lol well that’s all I seem to be using this blog for so far… not sure what I’m supposed to be doing with it, but… mehhh

bahgabahgabahga!!!! knifed my own self with little attention to one project and mass attention to another– woodshop is getting fun, assuming you can get shit to work and not have to pay fucking doucherious fines for it… but hopefully by… say 2 weeks from now? I’ll be a little better at handling scary cutting equipment and be able to produce some nice work? awesome is too good of a word to say for my work…

anyways, just found out about kid sister, the rapper artist chick, supposedly Kanye’s protege or something, so I’m definitely gonna have to check up on that laterrr

and in other news, i’ll hopefully be joining the NATIVE creative designs team for their start up shirt making label– we’ll see how that goes too– MONEY IN THE AYERRR!!!! [lies]– but in other words, be one of daaahh artiisttss

I am a windmill

I don’t know what that means. It came into my head just now so I decided to put it as the header.

I had to work at my school’s woodshop today. I’m currently doing two wood sculpture projects at once, one is a box that is going to have a snapping turtle on the top of it while the other is a vertical ‘unmonumental’ object that’s supposed to emulate whatever materials I got from Home Depot in that 2 hour span.

I also have to write two essays; one is a 4-5 page synopsis on the Social Production of Art, which I find very hard to follow, probably because heat never really helps me pay attention in class, and it’s a lot of the kind of reading material that puts me to sleep or makes me daydream or something…

The other essay is a comparison of two selected stories [our choice] from what we’ve read so far in our class and to compare and contrast the themes and pick a point that we can try to prove for whatever reason. Why do college essays seem so much more open ended all of the sudden? Or have I just been missing something this entire time?

And today I met a girl who know’s a girl who’s also from Norcal. Yay!

I had to read a 4 part writing from a guy named George Saunders [http://www.thegodparticle.com/2003_08/01Saunders.html]. The second one was supposed to be what hit me most, but I only glazed through it and didn’t really get a chance to look through until class started today. It was sickeningly interesting because it talked about a specifically geared… trail towards death… like, a walk that would last for 3 hours until the individuals in the hallway until the end of it that would end in a supposed death– I’m going to have to reread this to find exact context.

The sad part of today so far is that I almost fell asleep in class like… 10 times today…

Mainly about money right now

Ugh… I have $230 left for the rest of February…

a $50 jacket [it was on sale!!!] cookies chili salsa chips diet coke a Qdoba burrito food from Beef and Brandy other groceries

Things I need to spend on: groceries: rice, vegetables, sauce, chicken, rice crackers, and hard candy– the good ones… art supplies random drinkage and whatnot [but I need to keep it under $30]

I need to think about time and money management, finding a paying job, saving money, and getting through college…

Start of the new semester

jamesophone — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:27:00 +0000

So let’s see… this is my second semester at SAIC, a private art school in Chicago. I’m a freshman and I’m Korean-American. I’m from California, I like In N Out Burger, and I guess I’m slightly dimwitted, even though I’ve done everything in my power not to be.

One of my friends thought I should start one of these about 2 years ago but I only decided to actually do it today…

So right now, I feel like I’m falling out of the whole idea that I’m an artist because I failed one of my classes and I guess that suddenly shorted me out, even though I know I didn’t perform to the best of my ability in that class anyways. I just feel like I have no motivation at the moment, nothing to care for or anything really. It’s weirdly sad because I want to have something to care about, I just can’t summon up the will right now.

I want to volunteer somewhere in Chicago. I guess I need to start looking, right?
