Ladybug Fields Forever

Thursday nights. The new Friday. I get home from a long day that just made it a long week. I think about tomorrow being Friday and that I don't have to go to class after work. Honestly its one of the best feelings.

Crap. I forgot how much I hate HW. So much of it is just to keep you busy. That's it! Those of you who want to be teachers. Do me a favor and come up with HW that actually helps. Really try please. I so want to rewrite how the system works so bad. Apprenticeships is the way to go. I swear.

Well I have three jobs. Sorta. My day job is with Georgetown Post which is not a paper but a video editing house. Where I edit videos and do other post stuff. Pretty cool. The other is a graphic designer for Rudeness Clothing. We're currently working on their second line. I'll post pictures when the shirts come out early next year. Hard work. Really. The third is a producer for the website VIMBY. In simple words its a start up and things haven't really kicked yet, but we shall see. I think its going to be big for a while on the West coast. Anyways....the way I got it set up is that my main job pays the bills and my other jobs give me that extra cash to get over the hump. But my main ISSUE here is how fast I burn my spending cash. WOW slow down. I budget and balance my checkbook, so I'm not spending rent money but I do have a discretionary fund that almost never makes it through a weekend. Its about self control people!

Um...did anyone see B.Spears on the VMA Awards (which sucks period but wasn't too bad this year. I wanted more Kanye for some reason.) Anyways...Spears is back or some really washed up version of her. She can't move. Can't dance. She needs to walk away from the game and try something new. I'm sorry babe. But your teenage years are behind you. Unlike Fergie who didn't rise until her 30s. You're done. Now go raise your kids....oh wait. You might loose them. Think twice about making your kids superstars at the age. They pay a price that most can't afford.

Music you should download: "Debbie" by Architecture In Helsinki

I'm trying to draw up that inspiration which produces the greatest of art. I'm trying to surround myself with that knowledge. Expect great things. I love it when people leave comments about my work.

Oh, no news yet on my sister. But the tests are done. We're just waiting to hear the results. Thank you all for the positive feedback. It is comforting knowing that there are so many people praying for my family. I will pass on your good karma to my sister. If anyone is wondering about the ladybugs. Well she really loves ladybugs.

In France, if you are sick and a ladybug lands on you, when it flies away, it will take the sickness with it.

Hope.

A turtle was happily swimming along a river when a scorpion hailed it from the shore. "Dear friend turtle!" called the scorpion. "Please let me climb upon your back and swim me to the other side of the river!" "No," replied the turtle, "for if I do, you shall sting me, and I shall die." "Nonsense!" replied the scorpion. "If I kill you in the middle of the river, you shall sink, and I shall drown and die with you." The turtle thought this over, and saw the truth of the scorpion's statement. He let it upon his back and began swimming towards the other side of the river. Halfway across, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. "Why have you stung me?!" cried the turtle as his body began to stiffen. "Now you shall die as well!" "Because it is in my nature," replied the scorpion as the turtle sank beneath the waters.

This was for me. Last weekend's fiasco of being hospitable should be a lesson learned. Labor Day weekend was one of those holidays I really needed. Good times hanging with friends and family. Catching up on my sleep debt and spending some quality time with the best girl in the world, was so worth it. Things won't be like that for a while.

These mornings I feel that I am getting sick. I think its my girlfriend's fault. Oh the fall must be here too. The allergies. Augh. Its like the last thing I need on my plate. So much to do and so little time. Work. Work. Work.

Music free me. Man, Sublime is one great band. They are definitely a hidden treat on my I-Pod Shuffle. (When you get a chance look up the I-Pod Touch. Its new. Its basically a super i-pod/i-phone without the phone part.) Well I've finally received a new CD from a friend of mine. We trade music hoping to inspire one another's tastes. Kind of special, so now you got me listening to Ratatat's song "Wildcat". Oh it makes me want to make music.

I know this is old news but why are you hating so much on Mike Vick? We all know the Vick boys can't seem to stay out of trouble. The worse part of being rich and famous is easily being media targets. They report on every little thing you do blowing it out of proportion so that us normies look down on you as if we would never do the same. But everyone pick's a poison at some point. I just think that you can't hate on Vick hard core and not take the time to save one of the dogs. Come on 53 dogs will be put to death if they don't find a home. (Actually I think they may have already.) If you really have the heart you should take one of these killing machines and play fetch. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/2007-08-22-1015712039_x.htm

So when did High School Musical take over the world and rule Disney like no other? I haven't seen it but I still don't think its worth the hype.

Dejavu I said. My legs stretched out and my hands upon my head. I was leaning back in my plastic chair listening to the conversation. Chris Palmer had made a joke about torturing his students and sure enough everyone in the class laughed. It was funny but not so much the second time around. Here I was. Sitting in a class I have taken before. Literally. This is an update about AU. The full one is coming later, but I'm back. Basically the probation they were originally suppose to give me has finally been granted. I need all A's and good grades for the rest of the school year and in the summer of 2008 I will finish my MA in Film & Video. I will be able to put education behind me and not deal with this total bs school money making system no more. But I'll be in debt for years to come. Come on Virginia Lottery. Bring it to me.

Why do I stay up so late? Must be a bad habit from college. Like drinking.

Peace.


PS> My creative forces are pushing the limits of my will. The eggs breaking. No it is hatching. Let's see what bright Phoenix arises. Yes indeed...the clothes, the music, the photos and the videos. Let it begin.
