Chapters. 3/10/09

I guess this is the end of one chapter and the start of another.
Tomorrow is my last official day of class at UCLA. I’m kind of sad, relieved, and scared at the same time. I kind of don’t know what to do with myself after. I mean, I do have two internships, kind of, and also some freelance work, but nothing stable. I need to start planning all of this stuff out. Where am I going to live next year?! :( I’m so lost, someone please guide me. Please.

I think all this stress, anxiety, and frustration is really playing with my emotions. My emotions are fluttering up and down lately, mostly down though hahahahaa. It doesn’t help that I am severely annoyed with quite a few people right now. Friends, Roommates, Co-Workers, etc. I just need to get away. I need a vacation, which I think I’m going to finally get in a month. Blah. Either I’m becoming a bad friend and suck at holding friendships or my friends just suck. I’m going to go with the former. I hate it when people say things that they never end up doing, especially when that happens multiple times. I’m just completely fed up with it. I’m sick on inconsiderate, ignorant, stupid people. Okay, I can’t think anymore. My brain’s fried. I don’t even know what I’m mad about anymore. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know what day it is anymore. My friend just told me she’s sad that we’re done now. I’m sad too. I’m depressed. Okay no, seriously, someone cheer me up. I miss my friends. I miss my family. I miss a lot of things right now. I want to break down but I can’t think. I’m numb. MAKE EVERYTHING OKAY.

Tsunamis and Earthquakes. 2/27/09

Maybe its the current natural disasters occurring around the world. Maybe its the constant storms coming in and out, keeping the weather never really sunny for very long. Maybe its all the work I’ve stacked on myself. Maybe its all my deadlines stacking up and coming closer. Maybe its my graduation ticking closer and telling me that I’m about to be thrown out into the real world on my ass, and a storm is scheduled for when I’m there. Maybe its just deep thinking and too much of it. I just want to give up. On so many things. On people, on assignments, on friends, on futures, on goals. Of course, most of these are just my momentary idiotic thoughts that I brush away immediately, but some of them have been lingering in thought. I want to get away from everything, but at the same time, I just want someone to be there to tell me everything’s going to be okay. Haha talk about a quarter-life crisis. What exactly am I doing with my life? I don’t know, but I need to get crackin’. Too bad I’m annoyed, angry, lonely, confused, numb, and quite frankly, depressed. Someone make me smile and laugh. Please. Someone give me a hug.

Drop the World. 2/25/09

People annoy me lately. The world annoys me. And I have so much shit to do that its ridiculous. Luckily, most of it is stuff I love doing, but, oh my God, am I swamped. So much for the relaxing quarter with just two classes. Now its more like, thank God I’m taking two classes. I am so sick and tired of inconsiderate, unaware, useless, fucking retarded people. I can’t take it anymore. I need to get out. I need a vacation. I need to get away. I’m so sick of the world. I need sleep. That’s what I need. I’m so sleep deprived and cracked out nowadays that its ridiculous. I can’t live a day without my 30 min powernap once a day anymore. I need to make it through these next three weeks and I’ll be good. I think it’ll be definitely worth it in the end. Some good projects I’m working on and its going to be good, but if I don’t make it, someone’s going to die. I’m going to choke a bitch, snap a neck, and kill someone. Sigh. Pull it together Allen, just a little while longer. Honestly though, where did all the considerate and caring people in the world go? Even my mom bitched at me about how I’m on my toes a lot more now and get offended easier, which I totally admit too, but, even though I shouldn’t, I blame it on all the stress, the people around me, and the negative influence and energy I get daily. -_____________- Okay I need to get away into a positive environment with good people. A happy environment. Its been a good while since I’ve laughed. Someone make me laugh and smile again. Please.

Faith and Instinct. 2/3/10

Here I am sitting at my desk at four thirty in the morning, finally with the urge to blog in a while. I’m currently listening to my Radiohead playlist. I love how music is always able to bring out certain feelings within me and really let them manifest so that I can just sit and marinate in them as I just think for once. Oh God, how I’ve been wanting just time to myself to think, and draw. I finally have it, but at the expense of sleep. Then again, I didn’t really feel like sleeping tonight anyways. I haven’t really been able to sleep recently. I keep waking up, coming in and out of sleep. Too much thinking again, Allen. I don’t know why I don’t feel like sleeping. Well, I do, but at the same time, I don’t because I love sleep so much, so why wouldn’t I want to go to sleep. Sleep is so good, but also such a waste of time. I wish there were more hours in the day.

Besides just wanting to finally stay awake past everyone just to get some time to myself to just sit and think without looking like a weirdo within the apartment, I guess I needed to catch up on reading. I mean, I don’t guess, I HAVE to catch up on reading. I was supposed to be caught up on all these readings by last Monday. Oh dear, I should finish in time for class tomorrow, but if I don’t Henri is going to kill me. Hahahaha but I should be fine. I’m done reading for tonight so I’m just gonna do some blogging from some recent thought gathering. I really need my own place. That would be so great. Sigh. I’ve been thinking a lot lately. Again. But about everything. Especially my future, with my finishing up with school in about 5 weeks, I need to really get my life on track. I want to draw, design, make things, so that I can, first of all, finally get some more personal experience, and, second, get some more stuff for my portfolio, which is still on my list of things to re-vamp, again. Sigh. MY LIFE IS A BIG SIGH. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. I told this to my friend a while ago and I thought it was funny. I’ve realized that I work better and am much more inspired under stressful, sleepless, and emotional conditions. I love this feeling of thoughts coming in, thoughts going out, images being created, ideas being lit, all within my head. It really is amazing. Especially with my eyes half shut from the weight of lack of sleep. I need to wake up early and finish reading all these interviews. Then I need to eat, and then get my ass flyering. Then to class. Even with only two classes this quarter, I feel like I have a shitload of work to do. I need a job too. So much to do, so little time.

I’ve also realized recently that a lot of the things I do within my life, the decisions I make, the memories that are created, are all a result of faith and/or instinct. Everything I do is based almost purely on faith and/or instinct, but I think its okay because, for the most part, my instinct is pretty darn good if I say so myself, and my faith has never deterred me the wrong way, at least not that I know of. I think its both a bad and good way to lead life, but I like the direction its going so far, so hopefully it leads me somewhere grand. I have faith! :) Man, I just want to draw and design something. I’ve had this recent urge to just sit down and draw, but every time I sit down to do so, I realize I have work to do and then when I take a break from that work, I don’t want to draw. I need like a day of free time to draw. Maybe this weekend. Okay the beer is settling in and I’m getting sleepy, so I shall finally set off to bed. I’ll upload a nice photo entry soon. Shit, I need to really update my flickr.. SIGH.

Morning After. 1/23/10

Its been quite a long time since I’ve been able to wake up to the sun. This morning I was finally able to. Its a bright beautiful day and I love it, but why is it that I’m not feeling nearly as good as I should with weather as great as today? This is a strange and interesting feeling. I don’t quite know what to make of it. Its an awkward feeling. I’m cold and hollow right now. I kind of don’t know what to do. Now that I think about it, its been a long week. A really effing long week. I need some time to think. About my life. I need to get my life together and put it back on track. I think I’m going to start by taking a nice long shower and just sitting there to think, followed by a nice long drive. We’ll see when I’m back.
