Steak & Reese’s
What makes a perfectly seasoned 10oz. steak better? Finishing the meal with two packs of refrigerated Reese’s peanut butter cups :].
Reformatting… Again…
Reformatting a computer is such a bitch. This is the second time this year. Last year I ended up reformatting twice too. Another year I had to do it thrice. Fuck… This happens so often because I come to a situation where I have to plug in someone’s flash drives/portable hard drives to my computer and their shit is carrying spyware and/or some sort of virus. FUCK. Lesson finally learned. If I don’t know where your shit has been, I won’t plug it into my computer. It’s like AIDS.. I don’t want my computer to have AIDS anymore and have to restore it back to its optimal state. Jesus… Only three more hours until I’ve finished the backup and reformat process yay !
Another Night At Nora’s Wine Bar
There is an art to dealing with the boredom of an 8-hour shift. An art to putting your mind somewhere else while the seconds slowly tick away. I found that all the people working here had perfected their own individual art. Take Sharon Pintey. Sharon knows rule #1, the clock is the enemy. The basic rule is this: the more you look at the clock, the slower the time goes. It will uncover the hiding place of your mind, and torture it with every second. This is the basic art in dealing with the trade of your time.
My Last HW Assignment
[EDIT JUL252010] “Grade B – This is just screaming out for a caption, what is he yelling to the sprouting leaf out of the stub? Dan” Hahah shit.. I got the grade I expected :]. CAN’T COMPLAIN!
Description:
For this assignment, you will create an organic design using custom Illustrator brushes. You can create a tree, flower, or any type of geometric abstraction you can think of, but the design should look organic and be interesting and complex. Use color and vary the shapes to increase the organic nature of the design.Instructions:
Use the default Illustrator page size.
Create custom Art and Scatter Brushes to achieve the proper look.
You may also include a background and some text in your scene.Purpose:
To gain experience creating and using custom brushes in Illustrator.
I think I totally missed the point of this assignment. I fucking drew Domo-kun… And I did it freehand [I thought the point of this assignment was to do everything freehand] using the paintbrush tool like in MS Paint instead of using the pen tool which most professional digital graphic artists use. My fucking picture looks so mediocre compared to the rest of my class. Ugh I feel like all of my classmates said FAIL! when they viewed my assignment. Haven’t received my grade/comments on it though. I’m hoping for a B at minimum and a comment that reads, “Very interesting. I like that you’re thinking outside of the box.” Wishful thinking blows.
My assignment is the very last one.
Day 11 — A deceased person you wish you could talk to
My Grandpa. He passed away last year on September 16. It was really unexpected. I had just talked to him a couple nights before his death and it seemed like he was in good health. When I got the news I was in shock. My Grandpa’s death was the first death I experienced in my family. I was in denial when I got the news. I didn’t know how to take the words Grandpa Neto passed away this morning. I just couldn’t register it. Two months before his death he wanted to take a picture with me, Perry and Sean. I thought it was kind of funny because he never wants to take pictures out of the blue like that. I think he did it because he knew he was dying and wanted his grandsons to have a recent picture of him before his death. That’s the only logical explanation I can think of.
I wish I could ask him: “Did you know you were dying?” “If you did, why didn’t you tell us?” “Did you take a picture with us [Me, Perry and Sean] because you wanted us to have a recent picture with you before your death?”
I miss you, Grandpa.

Day 10 — Someone you don’t talk to as much as you’d like to
Nobody really comes to mind when I read this topic. My mind is literally blank. No… wait… I’d like to talk to my ex-girlfriend. That wouldn’t be such a good idea though. We’d both relapse and be back at step one with moving forward. I miss her. I really do. Sometimes I’ll go to Easy Life and start to think about her. Actually, that’s all the time. I’ll be thinking about me getting her a banana smoothie and bringing it to her at her house with a “Hi, babe!” hello, a hug and a kiss. Then another hug… and another kiss. Lol. I know she likes those banana smoothies so that’s why I’d choose that. That’s all just in my head though. I’ll come back to reality and there I am just sitting alone at a table for four. Fuck long distance relationships. They’re not meant for people our age. Big sigh..
Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet
I’m a day late on this. I know.
B-boy King So. This b-boy is fucking AMAZING. He’s still doing the same shit from 2008-2009, but back then he was THE fucking all around b-boy (imo of course). He has footwork similar to Born, power like Bruce Lee, kills beats like no other and has his own flava. He’s my inspiration when it comes to style. I actually reconstructed my top rocks last year to be as clean as his.
