5 Book Covers

Haven’t gotten a grade for this yet… this is one of my 5 book covers I had to do in a week and then do corrections for. Sorry for the quality of the images, I’ve taken them with my cell phone, I’ll take better ones for my portfolio later. I’m just really pleased with this cover.

Although when I was trimming these, I accidentally somehow had sliced a little onto the cover itself and had to fix it with tape… so professional I know. lol at some point I’ll reprint it.

Anyway, a couple of the others have to be reprinted too (sigh) because some how some of the images got pixelated and one was completely not the right size.

I’ll post them all once they are all completed!

For a teaser here are the spines of most of the others:

Logo Colors

I got an A- on this logo. 🙂 But I still can’t figure out the colors for it. Not sure what to go for. The one below is what I’m currently using. I do like the thinner lines of the logo, but it doesn’t work so well now with the green/gold colors. I like green, but I feel like I’d get tired of it fast. Same with the blue… this is funny because I am all about color usually. The one below is what I turned in. I like it because its colors that I love and its also CMYK (the black would be the text) but most people in the critique said it would be too much going on. I don’t think so though…

I like the above colors as my business card but it didn’t really go well with the rest of the package.

Then the green/gold colors went well with everything else but not the business cards…. =/
So as of now I’m using the green/gold. The green/gold version looks really nice in black and white. 
I may end up just keeping it black and white.
I saw the below this morning … its a brand identity for La Sal Gallery. The name was chosen with help of numerology and the whole idea was to combine two distinct subjects: salt and jewelry into one strong idea. So the designers went with an alchemical theme. They kept it very sleek/corporate looking to keep the scientific feel of it…  But I just found it cool that the logo they came up with looked like it could be apart of mine! (source).

Mediterranean Pizza with Farmer’s Market Veggies

So on tuesday was the opening day of the Steelstacks farmer’s market in Bethlehem Pa. I went with my friend Jeni as we both loved farmer’s markets. Through IMPACT (on campus activities group) Moravian agreed to have FREE trips to this farmer’s market right in Bethlehem. This news made my week. I love farmer’s markets and I’ve been trying to eat healthier too with the market option I may just be able too… anyway so Jeni and I went at 4:30pm.

Since it was the opening day, unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of people there but this market has a lot of potential. They have a great variety of farmers’ goods from; eggs to beef (!!!) A couple of vegetable stands, apple stands (with cider!!) breads (with country bread), cheese (!!) and late summer + early harvest veggies.

I had a lot of mediterranean pizza over the summer and was craving some so I went to the market with the pizza in mind. I had a great success finding the veggies I needed. I actually had looked up the pizza I had at the restaurants’ website and they vaguely listed what was in it. The only two things I couldn’t get at the market were the olives and feta (which I got at the school snack market…).

Then today I went to the closest convenance store and bought baking supplies to make a no-yeast pizza dough. I used this recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/pizza-dough-with-no-yeast-84987 and it was brilliant! Since there was no yeast, the crust is more like a hard crust rather than a soft crust. Which ended up fine because if there was a soft crust, I think the topping would’ve fallen off.

I chopped up the veggies and did a quick stir fry in vegetable oil and oregano. Once I had put the dough on the pan, I oiled the top (probs unnecessary) and grated oregano cheese I had gotten at the market. I did a simple stir fry of oregano and vegetable oil with the basil, tomato, cucumber and red onion. I then put the cooked veggies on the pizza and put the feta and olives on top and grated more cheese on top. I then put it in the oven at 425 degrees for 20-25 mins (or until the feta turned a little brown on top). So delicious! Although, next time I think I might add a spice, not sure what spice to use.

Cooking makes me nervous cause I always seem to mess up the simplest steps, but I just winged this using a no-yeast pizza dough and a stir fry I found on line.

Logo

This is where my personal logo is headed. Before there were a lot of comments on making it less blocky… one idea was to make one “K” more distinct but with this particular design that idea ended up breaking up the unity this one has. Also it does not matter if you cannot tell that it was made out of a ‘k’ that’s the element of surprise, or mystery that I’d rather keep. 
I used the bevel and emboss filters for this and I think it works. My prof liked this one a lot better and I do too. So I think I’m gonna scrap the CMYK idea. CMYK colors are hard to work with because there are four of them. There’s basically only two colors here; the sage green and the gold color.

