43 Things (Revisted)
I wrote this entry about six years ago. Let's see if I've made a dent in the list.
43 things
1. Let love find me - Nope.
2. become a great artist - Nope. I still need to find some sort of synergy between motivation and message. skill wise I'm getting better.
3. become a great designer - Nope, but I'm getting there.
4. save the world - Not yet.
5. destroy the world -
6. become a ninja cyborg - got the cyborg part down (titanium implant in my jaw. not as cool as it sounds), but i still need to learn some martial arts. karate doesn't count.
7. start having fun - i was having a lot of fun at davis, especially at the end of my junior year. after that everything has turned into utter shit.
8. lose weight - did it. this was probably the easiest thing on the list.
9. wheatpaste my pain - I don't even know what this means.
10.Visit Japan - Not happening anytime soon.
11.make a painting for each of my friends. - been thinking about this one a lot for the last year. when i get my "greatest idea ever" i'll start working on them.
12.buy a pair of air jordans - Nope. I'm waiting for the AJ 1's to come out.
13.make more friends - yes and no. made more friends, but i lost some important ones. changes in my lifestyle and the enforcing of certain rules is the major factor here.
14.do an installation - did it.
15.be shown in an exhibit - doing it again.
16.have all of my friends come to one of my exihibits - somewhat. hopefully mayb comes so this can be a reality.
17.be nicer - i tried to really really nice to people last year. i was miserable. it hard to care about people who really don't care about you.
18.have a solo exhibit - not yet. I'd have to be crazy prolific to be able to pull this off. I haven't made enough things to break my shitty habits of cutting corners and not wanting to push my techniques.
19.open up an art gallery - not yet. but this one is going to happen. i know it. ive already spoken to a friend about this proposition.
20.start doing graffiti again - yes and no. im incorporating certain elements of it back into my designs.
