Disappointed.


I wish I could be the person you want me to be. Silence my words, and focus my thoughts on you.


Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Art Concentration

So, in my art class we are to come up with an art concentration which means that I have to do twelve pieces on one subject. I have one more art project to do before I start my concentration. However, the problem is that I have not come up with an idea for that yet. ugh.

I was hoping for some ideas!!
If you have any please send them my way.

I really like to draw people, so if you can work any ideas around that I'm down.

THANKS A LOT!!!

I just want to feel attractive today.

I do not believe in Nancy Drew.
Nancy Drew is the biggest lie I have ever heard of.

1. There is no possible way that she could solve all of these cases.
Do you even know how many crimes are unsolved in a year? However, in some mystical
way this woman has solved every crime that has been placed in front of her.
If she's that amazing maybe we could get her cloned and put a Nancy Drew on every
police force!
2. Also, she would have been murdered already. Nancy Drew always decides to go into the
abandoned house (with creepers around every turn) by herself. And somehow she
manages to escape the clutches of all these villains every time.
3. How is it that Nancy Drew can solve crimes that no trained detectives can solve? She
solves these crimes as a hobby. I mean its understandable if she ate slept and
solving crime, but she just gets home from school and decides I'm going to figure
out why that man was murdered.

So Indecisive...YUCK

So this week I decided to quit taking violin lessons (not quit playing just take a break from lessons), because I was flipping from all the crud I had to do. Then I realized that is the dumbest thing I could have done. You can always make up excuses for not doing something, which is what I was doing. I basically convinced myself I was too busy to do this. Then I started to question if I was really that busy, so I began examining my time and realized I was being a genuine creeper. I have plenty of free time. Damn.

And why in the hell should I give up something I really love. Sometimes I guess I need a huge punch in the face. Please no volunteers.

Today I decided that I'm going to go down to the 16th Street Mall to sing and play the violin for money...hahahah. Seriously though, someone should come with me.

China.

I believe this was the fastest I have ever drawn a picture. Completed in 14 hours. That's what happens when you wait the very last day to do an art project.
Anywho, this is actually a photograph I took when I was in China, and I decided to use it as an art architecture project.

Breathing.

This is my second art project of the year. A direct trace of a homeless man smoking.
