Woah it's the future

Man this blog is weird. I wonder how many people actually look at this thing. I forgot it existed for the longest time...Looking back at it reminds me of how frustrated I was at my writing and how silly I thought this assignment was. Oh yeah, this blog was an assignment for a class that I failed in college for those who dared to venture here. It's kinda cute and yet I really hate myself for being such a pretentious jerk in it. I guess I'll leave this up for now and maybe vent through it every once and a while. It's not anything worth reading though to anyone who has gotten this far. Just warning you. You could spend your time doing something better I assure you.

Proof of No Proof

I'm going to write something and not proofread it because I am going to bed in a few minutes. I'm breaking the laws of a professional blog. What would be even sillier is if this post turned out to be the most professionally grammatical and punctuated post out of all of my blog posts. I have a major project deadline on friday for my BFA class and I really hope that the content that I turn in is good enough for my portfolio because I learned a lot working on this project. Well there went the professionalness of this post because I can tell right now that the previous sentence I wrote is a fragment and I'm not going back to re-type it. Also one of the words in the previous sentence is not even a real word. Also, there is no comma after the "also" in the sentence before this one. Man this blog post just fell to pieces didn't it? I'm not sure who exactly I was asking that question to because right now in terms of where I am and what I'm doing I come off as talking to myself. In fact why do people feel the need to get their ideas out....oh wait I just answered my own question in my head. I would tell you the answer I came up with but I already finished typing this sentence that explains why I wont. Anyways goodnight myself I'll probably not touch you for a while again and ruin my grade for yet another class this semester :(

Post. Script. (I guess you don't need the periods if you're going to type the whole words out) There is no period at the end of this post period

Procrastination!

So tonight I couldn't focus.....I'm typing about how I can't focus and I'm supposed to be focusing on writing about other people's blogs...Oh well. I can't focus. I couldn't focus earlier so I went to penguin like an hour before they close to get some gelato (Penguin closes at 10:00 pm on weekends). Ha ha I typed that as if I was going to tell you they were closed but I actually did get some gelato. Man it's really weird that I'm being so honest with my posts in this blog (especially since I haven't been posting). I feel sorry for the person who writes about my blog...wait...maybe I'm sorry for myself because it would be really easy for someone to critique this blog. Hell I'll critique it right now. NOT ENOUGH POSTS. That might not be long enough to turn in. Oh well. Anyway. I was eating gelato and drawing people eating their gelato when I realized that gelato is DELICIOUS! I just finished my drawing when the girl at the counter said, "thanks for coming to penguin :)" which had a totally different subtext which I am not sure about typing in my class blog. So I left penguin so they could close or whatever and wandered around downtown San Jose looking for random bits of "story moments" to sketch for my BFA class assignment. Story moments are just drawing of people that indicate that something is happening instead of just drawing a static pose. Well a few things "happened" that I was privileged enough to capture. I was sitting in front of Jonny Rockets on a bench where there is a freight loading zone right in front. I got to see a homeless man wrestle with a garbage can then stare at it scoldingly. Then as I was drawing an old VW van stopped right in the freight loading zone. The driver rummaged in the back for a couple minutes then slid the back door open and flopped out the back of his van with a surf board in one hand and a leash hooked to a tiny black chihuahua in the other. Then the man just walked away...weird. I drew a picture of him and his little dog. All in all I think it was really interesting and silly, but it didn't write my blog critique for me. OH shoot!

The Amazing Journey

Today was an amazing day. I got to meet the famous James Gurney. He illustrated and wrote several amazing books and he is one of the few artists who uses a traditional illustration method where he paints all his reference from life in order to get the true colors that the eye perceives. He also does amazing amounts of research in order to make his ideas very believable. His visit sure inspired me. I wish I could have painted with him!

So this weekend some of my classmates and I went to San Francisco to do some research on board track racing for a new assignment in our class. One of my 'mates knew about this bar that had tons of old bikes in it, so we decided to check it out. The bar was really cool, but the owner of the restaurant and the bike collection was a blob-like, soft-spoken man attached to a defibrillator who apparently was into, "homosexual sex" as he so casually told us. The man was quite rude and it seemed like the waitresses were doing their best to keep him under control while doing their jobs at the same time.

What's funny is that the man appeared to not even know

what the waitress' names were. He would just cough out, "waitress!" when he wanted something from them. Well it made the trip interesting, and we got some great pictures in there.

Post # one

I have to start a blog because I'm an english class that requires it. It's kind of interesting though because the teacher says we can write about anything we want, but then says that whatever we write must be professional and for a particular audience. I was thinking about that and I felt like I wouldn't write whatever I wanted if I thought there was a specific audience reading my posts. I wouldn't want to be honest and tell people how I often over think things...

So I guess I don't really care if people know that about me because lately I've been feeling like I haven't been genuine with anything that I do, so maybe now is a good time to start. I'm not going to write with an audience in mind because I'm not writing for anyone but myself. Heh heh, sometimes I feel like while I'm writing and getting into the heat of things I forget that people are going to be reading these and just start talking to myself. Then again it's not like pointing out that I'm doing it makes it go away. Oh well, it's not like my teacher's going to punish me for breaking rules on my personal blog. in fact HAYAH! i didn't capitalize the beginning of the last two sentences in this post.
