I’m Back Again…

And this time for good, God’s willing. I’m sorry for the super long hiatus. I just couldn’t blog while I had all those deadlines for college and what not. But guess what! I’m finished! I’m done! My last class was on Friday and now I’m home free. I uploaded some work I did in school, so that you guys know I wasn’t just fooling around and being lazy.

Well that’s just a LITTLE bit of the work I had to do. But in my opinion I chose the best looking pieces so you’re not missing much else. I also had a Digital Layout class but it would be too much to upload the work and you guys see enough of my Digital work anyways. Adding my English and Math Class you can see that i had a total of 8 classes this semester. Bananas right? It’s pretty rewarding though seeing the fruits of your labor. I won’t let next semester be an excuse for not keeping up the blog tho. I’ll keep it up for sure! Anyways I hope you enjoy the blog vomit for the next couple of days.

Hats off to you!

One thing I love about F.I.T. (or maybe its just all colleges in general) is the fact that you can wear hats inside the building. Finally, if I’m having a bad hair day, i can just leave my hat on all day, and not be bothered by a teacher. Totally different from the highschool life, which tries to mimic a totalitarian government. I must say, even tho I sometimes complain about the F.I.T. workload, in-class is pretty great. You get to listen to music while working, socialize with your friends, go grab a quick bite if u get the munchies, but I’m seriously glad about the hat thing. Go F.I.T.!

I love English Class

I get to use my laptop, and go online and wat not. Though my english teacher said we’re only allowed to use the school website on our laptops lol. I feel pretty awkward in this class, for one, I’m the only male in the class. Yup, 1 in a class of about.. 17 girls. Our class is in the shape of a circle, and last week I was kind of sitting in the middle.. so awkward. Not only that, I’m the only one without a mac. So I stick out alot with my regular ole lappy. My teacher is telling us about an assignment in which we have to do a profile, about a person, either observing or maybe talking to them also. Or an activity. Apparantly a girl in one of her past classes did the life of a stripper, and she actually went to a strip joint, auditioned, got the job, and then performed. And wrote a great paper at that. That’s crazy! I don’t know what to do though, give me some ideas!

“2 MCchickens and a Hi-C please.. no ice”

Is what I say for lunch now. Now I know Burger King was my spot and I bragged about it and stuff, but omgosh! One Friday afternoon, I decided to explore the other side of FIT and right there across the street was a Mcdonalds! Now I wasn’t too amused, I know already that there are NO Mcdonalds in Manhattan. with a $ menu. But my goodness, I walk in, and right there, smack dab in the right of the menu, is a dollar menu! It was like they didn’t get the memo about no dollar menus in Manhattan, or they transported themselves from Brooklyn. Not only that, they have the Mcchicken on the dollar menu! That can be hard to find in Brooklyn sometimes. So forget walking all the way to Korea town to Burger King! I just gotta walk right across the street to get my $3.24 lunch on! The lady already knows me. Today I forgot to say no ice and instead I said “2 Mcchickens and a small Hi-C please” and then she said. “No Ice?” and then I said “Oh, yeah no ice” That lady is great. I would tip her, but I don’t think that’s allowed in Mcdonalds.

Blog Vomit Pt.1

I feel good! Oh man, I’m cruising. Last week, FIT was making me feel pretty down in the dumps, and inadequate, but now, I feel great. I’m finally getting accustomed to the college workload. I think it’s because, today was the first day I got to use my locker. Now, I don’t have to lug around my portfolio case during my breaks, I can walk around FIT or Korea Town with the weight off my shoulders. Also, today was the first day I did work listening to music. My goodness, I totally sped through my projects. I was able to the the class work and the homework. There was an hour left in the period and the teacher told me I can relax but I kept going. Now I feel like I’m ahead of the game and that I have some breathing room. I still have one more class to go but its Math for just an hour, that class is real easy going. I’m feeling real good about. AH! God is great. This song is for You!

This song is great. It’s called “I Need you” by tye Tribbett a gospel artist. I think my Asian Christian friends will like it too. It has like a hillsongish contemporary feel to it. I think it’ll make an awesome praise n worship song. So listen, enjoy, and worship!

It’s two songs in one vid, the second one is called prodigal son, another favorite I posted a while back.

Lord, you are so amazing
Lord, you are so amazing
Lord, you are strong and mighty
Lord, you are strong and mighty
Lord, you are full of mercy
Lord, you are full of mercy
Lord, your name above all others
Lord, your name above all others

And I cannot imagine, what my life would be without you
I know I would be hopeless
I’m a wretch undone without you

That’s why I:
Can’t be without you
And I won’t last you
I need you
I need you
And I’m:
So lost without you
I know that I would fail alone
I need you
I need you

Lord you are so amazing
Llord you are so amazing
Lord you are a strong tower
Lord you are a strong tower
Lord you are full of mercy
Lord you are full of mercy
Lord you are the very air I breathe
Lord you are the very air I breathe

And I cannot imagine what my life would be without you
I know I would be hopeless
I’m a wretch undone without you
And I cannot imagine what my life would be without you
I know I would be hopeless
I’m a wretch undone without you

That’s why:
I can’t be without you
And I
I won’t last without you
I need you
I need you
I’m so lost without you
I know i would fail alone
I need you
I need you

Wooooah Wooooah
I need you
Wooooah Wooooah
I need you
Yea!
OOOOO OOOO
I need you!

I <3 U, You make me feel lonely

So I’ve found a new chill spot at FIT.

It’s like a lounge kind of place on the 8th floor. That middle section  is outside, I’m not sure if you can tell by the picture, but its kind of like an outside roof dwelling place which is really cool. I tried to go there with my laptop but the sun is so bright I can’t see my screen. So I’m in the inside. It looks pretty deserted doesn’t it? Well yeah, besides that person out there, I’m the only one here, which is really weird and makes me feel like I’m not allowed to be here. But I can get internet access, and I can play music and not disturb anyone, and I like being alone. It’s peaceful. I’m anti-social in a way, but I haven’t been found anyone here who when I’m with them, makes me feel like I’m alone, and that’s what I need. If you’re my best friend, or close to me, then that means in some way, you make me feel like I’m alone… which is good! You see, when I’m alone, I act like my true self, so if I feel alone, i feel comfy. So If you make me feel alone, You make me feel comfy. I think people take it as jerkish when I go off by myself.. but, I’m an only child.. I grew up kind of weird ok? The only alone I don’t like, is that kind of alone where it’s like, “Surrounded by so many people yet I feel so alone”. That alone is annoying. Because those people that are surrounding you take it upon themselves to make you not alone. But its more like a burden to them than wanting to. So it’s awkward. Mmm well class starts in 7 minutes, time to be social!

Bleh… time to press play!

Feeling like you suck… really sucks. You lose the spring in your step. You just walk through the halls uncaringly, your portfolio case carelessy hanging off your shoulder, looking down not bothering to see who’s around you. I keep trying to blame the retardedness of the projects, than my inadequecies, but I can’t help but focus on the latter. Ugh, my previous pond was too tiny and now I’m getting kicked around by the fish that actually have size that’s boast worthy. I feel like nothing I do measures up and when I put my all in something, it just gets flicked away. Well I guess then, this is my kind of game. Taking beatings just to use them as my own power. To get to the top unexpectedly, to surpass expectations set for me. To reverse negativity. Scratching my way to the top from the bottom.  That’s my life. That’s my kinda Game.
