<br />
- became world's biggest slacker (not new)<br />
- gang war (almost- not really)<br />
- crazy lohan parties<br />
- went to San Diego<br />
- went to New York<br />
- Squeegee (my rat) got her ovaries removed<br />
- got arrested<br />
- went to trial<br />
- went to jail<br />
- read lots of books<br />
- school started<br />
- now under house arrest<br />
- not drinking or doing drugs<br />
- still reading lots of books and going to school<br />
<br />
I love everybody.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
<br />
nonsense nonsense<br />
<br />
that's about all there is to it, i guess. not much else.<br />
<br />
anybody have any hot ideas for something i should make out of scrap metal for my sculpture class?<br />
<br />
part of the project is that we must create an interesting dialogue between the materials and the subject matter.<br />
<br />
I was thinking about making a metal drug dealer, holding a fishhook in a plastic baggie up with one hand, with the other hand open and outstretched- syringes will be involved- and... other cool stuff. maybe lots of fishhooks...<br />
<br />
but if you have something better, i'm open to suggestions.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Everything has been a massive disaster since the first, and today- and i know this is petty in the grand scheme of things, but it's rather important to me- the server that hosts my blog had some drive failure, and everything may or may not be lost. I dunno, gotta keep things in perspective, etc.<br />

It's winter break so all the creative energy I had to bottle up in an effort to focus (unsuccessfuly) on my school work is finally bursting out of me, cascading over paper and floor. I miss my favorite teachers, but that's life. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Universal Truths <br />
-Inarguable ones, which give meaning to existence (in a way) yet take nothing away from the mystery.-<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eye.gif" alt="Omniscient" title="Omniscient" /> a pound of flax<br /><br />1) "Some things can only be seen when they are shown to you."<br />
- And even then they may still be obscured until you show them to someone else.<br />
2) "We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full." - Marcel Proust<br />
3) No pain or pleasure or person or parakeet is permanent- time disolves everything. (This can be either the most depressing or most comforting fact.)<br />
4) Life is both the least and most one can have. (This can also go either way.)<br />
5) Asking questions about the meaning of life is merely a way to narrate it. Living it will answer all the questions when you strike a balance between experiencing and archiving.<br />
6) "Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade." - Marcel Proust<br />
7) Striking a balance between the following things also seems to help...<br />
<br />
empathy vs. analysis<br />
expression vs. representation<br />
stoicism vs. hysteria<br />
sexual vs. intellectual <br />
 ~  sexual + intellectual = emotional (I just thought of that, so I don't know if it's true.)<br />
love vs. dependence vs. obsession<br />
integrity vs. stubborness<br />
fantasy vs. reality<br />
<br />
consideration of all these things should reveal reality in terms of both the internal and external world. <br />
<br />
8) Only once you know how something works can you most effectively fix it. (Or come to an accurate decision as to whether it needs repairing at all.)<br />
9) Just because a person isn't in love with you doesn't mean they don't love you. That should be enough, you selfish bastard!<br />
10) Keeping your eyes on the road during merging is a good way to prevent accidents.<br />
11) "Courtesy is the glue which binds us all together." - Doug Norman<br />
12) "It's better to go too slow than too fast." - Tamie Beldue<br />
13) Panic doesn't help anything.<br />
14) All we have is now.<br />
15) and now<br />
16) and now<br />
17) The most important thing I have found, in terms of the nature of life, is that I am more and more content as I discover and eradicate the inauthentic aspects of myself, (get the crap off my glasses, in other words) the concepts which I held/hold as truths only because I hadn't taken the time to evaluate their validity. <br />
Some things that I believed and then discovered to be bullshit...<br />
kateMYTH 1) The opinions of other people are important. (If you think an opinion is important enough to effect you behaivor, why is it one that you, yourself, do not hold?)<br />
kateMYTH 2) If you're not happy, something is wrong with you.<br />
kateMYTH 3) If you're alone, you must be lonely.<br />
kateMYTH 4) The final image is more important than the act of making it. (This is only true for the audience.)<br />
<br />
