This New Year

I've never been one to have a resolution. I'm not the follow through type. But I guess I should follow something up with some action. I hope to blog more this year, not only on this blog but on my other New blog.

A 365 Project, How exciting. Right???

But beyond that project, I want to put myself out there. Where I've never been. I've always tried to be safe and not to run screaming into the hills when something makes me feel awkward. I want to do things beside play on my computer and do class work. So here I am trying to make sure I don't fall through again. I'm going to enlist the help of family and friends to not only make sure I stay on track with my project, but also make me go out there and try new things.

So here we go, I'm going to start carrying a little book with me. Most likely a sketch book and update the blog when I feel Like I've gotten enough to write about. Which might be a week or a day. Never the same amount of time. Lets do this.

Art Block, and a PSA about Adriane

(FC07 on DEVIANTART)

I've been trying to figure out what I should do this term, since all I have to worry about is classes this time. It seems very strange to be done with graduate school stuff. It consumed most of my first-term and now I'm at a loss what to do. Gods know what I'm to do, but I have no freaking clue. Video art is going to be a problem, since this time it's just me no real professor assignments. I'm thinking about doing lyric videos, waiting for my favorite songs and making artistic videos that show the lyrics, theme and feeling of the song that I am listening to. But I doubt it is legal.

Most of the time I think of the weirdest animations that hardly seemed possible. In fact they seemed impossible, so beyond my skill as possible meeting finish one animation let alone the amount I need for this class. I've always wanted to music videos and always thought that animation was the way to go; but now something is off. I didn't have the tools that I needed last term. So the thought that I could do more advanced animation is shot.

So I'm back to square one, of thinking of Art Ideas that I can clearly try and do easily and with more fun than last term. Which pulling teeth could be more fun than last term. I'm just at a loss. I was going to do my life in a (span of time). But I tend not to have an exciting life, so well this is what it is. And Elmira College doesn't have the more riveting social/political hubs. SO I'm screwed with my art there, though I think as long as I hand in something that I at least tried on it will get a decent grade.

Time lapse is a good idea, and I could think of some interesting ideas that aren't too complicated hopefully. Or start out with a simple walking loop animation and move up.I will figure it out hopefully.

On the other hand it is the Holidays, and family is close. Not always my favorite thing.




Now I'm going to tell everyone who might read this a fact. I DISLIKE CHILDREN. My family, because I stand my nieces and my blood related children. I don't like spending more than one maybe two hours top with them. Yes this is horrible but dude!! I really don't care that much for fussy, loud children. Now with that said, people need to stop assuming that because said children will be in my home that I will wake up at 6am when they get here and take care of them. I didn't volunteer to be their day care when their day care isn't available. My mother did, so look this is me washing my hands of it.

I DISLIKE CHILDREN!!! So there is a reason I will close my door and ignore the knocking at my door. I'm a college student, not Mary Poppins.
