Spring 09 has started, and in case you haven't heard, a new president has taken office.

These pictures are absolutely amazing. It shows how not only America, but the entire world is united behind Obama, just who he is and what he stands for is inspiring millions of people.

I'm glad I'm back in classes, even though I've already got a ton of stuff to do and it's only post-day 2, I have things to do again! things to accomplish and complete. It feels good :)

A thing that's cool to look at:

I wanna keep track of the new places I've gone to in keeping with my feeble resolutions:
week 1 - Sandy's frozen yogurt
week 2 - rode in a cab(it counts)
week 3 - walked around East Austin a bit
week 4 - starts today ;}

watching the lost premiere now, it's sooo craaaazy

something i've learned

if you want to meet guys, here's how:

1. go somewhere guys are drinking

2...that's it

Hey ho, inspiration

I'm trying to keep up with my resolutions, the only ones I'm working on right now are drawing, cell phone, and being content. Doing terrible with the cellphone, doing well with the drawing beeecause i'm full of ideas and stuff. I spent a large chunk of yesterday drooling over art and design blogs.

Also yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble and traded in the photoshop tutorial book my mom got me for this:

And it's full of amazing, colorful, personality-filled pictures that I want to emulate.

Just a few images I liked from my blog searches:


Did you guys ever do "the penguin dance"(that's what my dad called it) with your parents when you were tiny? The name of this photo was 'dancing shoes' and it warmed my heart :}


neeat 3-d typography


remember my post about music and art? here's more ;D


maybe a bit outdated with ipod touch tic tac toe and shit out there, but still pretty :]


Saw this on conceptart and thought the coloring was gooorgeous.

There was a ton more, but i didnt want to overload my harddrive with pictures from blogs, but now i'm thinking i should just have a folder or something. Maaaybe I'll get up the non-laziness to scan my drawings later, we'll see.
