Bunch of stuff

today is november 30th... and i havn't bought my choc. advent calendar yet :( thats sad.... i guess i'll just need to eat lots of choc chips in the morn... then eat extra calendar squares when i get one to make up the days i miss.... hmmm december, its close enough to christmas now! I'm gunna try to learn some carols on my accordion... it'll be great.... well now off the topic of christmas

I lost my fur... I finally gave in and let mom cut off my shag, and then I actually shaved my face... gunna have to do that more now cuz it looks bad to have the scruff going with shorter hair... trimmed down my sideburns now, I no longer resemble mr.Tumness in that respect... if I grow goat legs that'll be scarey....

wow I am rambling... it is after 12am, but i had lights out by 12 yesterday and slept in an extra 15min so I'm wired! still I should log off and go to bed, moms getting a bit ticked at my not really sleeping (shes afraid i'll fall asleep in 3D and lose a limb... yeah right, like they'de trust ME with power tools, lol, actually none of my current projects require such heavy machinery so I'm safe) anyways i think i'll log off now ... but first I'm gunna add color to this post to brighten everyones day, Peace

Christmas

i was just listening to my favorite christmas song... its a recording of Carol of the Bells but done by chickens and other farm animals, quite an interesting track... it breaks part way for a baby cry... its really cool, we use it for the birthing scene in our church christmas production.. I love it... speaking of church christmas production (Bethlehem Live) I managed to remove myself from th role of joseph this year... first year there was costuming problems and i sorta fell into the role.. second year they said I wasn't allowed to do another position cuz i did it too well... well this year they're using a real baby so they got the kids dad... and so I am Gabriel... a nice smaller part for a change.. lol nayways g2g peace

boring history class

My art history teachers switched a few weeks ago... I now have my home room and future textiles teacher for art history... SHE HAS NO IDEA WHATY SHES TALKING ABOUT!!! the other day she was showing us a slide of a Gothic church and telling us how its Romanesque... to top it off shes boring... anyways cuz of this i was sorta draeding art history today... it turned out to be alright... my old history teacher came in with a bunch of prints from the Northern renaissance... they were cool, then i just a read a book and pretendied i was taking notes... then the fire alarm went off and i just got to chill outside... apparently the sprinklers went off in the ceramics hall and it got flooded and sprayed with charcoal... luckily i wasn't there... they got wet... and ya that was my afternoon... pretty sweet actually

twisted thought patterns

i have a twisted mind, you all know that, I come up with weird situations and ask myself questions about them in my head... tis a strange habit... anyways i thought I'd share the twistedness

so being an online person I have many friend I only talk to online, I meet them in mosh pits, and in crowds and also through friends on online forums and msn... well i got thinking... I don't know where they live, and i don't know most of their full names, so... what if something happened- say one of them came online and said they were bleeding to death, what could i do? a very unlikely situation i know... but thats just what my mind does... anyways i found this a funny concept- how i can know pple so well yet not have any actual connection to their lives... funny how that works

The Role Of Art

lol, so art, yeah... good stuff, I love it... been making it as long as i can remember, going to school for it at the moment, really fun stuff... What I had planned to do with my life.... but the role of art has changing in my life.... let me explain... but to do so we have to go back in time a bit... to the end of last year:

I wanted to study art at university, but also had intertests in anthropology, not wanting to be one of those students that pays first year tuition and then switches programs to repay first year tuition I applied to a specialized art program through a highschool in London. Well I got in, and thats where I am... I had also gotten accepted at all the Universities I applied to, Windsor (my first choice) even offered me a pretty sweet entrance scholarship... but I decided to do this free art program for a year first... to get some practical skills and to make sure that this is what I wanted to do.... Good thing I did:

I do not want to make art my career

I never really did
but I wanted to do something art related- teach art at a highschool level- which would be a cool job... but things have changed as of late... starting with this summer

towards the end of the summer I began feeling called to do a missions trip
within the first 2 weeks of attending my current art school I was saying "This school is awesome, but its not where I am supposed to be"
being 2 and a half months into this school I am now saying "I do not want to continue studying art after this year"

