Melting

I love it.
The smell of rotten damp foliage and sun dried concrete send my nose into a frenzy of delight.

I get in ultra-good mood.
I think it's instinctual, pre programmed into my genetic HTML, akin to the way a tree senses the coming cold and sheds it's leaves to slumber for another winter. Every species has something like that that they can't help but obey. Migration, hibernation, swimming up stream; becoming happy when things melt.

It just makes me happy.

A pleasant bonus is that this is the third time is happened here. Two weeks ago everything melted before the saska-crew arrived. I rememberit like yesterday...yesterday..yesterday.....

It was a gorgeous plus 10 and snow seemed to be retreating right before your eyes. Rooftops were dripping so profusely it reminded one of a sweating athlete wiping their forehead. Water was rushing down the sloping hills of the Calgary road system. Rushing and rushing until finding a puddle to sit in until running, once more, the Drainage Marathon. All around you, as you walk down the Kensington area, you see these races being run by the freshly melted H2O until they inevitably take the plunge down a drain. As close to the Victoria Falls as this water will ever get. The splashing at the bottom of the dark drain produces a soothing white-noise sound that adds to the harmony of everything else around you; the perfect soundtrack. And as you walk around taking in the water and the birds and the warm sun fighting diligently through the cool temperature to reach and warm your back, the smell of the soaking foliage and drying concrete fills your nostrils.

Perfect.

And now its happening again which is just christmas twice in one month for me.

Other than that...

-i have to do an all nighter tonight
-i bought 2L of smart water.. best water ever

-i'm featured in an art show tonight (WOOOOO)

-philosophy still hasn't proven itself worthy of my attention.

Thoughts of the Last 30 Minutes.

For my philosophy class I'm to write a paper about one of the works we have read thus far in the year. One of said works is The Allegory of the Cave by Plato. It's essentially a ancient version of The Matrix and so that's what my paper shall be about...
Comparing and contrasting the views and underlying themes of Plato's work and The Matrix.
It should be interesting to say the least.

There is also an art exhibition going on next weekend which I am going to be featured in. This is my first gallery so I'm rather excited.. But at the same time I'm kinda nervous. It's not going to be a grand opening in the modern art museum or any garbage like that so it's not like there were be an alarming amount of people there, but even still. I hope I'm well received.

Speaking of art, I finished a painting for Brittney which is made up of posters for all of the Harry Potter movies plus a bonus because I needed to fill nine spaces.
I am genuinely excited for this summer for the sole reason of being able to create whatever I wish. Having complete creative control over a painting or something alike will be absolute bliss. That being said I think I'm going to keep everything that I've learned in the back of my mind and apply it to everything I do. Such as colour theory and perspective. Things just look better when everything is harmonious. Aesthetics baby.

The only music I have listened to in the last 3 days is classical. Fucking excellent. It truly is perfect music, it's like the wise grandfather of all music we here today. But if I were that grandfather I would be shaking my head as I beat the shit out of my sons and daughters asking myself where I went wrong. Oh well.

I'll leave you with this. It makes me happy.

'Thats clever, it's an anagram of art'

and I had to pretend I had known all along."

Well..... Bummer

I guess my 3 month streak of good health had to come to an end at some point right?

My throat hurts so motherfucking bad I could cry... I have in my possession neocitron tea mix, sore throat drops, benylin, and throat numbing shit... worst fucking day ever.

It makes shit as easy as breathing annoying, resulting on a cap on your whole day.

FEEL ME?

I'm going to go ahead and blame the 2 carloads of saskatwats who came up last weekend... i think about 43 out of 45 of them were sick with something.

Small price to pay though I guess.

To top it all off it's 3 o'clock and i have yet to shower, for I am filth incarnate... Repent. Repent.

HEY LOOK WHAT I MADE!

Fisherman At Night


Buddhist Priest Illin With 3 Human Sufferings

Luther?

This weekend was a success.

It was so precisely what I needed I could have cried.

I was also pleasantly surprised that Brittney came out :D.

For the full story in photos just hurp your durp.

Now it's back to the grind and I have some srs assignments to, fucking god damn you ACAD why not just kill me and get it over with??

I think today I'll take a bunch of picture of shit I've done and post them here, so if your curious about what kind of shit I've done check back later.

I'm having trouble stringing together sentences right meow so I'll do this later

This Is The Talk Of The NHL Right Now

There is tragedy everywhere on earth it seems.

Japan is a million feet under water, flaming water in some cases based on the videos I've seen.

All those middle eastern problems are still in full swing, and the world of pro-sports (more significantly the NHL) is in debate over this:

Zdeno (sp?) Chara is 6'9 and 255 lbs. And he did that...

I don't even know what to say.

When you're a professional hockey player you have to always know where you are on the ice and he. did. that.

The best part is he didn't even get a suspension. Like FUCK.

So now the bi-polar super city known as Montreal is in an absolute uproar and there is most likely going to be a riot tonight. So keep watching.

They Call It.......................................Hey-Bro

I swear to god Tumblr is more immersive than facebook.

One does not simply walk into Tumblr and expect to just do things every now and then. You either start an account and fucking go hard every god damn day, or you gtfo.

I chose option B.

That place is immaculate for design though. I have found the coolest pictures on earth thanks to that website.

I have about 400 pictures all from tumblr... these are just the first ones in my folder.

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you have facebook and a blog and twitter and tumblr and you can manage them all, keeping it fresh, you should receive a paycheque from the internet. For the sake of trying to keep this stupid waste of digital space interesting.. I'm snipping tumblr forever.

In other news... how about that Marxism?

What I Do Instead Of My Essay

Decided I really really really really respect Die Antwoord.

And the war inside my psyche is over and I've come to the conclusion that I find Yolande attractive.

Iknowrite?

S.O.S. HIGH ENERGY NEVER SEEN ZEF SO FRESH

Played through 5 times so far... I know. I know.

I cannot fucking wait for this weekend :)

HEY FUCK

Last post, the day before my birthday?

I've been slacking.

All my life in Saskatchewan I hear about the legendary Calgary spring time that starts in March and its like plus 3523462 al month long and rainbows shoot out of the mouth of laughing children producing baby butterflies and happiness. These are all lies. Its been cold as fuck here as I'm sure it is back home... bummer.

I had an incredibly shitty week last week with two big assignments due and two midterms. That was terrible but it results in me having an excellent weekend with little to no worries.

Friday night I taught a bunch of people how to do a Shnooter (cracking a fresh beer and snorting the foam) and I was God for an entire night. No one had ever heard of it before except for one girl who is also from Sask. Go figure.

Saturday I went out with Cole and his girlfriend and drank a bunch of Bulldogs and after a 70 dollar bill that was that.

Now I'm just hangin out at home waiting for art history to start.. WEEEEEEE

Fuck off till later
