"Are you going home in the summer to work on the family farm? We didn't think so. Back in the day when our nation's economy centered on farming food instead of data, it was really important that sons and daughters came home for the summer so they could help their families bring in the harvest. Funny thing is that the old-fashioned farming-based academic calendar that takes 4 (or even 5) years to get a diploma is still the way most colleges do things.

We know you want to become a cutting edge digital artist or producer, not a soybean farmer, so we've taken the breaks out (and the brakes off) of your learning. That means you'll have your Bachelor's degree in about 2.5 years (or about 2 years if you already have enough general education credits from another college.) You didn't really want to spend your summers flipping burgers anyway, did ya? We didn't think so.

Your education needs to keep up with the break-neck speed of the industry you want to work in, or you'll end up left behind before you even graduate. You'll be in classes and labs 5 days a week, 8 or 9 hours a day. You won't have summers off but of course there's some vacation time in there so you'll still know the names of your family members and friends.

Your transformation from student to producer, animator, designer, or engineer begins the moment you walk in the door. You'll graduate at the speed of sound (or animation or digital effects) with the skills and connections you need to rocket your way to the top."

so, what do you think? should i?!

show yourself!!

j/k. but shoot me an email or something. afterall, you can trust me...

Shout

Shout
Let it all out
These are things I can do without
Come On
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout
They gave you life
And in return you gave them them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout

take a step

Being who you want to be takes risk, takes a leap of faith even. In a perfect world, there would be no judgement on our decisions or our intentions, but unfortunately there will be- either way. Its a true test of character, for you and everyone around you, when you take that first step, but its worth it.

trust

trust:believing in the honesty and reliability of others

what makes you think you can trust me? by "knowing" me? by seeing my actions, and being able to judge decisions i'll make in the future based on how i have made decisions in the past? do the decisions i've made have anything to do with what i wanted to do? what if i just wanted to remain a trustworthy person? would you trust me if i made decisions differently? if i decided to do what i wanted to do, rather than what i should do? do you base trust off of what a person wants to do? or what they end up doing?

it seems that i have a lot of questions. never really any answers. something i know is that this is my life, and i know that i'm not who i want to be.

i want to be trustworthy. i want to trust myself. i want want my desires to be the same as the "right thing."

that image of superman is on my desktop. i think i put it there because it's not one of the normal images of superman that you see. normally he looks strong, or is breaking through chains, or fighting a villain. in this image, you can tell he's thinking. i believe he's thinking about how he wants more than anything to be normal. he wants a relationship with louis lane, and wants to get hurt, he wants to bleed. he's tired of being strong, and the hero, and representing what's "right." but he knows that's a fantasy because people need him. they trust him. i think that when he hears someone scream, he wants to look to the sky and see someone else swoop down and save the family from the burning car. but he knows that that family is depending on him. he knows that he is their only chance. yet again he chooses to do what he *should* do and not what he truly *wants* to do.

i don't know where i'm going with this, except that i wanted to say that i don't always make the right decisions. in fact, i often make the wrong ones. but duh, who doesn't? i don't know. i guess i'm just really hard on myself. i should rename this blog "n8's pity party"

peace, i'm out.
