yup.
haven't posted in a MINUTE.
but i've got some things to say.
i've been really paranoid and skeptical of everything these past few months, but i feel like it's for legitimate reasons.
going to art school, working at bull moose and living in the city have made me realize now more than ever how programmed we all are to consume.
i know that deep down inside, most of us are aware of the mind control and manipulation that's going on.
it's been happening for years, and it's only going to get worse unless we make an effort to fall off the radar and enjoy things that are good because they're good, not because someone tells us it's good.
here's what needs to happen:
1. turn off the goddamn tv.
i'm glad i haven't watched cable in months. it cuts out so much advertising and shitty false information.
i don't trust the news especially, and it makes me sick to my stomach to think that so many people assume that nbc/abc/cbs MUST check their facts if they're going to broadcast to millions.
get real. assume that everything they report is a lie.
2. surf responsibly.
asking people to stop using the internet is ridiculous, i know. i'm guilty of social networking and blogging and what have you, but having a skeptical attitude helps to avoid a lot of the bullshit i'm exposed to. the most important thing to do right now is to avoid any site that is collecting information about you. limit what you say you're interested in. your friends should appreciate you for who you are, not who you're listening to or watching. you should delete your last.fm account. when i started mine four years ago, the site was owned by a small company in london. about a year ago, it was bought by cbs. the data that website collects makes it sooooo easy for record companies to put together shitty pop groups who sound like your favorite bands, and in turn entice you to buy their cd. i want to shake every fourteen year old myspacer who comes into bull moose to pick up a hollywood undead cd. get some taste.
3. know who you're giving your money to.
buying a cd or dvd from wal mart is just like having a last.fm account. you are letting a huge corporation know what you like, which makes it that much easier for them to target you with advertising. buying a used cd from bull moose or another independent record store is a much smarter option. and when you get that cd home, pop it in your cd player rather than your computer. i have a feeling that itunes is recording tons of data too. an even better option is to buy vinyl. as if anyone will have any idea what i'm into if i'm spinning a record i bought at strange maine or enterprise. no computers in those places, dig?
i sound super paranoid about technology, but i think we should all be more aware of who's watching us and how they're doing it. i'm sick of having my style shaped and molded by a handful of rich dudes in powerful positions. whoa, nelly. that was a rant.

knitta please.
i love these shits.
"Knitta began in August 2005, when the soon-to-be-Knittas were discussing their frustration over unfinished knitting projects: half-knitted sweaters and balls of yarn gathering dust. That afternoon, they knit their first door handle. Then it dawned on them… a tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings. With a mix of clandestine moves and gangsta rap — Knitta was born."
only one thing at a time, anything more really hurts your mind.
fucked things up for myself.
academically and financially speaking.
but i feel the best i have since last summer.
confident that i'll figure things out when the time is right.
but enjoying the unpredictability while it lasts.
late nights and sunny days and cozy bedtimes with that boy. mmm!
finally free to be drawing pictures and writing stories.
maybe i'm even happy.

i'm the phantom, i'm the phantom.
fat cat records is re-issuing a bunch of animal collective albums on vinyl!march 9, yesyesyesyesyes!!!!
can't wait to have spirit they're gone, spirit they've vanished spinning 'round making those sounds that shake up my insides.
if my paycheck allows, i'm sure i'll be snagging sung tongs too.
best ever, those two.

kimmy gibbler.
wide awake after a long day at work.
class at 8 that i'll probably sleep through.
fail fail fail.
gelsey invited me to san francisco this summer. [!!!!!!!]
i've dreamed of visiting for years.
i'll gladly postpone my tattoo plans for a plane ticket.
such a lovely place filled with lovely people like this:
i've been drawing a lot more lately.
it feels great.
i figure sucking as an art student doesn't mean i have to suck as an artist.
dig?

first.
new blog because i am restless and you should read about it.
and also because past blogs are too past-oriented.
the time is right for facing forward.
to do:
+ go to class.
+ find words to go along with my thoughts.
+ stop skipping meals.
+ smoke less.
+ spend less.
+ spend less on things to smoke.
+ stop fooling around with boys.
+ start looking for a man.
