I have to write a paper and make a movie for my finals, but I just found the bound collection of Mexican archeology in the library. So goodbye homework.

Hey internets. This world is hungry and it's people are strange. I decided a few days ago to give away all the music I've made, or I guess the correct term is make it available for free download. Most of it is awful, but some of it I'm proud of. Mostly I want to get it out of just my computer and let people hear it. So anyway, I'm working on that project right now. In other news,

Hi, hello, how are you?It seems to me that the mall may be the saddest place on earth. But maybe that's just because I went there four times this week. I also went to sleep much earlier than I have in a long time due to something spoiled I ate. I decided that to deal with my enormous stomach ache I would watch a VHS of 'Snatch.' I fell asleep about halfway through. I had fever dreams, and I

So he wakes up in a small room with brown walls and forest green trim. The brown walls are the color of walnuts, the outside, the shell. Forest green, if you're not aware, doesn't look good with any other color. It doesn't remind anyone of the forest. So he wakes up, and he's smells the mattress. It's as though his sense of smell has flipped a switch as his mind becomes aware of consciousness

Everyone has to buy, borrow, or illegally download the new DEVO album, "Something For Everybody." I don't dig the vocals that much, they're a tiny bit over the top, but I can't be mad at it. It's sick. One of their refrains is just a repetitive chant of "Don't taze me brooo, don't taze me brooo." Nothing wrong with that.

I am having a difficult time with one of my homework assignments for painting that requires that we create a new persona and then make some sort of self portrait from our new perspective. In brainstorming for how to reach my new persona I thought "Hey, I'll Google myself and create a persona from what is available of me on the internet." I came upon this unfortunate link: Because I'm at school

I just got off the horn with the news that the homie Brother Ali got his celebrity sighting on at his show at the Jackson Hole in Wyoming. Apparently someone bum rushed the stage, grabbed a mic, and started beat boxing. Ali kicked him off the stage, until BK-One was like, "Yo, that was Justin Timberlake." Apparently the ex-mouskateer ex-N*Sync member is a fan and came to the show. After that

I decided to make it my New Year's Resolution to regain this incredible talent. So far I've spit all over myself.

I'll be kicking myself in approximately 3 1/2 hours when I will need to get ready for class, but right now is still my vacation and I'm going to enjoy it.

How many people are accidentally going to shoot their kid/spouse/dog when it sneaks up on them. That's why I always like to keep my shotgun at least 22.6 feet away from me at all times, this distance gives me enough time to think, "Is it a burglar, or did Timmy wet the bed?"

My 22nd Birthday was a great one, despite the minor setback of being hit by a car. Here it is in a chronological list: - Brain damage - Painting - Class/ bad critique - Car accident - Grocery Shopping - Presents - Hat - Popcorn - Paper chains - Body aches - Movie Overall really fun, really busy, and exhausting. Thanks to Meg for making it great, I hope to celebrate with friends soon, but sorry

I thought this was interesting, although I'd also like to see this at an Obama book signing, I think the majority of the people who really like to bash one side aren't really as informed as they claim to be. (I do generally support the Obama administration, but I think it's important to point out that this misinformed populace isn't only on one side).

You may remember the exclusive (not really, it spread everywhere) Trees Grow Leaves interview with Ewok HM MSK 7th Letter about a year ago. Here's a video of him and Chicago's Pose doing it big in South Korea recently. Last time I saw big E was at Soundset in Minnesota, and perhaps it was the 8 dollar beers or the heat stroke, but he didn't think it was very funny when I offered to do his

(Click to Enlarge) Last night's self portrait, painted with a palette knife, which was an incredibly challenging but rewarding experience. Next week's homework... another self portrait. I really don't feel like painting myself anymore. Maybe this is why Rembrandt has so many self portraits... Sorry again for the poor quality photo, it's my phone again.

News from the front: Meaghan is back from Ireland! Home safe and sound, she has definitely decreased my productivity because it's much more fun to hang out with your roommate than do homework.

