So I haven't posted in a few weeks and I feel like I should say something again. Honestly though I am not to sure on what I should say. I guess that I do like the way my life is headed right now. The last few weeks have been a bit rough but nothing I haven't faced before. Just things that happen to every day people in every day life that annoys the shit out of us. I have finally moved in with my friend Amanda and so far everything has been great which is thankfully good. Classes have also started and so far they seem fairly well which I couldn't be happier about. Life is finally going the way it should be.

Also today I met up with my good friend Chelsea to have a chat over some coffee (me hot coco) and discuss our current events and art like we always do. While we were at Cartel we met up with one of our old art teacher, Jacob Meders. As some of you may know I have been feeling rather down about my art work and if it was such a good idea to waste my last two years on art. ASU was telling me that my art wasn't really art and I wasn't good enough yet left and right people were telling me how they loved my work and found some of it inspirational. Well after I told Meders this he then proceeded to tell me that I need to keep my chin up and just do what I love. Just because what I may do isn't really in the "in crowed" per-say right now it will at some point and time and as long as I keep producing people will keep on seeing. That art is pretty much what comes from within not what others want us to make. It made me feel better about what I create and what I believe art is. He also pretty much said the art teachers on the board for photo were full of shit in their logic. So in other words I am getting inspired again!!!

On top of that my friend James has recently opened up a gallery for First Friday in Phoenix, Arizona and will be showing some local art work! On top of that he asked Chelsea and I to show some of our work so I have a lot of art to make!!! I have until the end of February at the earliest to create something gallery worthy. Wish me luck!

So sadly that is pretty much it. No words of wisdom, no deep profound thoughts racing through my head, and no stories to tell. Hope all is will in what ever world you are living in. =D