I am not liking the art world: They are sex obsessed and have a twisted sense of reality... and they are far to liberal for my tastes... I already knew this of course... but has hit me alot harder with being in art school- also I want to do something useful with my life... making things for aesthetics is probably one of the most useless things you can do... I want to help people

and so I have decided not to study art any further, I will always do art, but this is my last time taking it as my full time studies... I am thinking of applying to some sort of cross cultural studies in the coming year, after of course dropping out of thsi school after 3rd quarter to do a missions trip (still waiting on acceptance of my application).. and ya that is basically whats been going on... I was still playing with persuing art next year until recently... but no, i am done with formalized full time art schooling, I want to do art as a side part of whatever else I do- I do not want it to be the major part of what I do... basically that is what has been going on in my head as of late

peace, life is tubular: no matter what is going on

so i'm taking this survey thingy off my sisiters blog... figured it could be interesting with my collection of music

It's a muscial life story survey. Here's the soundtrack of my life, based on the following rules: 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For every question, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button 6. Don't lie ---
Opening Credits: supermario theme song
Waking Up: some classical oboe piece
First Day At School: helpless automation- men at work
Falling In Love: yoshi story theme song
Fight Song: kuma etcha (some israeli piece- really happy sounding)
Breaking Up: Shut me out- Kutless
Prom: horse race - surprises on a chinese violin
Life: phantom of the opera- surprises on a chinese violin (funny cuz it has synthesizers going at the same time aas a chinese violin)
Mental Breakdown: Jesus- Jason upton
Flashback: Nap pulls kip -napoleon dynamite soundtrack
Getting Back Together: another classical oboe piece
Wedding: Yoshi beatbox (a techno remix of yoshi's theme)
Birth of Child: Can you hear me- Raze
Final Battle: Coulda,shoulda, woulda- petra

End Credits: Granny ATV- Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack

Haha, wow some of those are random and totally unfitting, especially that Israeli song for the fight... its a very very happy sounding song, lol... wow glancing up at the list i realize how random my music is (almost anything that would be classified as normal is on my comp cuz I stole it off a friends comp... my Cds are pretty random)

balance

balance... hmmmm... ya.... not really a word to describe me.... i go from obsession to obsession, I've decided to try to create balance.... cut out all my obsessions... and now am slowly reintroducing them... starting to play nintendo abit more again- but not too much, started reading agian-but not too much, and am slowly cutting down on my internet time

crowd surfing!

i went to see audio adrenelin last night in TO, they were amazing, one of the best concerts i've ever been to--- had met my friend chris is TO earlier that day, he picked me up during the concert and sent me surfing- SO MUCH FUN! i wasn't up for that long and then got dropped... my shoulder hurts now- neck too headbanging does that i guess- still it is soooo worth it... man i had the most amazing weekend

i am soooooo excited

haha! i'm going to TO this weekend, and i get to see Chris! haha this will be a rockin saturday, seriously... i am going to see audio adrenelin too! wow i am sooooo excited....lol, well better go to school now

Apparently I cursed myself

so according to my sculpture teacher i am being cursed by a stone.... i spent the afternoon sawing through this amazingly beautiful piece of alabastor... ya apparently your never supposed to saw such a nice piece in two.... he says i've brough an artists curse to myself... that the stone won't work out for me... hog wash, first peice that broke off broke perfectly into the shape of what i was carving.... thus proving that curses and superstitions are crap

life is good

life is good, school is fun, work is easy, and to top it off people are great... I have some of the strngest yet coolest friends ever... lol... but yes life is amazing, and to top it off I'm going to an audio adrenelin concert on saturday with my friend chris who i havn't seen in a while.... man life is swell

