Well, this post is actually going to be a thoughtful entry.
My teachers are excentric and I love it. I have an 8:00am Design II class, and the first day of class was interesting. We did the usual: name, grade, etc...but then we had to tell something that we wanted to do...and I just said I wanted to be excentric. He asked why, and I replied, "because its fun." He continued to go around the room and all the other students answered his questions. I sat there in shock. Whenever i'm in shock my mind starts racing: How many students will graduate, get that 9 to 5 job, have that perfect spouse, live in suburbia, with 2.5 kids, a dog and a cat, the white picket fence...and the list goes on...what a borring existance. It made me think...I don't want that 9-5 job with that hour lunch break...I want to travel and live life to its ultimate fullest! I made a second realization today in that same class. We were watching a movie about a famous artist...the one who invented the mobil. Well, they mentioned in the movie that the older this guy got the more excentric he got. He, evidentally, had a bright orange bike and wore gray nicker-bockers and long orange socks...while riding around Paris in the 1920s. I thought that was the coolest thing ever! I then realized...i'm excentric...i'm excentric beyond all belief. I made the consious decision about a week ago to be completely excentric....to not care about anything else except having fun and enjoying life. Isn't that how everybody should live? I think so, but i believe that we all loose sight of that. We loose sight of being human. I have decided...i want to do something with my art that nobody has ever done before. Something that will change the face of the art world...once again!

I'll live the boring life for you. : ) Whenever you want a break from eccentricity, come and visit me. ; p Me and my pom, because at this point in time that's all I've decided will be allowed in my house.
Maybe that in itself is eccentric. Whatever. There should be a spare bedroom at any rate.
No picket fence, too much effort to keep whitewashed. I'd like some nice filigreed iron work, but I'll probably be too poor to afford a fence period.
And, because I'm lazy and won't want to do yardwork, chances are really good I won't even live in a house for a while.
Maybe a condo. Or a loft. I'd even settle for an apartment, as long as it's in a safe part of town. : /
All of this thought about the future is kind of terrifying, so um... yes. That's the end of this fairly ridiculous comment.
so, i thought you should have another comment.
and also... i need to get tips from you... on the personalization process of blogger...
Usually i think understated kicks some major ass. but i think the site may be a tad more understated than is strictly necessary. -_-
next time i see you. i'll write out a list of question. :/ or not. we'll see.
