"Steal me, deal me, anyway you heal me.
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me.
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me.
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me."


So as we all get older and experience more in our lives' we begin to notice that our friends we grew up with in childhood might not be the same person you come to agree with anymore.

That's just a little note to start off this blog.
It's been quite a while since I've last posted my thoughts on here, here is an update on what is going on in my life.

I'm on Spring Break right now 3/16-3/20 and I'm basically just trying to find some time to kill and some more artistic things to get out of my system.

I'm looking into some colleges still: LSU, Texas Tech, UNT, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, California State, Southern Methodist University (SMU), and I have more that I cannot remember off the top of my head at the moment.

I still really have no idea what I want to do in life. I have an interest in so far: Psychology, Criminology and Forensics, Graphic design, Illustration, Creative writing, U.S. Foreign Policy, Politics, Biology, Art in general, Philosophy, Foreign languages, Magick (Wicca and other Celtic old religions of Magickal forms), and Culture.

I start the International Baccalaureate program next year and I need to get 150 service hours by my senior year. I will be an all IB student and graduate with my IB diploma along with an extra 1 class of Advanced Placement for AP Drawing Portfolio my senior year in high school. I also need to write a 4,000 word essay by my senior year.

My upcoming work will be along the lines of different psychological disorders that I want to focus on, mostly because a lot of people take for granted how talented some of these people are. Autism, Schizophrenia, Paranoia/Dementia, Bi-polar disorder, Synesthesia, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, and other shapes and forms.
It surprises me that a lot of people in insane asylums are such creative masterminds and seem so at peace when they create amazing works of art, but when not doing their artwork they are so outraged at the world. I also have a strong belief that not all people in asylums are insane, they just happened to be put in their because of the government not liking the way they are handling certain situations.

In my opinion asylums and religion were created to help the government control hundreds of people that they normally couldn't control without the help of these two objects.
I also happen to believe that everyone is overreacting about 2012, the world is not said to end as everyone believe's the Mayan's said it would. I recently got a book called, "Beyond the Indigo Children/ The New Children and the Coming of the Fifth World" by P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D. The Mayans actually believed that during the year 2012 a new great event will happen that will change the shape and form of society itself either new technology, a form of some kind of "Messiah", or everyone in the world will experience a form of peace, either mentally or physically. I suggest everyone read this amazing book. It truly has shaped my thoughts differently towards the Mayans, I now respect them a little more than I have before.
I am still amazed by the fact how the ancient societies knew so much about what was to come and yet we still cannot determine what will happen in a year or in a month.


I would like everyone to check out this amazing artist
Daniel Tammet

Daniel Tammet, an artist from the UK, who has a few different mental disabilities that most would assume would affect his well being and his future and career, has not affected this man at all. Through overcoming his disabilities and using them to his advantage by using one of his disorders, Synaesthesia, a disorder that helps one experience numbers or colors into a surreal effect, he makes numbers that one would normally see as 7 or 10 into something completely different, it's his own form of numbers, sure it doesn't look like a number anymore, but he has created a different form and unique style of art all his own.

This artist like many other artists in the "Outsider Art" division has helped shape the world's view on art differently. Not just biased and influenced by the corruption of today's society, lack of morals, culture, and the negative religious outlooks on everything. This form of art I will study more into it and hopefully, it will help my work in my classes, and on here, become a bit more better.

I would also like to credit this amazing person here on DA for the amazing outlook on everything and for her ability to make animals look so real. She has helped me so much in the last couple of months both in art and in everyday life, it's a relief to have someone like her in my life.

Another credit I would like to give is to this person for her work and terrific blogs and opinions toward today's society and artwork.
