Freedom of Speech (by sτενεωooδroω) My friend Timothy Dick made this image back in 2004 or 2005, when he was working in/near Seattle, I think. Similar to something we used to do in art class back in junior high, it started with finding a great image from National Geographic magazines of years gone by. Then [...]

I can’t take credit for this, but I still think it’s great: You’re never what you think you are, man. At least not to other people. We expound endless amounts of energy trying to be this or be that — whatever it is we think has value to the outside world — and for what? [...]

I’ve been thinking lately of how I’ve ended up where I am today, and how life has unfolded thus far. I find it particularly interesting to think back to earlier times and the contrast where I thought I would (or wouldn’t) end up versus where I actually am now.

You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends.

I’ve got two nuggets of amusement here to keep my blog from going completely stale: What were they thinking? The 10 worst LP album covers. It seems times were different back when you had to make your album covers without Photoshop, or good taste for that matter. MC Lars – Signing Emo: I got this [...]

I’ve not blogged in a while, so I figured my poor blog deserves an update just when I need to be studying the most. Go figure. Here are a few (in the words of Bob McLeod) “short snappers” about what’s going on with me right now: First off, I’ve been elected as the new Senior [...]

Thanks to Jane, I’ve been introduced to the joy of literature that is Kurt Vonnegut’s writings. They’re slightly absurd, edgy, slightly amusing, and complete with illustrations. This, for example, is my impression of what Mr. Vonnegut might draw in one of his novels: It’s a book, a collection of papers covered in ink printing and [...]
