Artist Statement

Hello faithful few, I am busy at work trying to bang out my artist statement and statement of purpose for these grad school applications. I thought I would have something to post for you guys this week on it but it is still very rough. I will def have something for you guys next week on it. I might post an early rough draft of it Tuesday but I am not sure yet.

My week was pretty good. My birthday was this past Tuesday. I treated myself to a double feature and dinner. I enjoyed it. That's all I did. Well that's all I have for you guys this week. Pray for the families in Haiti everyone.

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...

Resolutions

Hello faithful few, how are you guys? How was your week? Mine was pretty good. Next week is my birthday and I am pretty excited about that. I will be crossing over into another demographic, lol. I will still be the same old me though. :)

This week I kind of thought about resolutions. I wondered if I had any to declare or if I had any to share. I have been telling you guys how I want to kind of switch up my blog a little, so I guess that's sort of a resolution. I guess my main resolution that I think i will share with you guys is that I plan on carrying out everything that I set out to do this year. That includes; my relationship, my health, my life, and my work. The past year was a trying year for me. I experienced things that I never had experienced before. I had to come to grips death, getting older and failure. In this new year, I will forge ahead and strive to continue bettering myself. I will not let self-doubt and second-guessing foil my efforts to being a better me, a new me!

Happy New Years!

Hey faithful few! It looks like we are in another year and a new decade! The next six weeks are going to be hectic for me going forward and I am excited. I will be hopefully bringing you guys lots of art, so be looking for that. Ummm, let's see...oh yeah I will try to tackle alot of issues that are going on in the world as well as trying to bring about more art discourses in my blog. It looks like I will be bringing you guys so good stuff in new year!

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...

Last post of 2009 or is it...

Hello faithful few, how goes it? I trust that you guys had a safe and pleasant holiday. My holiday was OK. It was my first holiday without my big sis, so it was kind of tough and a bit sad. And speaking of that, today is the exact date 4 months ago since she passed. I still miss her everyday. I will strive to keep her legacy and her spirit within my heart. I love you Cookie.

Speaking of the number 4. Today coincidentally is the 4 yr anniversary of me being at my current job. I wonder if the number 4 is a sign. I made a facebook comment about how some kid has went through some undergrad program somewhere in the time I have been working at my job. I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe its a bit of a catch-22 but I am going to leave that alone. I don't really care for Dr. Phil but he had a show about social networking and there were experts on there talking about what you should and shouldn't post for the world to see. Never know a job or grad school maybe checking out the facebook/twitter accounts. I have always adhere to that motto myself personally but the more you get into this things the easier it is for you to slip.

This may or may not, be my last post of the current year. I plan on in the coming post bring you some of my resolutions as well as some artwork that I have finally been finishing up. I also think I am close to get my portfolio the way I want to present it so I will be bringing you guys that as well. I have some deadlines that I need to make, you know. It's all apart of the "new" me. I plan on going through a lot of changes after my birthday in a couple of weeks and I will bring you guys all the amazing news and ideas I have for the new decade and the "new" me.

Snow Day...I had a snow day today...

So today faithful few, I did not have to go into work because we had a snow day. Baltimore was bombarded with snow. So much SNOW. So I laid in bed most of the morning and then I jumped up and preceded to almost shovel my entire block! Even when I went out for my second go around, I started to do the whole block again, lol. I don't know what got into me. Well, my post was going to be about some work that i have done the past week but I will save that for my next post. Instead I am going to leave you guys with some pics of my day with the snow. I was pretty much the only person in my neighborhood out shoveling. Does that make me crazy? LOL!!!
