I am not dead.

I am just undergoing a medium change.

That is to say....

I'm going for audio more than visual as of late. I've got four original songs worth playing with MY lyrics, and one song my friend wrote lyrics to and I wrote chords to.

As per visual art, I've got extreme artist's block.

I've been thinking lately I need to get back on the horse...

Maybe I will. School's almost out, and I'm going down to Texas. I'll take my scratch equipment with me, I'm sure there'll be something pretty to do down there.

Love you all, smexies!

P.S.... I've got two of my songs up on my Myspace profile. [link]

Today we took a trip to the AIDS quilt at Bovee University Center. I must say, it was a really eye-opening experience. I don't think it hit me in the way it was intended to, though. I didn't come away with a sense of putting a face to AIDS, or anything like that. To me it was more like, these people caught the diseases mainly by being sexually promiscuous or shooting drugs. Many of them were homosexual, though not all. I don't hold any of that against them. What really hit me was that their families still loved these people, whole-heartedly, unstintingly. To think that you could fuck up your life and catch a disease (by fuck up I mean promiscuity and drugs, not homosexuality) and be forgiven by people you know... and accepted back by them with open arms....

It makes me feel sort of optimistic.

I hope that I have that sort of family, and though I don't plan on testing to see if they're like that, I really hope they are.

I still wanted to go to that Jazz Weekend thing, though... it says weekend, so mayhap I can go on Sunday with my father dear.


On the side concerning dA, I have a few things planned that should be showing up shortly.

Firstly, there's a scratch art half-finished of this ([link]) which I finally put onto board.

Secondly, I recently acquired some packaging pellets from my science teacher. I'm going to paint these colors and create a mosaic with them on cardboard... sort of a fun cheap materials type of thing, you know? This will probably be a landscape, along a horizontal strip of cardboard. I'm excited for it!

Thirdly, I have a half-finished painting up in Port Hope from Christmastime. I may or may not finish this next time I'm up there - as it *is* very Christmas themed - but just giving you the heads-up.
