Mega Bubblegum for 50 Cents.

LAST NIGHT WAS AMAZING. I got to hang out with Michelle (meech), Melissa, Joni, and Shoshannah! Great laughing matter times. Gigglefest. Grandtasticness.

now. CLEAN YO' GLASSES.

Right now I'm taking a quick break from studying for my History of VisCom exam I have this afternoon... I just finished studying the slides I made for visual help and now I must read read read my notes like a crazy person... bahaha. So El Lissitzky, whose design is shown below is someone we've learned a lot about, kind of... apparently he's a big deal in the beginnings of graphic design...
(El Lissitzky)
Personally I'm really enjoying this class... I just hope I can do well on this exam because if we get 90's or above by the end of the semester we don't have to take the final cummulative exam.

Oh Herber Matter, you matter to graphic design! :

I Cut My Finger Cutting a Mango, Today.

Don't fret! It's not as bad as it sounds. There was a tad bit of blood but I'm great!

So today, Tuesday, "Tuna Tuesday" as Meech and I have declared!!! So I'm going to have tuna for dinner. I really enjoy writing a blog. And sometimes I want to write like 23048320 a day but I try to keep it all in one. So here's the dealio:

I'm about to do some typography homework.
SUPER STOKED ABOUT CRASH ON THURSDAY (InterVarsity Event)
AND SEEING MY MUM!
IMAGING! I've got some of that homework to do.

HEY ALL RICHMOND PEEPS!
you should check out THERICHMONDSCENE.COM it's an up and coming site to help out local musicians, artists, etc!!! CHECK IT OUT! BECOME A MEMBER FOR FREE!!!

FREE!!!
haha

I'm super blessed with great friends, family, and just being able to do art for the world, life, etc.

Illustration or Graphic Design? THAT IS THE QUESTION! So... could I just call it Gillustraphic Design and start a new movement?

Perhaps.

xoxo SYKESKID.
IT'S FALL!

Burren Reunion Means Say Ireland As Much as Possible.

Laughter filled us all as we greeted one another once more! Only two of us who came to the reunion were from different schools than the other of the masses haha... 5 students from MICA (in baltimore) 2 students from Hartford art school, one from... well I don't know Olga's university... hahah and the new kid from VCU!

The drive to Baltimore, Maryland wasn't all that long... I mean I sang at the top of my lungs haha so that was fun!

Then I saw BEKI! AND AMBER! yay! So Beki helped navigate me to BETHLEHEM! (Penn.)

On the way I spotted SCRANTON! (for office fans)
AND HERSHEY! (for Erica Hef.)

And then I got a sore throat from singing really loud with Beki and Amber. HAHA.

It was super foggy and hard to drive through once we made it to Bethlehem where miss ELIZABETH L. lives!!!

I'm being lazy so all in all HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS, ATE A LOT OF FOOD, TALKED ABOUT IRELAND, LAUGHED, LAUGHED SOME MORE, ATE SOME MORE, CELTIC FESTIVAL, CRAZY HAIR, EMILY BOUGHT A BUNNY, MORE FOOD, FUN.

it was a great weekend.
sorry I can't write it all here and now,
xoxo sykeKID whatupplayaplayah.

Gut Feeling.

So right now I'm about to start working on some more photoshop stuff that is due tomorrow morning before my Design Tech class... although it is very intricate and time-consuming I'm learning a lot in this class... I "tink" at least... And then after class tomorrow I'm hitting up Pennsylvania to see my IRELAND 2K8 FRIENDS!!! This shall be an interesting weekend and it's crazy how time has flown by b/c I haven't seen any of my Burren friends since the day we left each other about 5/6 months ago!... on another note: for some reason there is something pushing on my heart right now and I can't seem to know what this burden is. I know if I just pray and be patient all will be better but right now it's just kind of pushing on me. I don't know if any of y'all have had that feeling of just knowing something is off, but not being able to pinpoint that problem... maybe I'm just worried about something... I really should not be worried. Tonight we learned a little about a sick woman touching Jesus and being healed... amazing. I mean the fact that God, the person who made me, wants to know me for me is just a brilliant feeling. He talked to the sick woman, which many of the society around her would not even utter a word to her. God's love is so pure and deep. I want to love like this. I want to live like this. If I have ever hurt you in any way (world out there) I hope you can forgive me because all I want to do is love. it is 11:11 as I glance at the clock so I am going to go finish up my work and then hopefully have a peaceful night of sleep. xoxo sykeskid.

I Can Wear My Shades With No Handlebar(mustache)s

oh so fly. BAHAHA.
sooooooooooooooo.
I wish tonight was IV...but patience is a virtue miss carra! I need to go to bed but I just thought I would type a tad (haha that's cute)

Today was kind of long but sometimes that's a good thing. Last night I fell asleep when I was cleaning my room so today I finished up cleaning. First I went to Design Methods/Processes and then to my favourite class History of Visual Communication! I got to register to vote in V.A. b/c apparently I can b/c I have an address here! That's kind of exciting... I'm starting to forget I'm not in N.C... which is weird because that's where I have lived practically all my life... Thanks to Ireland last semester, the transition of living somewhere different has been a lot easier... I am still so SO OH SO very excited about the friendships and familyness that's happening here in Richmond. I love all the people I've met through IV Christian Fellowship. All happens for a reason!!!

Currently listening to some Rocket Summer:

"You are the star that's in my sky... I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE."

PROcrastINATION

So it's Tuesday. 2's Day. I guess the number 2 get's a whole day every week. That's pretty crazy! Well one Tuesday a Polarbear jumped on the ice and there was an ICEBREAKER!

hahahaha
too funny
anyways... I woke up kind of earlier this morning and I've been doing some work for my Design Methods and Processes class... I'm not the biggest fan of that class right now but I'm going to try not to be a debbie downer. I just have to be a positive pam!

Here is an interesting video I enjoyed watching b/c it made me laugh and it was during a time of procrastinating:

God has def. blessed me with meeting these wonderful people who now I know are my brothers and sisters in the big man! Let's see... it's all come so fast, I've met many wonderful people through going to IV and I'm super stoked to just keep getting to know them and just learning more and more about God and how awesome life with Jesus and God is! A TO THE AWESOME.

Laughed a lot
Prayed a lot
Loved a lot
Learned a lot
My heart smiled a lot.
