about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

So I was wrong

October 20, 2004

My current project in my ceramics class is a full sized self-portrait bust. At first, I wasn’t thrilled about the assignment. In fact, I was worse than “not thrilled.” I’ve been whining about the assignment for the past couple of weeks to anyone who will listen. I didn’t feel I had the necessary skills to pull it off. But I have to say that now that I’ve gotten started on the project, I’m starting to enjoy it. I don’t know if it will end up looking like me, but so far it looks human. I have the neck and shoulders finished. Next up, is the head. (We build in bands from the bottom up, so the head is the last thing we do.)

If I remember, I’ll try to get a couple of pictures of it next Monday in class.

    Does it have to be completely realistic? Or can it be one of those abstract dealies? Either way, it sounds very intimidating. I’ve always been interested in carving, and I have carved one sculpture. My next project is to carve a relief into an old headboard. Relief is easier for me to conceptualize, but I’ll go back to sculpture again at some point.

    It can be stylized, like some of the more expressive Greek faces were, but we must make a sincere effort to make it look like us. Either way, very intimidating.

    Whoops, that wasn’t deliberate. Anyway, I’d said something along the lines of…

    Don’t forget to take those photos Kerry! I’m intrigued to see this sculpture.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