God is good

man, it became clear to me today how many blessings we overlook.. for example: It rained all morning... except that there was a break right at the same time I had to leave for work, the rain ceased right before i finished my shift... hence i did not have to ride in the rain... people get too caught in looking for big things that they overlook the simple daily things like this... sure you can call it a coincidence, but i don't think life really has randomness to it... even the most random of events fits into a plan... but ya, God is great

so, the evil cow has been sent to become burgers... and i learned why you wait before removing the filter from the milk pipeline... if you open the seal too early.. a few liters of milk comes hurling in your direction (luckily i hadn't completely pulled out the seal yet... so the milk hit the handle and went spraying 2meters in either direction)

secondly, sculpture class is amazing... soo much fun... basically all the techniques we use are sorta like what kids do when they play, put yer hands in goop, build stuff with plasticine, etc... only of course... you don't give this stuff to kids cuz they would be likely to cut their arm off or something.... but ya it is very very fun

evil cow and my school is trying to kill me

so... apparently the evil cow at work (not the one that used to kick me... think of it when yer at McDonalds) but the new, bigger one doesn't just hate me... it kicks the other part time too... so it may sent to the chop shop one day too... unless it smartens up

so i started sculpture class today... i can basically work with any medium i choose... but all include risk of: burns, cuts, getting caught in rotating blades, getting hit by ricochet, etc. etc. they secretly wanna kill us off, but thats ok... i seem to escape any serious injuries... and then injure myself doing mundane things like opening jars.. lol.... well thats all for now

ah, yes the return of dead lines

so after the crazy busy end of school last year i though I would never want to see another due date.... turns out you miss them after a while... first term drove me crazy cuz my program is soooooo relaxed.... but i'm in commercial art now, which has due dates, and keeps you busy and constantly at work.... ah its good to feel like i'm at school again

I love socially awkward people

so me and my family went roller skating tonight, it was great, unfortunatley the rink is being closed for 9 months now due to renovations :( , but thats ok we always only end up going once a year anyways, but ya funny story with tonight:
so they have this speed meeting stupid thing where pple are supposed to get in partners with someone of the opposite gender, then when they blow the whistle the guys switch to the next girls skating (sorta like a spoof on speed dating, really stupid), but anyways as i was getting off the rink I this random girl grabbs my arm, pulls me over to the thing.... i'm thinking "ok, cool random person metting"... ya well she doesn't say anything... i evenetually get her name (which i forget of course), then right b4 it is about to start she runs away, ya sorta strange.... well later on, I'm skating with my mom and she comes along side me, doesn't say anything, but loops a finger on my pocket, and I'm thinking "ok this is kinda strange and unnormal, but who am i to speak of normality, actually this girl is kinda interesting" well when i processed this and turned to say something she ran away again (back to her group of friends).... now I love these kinds of pple, those who don't communicate in normal ways (such as talking), i get intrigued by them (which is probably due to my own urges to communicate in non-linguistic manners).... but ya my mom thinks she had a crush on me, as if this was a form of flirting or hitting on me, or whatever.... I didn't get this vibe, I think it was more a case of interest, of wanting to be near a person to observe them and make a sorta "friendship connection" by proximity.... yes it is strange, but I find this kinda thing totally cool, and I can see where these urges come from.... I'd like to hear peoples opinions on this and whether they meet people who are socially abnormal or whether i just attract them

I still have it in me

so having not written any essays this year, and taking a break from reading all that classic literature, I feared I had lost the ability to write... Especially since I was off by a week and had to write a 3 page essay on surrealism in one night (which started at 9 cuz i was tutoring after school and then off to milking) anyways, i wasted alot of time on msn while writting it, went to bed at like 1 or 1:30 (as I had other stuff to do as well), and get it back today 92%... well thats easier marking then in a 4U history or english class... but still good considering I haven't wrote anything for a very looooong time... apparently I still have that academic side in me.... somewhere... lol

I guess I do work for my money

i got kicked in the knee by a cow again today... I seem to have a resilliance to cow kicks... its was really painful but the limp only lasted 5-10 min... anyways thats all for now
