Its been just over two weeks since I last blogged. Pardon the absence. A lot has happened and changed in those two weeks. Homecoming finally took place at school, I got more into cars, etc etc. Though I can't really remember everything, for that fact I'll give you what I got.
So lately I've just tasted the feeling of tardiness. College applications. A pain to some, a blur to others, and a headache to all. Well, maybe not all. To me, I knew I should have began this business earlier. I even planned to. I planned for college during the end of junior year. And... I'm just getting to it now, even though I also proclaimed mid-October as the starting point. Oh well you know. That's how things are presently happening and I've got to deal.
Its been my dream ever since I was young... yada, yada, yada. How many times will I tell that story? Truth be told, as much as I want! Because that's my epic story. To sum it up, I've got to be going to an art college. Its my calling on Earth and its what I do best. I'm an artist no matter what others may say or what I have to show. So, I'm applying to three art colleges. They are all within California but not in San Jose. So if I get into one, meaning my dream comes true, I've got to move -alone. Yes indeed. They are: The Art Center; Pasadena, California College of the Arts; San Francisco, and Otis; Los Angeles. They're out of San Jose because they are the only ones with established rep that provide majors in illustration. If it were my way, I wouldn't have to move. But, time shall let us all know how it goes. Fall backs? SJSU and maybe UCSD. I've heard that they have good art departments, but the reason why I want to go to an all art college is to just focus on art. I don't want to go to "college" and take other classes besides what I want to major in. If that happened, it would just seem to me that college is not college and just another extension of high school. Because when I was young, college gave the impression of the stage that prepares you to become what you want to become and do what you want to do as a profession. Maybe thats old fashioned but that's still how I feel about it. And, unfortunately, if I don't get into any art college, I just don't know what I'm going to do besides cry and be emo. Lol.
Majority knows about my fascination with sneakers. Since I've gotten my own car, I've since, you can say, forsaken it. Lately, I'm becoming less and less caring about shoes and about my mission to acquire the ones I want. I'm not avidly on shoe forums anymore and I am avidly on Subaru forums now. Its not that I'm ending my attraction, its just becoming idle. For how long? I don't know. I've even considered actually stopping a few times. But, think of the reaction people would have because of all the fuss I've made about it. Once again, time shall play a part in this and let me know what to do.
I'm good at driving manual now. I go on the freeway alone, I've been in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway, I speed, drive while on the phone, cut people off, and more. And stalls? I'm not tripping about them anymore. Yes, they occasionally happen, but only when I'm already stopped, as in parked. So, I don't count them because they don't occur when I'm in traffic, on the road, and about to drive. They happen when I'm on the driveway already and I forget that the car is still in gear and when I'm trying something new. Bottom line: I don't care if I stall or not anymore. :D Also, my license plates came in yesterday. Now its not a "new" car anymore and now I can be tracked if I'm caught speeding or doing something naughty on the road. When I didn't have my plates I wanted them so I could fit in the "used" or "owned" cars. Now that they're here and installed, I kinda want to have the substitute sign still. Odd huh? I also have a new deck in it now, so I can play my iPod. Since my car is a non turbocharged Impreza, I have the urge to tune it up. But, it will take loads of time and money and I'm not joking when I say loads. It would be cheaper and maybe easier, yet gayer, to trade it in later and get a WRX or STI. And again... we'll see what to do with time. I've had the car for just over a month now and already put over 500 miles on it.
So now I'm sitting here thinking of what subject to write about next. ...My decision is to just freely write here and leave it be, because I've got to sleep soon. I woke up late this morning and was late to class. Resulting, adding in the weather conditions, with me being "ehh..." for the day. Now I'll hurry to bed and hurry to school. I go early now and I try to be parked around 6:50 am, hopefully with breakfast. Why? Its just pleasant to be there early and alone. I chill and wait for my morning crew, which usually consists of Anna and Jereme, and we just hang out. I've got legitimate responsibilities now and got to take care of them. In a sense, its nice to be independent and accomplish the tasks set by yourself.
That's today's installment. Goodnight you. Merci.

It's so nice to hear someone pursuing their dreams. A couple of weeks ago I came across an article on DesignObserver.com, a blog for design. It was about a man and his portfolio back in the 90's (I believe, the year is sketchy in my mind) and his work was amazing. More amazing was to pursue such an "unconventional" dream and present such works .. it was inspiring and fascinating. But I guess the thing that intrigued me the most was the fact that I couldn't pursue such a dream and that I was going to lead a generic lifestyle, doing god knows what. Maybe a dirty politician? Ah, but that's so redundant.
If you want an internship this year, maybe we can talk about Frog Design. I know they're looking for interns and they've done huge projects -- Yahoo!, T-Mobile, -- the mother lode of design.
