ok... yeah... been about 2 months since the last posting... yeah bad Joe... but what else is new... oh yeah... I acually have a Job... in teaching.. well not exactly.. but it is at a Middle school helping out a Kid With Muscular Dystrophy through out the day. And he is takeing the advanced classes with algerbra... *my head hurts*... But what i cant believe is all the STUPID testing that they make these kids go through!!! I DESPISE HATE WITH A PASSION standardized tests!!! and thank God that i didn't have to take them or i might not have made it through high school... b/c there are people like myself that fall through the cracks of these tests because how is an A,b,c,d answer (I did have to take the *$#@ regents test four times) supposed to evaluate how someone has learned to APPLY a concept... it CAN'T!!! and just b/c i don't know the technical words i don't understand the concept??? whatever! and thats why i have come to believe in art soo much after i discovered it as a major 3 years ago.. b/c we show how as individuals we interpret and apply the given concept and it makes us think for our selves in terms of problem solving, which is a critical skill in all subjects right?? ok... that was the big spiel in my disappointments of the crime that i think standardized tests are... and do have website that i have my work up on... an it does have its bugs... but i'll work on it... http://www.geocities.com/jester_909 which does include my "infamous" car hoods

And i think my poor mouse is going to Die and there is NO ONE that makes MY mouse anymore... I have used this guy since 2000!! thats 6 whole years!!! you can't find a right handed thumbside trackball mouse anywere! many people hate them but i think its absolutely the best mouse ever made!

Next question, and remember i admit that i am a dumb guy, What does it mean when someone sticks her tounge out at you, recites the "its an a.b.c. conversation so see your way out" and follows it with the "muh muh muh" while i helped finish "so see my way out" and joined in on the "muh muh muh"

Going Supper Old School, even for me
Later!
Joe ?

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove i'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire

Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

ok.. this posting is going to be verry sirattic (or however its spelled)... who knows... been thinking about this one for a week or so now... and remembered a song that i havent heard in a while...

General Banter:
1) is it me or have you ever wondered what would happen if you combine two different "chapters" of you life together, just to think what it would be like?
2) If I or someone else were a year or two younger/older, what might have happened ?
3) gave out a few more dateing "applications" to a few more people would things be a bit easier for me now?

five.... er.. Four Things rememberd in a year total of dateing three people 6 mo, 4 mo, 2 mo.
4 ... Kiss... everyone does it, really makes a person realy feal special
3.... Just a look that gave you an extra bit of confidence
2.... Hug... the one that is for you, and just makes everything all better, and you dont know
why
1... Just knowing that there is someone that belives in you and pushes you to better, with
out them knowing it

and now the traditional posting of the song... and i know i have put this one up before and it has been a while, so here is a refresher... Loni Rose : I want to go Back:

If you believe
In make believe
Fairytales and destiny
There are places no one's found
Places no one's been
I believe . . .

It'll take your breath away
You won't believe your eyes
The beautiful, magical, starlight
It will chill you to the bone
So far away from home
Terrible, wonderful, just want to go home

Let me go back to my world
I wanna go back to my world
Let me go back - let me go
Oh, I wanna go back to my world
I wanna go back to my world
Let me go back - let me go

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me am I in a dream
Is this really happening
It took me by surprise
I can't believe my eyes
This terrible, wonderful, starlight

Let me go back to my world
I wanna go back to my world
Let me go back - let me go
Oh, I wanna go back to my world
Let me go back to my world
I wanna go back - let me go

Oh, let me go back to my world
I wanna go back to my world
Let me go back - let me go

Let me go back to my world
I wanna go back to my world
Let me go back - let me go

Let me go back
Let me go back
Let me go

Let me go back
Let me go back
Let me go

ok... i know it has been a while... but this is the first time in a while that my head hasnt been cluttered with sooooo much stuff regaurding my senior show, which is only a month away... (april 17) dern thats close... and yes it is my spriing break just like it is with lotta of ya'll, and no i didnt go to a beach or mountains or anywhere... why... i am a poor student thats why... after the show goes up i need to find work... which is just about as crazy as makeing artwork... been trying to buy a laptop... but that has been insane as well b/c i know what i want, and its a bit more than what i'm willing to pay at this time... that and i would like a date, or even a "mock" date (something that is date like but a true date, but could lead to date) havent had one of those in a looong time... and it would just be nice to have a "maningless" conversation, or a hug that makes all of the insanity better... or even a look that just makes me grin... just b/c i know its for me. what also doesnt help that a friend of mine has a friend that could pass for a twin of someone... which is sooooo wierd... b/c i have never had that happen before... and i have to remind myself that that is not who i think it is, and do a few double takes.....
just want it all over and have a job....and then maybe a date will take care of itself... idk... but we'll seee

WARNING VENTING AHEAD!

OK... first i have suvived SPAD unscathed... which is good... but today i held my tounge with a Prof. mentioned that i thinking about takeing the "easy way out" for one of the processes that i had thought about useing agaist what i thought about doin initally.whcich is ok.. but in the way he said it... and how i eas trying to explain why i thought so, he said i was makeing excuses... but i KNOW that i have one of the most ambitious projects that are being put together. and he challenged one of two things that are important to me... one being integrity, and the other work ethic, wich is the one that he challenged and i have him for a class... and he also is in on my reviews.. and if he challenges me like that durring my review, and not listen to what i have to say, i'm fairly cirtain that one of two things are going to happen, 1) Joe goes NUCKLEAR, which is a rareity, or 2) just walk out of my review b/c i'm being disrespected like no tomorrow, and reviews are in a little over a week....and both results are not good... but writing appolgy letters for a walk out is easier than one for a blow out... and if it comes to either one of those its going to be long semester b/c i can't drop the class that i'm takeing from him.... so i would have to come up with something agreeable to get credit for the class and receive a grade earned, rather than a grade given, possibly calling him out infromt of the entire faculty durring the revew.

SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT
Pat Benatar
Get Nervous

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
Cause we got nobody else

Chorus:
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will

ok... yeah it has been a while since I have posted.... thinking of just doing a once a month recap of things... seams to make it a bunch easier....what's going on ya'lll might ask... school, and working on my senior project that feels like it is going to be the death of me... but the end is in sight... have two items full in color and are waiting for imagery, and 7 more to go for paint and images. lets see what else... ummm.... yeah it is "that time of year" my favorite protesting holiday that I have renamed SPAD (single persons awareness day) more commonly known as V-day... mainly b/c you cant go anywhere with out seeing the blaitent over commercialization of it all. and I'm pretty sure why ya'll know why that is... 4th week of school here and I just wasn't the next 12 over ASAP!!! but the down side to that is i have to find a job YUCK!!! Calendar days.. Monday April 17, my art show opens with a gallery talk at 12 noon or 12:30, and on the 20 th (Thursday) have the reception at 5 ish to 7 pm (where food will be provided)
