i'm working on blowing out the cobwebs... i'm working on getting crap done... crazy die-hard style.

currenly, i'm working on finishing a comission for some comic strips for a friend of mine... so expect to see somma that here in a bit.

also, i'm going thru all my old sketches that i deem redeemable and turning them into finished works. we'll see where that goes.

and work... yes i will try to get more hours at work... i need to pull my own weight in the financial realm... outta gratitude if nothing else.

completely. no question about it.

but i didn't die... and i don't want to do it again.

see that? that's optimism. and you can't really say that i'm being irresponsible now b/c i already worried and spazzed about it for a month an a half... a month and a half after i had already blown it. and somehow i got this hairbrained idea that i could still make up 1 month of homwork/studying in a week or 2.

retard.

but ya... the hope bit...

we're cool.

i'm drawing stuff... even practicing my colors with pencils.

have fun guys. ]]> ~theyspeaksoftly http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/3861511/ http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/3861511/ Wed, 17 Nov 2004 23:20:10 PST

One deathgrip of a knack for procrastinating + insatiable optimism that i can still get decent grades with 1 month left in the semester = jim misses the deadline to drop with a W instead of an F.

in both classes.

what the freaking hell is wrong.

it feels like i'm missing something... like i've unfinished business elsewhere ... and i can't move on (academically) unless i get those outta the way.

guh.

what a mess.

if i was more than a casual drinker, you can guess what i'd be doing.

but for me, i'll just eat more count chocula.

here's the long and short of it.

i EFFING wasted pretty much my first half of the semester. except for maybe my programming class. but i did bomb that test.

i'm fed up with it. the inactivity... the xbox... the freaking internet. (thankfully the xbox hasn't been an issue for about a month now)

so i decided to get everything back. i'm re-evaluating what is important.

my faith. once this is handled... the rest is comes naturally

my wife.

my studies
(i'm not dropping anything this semester... i'm cutting back my hours at work to just Saturdays... it'll hurt the wallet, but living frugally never hurts... i have an unfair opportunity... i have a wife that's already outta college and took out no student loans... i've swallowed my pride, and yes, i will be mooching for the next month or so),

my skills
(i'm going to be working more on maintaining my artistic abilities... and this will be a direct result of me getting caught up in my homework/studies. I've hired a calc tutor. I'll be taking guitar lessons in a few weeks from my good friend jake. that man is phenominal... so maybe after i while... not only will i be able to make pretty sounds and record them, i'll also know why they sound good! yah! jim won't be a musical HACK anymore!)

my family
(going to see my brother danny run this saturday at lawrence... yes that means getting up at an ungodly hour on saturday morning to get there at 10am... but i owe it to him)

my family
(we're gonna rock out)

my job
(it is important... and i'm doing everything to keep it... but i've been letting my income... and the pride that comes with not taking out loans.... get in the way of using my time most effectively)

---

i know all this isn't going to be a magic fix for what i've allowed to pile up. but much of this will be the fruits of a lot of hard work. so wish me luck... these are gonna be some looooooooooong weeks.

to bad i let it come to this.

give it a rest.

you claim freedom. you claim originality. go to the coffe shop, or even the mall now.

i am the anti-anti

the ultimate anti.

not a jock, not a goth, not a punk, not emo, not a brain, not a stud, not a saint, not a firestarter, not a wandering fool convinced that i'm being shortchanged all the time. not a moron thinking i'm constantly surpressed or censored. not trying to find myself in the bracelets i wear or the piercings i want or the tatoos i design... not the master of confrontation or overintellectual conversation... not the prep basher... not the headbanger (unless i'm by myself or with my buddy matt-rock-on)... not the club-hopper, not the crappy self-indulged poetry writer... not the everyone hates me and i hate them becuase of it bottled-up recluse... not the troubled no-one could ever understand overworked underpaid worry-wort.

i'm not the average guy and i'm not trying to draw attention to myself... i'm not troubled if there's no one to hang out with on saturday night... and i'm not addicted to the internet... i don't wear ties around parts of my body besides the neck (unless i'm pretending i'm rambo)... and i'm not reckless... and i'm not out impress anybody. i'll do anything i want to do... and i've already decided what that is... i'll do it wherever i want to do it... and it will not offend.

i am not a part of this movement. i say respect all humans. and i say we all keep our mouths shut for a while... and really think about where our human race is going...

do you see a populated planet?

i am the anti-anti

i am pro freedom... it's just no one knows how to use it.

we look into the mirror/bill of rights too much.

turn around, give something away. go to sleep instead of drinking yourself there... your wallet will thankyou... and thus your stomach will as well the next day.

i am the anti-anti

counter-culture has become it's own culture... and it's stagnant... and it's starting to smell.

i am the anti-anti

and i will not fight...

i have been in the anti... and i've found it to be empty... and without purpose.

and i do not argue... i live... we'll see who wins

....

and oh...

hey to all my buds...

