Just Stay Where You Are

Today has been a bit rough, but what can you do? I decided though, that problems are only what I make them. I have trouble with that, one little thing comes along that rubs me the wrong way, and suddenly it is the end of the world. I need to let things go, most of the time they are not important, or atleast the shouldn't be. Dwelling on problems only makes them worse, and why spend time on something that just bothers you? That is what I figure, anyways.

On a "problem" note, I have no friends! Ha. Not in Lacombe, atleast. Which, to say the least, is a bit sad. I am having trouble getting out of the mind-frame of "I'm getting out of here soon, why bother making new friends?", because if I stay this way, it's going to be a rough road to Calgary, or wherever I end up. I might not make it into ACAD, and where will I be then? Friendless, and in Lacombe. Not exactly the best place to be.

I am so tired of being lonely, friendless, and frustrated. This isn't one of those "problems" I can just let go of, I don't think. Atleast it doesn't seem to be. I can't go about with the attitude of "I don't care", I don't want to become that person.

Tell me, what's so wrong now?

Devo andare. Devo viaggiare.

I must, I must, I must.

I want to travel so bad, it is driving me a bit crazy. I want to drive, and drive, and drive. And take hundreds, thousands, of pictures. I just want to go somewhere, and soon.

Future: Ireland, Venice, France, Scotland, London, Montreal, Nova Scotia, Vancouver, New York, Seattle, China, Kenya, Europe Europe Europe.

Calgary & Edmonton even, anywhere. Ach gluten tog.

Your Majesty...he's jumping, he's jumping.

Jill and I rented Half Nelson the other day (still have it so far). It was flipping fantastic. It is not often that I watch a movie twice within a day or two, but I have definitely watched it 2 and a half times so far. New favourite, for sure.

This year I have a new project, to take a picture everyday, and collect them in a series of 4 "notebooks" (one for each season). I am starting in December, on the first day of Winter, and going till the last day of Fall, 2008. Before that, I need to find a notebook that would work well...it needs to be wire bound, or else the seam will bust (as my art journal is just starting to do, below, it doesn't close). My blog entries are so boring.

Are we all lost like you?

Strange happenings in Lacombe today...and old fellow drove his car into the side of a drugstore close to my house, while I was sitting in the parking lot. It was interesting. The drugstore (Pharmsave, where I used to work) workers called the cops, it was crazy. 3-4 police officers showed up, all but one of them left when they found the old man in the grocery store across from Pharmasave. Poor fellow. But it was sort of funny, for me atleast. I am a jerk.

Otar Shoe co.

I think that I should paint and sell shoes in order to save up for school next year. But uh, no. Painting shoes would probably be one of the sweetest job ever...aside from, you know, taking pictures for a living.

I forgot my username and password for my last blogspot blog (my art journal), so I decided to just start another one, in preparation for my upcoming photography project (I will post more about that when it comes)...in which I will have to post pretty much everyday. It will be a good time.

So, there are just some shoes I painted for camp people, during the end of the summer. The white ones were for Brandon, and the ones below for Jeff L. I think I see more shoe painting in my future...it was fun. I painted a pair of grey knock-off high tops for myself, but they are sort of retarded. I might post what they look like, if I take a picture of them before they get too dirty from me wearing them (which...is not that often).















Yep, I will be posting again soon, probably, I have to get used to posting everyday for my project starting the first day of Winter.

Cheers!
