Cleaness/Messiness of Living Space

Messy rooms.

Mess:a state of confusion and disorderliness

Some consider my room to be quite messy, but it is just example of the way my brain works. My room works around my bed which is where I sit to work on everything I do. On occasion I will sit on the floor, which is where I store things that I will need to find immediately. Next to my bed at this moment in time sits:

A sketchbook

Temporary tattoos

a tissue box

Marvel Encyclopedia

Journal

a box of drawing supplies

a capo

retainer case (hot, I know)

some tic-tacs

cards

and clothes, of course.

Also on my floor is the April 2010 issue of Psychology Today. Inside is an article about messy vs neat rooms. Which I was interested in to see if they could back me up for being a lazy slob.

Office Spaces, by Jay Dixit(cool name) begins with a quote by Albert Einstein. "If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" Great question, Einstein, empty desk signifies BORING. If you need to have neatness, no problem, but its too much for me--too little I suppose. The article explains that neat people remember to do things by keeping lists or planners, whereas messy people have to see things in their environment that will remind them. People just function differently, I guess.

My environment can't be a plain room, nothing on the floor, everything completely neat and tidy. Not now, not ever. I want things to look at. If I search around the floor I want to find something that I've been looking weeks for, there's always a surprise! My mom claims that I'm a hoarder, but I just like to keep things. I'ma an artist, I feed off creativity and I need to have random crap to hang from my ceiling or tape to my walls.

Are you a neat freak? Or are you a slob?

Best friends.

Are.

Better than.

Snorting crack.

Where would anyone be without their best friend? They'd be pathetic, lonely, empty losers (to put it nicely.) A best friend is not there to shop with you or search for hot people or talking shit about other people -they can do that but they're there for so much more.

Best friends are supposed to be a child with you no matter if you're 5 or 90, they'll stick with you when you're being an asshole, and hopefully do anything and everything you guys can come up with.

Personally, my best friend is the shit. We met last year, but I feel like we were in the womb together-- or maybe we were even attached at the head.

We have no shame, we'll send each other texts with pictures of bruises and cuts or hardcore hickeys. I call my best friend....Smelly K.

Last summer we covered ourselves in pirate tattoos we bought at Walgreens (every time we're there we check out the toy aisle.) That summer we also purchased a giant bag of army men from said toy aisle and battled out on the sidewalk outside of Papa Gino's.

Ever done the Safety Dance? We have. One of our many theme songs happens to be the Safety Dance-- "everybody look at your hands." You know the one with the video containing the crazy midget dancing around and the intense guy with the vest? We performed the safety dance out on a dock nearby Smelly K's house. At the end of the dance (which made us seem like we needed a high dose of Ritalin,) we heard someone call out "nice moves!" A man from the coast guard had been watching us dance the whole time... it was great. Pretty funny, I thought he had said "nice boobs" at first and got a little freaked out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg

There are so many stories that could be told about Smelly K and I. She's my bestest pal, and I'd be so boring without her. If you don't have a best friend, get one lickedy split.

*check out us eating grossness*

Lady GaGa?

Yeah, so I pretty much hate modern music. For years I've been noticing its suckiness. However, Lady GaGa caught my eye. At first, being me, I had to say she was stupid. I hated her, but soon things changed. Turns out she's really a talented musician. She actually plays an instrument...yeah... You'd think it's impossible to play an instrument these days. Something about modern times means that you have to have 100% computerized riffs (either stolen, or created by someone you hire.) It's rare to find a pop artist who will actually sing without some kind of distortion to their voice.

Lady Gaga has been playing piano since she was four and will actually sing fo rizzle, so show some respect. Also she has the guts to show some originality.

Photoshopped Pictures

All of these pictures I created with Photoshop.

For NARNIA!

this actually wasn't photoshopped, I was

really in Narnia.

Robert Smith

Some of my favorite musicans in a picture I took

of my shoes.

Hannibal Lecter

Hannibal Lecter (I believe from a screenshot I took

while watching Red Dragon)

The Beatles and I on a flying couch in the sky. This actually

wasn't photoshopped either...

Yes, I love the Beatles

Adamantium v. Lightsabers

Earlier this year my brother and I had a discussion about Adamantium. Yes, Adamantium the metal which Wolverine's skeleton is composed of.

[Adamantium according to Wikipedia]

Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy in the Marvel Comic Universe.

It appears most notably as the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's

skeleton and bone claws.

Adamantium can cut through practically anything and is basically indestructible. Wolverine's claws were formerly bone, until Weapon X pumped his skeleton with a liquid form of the metal. I've read that it is magnetic to an extent.

This argument, however, was whether a lightsaber could cut through Adamantium.

My view was that there was no way a crappy stick with a beam of light could cut through such a powerful metal. But people who oppose that thought argue that a light saber emits pure energy. I found a little bit of information on the weapon on Wookieepedia. Who couldn't trust a site with a name like that?

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber

Lightsaber's can cut through crap, for example Anakin Skywalker's arm. Interestingly enough the way that it cuts prevents the victim from bleeding insanely. According to Wookiepedia, it could cut through almost anything...ALMOST.

Could a lightsaber cut through Adamantium? What do you think?

Hula Hooping Maniac

Since this is my first entry that I've written in a while, I chose to discuss the topic of hula hooping.

As children all of us have gyrated with a hoop and depending on your age - you may have rolled one. Some hula hoop for exercise, to look sexy by moving their hips in such a suggestive manner, or if you're like me - you just wanna look cool.

People told me to get more of this thing called "physical activity" or better known as,"exercise." Apparently this miracle drug is a cure for depression, prevents heart disease, and helps murder fatness. Little did I know, this was no drug. It is basically the equivalent of not being lazy.

So, I put this idea off for a long and finally I was inspired. (For a while I had thought of training to become a pirate, and before that a superhero. However, that was too difficult and I was not sure how to go about doing so.)
This new form of inspiration came in the form a bitchin' video game character. Tira, the hula hooping fighter in Soul Calibur(IV, because it pwns the rest, besides II-which is also fantastic.)

(check out Tira being cool)

Yeah so Tira is bad ass. Seeing her in action is amazing (and customizing her costume is wicked great, one of the major benefits of Soul Calibur IV.) My goal is to learn some of these tricks. I hadn't remembered how badly I sucked at hoopin' at first...But now I've got the hang of it. I've been attempting some tricks and slashed my mom with it, Tira style.

I have yet to attach the knives.
