Is it time to be a wage slave yet?

iTunes and HIM and the Used are my saviours.....i've listened to In Love and Death like 8 times so far today, and I play HIM constantly which is keeping me slightly sane.

I really want to do laundry but technology says I want to go to class dirty tomorrow.

I really need a job as well....things are looking rather grim these days =(
probably could use some medical attention lately as well...my back and leg have been complaining about movement for the past 3 weeks, no money for therapy or chiropracty though, because my super insurance won't cover it, not to mention i can't even afford the co-pay on a regular doctors visit.



gloom and doom as usual. student loans are going to dry up soon i imagine...summer looming ahead ='s a 3 month stretch of HELL...hopefully i can find a job soon either in CT or back home in NY...though I think the chances of that happening is slim to none, also been missing a special person a great deal lately and it's hard to be in contact with her because of family reasons so..=\..dunno what to do about that either.

I think this is the only time that throwing money at the problems will make them go away....

......'cept all I have are pennies and nickles.



Just gotta hold out for a few more weeks till summer break, then I'll be free....until summer school starts*sigh*

Screaming Temporal Doom

I think this school is giving me mental handicaps. It's bad when I sit in class and just shake/twitch. Today in my 2d animation class I made a flashing red and white movie clip to try and induce some epilepsy related malady...it didn't work, it just made me angrier at Flash MX 2004.

It's bad when I have to restrain myself from yelling "FUCK SPEED IT UP!" at a Professor. It's not that the class is slow, it's that I sit in a class room full of 17 dual processor Apple G5's from ~830am till 1130am and the computer sits there barely used. We spent at least an hour today reading blogs...BLOGS!!!(i know, the irony but...stfu)

And I'm not just bitching about one class I'm bitching about...well ok not all but two of my classes...2D animation is moving along way too slow, I think I'll spend one of these weekends just completing all the tutorial work. Also, EN102 can roll over and diiiiiieeeee. I know i can write, albeit horribly but c'mon, stream of consciousness writing is the best. Nobody really cares about what some college kid wrote about Hamlet...not even the kid who wrote it.

But back to what I had originally planned on bitching about:
School is giving my brain damage.

I think this is why most art/design majors smoke pot and do other mind altering substances...it's to quell the rage...or in my case the "Korean Fury"(note: not authentic Korean fury but a white boy's facsimile).

If anyone out there is still reading this and can get me a real job in Motion Graphics...like...yesterday...get at me. Remember the good old days of Apprenticeship? I do. If you can get me out of here and give me on the job training in Flash and Maya, help me. Guarantee me a steady job and money and I'm there. I don't have much in terms of a portfolio at the moment but I can show that I am competent and I can be a apt and prolific student assuming I have a COMPETENT person to direct me (Anyone affiliated with EA need not contact me, unless you are Piano Squall..you're cool.).

You fine people at Working Designs kick much ass too.

If I was not burdened with writing some stupid paper about Plato for philosophy and a 5 page report on the weapons and tactics of the revolutionary war I would finally be working on busting out a portfolio and working on finalizing some concepts I've had bouncing around the rapidly increasing space between my ears.

I thought college was supposed to make you smarter...

[angst]

wow i have like zero creativity these days. I hooked up my tablet tonight in an attempt to create something and all i got was crap. I just can't seem to eek out any talent these days. Nothing is really motivating me to create and the more i try the more frustrated i get. maybe tomorrow i'll break out the sketchbook and try some analog sketching for the time being...

Boom Town Blues

Today went rather well...of course not having to go to class till 2pm always helps.

Liz stopped over and had lunch with me, which was nice cuz i haven't seen her since december

i had something to bitch about but i really can't remember what it is...because halfway through my ranting process i got yanked to go get some food, and after chowing down on some tasty, tasty nachos I really don't feel like complaining about anything. Nachos, the opiate of the masses!(tm) (^_^)_b

Off to read Jeckyll and Hyde for my english class tomorrow!

sprung cleaning

if only cleaning house was as easy and cleaning up the site.

i deleted all the old, school related entries...all four of them. so this is my new rant space....i suppose i should write something but i could really care less at the moment. i'm too busy sitting here being envious of whoever Sammy got to create the game sprites for their Guilty Gear series. Ophi sent me this link earlier and i've been thinking of ways to extract the talent from whoever did the legwork for the character designs and injecting it straight into my brain.

Also, go find the soundtracks to the Guilty Gear series. Daisuke Ishiwatari is a rock GOD. I only wish I could find more information on him.

If you've noticed my formatting is nonexistant...and i'll type however i damn well please, so deal with it.

I'll be back tomorrow w/ more bitching..
