Just a Subtle Self Reminder...

You say emotion like its a bad thing...
Every few minutes I have to remind myself that I am actually in college. I find that college puts people in my age range of 18-21 in an interesting situation. In colorado 21 is around the age that you can do most things without being punished. So here I am in college at 19. I wouldn't say I am an average case and in all honesty this would require research that I am not willing to do yet, but I feel like there is some interesting patterns that have been formed in people with positions of authority. Eh I am sure there is something but I feel like a project like this would draw attention. Thanks  Tucker for the video (NSFW)...
Today I saw a sign for what I thought was foxes boxing... I was disapointed to find out it was foxy boxing. So many misleading signs around campus, it annoys me...
I wrote a comment on a whiteboard on a fridge I did approve of. Someone wrote a message on it and next to it I wrote. "Quick someone has confused a fridge as an efficeint means of communication!"
Anyway there is a massive amount of just emotion going around in college it is just some.

You'll never know how much it hurts to let you go...
The show is over it is time to go so leave me here...
Tied up to my acting post of being fake so you will never know how much it hurts to let you go every night...

Update 8: TechnoElectro... That sounds surprisingly cool...





T-t EcHno!
So let's get down to business to talk. I apologize for not posting more frequently but I got a job, and that has been taking a lot of time out of what I have been able to do. Sadly I don't have a lot of pieces but I do have several photos I am going to post and this update is going to be relatively short. I want to start with a story from my job where I work the cash register, I was reading the soup menu off to a customer and I got to one soup and after I said it the customer looked really hurt. Like I had unearthed some sort of traumatic event and she looked at her husband and whispered something into his ear and they left in a hurry. I don't know if I did something wrong but I feel like there was a genuinely deep story there. I really hope I didn't offend her though.




Anyway I have been also spending a lot of time on Twitch.tv which is a video game streaming network where the host a lot of tournaments. It is really worth checking out and I have a few people I would like you gamers who read this blog to check out but until I get their permission to get the traffic because that is the polite thing to do I don't want to post any names.
Lastly we have a series of pictures from inside a robotic car wash and butterfly bones! That's all I got guys sorry for the short post if you have any questions or requests hit em my way!
Cheers!

I like having low self esteem it makes me feel special...

Let me start of by saying it is 4/20:
To me that means...
- Day of Silence
- Hitlers Birthday
No weed. If you were expecting some puffing here you better just pass. First and foremost shout out to those of you who participated in the Day of Silence to support members of the LGBTQ I didn't because I just don't know how to keep my damn mouth shut. As long as I am yelling I want to bring some attention to a "Sergey Kondrashov." A Russian artist who in protesting against a new law in russia. If you want to support him remember to do your research I don't want complaints about how you ended up supporting something you are against that would be your problem not mine. Moving on we had a debate about which gender had more miserable existence. For some reason the person organizing this debate left the undecided side up which is always a bad thing and when it begun we could see guys on one side girls on the other. Me in the middle texting about how trivial the debate was. The guys argument was basically "girls don't know the pain of being kicked in the balls." Yeah seems legitimate. Lets put aside periods and child birth getting kicked in the balls will end your world. In all honesty though misery doesn't care about gender. Misery loves company and if I am not mistaken is also bi curious. So don't complain to me how hard your life is due to being a specific gender. Everybody has a hard time. Just the other day a friend of mine attempted suicide. He is alright though with a little help from his friends, and not the Beatles song. So before you open your mouth about inferior or superior gender remember that regardless of which EVERYBODY suffers from images they feel they need to maintain due to media and pop culture.

Speaking of suffering lets talk about self esteem. Actually lets just lower mine by posting videos of really good artists...
First up.
Being a boss with a pen! We have someone combining sharpie, pen, and spray paint. Using card stock and coming up with a beautiful piece. Although the music is a little harsh on the ears so headphone users turn it down. Yes you the one wearing headphones. I am calling you out!
Next on the list.
Food for Thought! Yeah I should stop being CORNY. Ha-ha... Oh god way to disgrace the family name on the internet. Eclectic Asylum has always been know for some insanely cool pictures so check it with a poison.
Finally *(WARNING NSFW)*
Pencil or Photograph?  Like I said this link is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. So open at your own discretion and more legal jargon. Anyway this artistic ninja recreates photos using pencil!
I know I said to expect TARANTULAS last time but in the mean time you will have to settle with this little snippet I found while walking around which I plan on doing something to.


Anyway...
Cheers!

Happy 13th! (a retroactive post about me saying shit I regret...)

