B.S. and Farwell Kisses

yesterday was critique for my final photography class for the end of my undergrad...never will i be a undergrad again...unless i go into biology or something...highly unlikely.
i dont think i could dissect any animal

Crit was crit. I really believe i cant say anything in that class. One of tow things would happen. Id have a handful of people thinking that the comments I would have said were because of non-relivant social b.s. or they would not understand.
thank Buddha for blogs. :)
First, to get it off my chest. If the first thing you tell me when I first meet you is that your supposed IQ is above Einstein's, im gonna consider you a douche bag of the back. But ill give most the benefit of the doubt till i know for sure. Your consistent need to bring attention to yourself and constant measuring of a specific body part doesnt impress me. I find it highly entertaining that you can pull the wool over the majority of these undergrads; they are either extremely dumb.....or....dumb. Either way....i waited and waited to see how it would all turn out.
IT SUCKS....of course the conceptual idea is really cool. if it were your idea...but rendering the objects you did with a computer wasnt your idea...you said so yourself. And even through that you never made any effort of improving the idea or the technical aspects of your work. It looks like shit on paper in my opinion. The online images are more appealing, but write an artist statement that is cohesive with what you are showing in the work NOT just blabbing crap about your background and how you were raised under Newton's law.....DUH, we all were...we live in the same world. that's why its a law of physics and not a religion. Furthermore, just print right. if you think you can pop these out with no regards. So dont let your head swell because you have a lot of work ahead of you. I dont think that this is a "complete project" or that it is "perfected", but let them tell you that because its just one last person I have to worry about as a competitive "peer artist".
Next.
You may have been in the game for a while, but you should be further ahead right? i mean you have a lot of potential, if it wasn't for you daily, make that hourly excuses. I appreciate your forewarning of you FINAL portfolio not being up to par. I repeat myself, just one less.
I mean come on we have been working on these portfolios since the second week of school and you do not have this completed because you ran out of ink at 10 pm....yeah yeah and i know you are busy..but shit, we ALL are. You didn't not even complete new work...you reprinted old work...so tell me exactly what all you were doing this semester? You cannot live on excuses for the rest of your life. There is this higher-being epidemic going around...and before you say from this blog that i have caught it too...in my defense this is better boosting this on a blog and not straight at everyone, and in NO WAY is my portfolio completed, finished, or perfect. there is always room for improvement. And I plan on it.
It really just is so maddening seeing portfolio after portfolio of old work, and no new stuff....like WTF did yall do this semester? (besides a other few hard and really good "peer artists" who crated new work and put together a good portfolio) I just think all my hard work in creating new work.....really just set us ahead, which in the end is better for us on a personal level. But i still think shit about all you who didnt complete this class in my mind.
....yea a rant..ive been waiting all semester...i didnt know if it would explode here or in real time. Its not that i am some horrible person, and i hate these people. I just think as seniors and as representation as a school of art where i am graduating from, there should be higher standards. that these students should have better works and work ethics. That they should be challenged and not always babied. I believe in love, but it should be balanced with discipline. some in this class should take a maturity pill, take there heads out of there butts, and wake up to the real world.
(some graduates could take the same advice)
This blog is not nice, it is the thoughts that irritate me regularly. It is not a "lubbock friendly" blog, but screw it im moving away! and ive been doing "lubbock friendly" for five years.
Im about to burst. :)

some new work im continuing with....

Dragon lady

After setting up a nice cookie table for a big party in some big apartment Julie comes along and decides that the cookies need to be heated up more so he takes over and I'm like WTF u dnt know about cooking real food and then she spills someething and it's all over my new gap jacket which she was like oh well and I started screaming at her about it being a 100$ coat and she's a fucking ugly bitch and then it's on

Bright Eyes

my sleeping schedule is so off....way off, as you can tell by this post taking place at 4:30 am. ridiculous. just listening to some of my favorites...Lua by Bright Eyes is perfect for this drippy weather that seems to have no end. Everyone here in Lubbock is pretty disturbed by the rain and humidity, but I am absolutely in love with it. Its melodramatic, romantic, and reminds me of home. Although i think my pup is getting agitated about not being able to spend extended amounts of time outside.

Actually had a pretty relaxing night. I worked today, but it was ok. After work i got to try a new Japanese restaurant in town, which happened to be way better than it appeared....always works out like that. After a full tummy there, we couldnt pass up all the rage or so i hear yogurt place next door. Spoonful, very hip, very busy. There was a line through the whole place, and when i ran into a friend she recommended her favorites. Reassuring me she knew what was good because she had been there everyday this whole week so far. haha. Yogurt was yogurt....toppings were what i liked.....peanut butter cups, strawberries, and sour gummy worms.... :) ¡delicioso! BUT my favorite part was the glass green tile with the dark inlayed wood....yeah i know, nerd. design nerd. the Kid Robot merch also gave a little tug at my heart!

At home tonight i watched The Time Traveler's Wife....honestly thought i would cry more....and then the ending came....and the waterworks flowed....that's what i get for growing up. I pretty amazing that all our lives we go around with the ideology about who were gonna marry and whose the utmost perfect form of a man. but when they are presented before us, we ignore it! we go along with our lives and sternly ignore what is in front of us. our "perfect". we get to a point where "they aren't our perfect because in no lifetime would perfect ever manifest itself!" well~open your eyes.
atleast that is how i see it.