Brain Coherence

So while I was researching for next project; creating 5 book covers due next wednesday. I’m doing a book cover based on Design Aesthetic Philosophy (or design philosophy, basically what I write about).  I came across a philosopher whom I haven’t heard of; Prof. Arnold Keyserling. He was all about brain coherence and the grammar of the brain. To me, Graphic Design is thinking made visual… that’s the definition I go by (while I realize GD has many definitions this is one I found that is most appropriate). I found his use of the enneagram; the nine-pointed star very interesting. 

Keyserling discovered that the structure of our brain molds our speech, and our speech in turn shapes our mind.  He found that the basic patterns of our mind and coherence are tied to language, and all are tied to the Enneagram and The Wheel.  The essential criteria of our mind can be reduced to the three space-like realms of language combined with the four time-like functions.   These are the basic components of The Wheel.

Logo

The “philosophy of a lightbeam” concept logo turned out to be not everyone’s favorites. There was too much going on. I also realized its not as ‘original’ as the first logo concept I had. 
Here is the modified one in black and white:
I really like how the positive and negative space interacts with one another in the logo and how it still has a great sense of unity. There are also other similar elements from the “philosophy of a lightbeam” concept in this one too. But still having issues where to put “kglyphics”.  Hmm.

Fundamental Thinking; Reality as a Design

While I take a break from my logo that is apparently due next wednesday not a week from next wednesday (ugh) I’m going to write some reflections based on my thoughts about the whole 2012 fiasco.

 

I’m not going to go into ‘conspiracy theory’ all too much but I am going to interpret this significant date according to what I have studied based on design theory and philosophy. Yes.

 

Its going to be so simple it’ll blow your mind away…

 

All of these thoughts have been cooped up in my head since the release of the 2009 movie, 2012 (which I never saw). In my opinion all these theoretical physicists that talk about 2012 are only getting half of it right and most of it is just BS.

 

And so we begin —

 

In my mind, this reality is a design. And to understand design we must define it. The definition of Design means to intensify an already existing message. If reality is a design, reality must have a message. Design, all types of design, contain a set group of principles that can be applied to -all- design disciplines. Principles such as; unity, contrast, balance, movement, proportion, emphasis, and finally space. But how can the designer apply these principles to Nature (the physical and spiritual)? Very Simply.

 

The designer must understand the timeless commandment, “And so above and so below and so below, as above.” When this is completely accepted and understood it can be transformative. In order to understand the Universe, which I define as One Song (Uni = one, verse = song), we need to understand what it means to be ONE; to be unified, to be unified does not mean to be civilized. In order to be one, we must be divided, and in order to be divided we must be one.

 

“But that’s contradictory,” you say.

 

Exactly. The second principle of the universe (or design) is contrast, otherwise known as dualism. Like I said earlier; in order to be one, we must be divided, and in order to be divided we must be one. 1 cannot exist without 2 since 2 contains opposing (but sometimes attracting) polarities. These opposing polarities when attracted to each other they become a part of the whole. For example, in a work of art, there is often positive space and negative space that make up the whole composition and make it unified.

 

After reading about how there are only two emotions in existence: fear and love and reading about how energy is consistent and essentially all energy is the same, I had conjured up this equation:
[A+ B-] / [b- a+]
Where [A+ B-] refers to everything in the macro universe and [b- a+] refers to everything in the micro universe. The midsection indicated as ‘ / ’ is where everything commingles.  This equation can be applied to pretty much everything and thus got its name, “The Equation of Life”.
[A+ B-] / [b- a+]
can also be written as:
space-time [A+] time-space [B-] / time-space[b-] space-time [a+]
Dark [A+] Light [B-] / light[b-] dark [a+]
Space-time has these characteristics: positive, balls (particles), illusions, dark physicality
Time-space has these characteristics: negative, waves, light and consciousness (infinity).
The dark side [space-time]is visible, charming and appealing, just showing the beauty of the visible universe, only 4% of the universal mass.
The light side [time-space] is harmony. It conducts the nuclear dance of both visible and invisible universes; it is the only force that links them all. It is provoking an invisible alchemy.
So physical reality, the explosive world, would be characterized as [A+ B-]
The spiritual reality, the implosive world, would be characterized as [b- a+]
 
So let’s consider this equation, that was written to help us visualize this world, and apply it to the end of the world scenario.
First, before we continue, lets discuss movement as that is the next principle of design. The artistic definition of movement is; the arrangement of parts that draws the eye through the composition.
However, to better understand movement as a design principle lets put an addendum; Movement or motion creates the illusion of time and therefore change. The Law of Motion changes not, but all things change in motionFor motion is the force that holds events separate, each in its own proper place.
To put it simply; if we stop time… we end motion, which creates the illusion of time and thus we will propel ourselves into infinity and beyond…

British philosopher, Aleister Crowley stated clearly,  “Man will no longer worship God as an external factor, as in Paganism, or as an internal state of consciousness, as in Christianity, but will realize his identity with God.” Thusly, the end of the world scenario is the end of the dualistic approach to life. The end of the human frontier… because once we become ONE with ‘God’ we will be unified.