So on the 13th since its my favorite day I was going to upload somethings and have a wonderful wonderful post. Yeah my computer got water on it and it died a horrible cruel death. Rest in piece Xerxes but you have been reborn. I know I know I am naming my stuff again but I like giving names to things I am attached to. Hell a good name personalizes something. Named my car Alma (who by the way reached the 25k mile mark!). But hell I got a moment so how about a quick little poem about me dying...


I would bake you a cake if I knew how...
For when I die let me plee
Don't hold onto my stuff
Hold onto my memories
From hell I really don't want to hear
Remember how he used to drink beer out of this comical cup with a corny catch phrase
Check out this shirt he wore from he weird middle age phase
Am I your last stop gift shop spot
Pickup a souveneir to remember the life that was lost?
No remember me for what I had brought...

Yeah... Things come and go, learned that the hard way when I set out to day with a half tank of gas and had to fuel up cause I was driving around with my friends. It was a lovely little adventure where we went to thrift stores and game shops to see if we could pickup an SNES well we could not. We did find a fair amount of stuff though, and the rain oh my god the rain was fun. Managed to take a 20 M.P.H turn at 50 so yeah. My bad Brundle and Clementine. Speaking of the man Clementine we had this quick little exchange at a gas station...

Clementine:You know normally I wouldn't mind blowing up but I'm in your car.




Vasectomy
Me: Don't worry I feel the same way about your girlfriend...
(P.S Yeah Sorry didn't realize you actually had a girl at the time look whose the biggest ass in the world now)



Yeah I feel bad for saying that but recently I have been noticing a slight change in my mindset towards the dark side. Either that or I am just noticing more stuff on the dark side like that picture next to the word picture. If you look carefully it talks about how vasectomy is the most effective birth control. Which I agree with that is true but that's also about as useful as this T-Pain Microphone I found at Toys R Us! I mean seriously I understand getting a vasectomy, but advertising it as birth control? No shit Sherlock what else could it be? More importantly why is there a golfer on there? Is this targeting tiger woods? The world may never know, but this was just the first of many pictures I took this lovely weekend and since I don't want to try and tie them in through effective writing I will leave them at the bottom HAHA!

-Cheers A.O
Oh expect tarantulas! 
Success is your book ending up at Goodwill
Yeah I got nothing for witty
Its pretty smexy!

Update Five:

Happy Pi Day! That is right Pi Day you know 3/14. Yeah I am a nerd respect it. So how are you guys it has been forever and a half... Sorry bout the long weight and I am not about to say the most recent work is absolutely mind blowing, I should really develop some sort of posting procedure. Procedures are great when they are used. Unfortunately I can't seem to do that recently... Really sucks. Well 8mg of pills ought to help me sleep. I hate saying that cause people make a big deal out of it but its not. Pills don't make me its the concept and content that make me. Anyway you know you play too much Plants Vs Zombies when you have all the achievments for it its pretty sad. I always find it disgusting how people judge other people. There is more for this post but I am falling asleeep! Its a day later so lets finish this up. Happy post pi day! Going to start out with a lovely conversation:

Me: has andropanda been in?
Auto: Haven't seen her, no.
Manticore: Same
Me: wonder where she went...
Manticore: Last thing she said to me was 2 days ago "DEADCOREISDEAD!"
Manticore: 2 hours later, she signed off.
Me: hmm but what does it mean? 

Something about this chat I just love, and it is the fact that its with some of my best friends ever. Yeah I swapped their names out at their request. Shout outs to them for being AWESOME, I mean seriously you guys are unreal. Yes andropanda is a name what of it? It has been so long and I feel like somehow there is still so little yet to say but in less then 10 Days I will be cruising. So that tis when the picture storm occurs. When I get back from the cruise. In the mean time I just need to wrap school up like a boss and get rocking and rolling. Once again suggestions to what I should post is always appreciated if anybody is still reading this blasted blog. Happy Saint Pattys Day weekend!
-Cheers

Update Four:


"Was this unbiased yes they are freaking circles man they can't lie..."
That was said in my math class. As much as I dislike school I can't say I really hate any of my teachers. That quote right there was from my math teacher who is a certified bad ass by the way and taught me an equation that when graphed creates a heart! If you want to give it a shot the equation is.
Y1=x^(2/3)- √(1-x^2)
Y2=x^(2/3)+ √(1-x^2)
Then shade Y1 and Y2.
This is my Valentines Day gift to you. As for the video to the right I recorded it in case you do not happen to have a calculator handy. By the way besides my Xfire videos this is my first original video content on the Internet and that is not saying much seeing how someone has already done this equation I am sure. Although now that I think about it I do have a few videos from my Halo years. (quick note those links will open in a new window)
Here is a video of some serious launching!
and
Here is a video of some serious "skill"!






