Some Junk

Some stuff from drawing and LCD class that I'm not horribly ashamed of, mostly charcoal and graphite and imitation color-aid.

There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secrets, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Rest in peace, Jenn.

Nowhere

The bathroom is a place we go thats very separate from the rest of the world. We go not because we want to, but because we need to. It's not exactly a terrible place either, it's just this pocket of space that resides outside of our normal lives that we go to from time to time. It's a "nowhere" amidst all the "somewheres" in our busy lives; it's a break from reality.

Life is full of difficult situations with difficult solutions. Wouldn't it be great if there was some magical way for problems to suddenly solve themselves? Like a Deus ex Machina that would fix everything with little to no effort? Too bad. We are rarely provided with such panaceas, and even when we are, they usually don't cover every base like we hoped they would. When life puts you in a nasty bind, just deal with it the best you can. Sure, you might not come out of it as scot-free as you would like but chances are at very least that you'll make it out alive. Pick yourself up, learn from the experience, and plant an apple tree. When life gives you AIDS, make lemonAIDS. Don't sit around waiting for that miracle cure; chances are you'll be dead by the time its discovered.


get up and stay up.

Cognitive Exoneration

details
Sometimes you encounter something so strangely fascinating that it completely consumes your mind, and in the process sets you free.

Then again, sometimes you encounter really stupid stuff that makes you want to shoot yourself in the face.

Sometimes, a random guy named Niel will contact you and ask if you'll design a t-shirt for his website. This design will (eventually) be printed on t-shirts and sold on www.iratemonkey.net so if you like it you can go buy one (eventually).