 

You exist, but at the same time you do not.
You’re awake, but at the same time you are not.
God is man. While at the same time Man is God.

 

So what’s the end of duality? The beginning of infinity, of unity, or a complete composition. Instead of a reality containing of harmonic proportions created by duality we will have a monochord, one vibration that will vibrate within all of us.

 

(to be continued)

 

Its been awhile since I last thought about this blog post, but almost a year later I had a similar conversation with a — er colleague — of mine who studies light, sound and form as well. While procrastinating packing my dorm room up, I ran across an alternative science database that I haven’t found before and this article. The article focused on the age-old idea that the earth is flat. I have had written ideas before suggesting that the earth/universe could indeed be flat: Holographic Reality and the World is Flat and the Universe is Flat. Apparently there are a few people out there that still believe that the world is flat.

 

We got into an interesting discussion about the possibility of the Earth being flat and how it could possibly function as a flat surface.
I posted this link onto my colleague’s facebook wall and the conversation began like this:
She commented jokingly, “All photographs of Earth from space are taken with FISH EYE LENSES to TRICK US!!!” 
In all seriousness, I then asked, “No, seriously have you thought about it though?

She responded, “About a flat Earth? Not with my understanding of physics, which may or may not be faulty. But the Sun is visibly spherical, the moon is spherical, and the planets I’ve seen through a telescope also have the same light shading as a sphere rather than a disc. I wouldn’t consider the Earth to be a special case.

Expanding Earth, that I’ve considered. “

But isn’t there always a dual option though in this world? What’s the opposite of spherical? Flat. If everything is an illusion in this manifest world, things that would appear flat, would be spherical and vice versa, theoretically,” I insisted.
 
She then replied, “I don’t really believe the world operates on duality as much as a refracted spectrum of plurality. We could divide numbers as even or odds, but we could also differentiate by multiples of three or fives. I feel it has much more to do with perspective than duality. All illusions are equally false.
And then added, “Can we count a Mobius strip as being flat?
It looks like its technically a spiral, so yes,” I answered.
Continuing, she said, “I don’t know if there’s physical evidence to support this, but I still think of the universe as expanding from a central point and collapsing back into itself when its expansion is no longer enough to overcome its gravity.
Yes. I’ve seen that in Tibetan art,” I said confidently. 
Then I asked, “what if our eyes are natural fish eye lenses?
She answered, “That’s still assuming physical matter is actual rather than perceptual. But we could also be light, shining onto inert information and perceiving it as experience…
I then asked, “Light shining upon light equals what?   
Experience,” she said simply.
Then she added, “We could equate light with attention, as we equate darkness with the unseen. There has to be an interaction of some sort for there to be anything to experience.”   
A world between worlds,” I said.
 Then she asked, “If we perceive no opposition, interference, interaction, can we perceive otherness or plurality?
Are we built to do that? I don’t think so, if we could, there would be no division,” I responded.
Light absorption,” I then added.
 “That would be the point where illusion refracts as a distortion of reality. We can take a flat sheet of paper and pinch it somewhere, perceiving it as something other than paper, just because it has an apparent shape other than that which surrounds it. It’s still the same thing though,” she responded.
Exactly,” I said.
Then I added, “If we are beings of light, entering a world of light — a different kind of light — we would distort that reality because the present reality of who we are is already light … the distorted reality is the reality we perceive to be real, as in the world we exist in now.

Continuing, she said, “Holographic apparitions rather than solid, actually separate entities. Perhaps this is why dimensions intersect each other at 90 degree angles. It’s just us coming back on ourselves in new ways to experience multiplicity.

So particles are twists of space-time… “  

Intersections of light. And! If absolute zero is no vibratory motion of any particle, it’s because there is no interaction. It would be uninterrupted flatness,” she added.
 “Ah ha! Flat,” I exclaimed.
  
