"What is life? Life is simply a box of cereal with the picture of a freckled-face kid on it." --me Ya know, as the days go by, I'm increasingly becoming more pissed at my parents. My mom has started to take over my bedroom closet because she doesn't have room for her clothes in her OWN closet. Soon I won't have any place to put my crap except on the floor (not that I don't do that already). I know too many stupid people. And no Beth I'm not talking about you. Sunday, February 25, 2001
"What do I want to be? I want to be big someday. Not big as in a superstar, but big. I want to be big enough that people can't ignore my existance any longer." --me "Only in dreams can men truely be free. Twas always thus, and always thus will be." I want to say thanks to the few people who IMed me and told me that my paged "rocked" while it existed. It still exists, but because of games some idiots are playing and my dissatisfaction with the design, I'm going to move it. But those few made me feel worlds better! It was good to know that I had some regular visitors. I've been spending this past few post-Ringling weeks trying to boost up my art skills. I've been attending a figure drawing class (of which I refer to as my "porn class" because it involves nude models) and going to local parks and sketching flowers n' such. I must say I can see a huge improvement in my observational artwork, but my anime art has suffered. I've been drawing for an hour tonight, and so far the image is a cross between anime and realism. It looks okay so far, but the hardest thing is to imagine where the shadows lay... oh well. Wish me luck. My old bud, Bobby, (who is also the former webmaster of my defunt anime club) contacted me and asked about starting it up again. Well after talking to some people in my area I decied to get it going one more time. It's called the Around the World Anime club, and we have a website, so check it out.

"In order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. Mankind. Basically it's made up of two words--"mank" and "ind". What does thses words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind." --Jack Handy I have a dream, that one day, everyone will be asleep and I will take over the world while everyone is in bed dreaming of rainbows and ponies. Yes, it was a real dream... I had alot to eat that night... mmm donuts.... *drools* Why are you looking at me that way? I don't like it when people look at me like that! STUTTERING STANLY!! Oooooohh... I only eat candy! You ever wonder why the sky is blue and the grass is green? Why isn't the sky green and the grass is blue? Ya know, like in Dragonball Z on Namek? That would be mighty spiffy to me. *Sings* Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great, if a sperm is wasted, Bob gets quite irate. *stops singing* Why are you looking at me????? The only difference between myself and a madman is, I'M NOT MAD! Or a man for that matter... hehe. Or am I? Do you ever wonder if there is such things as "other demensions"? I do. I belive that in the "other demension" the sky is green and the grass is blue. You know, that X-files stuff seems pretty realistic ya know. I mean common anyday grasshoppers and locus can take over your body and BAM you're dead. And then I take over the world. To prevent any grasshoppers and the such from taking over your ora, spray them with Tough Actin' Tinactin. Did you know my ora is bright yellow? That means I'm perky. I'm as happy as a little girl. For all you dieters out there, good advice from John Stewart. If you're not getting enough vegetables in your diet, eat a pound of ALL VEGETABLE Crisco! It serves up just like ice cream! "Ya want dat on da roof ma'am?" Bake sale you say? I'll be there! Oh wait... no I'm on a diet. Pasta primavera means "No meat for Steve". Poor Steve. If you ate cow tounge, techincally wouldn't your food be tasting you? Remember on the Twilight Zone when a man got his tounge cut off and he put it in a jar, and it grew and puslated, and gave birth to baby tounges? Pretty cool huh? I gotta go... CONTEST BABY! The entire bladi blah above (well not all of it...you have to figure that out yourself) has been derived from 11 specific things (6 tv shows, 3 movies, 1 band, and 1 artist). If you can name what each of them are then you can be RWS' bassist singer man! Well not really, you'll just be considered extra spiffy and we'll give you something, maybe a cool art work thing, a pony, or your very own van down by the river!! More than likely a cool art work thingy by Dot-sama herself! And if your name is Beth or Ashley, or Erin, you are not qualified to enter cuz you're already in the friggin band, or related to those who are in it already. Or if your name is Chris or Cody or Joel or Anarchy Kid (Daniel) you suck so I'm not going to give you anything, even if you get it all right which I know you won't so ha! Just email me ([email protected]) or Beth ([email protected])! Saturday, February 10, 2001
