I thought I had already uploaded this image but, I couldn’t find it. I took it in Dec., 2008 in Huntsville, Alabama at the rocket center. I remember when I first started college working at Lockheed Aircraft in Burbank, Calif. Interesting experience to say the least. I certainly never envisioned myself in the place I am right now. I was actually still living at home with my parents, but when I did move out I felt only a small change in my life. Well, that’s probably not true. I would never have sex in my parents house.

How ya like me now?

“Are You For Real?”

// January 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // Blog

In the category of, “Are You For Real?” On CNN Entertainment I read the below statement. Many people are having thoughts of suicide because of Avatar? Huh? What movie anywhere is going to have that kind of effect? Are these people that weak minded?

“Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “

(more added after my original posting…)

Ivar Hill posts to the “Avatar” forum page under the name Eltu. He wrote about his post-”Avatar” depression after he first saw the film earlier this month.

“When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed … gray. It was like my whole life, everything I’ve done and worked for, lost its meaning,” Hill wrote on the forum. “It just seems so … meaningless. I still don’t really see any reason to keep … doing things at all. I live in a dying world.”

Reached via e-mail in Sweden where he is studying game design, Hill, 17, explained that his feelings of despair made him desperately want to escape reality.

Brrrrrr!

Jan/Feb are Florida’s coolest months but this has been downright cold even without reaching the freezing point. Brrrrrr.

Wow, Precious (the movie) was hard, tragic, and so complex in terms of how the characters had to deal with their lives. Powerful performances all around.

Kenneth Noland, 85; abstract painter, a founder of Washington Color School

Last night while walking through MIA-ARTFAIR I stopped to examine some designer carpets, one designed by Kenneth Noland. It brought to mind his brand of lean abstraction in painting. I hadn’t see his carpets before but as a textile designed artifact, it was very nice and wouldn’t overpower furniture or paintings in a room.

Kenneth Noland, 85; abstract painter, a founder of Washington Color School:

“Kenneth Noland, an influential abstract painter who was a founder of the Washington Color School of painting, the only major development in 20th-century art to originate in the District, died Jan. 5 of kidney cancer at his home in Port Clyde, Maine. He was 85.”

Brownie

// January 7th, 2010 // No Comments » // Blog

Last night I stopped by Ghiradelli’s chocolate store on Lincoln Rd. (Miami Beach). I took a chance on a brownie, but didn’t actually like it that much. I prefer cake-like brownies, not gooey, wet brownies. I also bought a hot chocolate, which I haven’t had in a long time.