and the list goes on and on. So yeah, this is what I've come up with. I'm pretty sure that some of it is right.<br /><br />Computer died, heart broke, car crashed, and I'm feeling good. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just skip to the third-to-last  paragraph if you want to manage time  wisely.<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/j/juggle.gif" alt="Juggling Many Tasks" title="Juggling Many Tasks" /> overwhelmed<br /><strong>Reading</strong>: Six American Poets (with works by Wallace Stevens)<br /><br />I went to Cincinnati today to see Tamie  Beldue's MFA (master of fine arts -  it's a degree - like where they add  letters to things on your business card  and give you certificates) thesis  exhibit. It was an experience that I  will not degrade with verbal  explanations, but the time it took to  drive there and back was about 1000%  greater than the time I spent actually  looking at her artwork. I fucking went  to Kentucky on accident, people.  Kentucky. Like 45 minutes into it. By  myself. Kentucky. Still totally worth  it.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, the CD player in my car, which  was on its last leg anyway but still  somewhat valuable, finally died  completely. Well, I guess it was more  of a murder, but who's counting? So  now, since I do my homework on the plot  of floor between the couch and the  wall, an area too isolated from the  rest of the living room to be  accessible to the play station  controller, and also because I no  longer have the amount of concern  required to deal with changing or  choosing cd's or DVD's, and due to the  fact that 1) all my CD's were stolen  (see September entries) B) my hard  drive ate itself (see February entries)  and III) my Ipod is all asunder (see  kitchen counter) ... BECAUSE OF ALLLLL  THESE REASONS coupled with the recent  car stereo malfunction, I am now in a  perpetual cloud of silence. Well,  ambient white noise, anyway. I'm not  complaining, there are many things I  could do to change this, but I guess  I'd rather not.<br />
<br />
My point in telling you all of this is  I have figured out everything. I was  driving to the book store to pick up a  collection of Wallace Stevens' poetry  (Tamie Beldue quoted him, I looked into  his work, he rocks) and I was thinking  about some of the stuff he said and  then I was thinking about this one  Bright Eyes lyric:<br />
<br />
    see, sorrow gets too heavy and joy  it tends to hold you with the fear that  it eventually departs <br />
<br />
<br />
I thought, 'how true, even when one is  happy, it's a fleeting kind of  grip-wet-soap kind of feeling, like  surprise. It happens so fast, or seems  like it happens so fast, that you can't  really stand there and relish in it-  the way you can with  grief/unhappiness/whatever.' However,  it then occurred to me that the happy  times are just as frequent as the rest.  Even in the deepest of depressions,  there are a few moments of at least  amusement- no one could ever have the  Zen-like mastery (besides Zen masters,  I guess, if you believe in that) of  thought to be able to consolidate the  entirety of their mind into one  long-lasting melancholy solid.<br />
<br />
And if the happiness and sadness are  roughly equal, then why do we seem to  hang on to the latter? Why do we,  whoever "we" is, emo artsy fartsy  poetry fags I guess, see the negative  as our kind of mental resting state? If  they're equal, a choice between them  must be made on some level of  consciousness as to which one is the  form and which the ground. No mood  lasts forever, so what the fuck, right?  Then I realized that we already know  who's going to win- which one is going  to have the last laugh in terms of  dominating our thoughts at the very  end. I think its pretty obvious that  we're not going to be too stoked when  we're about to die. Seconds away from  death, I feel the brain won't have a  hell of a lot going on besides "SHIT!  NO!" And that's not too pleasant a  picture, not to mention the whole  hospital, tubes, needles, and so forth  or whatever your death fantasy consists  of. Even if it's a surprise, there's  still going to be that one miniscule  moment of total consciousness just  before oblivion... or just before the  coma that precedes oblivion if that's  what's in store for you/me/us/all.<br />
<br />
So, since we know who among the  possible mind sets will get the final  upper hand, any time that happiness  gets to play first fiddle is like a  little participation trophy. Like a  kind of runner-up prize. A party favor  from the longest damn party you've been  to. Or crashed. Or hosted. Or whatever.  And on the reverse side, all the  depressed moments, to us, may just be  the precursor to the ultimate depressed  moment. If you're sad, then it's  absolutely reasonable to believe that  you're going to be that way forever.  Forever to you, after all, is over as  soon as that drunk driver hops the  curb. And at that moment your brooding  fear about how you might not be the  captain of the chess team this year  will just transition into a deeper fear  and horror about how you shouldn't be  able to see your own liver. Thus,  unhappines... ]]></description>

