Hello

Hello All,

I thought I would catch you all up with what has been going on in the weird wild world of K.

First off, the biggest news of the summer for me is I am going back to college. I begin this semester going after a double major in Visual arts and Criminal Justice degree.  I know they seem like two entirely different things but I know deep down I cant make money with a VA degree (I fucking LOATH marketing so branding is totally out the window) however I have wanted to take some art classes for me, something to increase my skill or add to my personal happiness. So everything from learning Photoshop to taking a few electives in music will I hope refresh the artistic stores in me. As for the criminal justice degree with plans to get those lovely little "Esq" after my name well, we are born with a few talents, and as I have been working in the legal field for nearly 8 years now I thought it was about time to go all the way with this particular talent of mine. So we shall see how all of that works out.

Dealing with my new job, well I fucking hate it, for pretty much the same reasons why I hated working for IBM before, only now instead of working with people I actually like and/or get along with I got shafted working for a woman hating primadonna with a messiah complex. My other coworkers and managers are good people however, but between dealing with her BS and getting ready for school i have been extremely overwhelmed to the point of tears.

On the flipside of all of this crazy responsibility sheee-it I have been painting nearly everyday. I was feeling sort of uninspired in the beginning part of this summer (being laid off and then starting a new job will do that to you I guess) but I decided to buckle down and just paint. I am currently working on an "Elements" themed group of piece, the piece which I am furthest along with is entitled "H2O". I hope to post up some of my rough work soon.

Lastly, on one of my more philosophic / existential sides, I have been having incredibly intense and realistic dreams lately. i usually have night terrors, which are for the most part paralyzing and vivid but these have been scarce lately, my dreams instead have been pleasant, but sorrowful, like I am but a ghost traveling beside someone else, going through the motions and living their life with them instead of being apart of it.

Perhaps this is something we all go through, the feeling of being outside of life instead of within it, observers and recorders, mere playwrites instead of players in this great comedy we call life.
