hi!
this is going much better than i expected. i never really hoped i could write so often in something. i guess its good for the auld english class!
I'm determined to have something new every day so today will be no exception. Take a look at the video i posted of my piston. I'm very proud of that.
i still have the flu, or something. so I'm either really negative or non responsive...depending on who I'm talking to. :) muscle pain was eased during PE today, where I'm lucky enough to be able to lounge in a steam room and jacuzzi. but my head wasn't so great afterwards!
I went to an art store yesterday to get myself some more acrylics to better my collection. I'm doing art for the leaving cert. but not in school, i get a grind each week. not ideal but its worth it, if only for the art practice. i don't draw or paint as much as i should and this helps encourage me to keep it up. i have fairly good skill with pencil and other solid mediums, but paint was never really my thing. I was painting in oils before acrylic so i have a base but they are really different to each other. I have a piece in progress for the art grind. It's supposed to be on surrealism but i can't see it coming out well. It'll probably end up being just a landscape with contrasts. lol. I'll stick with it though, if anything it's good practise. and i do have another two canvases waiting to be artistically raped.

well, school as everyone knows is not all it's cracked up to be. best days of your life my arse! nowhere else in the world are you forced to do more work at home after a full days work already...every day! it's irritating to think that as soon as this big exam is over, nobody gives a flying duck about you. i can't wait. the worst part is dealing with these teachers who really believe they are the re-incarnated god. i mean, who could get kicks out of punishing kids for trivial things like homework? then of course there are the contradicting ones. those who constantly change decisions and then blow a fuse when somebody contests their decisions. and of course, where theres contradiction there is sarcasm. and that does my head in. grown adults resorting to sarcasm to deal with people half if not less of their age? Yes, i understand teachers are people too, and that they really don't get kicks from it...but there is at least one that i know that does. this teacher is a combination of all the worst things a teacher can be. class consists of copying what is in our text books into notes for the sake of a few lousy words to be changed every paragraph. if there is one message i want to tell her it's that THE BOOK ISN'T WRONG! if it were, it wouldn't be on the market!

some people!

but hey, who gives half a feck? in the grand scheme of things, 100 years from now, it will be a distant memory, if remembered at all! The tough bit about it is how it seems the evil people are always remembered, yet us good people who do our work and stay in line pass by without significance.

I will be remembered. one way or another. watch this space.
