the proof is in the kodak

..actually it's Nikon.

840 pictures in one night.
first of many. i hate going to bed. i just want to edit all these.

but the truth is

I don't know anything about politics. It's frustrating, the whole idea of the system. I feel like people just label themselves "liberal" or "conservative" and then their votes are already decided for whatever issue or whatnot. Like, a person who considers themselves a "liberal" will go and take the liberal side, because they're supposed to. If we could throw these labels away, maybe people would actually think for themselves and not just lump together with what's supposed to happen.

i'll look on the bright side

I feel like my arm is an amnesia patient and I have to reteach it everything about its old life.

Random analogies define my life.

you're still probably workin' at a 9 to 5 pace

can't erase, can't replace it

I hate hate hate not being able to ride. It's been like two freaking months. I've been riding for 8ish years and have never been away from it for this long and I am going crazy. I mean I try not to think about it because that makes it worse. But this SUCKS. That's definitely going to be the worst part about college next year, I'm gonna miss my pony so dang much.

I'm trying to gather all my favorite photos of me and Freedom through the years. It's crazy how much we've both changed. Really wish I didn't have to sell him soon. That's something else I try not to think about.

so say what you wanna say

I hate when journals/sketchbooks get published. I've seen books that are "inside the sketchbooks of the best graffiti artists" or the "authentic, unedited journals" of a musician or something. They look really cool because they've always got that grungy, handwritten style. But journals and sketchbooks are not for publishing.. they're not to be show-offish or to be used as a model for someone else's journal/sketchbook. I hate published ones because I feel like people pick them up and say, "oh wow, look at how GOOD this is.." Sketchbooks are not supposed to be.. glorified. Publishing it defeats the whole purpose. A sketchbook is like an artist's brain puked onto paper. Not finished, sometimes not even started. When they get published, it makes other artists feel like theirs somehow isn't good enough. Or it makes it seem like a sketchbook has to be really good, every page.

but the party don't stop

Well it's been another crazy weekend, lovin' it.

I should be studying for finals.. I need to get at least a 68 on stats, which I feel like should be easy but I'm screwed if it's not. Especially because I've been sucking at stats lately. I'm so ready to be done with high school..
