Day 86, 85, & 84: Goal of the night...

The past three days have been a whirlwind of events. More like, Friday was a crazy night. Firstly, we all dressed for Girl Talk in Providence. My inspiration was a modern tribe. This is what it turned out to look like.

MY STUDDED FUR COAT! i wish i had bought more studs but those are 180 studs in the shoulder which took awhile to do.
We get to the venue and learn that we are no where near the stage/ground floor. But since my goal was to get onto stage we had to get into the ground floor. Which we did with a little help from a $20 bill. After we got into the ground floor. Someone bought us a drink too! Next thing we know, we're onstage rocking out with Greg Gillis! IT WAS CRAZYYYYY!!!! Hopefully I can get some video footage of the night...
Now, back to the real world until spring break...

Day 87: fur and studs.

in preparation for fridays Girl Talk concert, ive been studding my fur coat which i wore to steve aoki back in chicago. which was epic but i had to check it in at the coat check. i know LAME. but hopefully i dont have to check it at girl talk. if i do...ill be sad.my inspiration for tomorrow's getup is from VMAN's editorial "tokyo tribe". i liked the concept of the modern tribe. so i borrowed the ideas for the makeup which is epic and hopefully i can redo. and hair im shaving the sides off to the brink of non existence...makes me a bit nervous because the majority of the time its got some stubble. and i got my fur coat with studs. ahahahhahaha. i hoping itll be an epic night. aka the party of all partys! i didnt forget to do my work. i still have so much to do prior to leaving tomorrow. so, theres no having fun tonight...

BTW. our goal for the concert is to get onstage. maybe youll see us or at least me on some blog... crossing my fingahs!

Day 88: inspirationally drained...

one of my worst fears, not that i have many, is that i lose my inspiration. i worry that ill come to a point where i cant produce anything new, original, and creative. or i come to the point where i have no new ideas and end up copying someone else's idea. what happens then? this all came about when i went to the studio yesterday. im in a "drawing" class that isnt really about drawing but more about image transferring. so i dont have to necessarily draw but i do have to come up with images and alter them so theyre mine. anyways, i dont want to do the same idea over again...i ended up just staring at the photo rather than doing anything. there wasnt the "spark". maybe its just a phase and because i havent been in the studio enough to come up with new ideas. but either way it freaked me out. im still image collecting but i dont know what im doing. maybe thats whats scaring me more. the fact that i dont know what im doing. or maybe that if i just go with not knowing ill lost control. and ill end up entering the dark abyss...
i dont know...i dont know...i dont know...

Day 90 & 89: ...

nyc came to an end; as fast as it started. as much as i am in denial about becoming a second semester senior with so much shit to do, i need to own up to reality. first, i f***ing slipped on ice on my way from the gym. i had maybe 20 more steps before i was in the safe confines of the dorm; but nope fate had it so i would slip on ice and skin my knee. which i am used to but still it just adds to the scars... not as bad as it feels/looks currently ...maybe im being a little crybaby...
either way, i sigh too much for someone my age. i dont want to sound like a broken record but maybe i want too much. something thats not meant to be...

Day 91: Last day in nyc

all good things come to an end. nyc was a blast. successful in many ways. i bought new clothes, studs for my fur coat, a japanese mens style magazine, and (never thought id say this...) jewelry. i finally made it down to the "liquor store" too! not as cool as i thought it would be. but thats probably because none of the workers gave me the light of day. other than the fact that i owned pretty much everything there. aka its time for me to find a new favorite store. which happened to transition towards GANT but...its way too expensive for a college student. so for the mean time ill stick with what i got...

the J.Crew liquor store. with some weird hipsters in front of it...

night time view of the place. it was like looking at stars on the floor rather than the sky.

my friend from chicago.


the sunset was crazy! it looked like the horizon was on fire...

last but not least, my current state of mind. CHAOS...i am in need of sleep but i have a paper due. but i dont want to write it so im procrastinating...mleh.
when i wrote, "my friend from chicago" my other friend wrote me a poem during lunch. it is entitled "lulz."
"Sometimes Roger wears a snood
occasionally he is mad rude
He eats oranges & watermelon galore
Im noticing he is a tumblr whore.
Right now he is learning how to dance
w/ ZooZoo as a teacher, he stands a chance.
Loves M.I.A. & Mumford & Sons.
Due to Rugby, hes got guns.
hes a hybrid hipster/preppy dresser
@ conn its his last semester.
Hes pretty cool because hes from chicagz.
He is too emotional to own a dog."

cheers.

Day 93 & 92: NYC so far...

so the past two days has been a blast. the past two time i was in nyc i hadnt experienced anything worth ooh-ing or ahh-ing over. however this trip has let me appreciate nyc somewhat. maybe its because im with my friends that i love or maybe its because its been a successful trip in shopping (hahahaha...) but it has been a fun trip for the couple of days. although im mentally freaking out about all the work that i have to do tomorrow. Since tomorrow is my last day here in the city i have to figure what i want to do and what i need/want...also, we bought our tickets to spring break! huzza!!! the location is secret until spring break comes around. but no worries its not a typical spring break location. no cancun or puerto rico.
from nyc with love,

Day 94: The re-grand beginning to an end

everything went through! Since yesterday, i successfully got into philosophy 101. which oddly happened when the professor proposed an idea and i counter-argued it with another theory/idea. she really liked my comment and then said, "who are you again?" which made the already odd scene, of a student not in her class answering the question, an odder scene. in conclusion i managed to get everything into order and now i am a second semester senior taking 28 credits. all of this so i can graduate with what i want. at this point, i am in it to win it. no questions asked; no doubts; no regrets. hopefully, through the semester i won't forget why i am doing all of this.
although ive been up since the wee hours of the morning, the day is long from over. this semester is truly a test of commitment and scheduling. failure is not an option, for real.
