Art is actually pretty fun... I've been taking the class for awhile and ironically - some days it takes the most time to do... this picture, though it looks relatively simple, is painstakingly detailed... If you notice, the top left corner is burnished (*pitch black with no sign of white) I wanted to do this for the entire space background but found this impossible with just 1 black color pencil and my limited time... However, I still f*cked up and didn't do as well as I wanted to... but then again, I was limited to color pencils only... pastel would have worked better.... but hence, this was an art assignment with specific instructions...

ssignment... Took 4 hours.. *sigh...

Wow... I'm updating... Let's see... this weekend - once again another waste of two free days in my life but so are most of my weekends. Saturday - went to Huntington Beach for a Annual Beach Cleanup headed by our club: Earth Club - am the treasurer for that so I guess I should show up... lol... Played tennis for about 3 hours later in the evening with Brendan and his friends. I wrote a particularly sincere, unabashed, and revealing e-mail to a somebody who was close to me that has yet to respond... I guess, time, even 1 month can do a lot... Sunday - same and mundane as usual, went to Church, played in a ping pong tournament... looked stone the entire time... o wellz... I wish I had more direction and meaning in my life... I have goals but I dun really give too much of a f*ck about those goals... it's quite sad... I know... Having a comfortable life and continuing it... yes, what a wonderful life purpose... Gaining respect and instilling pride in parents... I guess that's a good goal... Making family happy... yes yes... well, I'm done with my mellow rant... This is Austin - over and out...

Spring break is over now... and I didn't do 20% of the stuff I planned on doing during it's onset... yes, i had big plans - I was hoping to do a lot of volunteering for the community but I only managed to contact a few places.... also, I have to finish my stanford summer school application, do my resume for Ms. Gamez, my counselor, and a list of other things... Funny how life doesn't always go the way you plan... hmmm... unless you plan it - that's what he told me. He segments every hour of every day of his life and gets a lot done... I could do that too... but I don't feel like leaving my comfort zone of laziness... I really should try that someday.... anyhow - went Karoake last Friday - that was pretty fun - sang a variety of songs - mostly alternative rock but I busted out some rapping too... lol... Sang "Eyes on Me" by Faye Wong too - that's a good song. Let's go again some other time guys. That's enough rambling for today... back to the drawing board of solving the mystery of life.
