why can't i sleep all day?

hey all
i just want to be asleep. the land of the waking is a little too uninteresting. the highlight of my day is lunch with one of my best friends. after that the day just goes down hill and i spend the rest of my time wishing to sleep or thinking about all the crap i am supposed to do. i think i should stop thinking. anyway i watched three episodes of alias last night it is better than i originally thought but i am still unsure on whether or not i am going to watch the whole series. i also watched some my name is earl that i had not seen. anyways i think i should try to get back to my day job. history books here i come!
i'll see you

still kicking

hey all
i am still floating around. the birthday was quiet and pleasant and last week i moved my sister home so that was pretty cool. i got some pretty exciting (at least to me) news that my thesis book is now in the university of illinois library system so now people can i-share my thesis book and check it out from any collegiate library in the state of illinois. pretty sweet. anyways i just finished up a class that i was sitting in on. it was a making comic class and was pretty good. i wish it had been a longer class instead of being a four week class for six hours a day cause it would have been nice to have it as a eight week class for like three hours a day. i hope to start updating more (a wrench was thrown into parts of my plans for that cause my scanner broke) anyways i gots some stuff to do to try to figure out exactly what i am doing with the move up to niu but that can't really even be contemplated until tomorrow at the soonest.
be seeing you

in future times

hey all
i am still kicking(haha you can't stop me---kick, kick) anyways. i have been really busy recently first setting up for my thesis show and then taking it down in the last couple of weeks. i have been a little stressed and been misplacing anger so if any of that got thrown your way: my bad, yo!
so the thesis went well and i sold a solid portion of my books and all that jazz. we had a sweet turn out and stuffs. i am excited it is over. now all i gots to do for shows really is show up to others and eats all their foodz and i guess the b.f.a. show. i also got into grad school and need to make a trip up to niu to sign some shit. i think imma do that in the beginning of may. so yeah. hopefully i will post artwork. i know i keep saying that but really it is one of my hopes.
keep on rockin' in the free world

i met Simon j. Smith on sunday. he is the director of Bee Movie and he is british. he had some funny stories and lots of information about how they had changed the way they made the cartoon movies because of jerry seinfeild's involvement. jerry was apparently involved with every possible process to give the whole film that seinfield vibe. i spoke with him for probably a total of like half an hour about story boarding. it was one of the coolest experiences i have had. i am such a nerd.