::::

i personally do not fear nudity or loathe the human form.
however, i feel that "religious brainwashing" does not disregard the human form, but rather works to protect its dignity.

and in reading many of the shorter responses... i have seen a very immature response consisting of "i like nudity" or "yay boobies" and not "i think the human form is beautiful and should be used appropriately"

i do not belive nudity to always be associated with perversion, but as is evident here, quite a few have a very perverted view of nudity... some of which could take a very tasteful work of art with a completely nude human figure and tear it down with "yay boobies" or "hot mansex" cheers.

i am nude when i shower, and nearly so when i sleep. when i share an evening with my wife in the near future, it is quite likely that i will not be wearing clothes. if i were to pose for a figure drawing class... i would be in an environment (even tho personally difficult for me, just because of my basic nature) where mature people who understand the purpose of seeing a nude figure would be studying the human form.

however, there have been many images i have found here that have made me close my browser, not because they have been using the human form for a beautiful piece of work, or studying the mechanics and dynamics of the human anatomy. rather, its someone stripping to their underwear or beyond in the name of freedom of expression.

now, some nudity is appropriate and very useful in art... this is plain to see in any museum or in any figure drawing study in a university. but the problems we have been running across here at DA have not been problems with nudity... but rather nudity used improperly. i draw reference to an icon someone used of a nude anime girl getting rammed from behind with her breasts flying back and forth. this is an obvious perversion and misuse of the human form. i also personally believe many of the "fetish" images and many of the photographs with nude and nearly nude people to be abusing the dignity of the human form... while the human body is beautiful, i find photography of it in either full frontal and a handful of other positions (usually depends on what's exposed) to remove the beauty from the figure and turn it's focus to the sexual pleasure of the viewer's body... which is the same function that porn has. i'm not saying photography cannot have nudity... i'm just saying it's EXTREMELY easy for it to be misused.

a person may find beauty in explosions... and they may use them in live or time-based artwork... but they have the responsibility of making sure no one is hurt in the blast.

when i was very young, in gradeschool, i saw posters on the wall of my friend's older brother's room... these had very nearly-nude images of women, and in hindsight, some were very artistically done... i can make reference now b/c they were burned in my mind. and because i was not mature enough at the time to understand what i was seeing, i did not react with the respect for the human figure that i have now. whether or not we like it, these images we have on our pages impact the young, whether or not they like it.

if we are going to take up the responsibility of using nudity in our artwork, we must make sure it does not distract from our message or intent. and if your intent is to arouse someone or reflect sexual intimacy or expression what-have-you, then perhaps you should decide whether or not you will accept visa and mastercard, or make people pay over the phone.

we dealing with fire here... and with fire we can either aid our fellow man or create serious damage... damage and misunderstanding that can last a lifetime.

again, thankyou all of you for your patience regarding my frequent posts... and thankyou all who have posted passionately on the subject. overall i'd say there has been a very respectful tone from those who have commented on either side with any sense of reason or passion. and i hope beauty comes through as the victor here, and that our community comes out of this heat stronger, and more respectful... of the human form, and of everyone.

g'nite.

why do they call me that? because i've heard all the opinions and reasons before. and i still cling to my beliefs.

there is a difference... between having a closed mind, and making up your mind. and confrontation and bickering do not always have to be associated with the latter.

let us all try to work towards that.

as far as actions of humans go, we may not agree, and we may still speak out about our opinions.... but i see so many sentiments speaking out against christians, attacking them. and even from christians, attacking catholics. when the catholic attacking christian, and christian (truly living a humble life) attacking non-christian population is almost unseen/non-existant.

where is all this hostility coming from.

i try to live so that it does not come from me.

i wish you all well... simply that you are all human is enough for me...

"Hate, n., Heinous.] 1. To have a great aversion to, with a strong desire that evil should befall the person "

even if someone does deserve it, i don't want it for them.

well... i'm done for now

i killed the gopher-face and put something more along the lines of what i had originally intended in its place...

i doofed around with photoshop and " colored" a "drawing" i made... wahoo... faaaaantastic... all the kids are in a buzz about the fabulous things i've done.

eat food, guys... its the only way to be.

oh... btw... lotsa fun [link] ]]> ~theyspeaksoftly http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/1193773/ http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/1193773/ Tue, 23 Sep 2003 00:44:00 PDT

so ya, i started a sketch.. and i really really liked how the figure was turning out... and i even drew the hands relatively well... which i can never pull off!

but i blew it

i started sharpening what i thought the face should look like...

disaster...

maybe i'll post it... i was doing scans throughout the drawing to show how it progressed... but i only got to 3 scans... the face is just that bad.

maybe i won't post it (prolly not) cuz it makes me sad... not so much an embarassment thing.

nite all!!

I KNOW I KNOW... I'VE BEEN HERE FOREVER SO ITS ABOUT TIME I GOT A NEW ONE! : p

YEAH RIGHT... ]]> ~theyspeaksoftly http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/1146160/ http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/1146160/ Tue, 09 Sep 2003 23:48:38 PDT
mind you... i'll be very selective what i put on this site... i think... i'm not sure... it depends on how cynical i am about the art community of today and my aspirations for myself as an artist are at the time.

however... everything that is on this site will also be on my website [link] anyhow... so make your pick... altho here comments are easier to make and are more art centered... whereas my site is more of a collab of everything... altho i try to make some art an intricate part of each layout.

i am a swamped college student... so don't expect a whole lot... but by all means... continue to drop by (if you're even here now). well i guess if you're reading this, then... aahhh nvm...

blammo! ]]> ~theyspeaksoftly http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/1123312/ http://theyspeaksoftly.deviantart.com/journal/1123312/ Tue, 02 Sep 2003 22:57:37 PDT