Then she asked, “We can extend on forever uninterrupted, but projecting requires an other to bounce off of. 0D as a source?” She laughed.
 
Laughing with her, I responded, “0D would be light though, it has to be.
Thinking out loud, I said, but things can’t bounce off if there is no density to it…
It’s pretty awesome that we had the same thought train about interrupted light and projections,” she said.
Then she asked, “But what -is- light? Consciousness? Beingness? That Which Is or the attention thereof? We seemingly innately equate it with positivity. So that which we see is light and that which we refuse to attend to is dark? I feel like the metaphor works in a literal way, I’m just not sure how.
Oh shiny!!” I exclaimed.
Actually, I think “oh shiny” may be the answer to your question,” I added.
Pondering, she asked, “How does the light in a holograph work? Bounced off of a reflection?
What happens when physical light reflects off a metallic surface? It catches our attention, because  we somehow can relate to it, for whatever reason,” I said.
Continuing, she said, “That is precisely why, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more interested in sparkly sorts of things. Every living thing flourishes with light, and many animals instinctively collect shinies.

Finishing the conversation, I said, “By the way… spirals as expressions of light intersecting with each other? perhaps why they appear -everywhere- in nature?

Brand Identity Research

So I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on brands and identities and found a lot of great examples on Designspiration.net  and Deviantart.com…  I even have a comp going.. and now am looking for ways to incorporate the text while keeping the unity and balance it currently has.

I’m basing it off the ‘philosophical geometry of a light beam’.
But instead of making it a rainbow I’m making it CMYK and leaving a few things out…
I’m now looking at “Seal Logos” to see how I can better incorporate the text; “K Glyphics”. 
The logo now has a great sense of unity and balance and I want to preserve that.  
Not sure how ancient this will look at the end, but I like the direction that it is going in.
Logos I found that are similar to mine…
The following brand identity has been a big inspiration for mine. Its Pentagram’s NYU Abu Dhabi brand identity.
Here’s what the current comp may look like on a business card:

Bad drama is bad

(for those who aren’t aware of EVP and RS this may seem confusing and this post is in general for my purposes only)

I’m gonna stop research for awhile.
I was in a really bad internet drama over the weekend and its made me rethink some things.
I was officially banned from the EVP and RS forum because of posting a prediction of the future done by Aleister Crowley and mentioning Aleister Crowley. WHO is a philosopher by the way and not a satanist. The church declared him one… he may have dabbled in black arts, but he was more of a philosopher than anything else.

I posted the following:

“In the Aeon of Horus the dualistic approach to religion will be transcended through the abolition of the present notion of a God external to oneself. The two will be united. “Man will no longer worship God as an external factor, as in Paganism, or as an internal state of consciousness, as in Christianity, but will realize his identity with God.” The new Aeon of Horus, based on the union of the male and female polarities, will involve the magical use of semen and ecstasy, culminating in an apotheosis of matter – “in the realization of the old Gnostic notion that matter is not dual but one with the Spirit” — symbolized by the androgynous Baphomet of the Templars and the Illuminati.”

Basically with RS and EVP they claim that they know what’s happening behind the veil (yes in the spirit world). So they believe they are basically speaking to spirits, and such who give them information based on the current situation on earth, and why we are here, etc. and that this information comes from the Universal Mind/God. They basically would take a current event, reverse it and analyze it. I have done a fair share of RSing and do respect its ideals and how its used. And its also been scientifically documented as a true phenomena as well (they don’t say that its from the Universal Mind/God but they do state that RS is a legitimate phenomena of speech, that when we reversed recorded speech there will be phrases and recognizable things that we do not hear in forward speech).

And they claim that the apocalypse will be an apotheosis which will reunite man with god as one entity, making man apart of god.

However, the way the forum was administered pissed me off.

First, I’d post lots of work regarding my reversals, mixing some mysticism, and my own interpretations in them. And then I wouldn’t get any responses for days on end on my posts from the community and the community would get upset because I just wanted a little feedback/acknowledgement for the work I did, otherwise the way I saw it, why bother doing it if no one is appreciating it??

