(no subject)
I went to NYC again this weekend to visit my boyfriend, Ernie (who I originally met at progpower) and here is a photo from friday night. He took me to Alex Grey's gallery for a costume party...I painted a third eye on his head, which turned out very well, you just can't see it too well in this photo. Alex Grey took this photo with his digital camera, so I'll give him credit for the photo...
This was something I wanted to write yesterday, but didn't...
I was walking out to my car, the sun was shining down on me - bright, a gentle breeze, slight chill...typical early november weather. I breathed in the air, which is usually slightly musty from decaying leaves...the scent of the dying summer preparing for the cold of winter. But something was off...it didn't smell like death, or dust, or cold...but of warmth and life and renewal...the air smelled of spring. I closed my eyes and it felt like april, minus the humidity...but all around me were the bright fall colours--the reds, oranges, yellows and browns. I wasn't smelling anything floral, but the air smelled clean and fresh and...NEW. Yes, autumn is a time of death, but the death is only occuring for new growth and renewal...change. Change, rebirth, new growth...then that got me thinking about college, and how I'm sick of it. I'm only taking classes this year to get my degree and so I can maintain my health insurance. I don't want to be here...I want to go off, live out my dreams and be an artist with ambition and the hope of success. But in order to get there, I must make it through this year...graduate, and in the meantime, work on my portfolio and improve my artwork and skills. So, my pitiful description of fall has turned into an entry about me...such typical thoughts for such a self-centered individual. Oh well...thoughts and rants get me nowhere if I don't actually do work and attempt to succeed.
Also, I was at walmart tonight and the lady packed my bananas with my cans of tuna! After paying, I quickly picked up the bags and removed the cans and placed them in my other bag with my yogurt and hair dye. Cans can bruise the bananas! They're sensative!!!
Okay, and now I must do research for my psychology paper that is due on friday on sleep disorders...
Oh...and boo to all of you who voted for Bush...I'm not overly political, but I'm slightly pissed and had an "argument" with a lady in at work today. She started saying about how more people should have voted and maybe PA would have had the electoral votes for Bush instead of Kerry and how everyone she knew voted for Bush. I told her I voted kerry and she got all huffy and started following me around and going off on a rant. And according to Trish, earlier in my shift, she had said "If Kerry had won, the world would blow up." WTF? Oh well...most of my coworkers didn't even vote and half of them aren't even registered. That's really sad...I got into a discussion with a customer about the importance of voting, too. And I'm done!!!
