open call for honest life stories

21st century kid, may 2012 (i’ve been really inspired by exhibits i’ve seen where there’s an installation and it’s a room that’s covered in shit that looks like the inside of a 21st century kid’s mind. a tornado hit the internet, photos that kid took, mind memories, thoughts, colors, chaos, their actual bedroom, places they’ve been inside of mixed with places they haven’t been, but know about… i think a lot about it. i think it’s strange how a kid these days can spend all day in one spot and still feel like they’ve seen more than they could see “in real life”, like through their actual eyeballs. like… sometimes i feel like i’ve seen so much, but i don’t know what to do with it… or the things i’m losing ignorance towards are pointless or stupid… so what’s the point? or if it actually helped me in any way… i’ve never been so many places, yet i feel like i have somehow… i’m really interested in our little modern chaotic worlds… the internet… tv… craziness. i want to make these based on… what’s on my computer, what’s on the internet, what i feel is in my head, chaos, the shit ton of things that have been flashing around in my mind. i want to keep making them and get more specific about it… more honest and in depth. maybe keep getting even more and more detailed. and telling. and them someday print them real big, enough for someone to stand in front of it and have it consume them and fill their minds and maybe they can feel how i feel sometimes.)

leap of fathe, may 2012 (lol… i just wanted to write fathe cuz i thought it was funny and i looked it up and it means “fathead” aka “stupid person” which could be fitting!!! this is basically a self portrait of how i want to be. lately i’ve been writing little pro/con lists, contemplating if it is *smart* to take the leap of faith into the extreme life i want to live, complete with dreams and struggles and all. but maybe i should be a fathead up to a point and just DO IT!!! whatever, i’m going to try to incorporate some aspects of it into my life now and i’m excited and want to keep checking myself on it so i won’t let myself down. i’ve learned a lot about myself and my values and i know where my heart’s at, now it’s time to let ‘er rip and start shifting into that person/lifestyle that i’m dreaming of.)
