for anyone who has looked at this site in the past 3 months, this one's for you. it is now down to my last semester at design school. i wish i had time to record my thoughts more often to better document the last days of college. i am going to try not to be lazy this last semester, because i have so much i want to do before i go. i have about 10 side projects, all of which are related to design, that i want to do, but will prolly only get around to a couple of them. i would like time to build more temporary walls to shape my apartment with color and light (i have built one "light wall" so far). i am especially interested in home made recycled plastics. not sure what chemicals i might release if i attempt it. it seems as if there is so much unnecessary waste in my own apartment alone, that i wish i could experiment with many of these materials (i.e. cardboards, papers, plastics, even metals) and try to make something beautiful and useful out of them. i also would like to get better with a sewing machine. last summer i learned how to sew, and have since completed a few minor projects with a needle. i am very interested in clothing design, and hope to make much of my own clothes one day. i was thinking i might make some clothes for my friend Evan Weir. He has a terrible fashion sense, so i might try to help him out a bit. last but not least is music. since freshman year knecht, ross, and i have been talking about forming a band, but it always fell through. we all agreed that this semester we would. so far, no dice. i still have hope though. along with that, recently a friend of mine who is a dj, showed me how to use acid pro. this, in conjunction with some other software i have used before could be really fun to come up with some remixes. so in closing, carpe diem, if you really want to accomplish anything in life. hopefully i will take my own advice.
