bit...well let's just say immature. I am often prone to rant at times, and make doomy assumptions but I guess that just me :D. Thanks a lot for the advice Mary Ann, it's true you have to get apathetic to these things but I bet I annoy him too. Playing Unreal Tournament and Guild Wars at 1 o'clock in the morning...hehe -- that and playing the Locust (<3) and all kinds of music at different times of the day. And by the way I miss you guys too. Anyway today was pretty good, I had to copy one of Leonardo da Vinci's works, a grotesque, and I did a pretty good job on it and am quite proud of myself. I am beginning to see my self more as an artist then I used too and am actually getting used to the idea, even though I'm a long way off from being up to da Vinci's standards (probably never). As I slowly adjust to life in College Station, everything is becoming a routine. But my one wish is that it really should rain a lot more here, its so humid it ought to, oh well. That's all for now. |

Damn I am bored, not much going on today and I've still got a shit load of homework due. I guess I could be mature about it and say that all this work is worth it and will help me get into a good job but I'm not going to be. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. There, no more immaturity, my roommate of course is going to go out once again. He stayed out all night last night just like he did last Friday night, I don’t know what the hell he does but I can guess. Yeah, I could follow him but fuck that, he's probably going to go get cuddly with his "gf" and watch sports. You know, not that I'm complaining or anything (just like I am right now) but he only watches sports, and I mean only. Well that's with your exception of the occasional channel flip to MTV to watch Laguna Beach or some shit but damn I am getting tired of marching bands buzzing in the background with the occasional shrill pitch of a referee's whistle. I realize the entirety of this was in fact a rant and most of it was immature complaining but fuck it, I'm irritated and want to have some fun too. |

It has been a few days since my last post; this is not so much due to laziness as it is to the fact that I have a lot of shit to do here in aggieland. After only having recently finished a project in which you had to fit 100 pieces on a small rock and create a civilization, I've also been doing a lot of drawing. Granted my drawing isn't spectacular but it isn't that bad and continues to improve as I am forced (somewhat) to draw more and more. Projects and drawing aside I have also opted to try to join a few clubs. One is called AgCG, its a computer graphics club and they encourage personal projects and also help you get acquainted with 3D rendering software, I have to be at the first meeting in about an hour so I'll probably post a follow up soon (hopefully). Another is a sci-fi club that covers all the realms of science fiction and is slightly less shady than the Aggieme' club which only watches what appears to be really girly anime'. From what I could tell about the leader with his chili bowl haircut and his large fake-looking mustache, he probably draws a lot of the anime' he watches naked (and I do mean with tentacles). The only problem with this sci-fi club named Cepheid Variable is that they appear to make every attempt to scare the casual sci-fi fan off with their weird cosplay, even though in reality it really just reminds me more of a convention, so it will take a lot more to scare me off -- that and I'm not your usual sci-fi fan with the exception of being fat, acne prone, and lonely (I have friends, just not here in College Station :D). My hopes are to meet people who are in to the same things I am and most hopefully (though not probable) hot chicks who are into the same things as I am. Like I said probably not, but I'm going to try to be genuinely hopeful and not too pessimistic. You never know because there are a lot cute girls everywhere so chances are good. That’s all for now. And, yes, I know I’m a loser. :p |

I drew my room today that project is due tomorrow oh and by the way it sucks. Oh well. I finished going to all my classes, not all of them will be terribly fun but I don’t think any will suck. Everything seems to be all gravy for the majority of the time besides the constant fatigue. Oh well. I ate in the diner today and a young man who was Korean sat by me. He said his name was Kevin and we shared an awkward conversation for about ten minutes both eating quietly, he eating his ham and I my apple and orange slices until a friend of his found him. He said, “Nice talking to you, we’ll probably never meet each other again, oh well.” I replied, “That’s the way it goes,” and he left me to my orange peels. Oh well indeed, his statement really struck a cord in me. It seems that in life we meet people, share however much time it takes us to each do our “thing” however awkwardly, then we just move on. You know it may be a small world after all, but it’s a small world with walls. Who knows, perhaps Kevin and I may see each other again but it really won’t matter, each of us will be too caught up in our own business to really give a shit so what does it matter if we ever actually meet again? But that’s just the way it goes I guess, each of us goes through our life meeting and touching other people but it only seems for a minute, fleeting and then its gone and we as humans could care less. Oh well. |

Ahh, today the first day of school. While many may grimace at this fact, I was actually excited. Suffice it to say I got hit with a case of the homesickness yesterday and woke up a little sick for some reason today so I was hoping getting busy would help clear things up. It did in some ways but then again the Advil prollay helped just as much as well. Either way I think my classes will be "kick ass". My drawing class will combine regular drawing with Photoshop, and my homework (already) is to draw a sketch of my room. No biggie, just need the supplies. Tomorrow I've got to get up at 7 for an 8 o'clock class and it will suck. Thanks for all the comments, I guess I'm a sophomore with 40 hours but I certainly feel like a freshman, or a red-ass fish as they call them. Food is a little hard to find after 7 pm but I did; now if I could only find someone to eat with I think life here would get a little better. There was a get together last night, an annual thing my Dorm hall does, its increasingly apparent that my dorm room was specifically created for those with a bit of the musician in them, everyone had a band including one that did a cover of Last Caress (one was even in a dress!), that and the fact that the musician in each of them sucks but that's only my opinion as of now. I met a guy who was into Indie music, he seemed ok, your average scene kid except he didn't like the Locust but that's just about it I guess. By the way, when I was in a sandwich shop two very interesting characters came up behind me. I'm certain Laura would love them, one had a Virus song stuck in her head and the guy had a Sid Vicious haircut and combat boots, though his clothing did look a little new (not too terribly punk if you ask me); either way both of them went on about how each of them was a fascist and an emo bitch so I guess what the moral of this story is that there all shapes and types of people, including a lot of hot Asians (Geoff :p). That's all for now. |