Secondly, I don’t care whether something appears good or evil as I don’t personally believe that good and evil exist. I upset a lot of members when I said the Reptillians, the ones who’ve been causing much of the war and pain here on earth, I said that the Reptillians weren’t evil.. because I don’t believe in good and evil because in order to be “united” you need Dualism… yes I did just contradict myself, but that’s Dualism in action… Its just my way of accepting similarities and differences. Most of the members disagreed with me… they said they were the Epitome of Evil. That they should express hate towards them. I said that in order to heal and move on we should accept the Reptillians for what they’ve done and forgive them. Sure they’ve tortured us and done everything they could possibly think of to make our lives terrible and a nightmare to live in. But… producing hate, and expressing it towards any entity doesn’t do anything or anyone good. It won’t help us heal at all.

That was the first time I think I really affected my reputation there…

In general the mod that banned me said that I was bringing up old drama and BS that they covered a long time ago… well I’m sorry, I don’t have time to read the 500 page + archive. Please point me in the right direction where those Reversals are listed, I’ll be happy to read them. They never did.

They also said that I appeared “lonely and unstable” in my posts and that my posts made a lot of the members uncomfortable. I apparently also brought stress and other unnecessary behind-the-scene drama that they apparently didn’t want to deal with anymore.

I apparently offended the mod who banned me so much that she continued to make assumptions about how I spoke to her in emails.

I may have cussed twice at her because I was upset.
I may have not used proper grammar because I was upset.
And through this she assumed that I:
-Smoked (I don’t, I have respiratory problems)
-Took medication (I dont)
and assumed a lot of other things that I obviously don’t do just because I didn’t use proper grammar and posted BS about our so-called ancient past and such and that I didn’t seem to take a hint (well if I’m making a mistake perhaps you should tell me?).

I had only been there for three-four months and that’s a relatively new member… to that forum at least

I don’t have access to the messages anymore but the way she wrote and treated me in her messages was absolutely disgusting.

I had never been hurt so much by someone from the internet. I usually don’t CARE if I get into internet drama. But if it gets personal like this one did, then it starts to hurt.

Because my research is relatively close to me and its something I enjoy doing when I have the time.

That’s why I came to EVP and RS because it reflected my research really well.
Well, I guess this is an end of an era… a very short era. I probably won’t be doing much RSing now, just because I don’t have a community that will look at the work that I’ve done. But now I do have their insight about the physical world and our purpose here. That’s something to take away, definitely.

In my opinion, I have done nothing wrong. The actions of the administrator was unjust and made me completely loose faith in RS and EVP (or at least the information that was being offered, not the phenomena itself).

It just saddens me that it had to end like this.

But its made me rethink my research a bit.
It seems lately, all I’ve been doing is offending people.
Which isn’t getting anywhere with my mission in trying to enlighten people.
I understand that truth is often denied first before it is accepted. But this is getting ridiculous.

I’m pretty much over it now. But a lot of the hurt I think I’ve been experiencing is from shock.

O, to become a Star

Every little girl (and boy) dreams of becoming a star. To be in the spotlight, to be famous and known for your talent(s) and to be recognized; to have fame and a huge fortune. This all sounds great, especially for life in the physical world. Has it occurred to anyone, however, that the famous are actually a ‘top’ secret club that is extremely sinister on the inside? Has it ever occurred to you that some of the humanitarian songs and activities that the celebrities do is just for show? To hide the REAL person? Duality is something that everyone should take seriously into consideration; you’ll learn that when something SEEMS positive on the outside, may actually be extremely sinister on the inside. Its also called the concept of balance, the asymmetrical built of the Universe… and the best example of all of this is the Sirius constellation.

May 23, 2011 I wrote about the connection of the Sirius mystery to Human history. Which goes into detail about the symbolism regarding this star and its appearance in our society. The biggest piece of information to be learnt about this constellation is that it contains a companion star, Sirius Star A and Sirius Star B:

The triangle is a highly symbolic symbol in today’s society and the Sirius Star located around it/in the middle may in fact be the origin of the “All-Seeing Eye” or the Eye of Horus:

On the US seal, the Eye is surrounded by the words Annuit Cœptis, meaning “He approves (or has approved) [our] undertakings”, and Novus Ordo Seclorum, meaning “New Order of the Ages”. The Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid with thirteen steps, representing the original thirteen states and the future growth of the country. The lowest level of the pyramid shows the year 1776 in Roman numerals. The combined implication is that the Eye, or God, favors the prosperity of the United States. Novus Ordo Seclorum is actually from a prophecy.

