Common Sense


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain
Why the early bird gets the worm
Life isn’t always fair,

and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home without the burglar suing you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights; I Want It Now; Someone Else Is To Blame; and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Truer words have never been typed.

AND MY BUTT HURTS *sitting on the floor*




Phew what a day, not only did I spend all morning at school but I also spent all afternoon and evening at work. And here I am now, sitting in my living room, sitting on two blankets and a pillow in my PJ's, surrounded by all my art supplies/drawings/sketchbooks and typing on my laptop that's resting on the couch.


My Digital portfolio is due tomorrow and I STILL need to get.....ten drawings done.


It's ten till two, AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH and I gotta wake up at nine later for my math class, I do not know if i'm gonna finish this tonight and have it look decent.


I shouldn't be typing this, I should be drawing a Value distribution: simple composition creating emphasis on one subject matter by using a relatively small amount of contrasting value.

I think I need a soda.

(813): Never eat 3 McGriddles and drink a carton of milk. It's like you're successfully killing self but you're alive.

*****

(201): zippers are such a cool invention

*****

(915): so she asked me if I thought she was fat and naturally I said no..... but I think she might catch on
(1-915): who is she? I really hope you have an explanation cause either you think I'm fat or you're cheating on me

*****

(248): My new sobriety test is "how many times do I have to attempt to put toothpaste on my brush"... It takes a while.

*****

(401): Listen, I'm 30. If it doesnt involve a super soaker and some chicken wings, you can count me out.
*****

(319): The karaoke bar doesnt have electric avenue. Ill just have to pick another song and sing the lyrics to electric avenue

*****

(910): Sometimes when i'm at a cross roads in life, i think about what i would want my lifetime movie to show what i did

****

(303): We have to go find her fucking car. She came home from a 80 dollar cab ride, no shoes, and all she remembers is its at a burger king on a street with an H in it

*****

*****

(480): Then you jumped off your bed with your arms outstretched, yelled "I'm Goliath, watch out New York!" and then began singing the Gargoyles theme song as you 'soared' around your room.
(1-480): Don't be ridiculous, the Gargoyles theme song has no words. How could I sing that mess?
(480): You just started going "da da da da da! da da da da da! DA DA!!" then going "swoosh" as you glided about.

lol actually my first reaction was FUCK I KNEW I WASN'T GONNA MAKE IT WHHHHHYYY!?


But it was odvious that I wasn't gonna make it in, I mean my last pages were crap and done literily hours before the deadline. It was my own fault since I completely forgot about it over the summer and didn't start drawing the pages starting from Page 3 till bout the end of Augest.


So no crying and complaing for me, my own bloody fault.


I will say this however, I am kinda glad I didn't make it in. I lost touch with Lalo and the others over the summer and had just barely rekindled our relationship like two weeks ago. So my story and emotion for them was lost.


But they will not dissapear, if time serves me right you will be seeing them again.


Also I might be out of the OCT circuit for awhile, four denied auditions is kinda harsh on the heart, so i'll be taking a break.



.....maybe.
