What Is This Title?

(beach sleeps)

Today is Saturday, October 25th and it's my friend Jessee's birthday!!! She's turning 18 or 19... I think 18! That's pretty exciting!

So I stayed at the UNC v. Boston game until half time because my mom, gma, and uncle were leaving after halftime... and we went to a vintage store so I figured I would "tag" along... I got BUBBLE TEA!!! from this place on Franklin St. and of course I got Taro flavoured!!! It's my fav, but I should branch out and choose different flavours... they even had cotton candy... WHY DIDN'T I TRY COTTON CANDY. haha... anyways whatevssss.

It has been good to see family and friends, I'm getting a ton of food, which is nice b/c I never get enough in RVA.

I GET TO SEE LO TOMORROW!!!

and I miss my RVA family... but like I said before it's nice to have people to miss...

My poison ivy still itches, but I'm avoiding that... and I'm going to go listen to some music and take a nap or so...

PEACE PEACE PEACE
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Poison Ivy Go Away!


Hey this is Sykeskid coming to you from the good ol' North Cakalacki! Oh my dearest home state how I long to get some weekend rest... haha, what?! Anyways... I drove through where I was born today, that was pretty cool. Durham County Hospital yeah!!!

I have poison ivy or something on my wrist. It itches and I wish it would go away... I put that pink calamine lotion on and I hope it works out...
Tomorrow I will go to a football game, my first and probably last of the year!!! hahaha, but this doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching the ol' pigskin get thrown around and crazy hail mary plays! Right now it's almost tomorrow so I'm probs going to actually try to get some z's, unlike my lack of z catching this week... man, I really haven't been sleeping enough lately... but I have been able to see people I love, and that makes up for the lack of sleep. God's pushing on my heart this weekend to reach out to people, and I really really pray that I am bold... sleep time...

i love all you rva-ers.
and all you gee-boro-ers.

I'm in Imaging and Writing a Blog, That is Classy, Carra.


So I'm in imaging and thinking of idears for my new project that was assigned on Monday. We have to take five frames that are sequential. I kind of want to take different perspectives of each frame I create... kind of giving like a matrix vibe to the sequential story... I'm thinking about getting someone to act as if they are getting an idea, taking that idea to creating something, and then throwing it away, and then making something else and then they get stoked about their idea... something like that... we'll see how this pans out... any v-teers? It is due Monday so... I may have to do it in Chapel Hill, or Perhaps when I get back on Sunday someone could help me out?

I think I would want natural lighting but if I can't get that I'll use some low lighting in my room or at a desk somewhere...

Four perspectives, Five Frames... time for me to tell a story...

edit: okay so i just found out it has to be an object... but can an object be an idea? and the idea can be what i work from?

Methods and Processes Coat of Arms.

So right now I'm working on a project for methods and processes. Basically we had to go out and find 10 objects around campus, study them, and then create a shirt out of them...

This is what I found:
  1. Heineken Beer Cap
  2. Silver Beer Cap
  3. Camel Cigarette
  4. Black Cigarette
  5. No Drinking Bracelet
  6. Little Caesars Napkin
  7. Pollak Flyer
  8. Job Flyer
  9. Grape Cigarello Cover
  10. Cigar Paper
I'm thinking about developing a family crest out of elements inspired by these objects... when we are born we are born to a family name... we are able to break free from that or be conformed by that... I want to create a crest inspired by drinking, smoking, and an unhealthy lifestyle, but I want to photograph this shirt on a character who is straight-edge in order to express how we can break free from how are families are, if the life is a negative and unhealthy one... I don't know how much this makes sense but I'm still developing the story...

Five Minutes Left Before I Start My Homework List.

THANK YOU GOD FOR AN AWESOME FALL BREAK OH EIGHT!!!

My heart was filled with excitement and comfort this Fall Break. I got to spend time with some amazing people who I am just beginning new journeys with and I'm getting super stoked about this!!!! I thought a lot about my friendship with my tight friend Lo (and how i miss you girl!!!) and how I can't wait to spend some time with you longer than we had when I came to Raleigh...

Before we headed to Gloucester... I think I spelled it wrong but it'll be okay because I'm horrible at spelling... we went to VA Beach with Joni and Michelle!!! It was awesome to see where Michelle grew up and I can't wait to see where Joni grew up!!! We went to this huge place called the Wave, it was slightly intimidating, size wise, but wow the colours were popping! I can't wait to go back to VA beach!!! Michelle's parents are very loving and they fed us to the nines!!! I'm telling you, you won't go hungry there!!! :)

I'm blessed to have a friend like Melissa, well dang man I'm just blessed to have the friends I have in my life!!!... she and her family took me in over Fall Break as their own... there were so many laughs, breaths of comfort, and just being true... it was nice, I am going to smile now, okay yes I am smiling now :) I got some good eats and songs at the Wren's place and it pretty much ROCKED! Yay. Man, I love being crazy and goofy with my friends.

YAY GOD!
Cheers,
xoxo Sykeskid.time.for.homework.