I say skill because most people are going to roast me like its the Fourth of July for saying I have skill in a first person shooter. If that map didn't look familiar to many Halo players its because it was for Halo CE you know the original and good one? Anyway got a few pictures for you guys but no poetry. Either way I hope you guys had a fairly good weekend mine has just begun...
Cheers
-A.O






P.S Hope to update more regularly.

Update Two:

Pretty Blank:


Bob Ross's paint Brush

So looking at my blog I realize that I suck at grammar and that so far all of my posts that involved original content were in black and white. Which is unusual of me because I normally like bright pictures. With lots of shiny effects. Unfortunately as much as I wish I was as high caliber artist as say Bob Ross and his magical abilities to paint a black cat eating blue berries in a coal mine at midnight with just the color orange. That guy was just cool. He was a ninja. In the mean time my non-ninja forgetful self forgot to say that I also including digital art enjoy photography immensely. Art is something that even though I am not the best at I admit is one of the more beautiful ways to show emotion and photography is one of my preferred ones for illustrating the real world since free hand I am not the best in the world.
Cement Flowa
I have always had a basic philosophy with photography and that is its always a good time to take a picture but its not always the best angle. This was a philosophy grown on the back of my photography shenanigans being mostly done with film instead of digital. Each time I take a film picture, I lock my joints and hold my breathe not out of artistic style or to make it look really dramatic but because film is expensive. For that split moment even if my eye blends with machine perfectly to capture a moment in time, somebody at a store captures some more money from my wallet. I could say its the sacrifice of an artist, but when the reward is greater then the loss its not much of a sacrifice is it. Anyway I am going to toss up some pictures.
Roses
Cruise
Picture of a skate boarder

Cheers!

I didn't make these videos

But I do like them and no I don't believe in the delete button.
I don't feel like original content at 1:32 in the morning which is when this was drafted...


Shower:

Took a shower to start my day opened the door from my bathroom with a kick and the steam rolled out with it and for a brief second I felt like a bad ass until I looked in the mirror and saw I grabbed the pink towel....

Update One!

Its a BP oil spill Jellyfish.
We deliver:
As for what we deliver I am not quite sure but hey got to start somewhere so my first post is going to include a couple pictures and maybe some lines from my favorite piece. Little bit about why I do all these silly little pics. It all started when I got my first computer and didn't like any of the backgrounds I found. I mean any of them because I was a bratty little kid who thought deserved the world. When I realized how stupid of a way that was to think I decided why not try and making a background. How hard can it be? As a twitchy seven year old it was very hard but slowly I believe I have been getting better ever since; its either that or every time I ask for honest feedback people lie to me. Between then and now things have changed when it comes to making images. I went from paper to Microsoft paint, and finally way too many image editing programs to come up with something I feel looks good. 
I must apologize though for my highschool level writing abilities and so if I jump around a lot and my writing just doesn't make sense then blame public school systems and my lysdexia. Strangely enough when tested for lysdexia I had high reading scores, and my math was crap. Somehow out of it though  I manage to put together fairly decent spoken word/poetry. Frankly I can't tell the difference between both so I wont pick the term for you you can do that. Here is an excerpt piece I did I think Ill leave it at that for my first post in the mean time Happy Holidays!


What happened to the old TV?
You know where I loved you and you loved me
Where we were a happy family
And not people getting punched in the face on MTV
When facts roll most from comedy central
Where is the straight talk express
When all you are really doing is weaving around this mess?
Now hey I know I am only 18
With a slightly darker then normal complexion so people group me
With the cocaine snorting Charlie Sheen’s
But
I know I am different
Even if I am not the best
All this hate in the world though is truly what I detest
Trying to be the best of me
When the rest of people look at me and see something
Non-existent
Some people judge me for what I am not
And I know right now I am complaining because of what I don’t got
But please world leave me a message after the beep
Am I failing you world
Or are you failing me?
Do I need to stand stronger alone or rally people next to me? 
Who will listen to the calls even though it might not be destiny? 

I used to think the best of me would not be caught with poetry but on the scene of 93 could I expect the best of beats to be flowing from slam poetry, so I request that at best I be viewed with a smile and do not detest that where I plea and request where I take my liberty to speak, to address the poverty that riddles those around and close to me that you should not, mock me

Intro

This is a blog:

Be nice to the blog. This is a blog about me putting up things I think look good which, when you have ADHD is generally colorful shiny things. Little bit of "art" or my doodles and a bit of "poetry" or whatever I feel like saying in a way that has some rhythm. If you have any questions or comments feel free to send them my way. Feedback is always encouraged, and Happy Holidays!
