ups and downs
yesterday I finally committed to living in the house a few blocks from campus. So I feel relieved at that cause trying to pick housing for next year was def stressing me out pretty hard. but now i got to deal with trying to find furniture for my room.
The past few days I have been trying to force myself to be creative and pop some nice art out of thin air for the show Friday. someday I hope that I'll realize this approach to creating never works but today was not that day. I ended up wasting a lot of time and energy with barley nothing to show for it all at the end of the day. I felt like I was going in circles. It was quite frustrating... but this is the story of my life.
Gym Class Heroes - '85
"one move to the next, clocks switch when you least expect and make the simplest ish complex"
I started to get some creative juices flowing as my need to release my frustration manifested itself into images. unfortunatly at that point i was pretty tired and had lost my focus for the night... so ill save it for tomorrow...perhaps for the live painting...
Conclusion: I worried way too much about getting ready for this lil art show tomorrow. and in the process wasted my time and energy which I could have better spent making money or working on my DR painting.

Today
Today i woke up at 8:30am and went to Raleigh to look at some apartments for next year. I think I've decided that I want to stay in this house with some grad students tho. I'm excited and nervous bout that but I think it will be good for me to take a risk.
Then I went to work at R&R Customs in North Gate mall. usually Tuesdays are pretty slow just like Mondays but so far it seems like this week is gonna be pretty busy. I finished my red black and white Nike dunks today (pictures will be put up soon). I'm still struggling with coming up with a design for my Filas that I want to show at the Art Life Style Tour this Friday at the 202 Lounge in Durham! (please come, advance tickets online www.artlifestyletour.info) I am also trying to come up with a design for a white or black dress that i bought a while ago but I donno what ima do wit those yet. I just want to have new stuff for ppl to see Friday.
Yesterday I left work early and worked out at the track until sundown. I was so proud of myself!! I worked myself hard and it felt good to be getting back in shape again. I have been working out once or twice a week at BEST all summer. Which is pretty sad :-( this summer is the longest amount of time I have gone without working out or training regularly, since I got serious about sports my sophomore year in high school. so this has been kinda scary for me but I think I'll be ok. lol.
Hmmm so what else is new... oh ya so I'm thinking about being a professional painter when i graduate cause I love doing Industrial Design but I'm not confident in my skills and I dont think I will get a job. Also, I think I have potential in doing gallery art and it will allow me to be more creative and express myself freely through my art, whereas with industrial design I cant really express my emotions through my products. So ya thats kinda big... I am still thinking about doing Teach for America for two years after I graduate too. which would fit better with my painting career better than it would fit with industrial design...
ok well thats enough for now... tootles!
