it feels like i have been in the city for ages now, i kind of love it here, pratt not as much, but i am happy because i get to do things that i love instead of being stuck with color-aid. i just want to make prints, i just want to push my ideas in as many ways as i possibly can. so many prints of dead birds, so many things i can do with them.
thats all that i've been making. birds and icarus, dead or dying things, i think its all so beautiful in some odd way.
jacques cousteau was my halloween costume.
fleece body suit (thank you buffalo exchange). red hat. kiss (gene simmons and all) on a float.
i am going to go to more museums. i am going to get out of clinton hill more often.
hello chelsea. hello willamsburg. hello printshow. hello new york.
i need to spend another day at the natural history museum. it is good because i have a lovely person in mind to take with me. wobble-wobble-knees.

why do i always leave my 6+ hours of drawing homework for the night before?
uuuuuuugh, perspective can SUCK IT.
at least she liked me more than most kids in my drawing review last week, thats a good thing.
...
all i want to do is make prints, and go on urban adventures, and sit by a body of water.
im too tired to function right now.
fuckuyouiwefuck.

i think im going crazy.
my days are endlessly devoted to making prints of birds and embroidery projects, with excessive amounts of coffee.
i avoid all other work and listen to joanna newsom because all i can think about is feather and vellum and books.
just wait till i start making woodcuts. i know from that point on there will be no turning back.

im so burnt out on art history.
so many fucking dates, so much useless information.
so many egyptians, and assaryians, and sumerians.
uuuugh. at least i went to the met the other day and the room of clyfford stills were some of the most amazing things that i have seen in a long time.
at least i have the whitney to look foward to for friday. perhaps the gugenheim too if i am lucky.
oh new york, how i love you so.

as of yesterday i've been here for one month officially.
it feel like its been longer than that, maybe because i've been busy busy.
not that work is overwhelming (thank you dr joyce for the best college preperation), but theres just so many things to do and see and places to be.
im suprisingly not homesick, there are individuals that i miss of course, but i think that i'(ve)/(m) adjust(ed)/(ing)pretty well.
i've just decided that my heart is in new england, and i think that i miss that above all, in addition to the surplus of the use of "wicked" but thats something completely different

observation: you only hear justin timberlake and jay-z in brooklyn.
no dirty south of course and a surplus of biggie and a tribe called quest.
im not complaining, i love it when you call me big poppa, but it would be nice to hear more wu-tang, considering that my new nickname is "wu," its lovely, dont you think?

been to our first NYC kegger (hardcore),
seen our first rats and cockroaches and hobos,
found our third partner in crime
...
it took us 2.5 hrs to get back to pratt today, about 10 miles and 5 ciggies
its AMAZING here, and its only been 2 days

say hi to your mom |

everything is in boxes.
i said goodbye to too many people tonight.
the most important ones come friday. well, all except one, probabally one of the most important ones at that.
all i need is a fucking hug goodbye but i guess even taking two minutes out of your time for someone who has really cared about you for the past two years is too much to ask of you these days. the fact that you're still important to me is overridden by the fact that you dont care about me, even enough for something simple like that. but none of this is going to make a difference, i know it.
you're being oh so selfish. stop it.

i saw an inconvenient truth with my dad and sister last night, and it just left me oh so so disapointed.
i've watched PBS specials that were much more effective at scaring the shit out of me than al gore and a powerpoint.
too much time was spent talking about gore. too little time was spent talking about political initiative and ways to make changes
nothing can be done without initiative, nothing can be done without modivation. in this case, nothing can be done without a large-scale effort, which i cannot see manifesting itself in this nation anytime soon due to capitalism.
what i dont understand is how Gore spent so much time in the second most powerful position in the United States, yet he waits until his time is up to make a large scale attempt to do something about it, even though he's had so much proof for all of these years.
it just dissapoints me how our nation does not take science to heart.
wheather its evolution, cosmology, or global climate change, we write off fact with falacy and then make half ass excuses that just dont cut it.
i just want to see the next president lead us through a progressive period with all of the hoop-la attached. find me the next FDR or Teddy Roosevlt and i'd be happy.
lets watch more PBS and less Al Gore.
