How the Hello Kitty Did This Happen? -- I've had three days off from work this week and all of a sudden I get a burst of inspiration and just spend the entire time working in photoshop and trying to paint. I did a self portrait on the computer, two images for the future punk-o-week, and painted a still life (after the painting I accidently stepped on an open tube of yellow paint...I just hope that won't mess up me getting my deposit when I move out...hehe). Then I went with some people to an artsy cafe to chill for a couple hours. After this I'm seriously considering to quit my job... I really need something with regular hours so I won't sleep ALL THE TIME, and just able to allow myself to have a life outside of the fudgin' computer! Since I can't get any interaction with REAL people (cuz I'm awake at 3 am) I have to rely on the net... and that gets weary after a while. Tuesday, April 09, 2002
Wowies... -- Well I have a new domain name and all that pretty stuff... now I just need to get off my lazy arse and start working on something decent eh? Monday, April 08, 2002
American the Selfish -- Today I had to deal with a customer that made me completely sick! A man came in at the front desk and filled out a folio. On the folio he stated there were 2 adults and 2 children, there ended up being more than that (meaning he's violated our health/fire code). Then some dude comes to the front desk with a bloddy lip cuz his room mate punched him. The cops came around to their room that evening, and that morning and when he and his party left the room was completely trashed. When the manager went to check the room the man started giving her crap and downing her for being foreign and whatever so the manager said back to him "Well I guess I'm better than you American because I know how to respect other people's property!". So the guy calls up while I'm on duty and starts giving me greif over the "racial slur" and threatens to suit for discimination and proceeds to lecture me about how I should be proud to be an American and blah di blah. To me its completely rediculous how the man is threatening suit when HE is at fault and has caused us so much trouble with his crap. Then to use his "patriotism" as an excuse to get what he wants from the manager. We've had problems from other people who try to pull the same stunt, and its all a bunch of poo gas!! I think this whole thing is getting out of hand. After 9-11 most Americans (or at least the redneck portion) have become elitests. Its as if it doesn't matter if one is an American citizen anymore. If you're not caucasian and "christian" then you don't belong here. I have a friend who is Muslim and he has no intentions on bombing anything, or cursing America, infact he was scared to death of what would happen to him after the attack happened. In his own words he said to me "right now I'm even scared of reading the Q'uran. Like its some evil text or something and that someone will come after me if they see me reading it..." The world over is filled with decent people, but no one seems to have tolerence for anything anymore... Wednesday, April 03, 2002
Attack of the Ponies -- Another friend of mine (whom is also named Chris) from Tallahassee and I had the following in-depth conversation: gaianblue: horses make me slightly nervous. IamMooFoo: how so? gaianblue: well, their very strong, fairly strong-willed, are known to bite and kick each other, and your sitting on its back kicking its ribs gaianblue: :D IamMooFoo: aww common! they gallop and neigh, and they're all named Black Beauty gaianblue: lol IamMooFoo: hehe! gaianblue: ahh, there ya go. thats my ball of cheese. pony rides. IamMooFoo: they're chained up so they can't do anything to you gaianblue: yes indeed! IamMooFoo: teehee, poor opressed things gaianblue: lol, jah. IamMooFoo: LOL! gaianblue: ALL HAIL THE GREAT MANE! IamMooFoo: NEEEEIIIGGGHHH gaianblue: *bares teeth and clip clops happily* IamMooFoo: Pony Power! gaianblue: lol IamMooFoo: Of course the speckled ponies are only half-breeds so they don't count to the other ponies, therefore their demands are ignored and they are deported out of the other ponies lands gaianblue: aaah! the great pony inquisitions where they try and torture ponies who have speckled blood in them for their own "redemption" IamMooFoo: And then they start making pony sacrifices to the great voodoo pony god gaianblue: LOL IamMooFoo: but the conservative white pony party hates bi-browns and considers them "immoral" so they try to wipe them out gaianblue: ROFL IamMooFoo: But unfortuantely the Black Facist pony party hates hippie ponies so they try to wipe them out gaianblue: Ahh! Ponies stuck in trenches, gaining a mile, losing a mile, always wondering where they put their flea combs! IamMooFoo: Suffering from malaria and scurvy these poor ponies fight for the freedom of their lands... from other ponies... gaianblue: the war is finally won when the tan pony country joins in unwearied to reinforce the tired pony soldiers and march proudly onward IamMooFoo: Then the humans come along and take the ponies as POWs and makes them serve as slaves in a terrible place known as the "carnival" gaianblue: A horrendous place filled with sneering faces, firey eaters, and several diabolical monstrosities called "clowns" IamMooFoo: and annoying brats who want to ride the ponies backs gaianblue: and the great circle begins again! AAAH! IamMooFoo: lol gaianblue: nooo, they had to doodle instead of listening to their teachers and become pony animators *grin* Tuesday, April 02, 2002
Chris says... -- Chris: Repeat after me "I'm special, not in a special ed. way but in a good way."
