*sigh* So, I'm still here, maybe. I keep hitting ups and downs. Work is good. Life in general is good. But things keep ending up on the down side.

The neverending quest to find initiative isn't going so well. I am not quite sure how to install such a thing into myself.

The evergoing quest to get to art school is almost to the point of abandonment. I just don't think being an "artist" is the right thing for me. I have more of a reoccuring passion to be an educator, and everyone seems to really be pushing me towards it. They say I have a natural talent for it... even my Meyers-Briggs peronality type is great for being a teacher. - and the prospect does appeal to me.

My mom thinks I should be a math teacher. She says that the "arts" are the "first thing to go" when a school cuts budgets. Supposedly they "keep band because of football" and that I would have job stability as a Math teacher. *rolls eyes* Not that I wouldn't have a problem being a math teacher, it's just that I have a hard time taking any of my mom's advice to heart.

Anyway, due to these recent developments, I am not sure if I even want to attend National Portfolio Day. My portfolio sucks giant ass right now.

.......

I'm supposed to be making a Jazz Dragon for Rachael, but I keep coming up dry... I dunno what to do. I was kind of inspired bythe Tymps song by Fiona Apple and thought of doing a skeletal jazz dragon - maybe kind of give it a strange New Orleans flare.... hmmm...

........

Well, hands-down it seems that my photograph Think Pink is the most favourited piece.... and I am not sure what to think of it. It was a crappy shot that I colour manip'd on Photoshop... and I peronally don't particularly like it. I think it's one of those things where if you draw anime-anthro-gayboi-art then you're bound to be popular, must be the same for pink disco balls. *shrugs* Not that I really give a hoot about favs or pageviews. I'd much rather have a good heartfelt comment... but whatever... lol.

Well if you want to do it, you can become an artist just as easily outside of a school. Don't get down on yourself.

My mom used to tell me the same thing, that I should be a teacher, never really understood that though. lol.

And yes there is a certain kind of art that gets a much better response on DA, ehh, go it goes.

Yeah, I've come this far without the help of any formal eductaion (lol. in high school I got c's and even flunked out of art once).

It's not tremendous, but I've had 9 :+fav: to my Think Pink photo since 9/11. That's pretty much unheard of for me, and it's totally bugging me 'cause I don't think it's a bit deserved. The image wasn't all that great or all that difficult to do. It just so happens to be pink and shiny. :dead:

I guess in the case of the :+fav: I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, though. At least it is kind of giving me some pageviews. I just wish people could learn to post comments, 'ya know? I wouldn't mind some random feedback, other than "ooo colours". *sigh*