Fuck all this  inability to communicate, fuck all this  societal apathy, all this sensory  overload, all this disposable living,  all this struggle to get it right. Fuck  aaaaaaaalllllllllll of that- <br />
<br />
because today was for letting  everything fit perfectly into its place  - and for making time stand still in  the face of unfathomable, beautiful  truth. <br />
<br />
today was for the realization that if  you value that which is truly worthy of  being valued- then every once in a  while, when you're not looking, when  you're nearing surrender- you will be  showered in scores of those tiny  sublime moments. The ones which serve  to keep you warm however cold the days  to come might be.<br />
<br />
And though today was for those things,  and today is slowly passing, like all  my other todays, to where the  yesterdays reside, and a new today is  about to begin- the treasure of those  million shining moments is safely  locked forever in my memory<br /><br /> ]]></description>

So, it's  not something we're aiming for... it  just shows up."<br />

technique: the way in which the  fundamentals are handled<br />

Charles Hall was a teacher at the art  school I go to, in particular he was  the mentor of my personal hero aka the  object of my unsurpassed worship and  obediance aka Tamie Beldue. He died in  2002 and he is secretly controling my  life.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The following was an e-mail to Tamie  Beldue, the greatest teacher of all  time. I emailed her prior with a quote  by a painter, Thomas Eakins, who she  suggested I look up.  His quote was "I  do not believe that great painting or  sculpture or surgery will ever be done  by women..." Beldue the Belgian emailed  me back, saying that she was reminded  why she stopped reading about artists  and just enjoyed their work instead.  This is the tirade that ensued...<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dead.gif" alt="Dead" title="Dead" /> decomposing<br /><strong>Reading</strong>: Masters of Dutch Painting<br /><br />Ms. Beldue<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh bother, I didn't intend to destroy  your fantasy. I'm sorry.  But you don't<br />
feel that having an insight into the  artist's mind provides you with a<br />
deeper connection to their art? The  idea that "the piece should stand<br />
alone" is alright... <br />
<br />
However! Take Ter Borch for example,  after waves and waves of<br />
misinterpretations by viewers, his  original artistic intentions have been <br />
perverted and lost forever. Like that  whole mess with his painting,<br />
"Gallant Conversation" (aka Paternal  Admonition) being retitled after he<br />
died?  Ter Borch's corpse didn't care,  I'm sure. But when I consider the<br />
(remote) possibility that a creation of  mine may have the significance<br />
enough to survive long after my death,  I cringe at the thought of it<br />
being assigned all types of random  messages and meanings. I mean, is all<br />
of art just aesthetic acrobatics - a  visual mad-lib for the audience to<br />
fill in as haphazardly as they please?  Or is it "the transmission of one<br />
soul's inner most essence to another...  the only real way of sharing who<br />
we really are with the rest of the  world"?<br />
<br />
Ok, that might have been overly  dramatic, but dang. The life shapes the<br />
artist, the artist shapes the art -  like bones and muscles in the figure. <br />
PLUS! Thomas Eakins' work is still  sweet. We can think so without feeling <br />
dirty, because his arrogance and sexism  were karmicly rewarded with a<br />
lack of artistic recognition during his  lifetime.  <br />
<br />
Marvel at this bizarre coincidence: I  hadn't yet looked into Eakins when<br />
I wrote it, but the subject for this  email, "destitutis ventis remos<br />
adhibe" is Latin for "when the winds  fail, take to the oars" - a fitting<br />
maxim for Eakins' lifelong persistence  and dogged work ethic, yes, but<br />
also suggestive of Eakins' paintings of  various boats/boaters - beginning <br />
with sailboats, which were later  replaced by rowboats. You have to admit<br />
that's oddly cool. And I wouldn't have  noticed if I hadn't researched the <br />
life and times of Tommy E. Imagine the  wonders you may miss when you're<br />
not (as Doug Norman would say)  polluting yourself with information.  <br />
<br />
discouraged,<br />
Kate<br />
<br />
and that "transmission of one soul's  inner most essence to another" quote <br />
was said by Dilbert - in the animated  cartoon not the newspaper comic.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Back to the drawing board  for me, i suppose. You know, even art  that isn't created on a computer,  doesn't involve any form of anime,  and/or lacks photographic elements -  may still be art.

<br />
Other than that, I am totaly stoked for  school to start. Yet, somewhat nervous  that I'll somehow fuck everything up  and die a painful and dishonorable  death at the foot of a mountain.<br />

Also, I have been composing 2 to 5  second melodious songs, and randomly  belting them out at Lena while she  tries to draw.<br />

<br />
"no one's asking to go dancing its not  like that anymore<br />
its romantic if they mean it when they  shut your fingers in the door<br />
its a gory sort of story thats been  told a hundred times before<br />
it gets tricky dont be picky if the  slipper fits you wear it whore"<br />
- 'glass slipper'<br />
<br />
"shes the kind of girl who gets her  slings and arrows from the artschool  dumpster<br />
the kind who tells you shes bipolar  just to make you trust her<br />
shes the kind of girl who leaves out  condoms on the bedroom dresser<br />
just to make you jealous of the men she  fucked befor you met her<br />
to all the ones who thought they knew  me best a test to prove your prowess<br />
who was mine in '99 i want last names  and current status"<br />
- 'dirty business'<br />
<br />
"and i loved you in bright orange<br />
and in violet and in green<br />
and i loved you in such colors<br />
as your eyes have never ever seen<br />
and i loved the way you acted<br />
but your one trick pony's dead<br />
and i loved you unprotected<br />
but you only love in<br />
red"<br />
- 'color blind'<br />
<br />
" and i still wait for the cops to come  where the station since bunred down<br />
still convinced that theyll pick me up  for all the sins i committed in the  back of the banged-up pickup truck<br />
<br />
ive got autographs, backstage passes  and leather jacket back patches up  the...<br />
ask me anything ive got evidence<br />
single serving saccharine packets  dripping black with lipstick kisses"<br />
- 'bank of boston beauty queen'<br />
<br />
"and you can tell<br />
by the red in my eyes<br />
and the bruises on my thighs<br />
and the knots in my hair<br />
and the bathtub full of flies<br />
that i'm not right now at all<br />
there i go again<br />
pretending that i'll fall<br />
don't call the doctors<br />
cause they've seen it all before<br />
they'll say just<br />
let<br />
her<br />
crash<br />
and<br />
burn<br />
she'll learn<br />
the attention just encourages her"<br />
- 'Girl Anachronism'<br /><br /> ]]></description>

why American men think that success is  everything<br />
when they know that eighty percent of  them are not<br />
going to succeed more than to just keep  going and why<br />
if they are not why do they not keep on  being<br />
interested in the things that  interested them when<br />
they were college men and why American  men different<br />
from English men do not get more  interesting as they<br />
get older."<br />