"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams" -Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) Today I bought two cd's: Toad the Wet Sprocket's Dulcina, and the Ramone's Mainia. At first when I spent the money I was thinking "Oh geez I'm probably going to regret this, there's so many cd's I want!!" But in the end, I'm really glad I got them, especially Toad's cd, I realized how much I missed listening to my brother's cd's. I remember when I'd draw to Dulcina, I had that sucker on repeat for the longest time. Toad is one of the bands I respect the most. Some people who listen in the same genre as I do don't really like them, but they're a good break from all the punk/metal/rock hype. My favorite song of theirs is "Hobbit on the Rocks" from In Heavy Syrup. It's a simple tune, but so much fun to listen to and sing. It sucks that they broke up, they are such an awesome band, but I guess it's best they do that then their music grow stale and no one listen to them anymore... kinda like what Ben Folds Five did. I also loved the Ramones. After hearing Mainia I can now hear their influence in Weezer's music. I talked to Jonathan tonight, and I played my partial song for him, and he said: "better than what I expected, especially with you just now learning to play" So that boosted my self-esteem! Then he played some of his band's music for me (FINALLY!!!) and geez they're really talented! I told him his voice sounded as if the singers from Stained, Tool/A Perfect Circle, and Creed all got together and had a baby. Pretty nifty eh? So there you go Jonathan! I wasn't saying all of that to be nice!! I even plugged you on my website, you should feel special now. Monday, February 05, 2001
Jonathan: Ya know, it can't rain all the time. Me: Yeah but when it does it always helps to know how to sing. Today I am one happy mofo! My trip to Ringling's Portfolio Day was a complete blast! I pretty much recived the same criticism about my art work (that I need to draw more observation art and figures) and my feet are killing me from standing in line for so long. But I so didn't want to go home, Sarasota and St. Petersburg are the most beautiful places, especially their beaches. I'm still going to try for Savannah, but if I don't make it there then I'm gonna push harder for Ringling cuz I like the area so much. While there I have decided that I do NOT like Dali's artwork. The dude is a complete psycho! And a total pervert at that. And when you look at some of his pictures you're thinking "What the hell was this guy on?!" But I simply adored the Ringling Museum, it was so captivating. You walk into the court yard and are immediatly surrounded by sculptures, and replicas of Michelangelo's statues. It's amazing how these artists did what they did. But the entire trip inspired me to develop a sketchbook (a school in Orlando has a teacher that is known as the "Sketchbook Queen". Their sketchbooks are composed of folding pages, layers, just extremely expressive and personal to each of the students and their talents.) Hopefully I'll scan the sketch I made at the museums someday. Friday, February 02, 2001
he stands outside waiting for you coaxing flattering bringing you down into the ground he tells you you're worthless its to the point you cannot I offered a helping hand Then one day "Man, like the olive, must be broken and bruised all in order to glow with light"
"The world outside, A world I never knew, Until the moment I stepped beyond my view." me Hmm college, something that I always thought was beyond my reach. But ironically I'm almost there. I sent in my transcripts to Savannah yesterday, so now I sit and wait for a reply. Tomorrow I embark on my trip with the AP Art class to Sarasota, Florida. We're attending the National Portfolio Day at Ringling School of Art and Design. I'm really nervous because there's only 5 students going, all girls, and I only know two of them. So maybe I'll make new friends, or just be my reclusive self and do nothing. Hehe I'm so pathedic. But also I still feel that my art skills are nothing compared to other people, but thanks to those of you who have sent me your praise, it's you people who give me what little self confidence I have (^.^);;  This Gundam pic was given to me from Beth. It is the GAYEST thing I have ever seen! And when I say gay, I mean they all look gay, cept for Heero, he looks kinda peturbed at Duo. It cracked me up that Quatre was wearing the frilly blue shirt, suits his personality perfectly. I title this pic Gundam Gay Fest 2001. Thursday, February 01, 2001
"Never care for what they say, Never care for games they play, Never care for what they do, I never care for what they know, And I know... ...and nothing else matters" Nothing Else Matters, Metallica Okay Chris Summers, that little blurb of lyrics is my responce to your guestbook entry. Metallica has been around MUCH longer than your dumb fake act bands. Why the heck does anyone want to listen to music that has no SUBSTANCE to it? All the singer does is scream into the microphone while everyone else just stums their instraments??????? And all their lyrics do is make you feel pissed off, I'd rather listen to Ben Folds Five or Weezer than KoRn anyday. Why? Because they're REAL, their music is REAL, it comes from them, they don't write music to please the public, or to make money off the popular trend. So don't tell me what bands suck and what bands rule. You can go listen to your Slipknot and smoke your pot, I don't care. By the way, does your mom even know you smoke pot?????????? |
