never behind.

i will not surrender in front of technology.

i was lucky enough to have awesome parents for the purchase of my new macbook, which i am blogging on at this moment in time. 

i am in love with an object for the first time in my life. 

it's all of a sudden have become my most treasured priority, pride, and my baby.

my parents came yesterday, we went out to eat, went to a sweet spa, shopped, cruised around california in my dad's choice of rental car: 'PONTIAC VIBE GTEEE' as my dad would exaggerate.

notice the capitalization on the GTEEE.

o wait, so is PONTIAC VIBE.

as my homie ryan would say to me,

'aite peac fgt'

"Hi, my name is Chris Koo. I love my family and friends."

slimey sunday.

my eyes feel as if they are stuck to my laptop screen permanently, 'daughters' by john mayer is playing on my iHome iPod player/alarm. i biked to my bud alex's house and watered his japanese plant, (he himself went home for TG) got my self a grande mocha frappucino with whipped cream, and biked back home in a half-ass weather today in california. the sun shines every now and then, and its mostly chilly and dark.

i fucked up this semester, missed a lot of classes and stayed up too often. i'm going to get my mind together to really push myself when i get back from christmas break.

things i will do:

1.) take a figure drawing class at PCC- in order to be succeed at entertainment design, i will have to know how to draw different characters and its costumes (clothes, weapons, accessories, etc.)

2.) take intro to entertainment design at art center- this is the class i will have to focus on the most, since i'm applying to art center's day program for this major.

3.) take visual communication, or intro to product and transportation design at art center- i have always loved drawing cars, so i'm going to take this class to see if this is the right thing for me... if not, i'll still end up bettering myself at sketching and rendering cars and products! visual communication is needed for every major so that is also a big consideration.

4.) ride on the bike more- once i get a road bike, i will cruise EVERYWHERE, as that will be my one and only transportation. i know i'll love it!

5.) no more smoking. maybe cigarettes, only at desparate times. smoking has been slowing the productive part of my brain, and contributed very little to my art. i've learned that the hard way, and now i know not to do anything dumb.

6.) write more on these blogs, because it helps me organize my ideas into my brain, as i write.

but for now, i'm back to my 80 page perspective sketchbook.

coffee

IS FILLING UP ABOUT 90% OF MY BODY AND I AM LOVING IT.

WOW.
WOW.
WOW.

a horrible day.

i haven't been getting much sleep, eating grilled cheese sandwhich for: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, lots of coffee and redbull. and of course, cigarettes. "tsk tsk tsk" as everyone would say. i lost a lot of weight, and haven't had a good meal ever since i can remember. i'm missing home desparately, my family and friends. i wish i could come home for thanksgiving, but my parents are already coming to visit me. i'm tired. im shot. im beat. im stressed. im hurting.

getting shit together isn't the easiest thing to do, but im gonna give it a good shot at it.