Look at Me! I'm Mary J. Blidge! No More Drama Baby! -- Well here I am in Savannah, GA and stuck in quite a rut. For once I have decided that although I'm not going to SCAD I'm going to do my danged best to make the best of what I can while I'm here and I'm gonna like it! Even if they don't show many indie films here... or I can't find a store that sells indie cds... and all that good stuff... but I don't care! I decided to move here and I'm going stop bitching. Since I had the day off today I've decided to please myself for once (Yeah I sound like some sort of Oprah special...aiyah). This week I ordered (and recieved) a scanner and wacom pen/wireless mouse with the leftovers of my Apple loan, made an Oreo pie for some friends who did a last minute favor that I really needed, went to the store and spent over $100 on my parent's credit card (which I will be killed for but oh well I can deal with that... hehe. And yes I did buy PRACTICAL items.), picked up Erin, Ashley, and Beth's presant which I'll give them when I go to Tallahassee, and went to Barns and Noble and bought the official Macromedia guide to Flash 5 and a Chinese Wok cook book! (Yippie! Home-made spring rolls for me!). The rest of today I'm going to spend cleaning my apartment... I donno how or when I became such a butt about keeping a clean room... its scary. But anywho I hate clutter. Alot... I guess it all boils down to the fact that I'm sick of breaking myself just to please other people and make everyone else happy except for myself. I either feel that I don't deserve to feel good, or I'm just too stupid for it... haha and I think normally I'd fall under the second category. So now I'm going to listen to depressing Tamahawk while I peppily clean my apartment and think of more ideas for my "future" flash movie I HOPE I will start to work on one day... hehe Tuesday, March 26, 2002
Argh! -- Every time I have something to type in here... I'm never at the computer. Last weekend I went to Hollywood Video and rented the Irish movie Orphens. That was the most depressing movie I have ever watched! And who ever filmed it has the most morbid humor too... but I liked the morbid parts... heeeee! I honestly didn't know if I liked it because how rough it was, yet at the same time it had those bits and pieces where you couldn't help but crack a smile, if not giggle a little bit. Crazy... I'm having a hard time deciding what to think of my new job. I like the work, and love my co-workers, but I hate having to work the midnight shift and only make six bucks an hour... that's barely enough to cover my rent... speaking of rent, I need to find another place to live... Friday and Saturday I worked from midnight until 8 A.M., then Sunday, after four hours of sleep, I had to go back to work at 4 P.M. So this entire week, what time I've had when I'm not at work is spent sleeping... But my boss was gracious to give me tomorrow and thursday off since I've worked 38 hours this week (thank goodness! More sleep!). I can't wait to go back to Tallahassee and see my friends again...

What Continental Breakfast? -- Well I have a job now, but I'm not going to disclose anything because I don't want any of you internet freaks suddenly decide you want to drop in and see me. I'm armed with... nothing... shit. I recieved an email from Swazigon and it made me realize how far behind I am with my artwork. I still don't know if I'm going to SCAD or not (hoping I will) and I don't have a scanner or photoshop... the two things I used the most when I was at home. Now that I have a job though I'm going to buy both when I can afford them, AND a PS2!! Can't wait to get some anime DVD's... hehe |
