Here I am.

i think, anyway.

I just capped off one of the longest weekend|week|weekends ever by discovering that I have been "dismised" from school.  Not much to say about that.  For those who havent been around for a long time, I didnt go to college until I was 23.  Completed over 3 years of a BA then moved to NJ and couldnt find another program.  Settled for one, then another online graphic design AS programs, losing practically all credits.  And you know what?  I am just so fucking tired of it.  I am tired of paying over and over for classes on shit I already know.  I am tired of being told "Fundamentals of Deisgn" and "Design Fundamentals" are such different courses that the credit wont transfer.  I am tired of staying up until 4 am half the week to "design a logo".  Yeah buddy, I do that about twice a week.  Can’t I get some experiential credit for that?

For the most part, I am just sick and tired.  School was enlightening and enriching when I went for fine art.  I was in a group of my peers, discovering my personal artistic language.  I wrote epic papers on periods in art.  In the two years since I started going to school for this nonsense, I havent painted|sculpted|drawn once.  Not once.  I think that is pretty sad.  I’ll leave designing the sellout empty bullshit to the 9-5.  Rather, the 9-wheneverthefuckshitisdone.  Which sort-of explains why I got thrown out of school. 

In the six months I have to figure it out before Sallie Mae sends the knee breaker to my door, I’ll make a plan.  Right now, I’m just glad to have my life back.

I suppose I will post a real update soon.  Until then….
