"Chicken Scratch Folder"

2007-10-28T20:02:00.000-07:00

BRINGIN IT BACK OLD SCHOOL, lol.

so i was cleaning out one of shelves since i got to buy a very flimsy..BUT useful NEW shelf from wallmart and now i got ROOM! while i was stashing my junk-- i saw an old drawing i made when I was (eheeem) obsessed with SAILORMOON-- i think that was when "Toonami" was hot. so ummm 6th, 7th grade perhaps? yeaaah.... DONT judge my skilllsss... i was like 10.. well maybe 13 0r 14 watever.

i figured since i had nada to do today--like ANY day, i inked (and finally broke my staedtler pens) the drawing and colored it-- very gheeeeetto-ly. this was exactly what they told us in school--what NOT to do. o well... it's only chicken scratch :)

among in my chicken scratch folder is my NEW NEW favorite character from MEET THE ROBINSONS (which was bomb-y) ...i just reeally fell for GOOB. i could NOT, for the lif eof me, find any images from the internet so i came up with this number by looking at a little icon. it's not finished-- o well. it's not sooo bad, but it aint good either. but i think GOOB is still cute :)

FRIKA FRIKA FREESH!

Creative Writting

2007-10-04T22:48:00.000-07:00

We had to find one of our favorite pieces of writting...
After leaving my junior ap english class back in high school-- this is one of the things i ONLY remember.

From WALDEN (1854)

"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. The very simplicity and nakedness of man's life in the primitive ages imply this advantage, at least, that they left him still but a sojourner in nature. To be awake is to be alive. Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. Every man is a builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

3d principles-- ugh.

2007-09-22T21:43:00.000-07:00

no its not clay, though i wish it was. :)

its freekin 3d max.

beware of this program

and your eyes

BOG

2007-09-10T20:59:00.000-07:00

i was watching blades of glory.

then i made this.

i guess i should have one of these

2007-09-05T01:48:00.000-07:00

currently listening to my friends's beautiful voice while i try to get some rest-- this heat is not helping stop the tossing and turning. this apocalyptic change of weather pattern is NOT the business. i think the east and west can compromise. all that hurricane ovr there and the heat ovr here should cancel eachother out.

enough about the weather... i think ill try once again to get sum sleep. NO sudden movements is the trick, i hear. let's try.

to all the people out there in the world-- have a G nite.

-KACHAW!