“Novus Ordo Seclorum is a quotation from the 4th Ecolque and was borrowed in turn by Virgil from the mystic Sibylline records.” – Charles A.L. Totten ‎

“A mighty order of ages is born anew. Both the prophetic Virgin and Saturnian kingdoms now return. Now a new progeny is let down from the lofty heavens… The Boy soon to be born in whom the iron age shall come to an end, and the golden one shall arise again in the whole earth.” ‎

“Whatso tracks remain of our old wickedness, once done away, shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear. He shall receive the life of gods, and see heroes with gods commingling, and himself be seen of them.”

“And with his father’s worth reign o’er a world at peace.”

The Age of Horus was predicted by Aleister Crowley, an occult practitioner, who had been extremely influential to the music industry:

 

the Aeon of Horus the dualistic approach to religion will be transcended through the abolition of the present notion of a God external to oneself. The two will be united. “Man will no longer worship God as an external factor, as in Paganism, or as an internal state of consciousness, as in Christianity, but will realize his identity with God.” The new Aeon of Horus, based on the union of the male and female polarities, will involve the magical use of semen and ecstasy, culminating in an apotheosis of matter – “in the realization of the old Gnostic notion that matter is not dual but one with the Spirit” — symbolized by the androgynous Baphomet of the Templars and the Illuminati.

My thoughts of the Illuminati and BS that’s been going around: I understand why everything about them seems mysterious, wrong, and sinister. Just plain evil, etc. But how can we assume that they are? What if they created that image of themselves just to deceive us even more? You can’t be certain that this group is evil… just because they are doing things out of the norm they aren’t evil. What if they are preparing us for the BIG event that will happen in the future? What if they will become our teachers?

Just because the Illuminati make themselves appear evil because they are breaking down our society as we know it to form a One World Government…  doesn’t mean they are. We are used to the current world and anyone going against it is deemed “evil”…

No one is certain that they are evil, and yes sometimes the imagery and symbolism may be evil, but like all Duality, whatever appears EVIL may actually be GOOD and whatever APPEARS to be GOOD may actually be EVIL.

Duality is huge in my life, my clairvoyance is based off of it… like whatever appears in my mind as the total and final outcome of something… it ends up as the complete opposite even if my gut and intuition says so…

Like for example, over the summer I was trying to take out the air conditioner at my summer house and it fell out of the window. I got injured pretty badly, and didn’t even notice until I was outside. I was balling my eyes out and all I could think of was the air conditioner on the ground in pieces… but as soon as I turned around the corner, it wasn’t. It was lying a on pile of dead leaves, protected.

Just because something goes through your mind and that you are absolutely sure of it, doesn’t mean that it is true. Just because the symbolisms that we see in society may be evil, their Ultimate meanings may actually not be what we think they are.

“Had! The manifestation of Nuit.

The unveiling of the company of heaven.

Every man and woman is a star.

Every number is infinite; there is no difference.

Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men!”

 

 – The opening lines of the Book of the Law

I do beLIEve that evil exists but at the same time (a big surprise here) I don’t. Because of the concept of Duality…. in order to be ONE you need TWO.

Jesus said in the Gospel of Thomas; “On the day when you were oneyou became two. But when you become two, what will you do?”

School Begins

First party of the year last night. Went really well… my first ‘party’ that I hosted too. People came and went and then some stayed. There wasn’t a whole lot, but there was definitely a crowd of people. We definitely had enough to last the entire night. Was a long night for me though. At 5:30 pm I went up to the North campus and had dinner with some people and then a few of us left to get the booze and juices. And the night ended at 2:30 am… and probably went to bed around 4 am. Its okay though I slept late that day. Ended up with two cases of lion’s head and a handle of Rum. Also bought a medium sized bottle of Raspberry smirnoff for my room. Why am I obsessed with Raspberry flavor?! It was a good turn out for a last minute party I think. Wish I could have figured out music somehow. But the last time I let people share my stuff it was stolen, so I’m not letting anyone share anything anymore. I definitely saw most the people I wanted to see that I hadn’t seen in a long time. This first week went well too. Still can’t really get over that my two design profs that know me really well, suddenly decided to leave campus my senior year. So the one that they replaced doesn’t know me or my work at all. Kind of important that your design profs that you’ve had all the time and would have had senior year know you… Its just hard to get over cause I liked them both a lot and it was for certain that they’d both be teaching at registration until the summer and it all changed… =/ Shit happens I guess. The current song I’m obsessing over is “Gucci Gucci” by Kreayshawn. I usually don’t listen to a lot of rap. But I like the sound of this song.