I first was became acquainted with Aaron Horkey at a show at what I believe is the now defunct OXOP gallery in Minneapolis. Let me try that again.

After that I got to know his fine art at one of the first

Have you ever found yourself eating something, read the packaging, and immediately become nauseas? Usually this happens when someone finds out they are allergic to something in the ingredients or they find out that hot dogs aren't as wholesome as they appear. These things tend not to bother me, if I'm eating something delicious and then find out that it hats rats eyes as the main ingredient, it

Remember what the soundtrack to life was ten years ago?I forgot how much of an influence house music had in the 1990's...How similar are those two Vengaboys songs? they're essentially a different arpeggio button hit on the came keyboard with a synth horn. That's right, I figured you out!

I don't know if it's the music or the narrator, but this video is really frightening to me. Perhaps made scarier by the fact that some of these things do exist, and I can only assume the others are on their way. Do you think that in medieval times people feared the advances of the horse drawn carriage and the modern science of superstition? Am I out of touch with today's youth?

For those of you who know me well you know that when I set off for college (the first time) I went to study "Creative Expression and Racial Relations/Social Justice."

This week's drawing homework is to draw an exploded view of an object in 1/2 scale, using either parallel projection of perspectival projection or a combination of both. Here are my notes, with the example of a blender.We then did a few quick sketches of stools at the end of class so that our professor could make sure everyone understood how to explode an object. I am very excited about this

I didn't have time to make another MS-Paint celebratory image, but here it is: 200th Post. I will celebrate by posting some more art.This week's assignment for painting was to create a reproduction of Degas 'Portrait of Diego Martelli.' This was our first oil painting assignment, so it was time to see what people actually could do with this tricky medium. (The image above is the Degas painting).

This is the finished product. Also, it was brought to my attention that I didn't fully explain my sketchbook drawings. I was NOT writing what brought me joy in order from first to last, I was responding to our assignment, which was a very limited scope.

In fact, I wrote a fifteen page research paper about the use of children as the antagonists in horror films and why it is so frightening. I found that paper recently and put a check mark next to "reasons I spent so much money at NYU." Thanks to Mark and his "Imagining Childhood" class.But I believe the scariest thing is

I'm going to start a new sketchbook blog with only images of pages from sketchbooks. But I don't feel like it right now, so here you go world:I'm trying to tackle what makes you look crazy? Big eyes, huge grin. Trying to illustrate "Joy."Facial expressions that I was working through for joy as well.

Last night I received a text message from a stranger who must have thought I was their friend. I decided that I would play along, and found it quite entertaining:651 500 6008: Your gay lolMe: Who is this?651 500 6008: Your worse nitemareMe: You're Glenn Beck?!

Because I am dead broke currently I love to fantasize about things that I will someday be able to afford. This may never happen, but nevertheless it keeps me working hard with my nose to the grindstone. Speaking of which, I need a new grindstone. The first item on my list is a semi-hollow body electric guitar. I've always wanted one of these, but since my guitar bit the dust it's in my head more

Brought to you by last week's Brown/RISD College Hill Independent:In an article recently published the Independent wrote about Mexico's recent decriminalization of drugs for personal use. This makes sense, it's a hot topic. But the part that was funny was this excerpt:"It is now illegal to send someone to jail for the possession of 2 grams of marijuana (about three joints) or half a gram of

I am going to have to completely stop blogging for the next month and a half, as I just realized there is no time to look up Youtube videos or write joke monologs when I have five classes going at the same time.Quick update:-Toothache-Making food-200 drawings-Nature Lab tonight-Paper writing-Paper writing-Paper writingI was going to post a wishlist blog just to remind myself of things I want,

I sometimes act in an irrational fashion.For example, I do not have the internet at my home, nor television. So when I finish my homework I generally read a book, or even better, go to sleep. However, last night instead of using the precious ONE NIGHT that I didn't have a copious amount of homework to do, I made a beef roast. Do you know how long you need to simmer a beef roast on the stove for

