...a science project around your neck!"- Brittney

and no we were not talking about awesome halloween costumes (i have no halloween stories because i did nothing for halloween! grrrr) we were at target looking at jewlery! i looked down and saw a necklace that was made of one of those rocks that are really pretty colors when you split them open, and then people will polish them up! so then i said that i thought it was cute, but it was on a short chain and so i was like "i wish it was longer" Brittney thought that i was crazy! she was like "why do you want that rock to be longer!??! its alreayd so huge!" and im like "nooo! the chain should be loger!" and then she said "oh ok! i agree! man if you had a rock any bigger than that it would look like you were wearing a science project around your neck!" i found that to be quite funny!...so i laughed...a really loud laugh!

tonight i think that i am going to go to the poetry slam! i am going to go with brittney and hopefully marion will want to come! and i also going to see if kat wants to join us because kat is amazing and i need to hang out with her agian! *I LOVE KAT! WEEEE!* but first i have to get through the day! and i have so much crap to do between now and the poetry slam! i have to work on a work sheet for my government class that is due today, and i have to go to photo class at noon (i have to have the paper done before photo because photo ends at 3 and the gov class is at 3) and then i have my cultures of the world class to go to, but i am excited because i like the stuff we are learning, and then i have to go try and find this book that we have to read for history of africa, and i need to do a bunch of other little things for different classes! ahhh i hate it! grrr and i know that i am forgetting some of the other stuff that i have to do! and that makes me mad mad mad! i really do just want this semester to end! all i ask is that i pass each class...i dont need anything special this semster! just give me my credits bitches!

oookay! now! Dawoud Bey is the photographer of the day! i am supposed to interview him for my photo III class but i cant get a hold of him yet! grr! he seems to be a pretty cool guy! he would photograph in ways that would challange the modern steriotypes that people have about blacks and other minorities. he would photograph in many different ways to express his ideas through photogrpahy! he is now a teacher at good ooool columbia college...yup! this phtograph is called: Sharmaine, Vincent, Joiseph, Andre, and charlie, and it was taken in 1993. I love the fact that it is a triptych and does not confine its self to the edges of each photograph, it sort of reminds me of some of the stuff that i have been/have been thinking about working on! if you want to get more info on Dawoud Be go to the MOCP (Museum of Contemporary Photography) web page for info and other links to click on! (as well as a ton of other phogoraphers!!!)


sorry this blog post sucks, i just really have to work on some stuff for other classes, and so i have no time to go back through and fix typos and such...sorry! talk to you all later! i love youuu!
