I've been toying with the idea of going to college for art since high school, 3 years ago! Kept finding excuses not to apply, owning a car, getting paid, all that good shit. When the video store was around at least work was fun. I had a space where I could hang out, watch movies, bull shit with townies all day, and had an awesome boss. I could do whatever I wanted. Draw, paint, smoke, hang outside. As long as I did my shit and was nice to customers (which is cake 'cause most of 'em were awesome) anything went. No shirt and tie and selling products to people who don't need them and giving a false sense of security. What do banks do anyway. Monitor everything you do because everything requires money and credit with exception to living in a cave. It's time for me to focus on something, Something I enjoy. Fuck making a good living. Fuck you can make a living selling crack, you should be able to make a living selling art.
So anyways, definitely glad I took my time. It was necessary. But now a change in perspective and pursuits are necessary. Thanks to some needed encouragement from Jess and others I'm going through with this. My transcripts and letters of recommendation are in the mail. My application for admittance for Framingham State is done and going in the mail tomorrow. My portfolio is pretty much completed, just need to rework some old stuff from high school a bit, darken bits up and throw in some highlights and whatnots). Feeling good about this. Hope this shit works.