Sorry to leave you hanging four readers, but it seems like doing actual work and getting my assignments done is more important than writing daily jokes.However, here is Today's Joke:Art school seems to be a void of knowledge. For example, if you ask anyone at art school why they do not know anything, they will undoubtedly respond, "How should I know that, I go to art school."This can range from

Today's joke is brought to you by Tide.I'm a cornucopia with teeth.Is the Marshmallow Peep the chicken equivalent of a blow up doll?What part of the chicken is the nugget by the way? It is my contention that the nugget must either be the soul of the chicken, or a lump of meat above the pancreas.Speaking of chicken nuggets, have you ever noticed how babies in strollers are experiencing the best

Today's joke is a practical joke, which I accidentally played on myself.Drink 1 pot of coffee.Study late into the night, and top it off with a bag of microwave popcorn.Eat half a bowl of cereal before realizing the milk is bad.Try to hold that down.Also, I realized I didn't post yesterday's joke.

Remember when I wrote this about Kanye West being Warhol-esque? I was greatly mistaken. He's just a good musician prone to childish temper-tantrums. If you sleep hard on the internet, then maybe you don't know about his latest outburst where he interrupted Taylor Swift in the middle of her acceptance speech at the VMA's this weekend. This was ridiculous, and, thankfully got Kanye booed. Dude,

How many times can you have "the first day of school?" So far this year: 3 times.First RISD assignment: Illustrate 70 apples. First thing that popped into my head: "That's not very many..."Let's do this.PS: Today's joke is being formulated, but I'll let this one simmer a bit longer before serving it, with a slotted spoon.

On this episode of 'Today's Jokes' I actually am just going to make one long joke. To make it clear, these jokes are told in my 'joking persona' and therefore the character delivering them should be judged as a work of fiction:I hate meeting new people. Whenever I meet new people I get stressed out, my hands get clammy, my muscles freeze in the worst of the flight/fight/f*** response, and I

Jay-Z has released the Blueprint 3, which I am convinced is the REAL return since the Black Album. Yeah, 'Kingdom Come' had some shit on there that was pretty terrific, but also huge pitfalls, and 'American Gangster' was as good a foray into a movie soundtrack/concept album, but this is the real deal.I've heard a lot of criticism about this album so far, a lot of people do not like the direction

The following are probably not very funny, most of them don't even have punch-lines. This is the kind of humor you can expect hanging out with me (a few of these are collaborative efforts).Baby showers are always awkward, because their small hands can never really work a loofa.At work I ate the last piece of strawberry pie, clearly labeled "Do not eat." Later someone noticed a stain on my shirt.

I would like to retract what I said about Emma Watson. It seems that everyone here in Providence has the fever and has made plans to befriend her through one weird plot or another and for alternative motives. That sucks, because she's just a freshman, and it's rough when everyone is talking about you (believe me, I know [this is a joke, I don't know (brackets)]).So anyway, my internet apologies,

Today I started class at Brown, it was sick, but was not sick was realizing that my second tube in my bike has gone flat. Two tubes, one day. I guess that means I'm taking a trip to Benny's, where bicycle tubes are across the aisle from Dale Earnhart Jr. bath towels.Today's blog topic of discussion is how awesome the president is. And this is not a political endorsement, or anything like that,

I'm at the RISD library looking up my schedule so that I can figure out whether to take "Nude Interpretive Dance" or "Full Contact Pottery" at Brown, and also so that I can let the Nature Lab, my new employer at RISD, know what hours I am available. The nature lab is full of taxidermied animals, bones, fossils, live animals, etc. Basically it's awesome, and I am going to work in a room that looks

When a movie starts off "I had two friends over, one regular one and one Indian one" you know it's going to be bad. This is this worst. This is absolutely the worst.I can only hope this is a joke. I really hope this is a parody or social comedy or something like that.Please.Please.
