It's not an intimidating number, but as usual I'm daunted by it. Birthdays have never been my favorite thing, but I find myself more and more depressed by them as it feels more like another wasted year. My life goals are many and varied, and my attempts at meeting them seem pitiful at best.<br />So here's to a new year. Maybe this will be the one where I wake up from this listless dream and become the person I want to be.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7130695577562755694-1115313260439585449?l=askojec.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lishihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486130398528488507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130695577562755694.post-25823050270924458722010-12-15T18:20:00.000-08:002011-02-28T18:00:37.299-08:00So many dreams never sought after, so many unfulfilled promises made to others, to myself.

It seems to me that this era is a hard time to be an artist, because it's impossible not to feel as if you're recycling someone else's art, someone else's beauty.<br /> It simultaneously seems that all my thoughts have been thought before me, and that no one has ever thought the things I think, the way I think them.<br /><br /> They say the human mind is limitless.... I wonder how long it will be before we find new ways to express beauty, or if we will just continue copying the generations before us. Kendall's humanities teacher last year started the class with the statement, "Art is Dead". When he first told me that, I thought his teacher was crazy, but the more I ponder it the more true I find it. Hopefully, I'm wrong.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7130695577562755694-8648275912487587015?l=askojec.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lishihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486130398528488507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130695577562755694.post-68145863310439598752009-05-22T16:40:00.000-07:002009-05-22T16:41:54.330-07:00I just realized I don't do a lot of color work anymore. I always edit my photos in color and then right at the end convert them to black and white or sepia... I'm not sure why I so prefer my photos without color, but I do. Which do you prefer, why?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7130695577562755694-6814586331043959875?l=askojec.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lishihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486130398528488507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130695577562755694.post-42113684686035778792009-05-19T16:57:00.001-07:002009-05-19T16:58:25.698-07:00I always start blogs and go nowhere with them, but since I've gotten more and more interested in the whole blogging thing and read so many. I figured I would at least have a page people could look at when I comment on their blogs.
