King Friday - now with more resolutionsDecember 29th, 2006 @ 5:43 pm
most of you dont know much about the king other than the fact that he is opinionated to a fault, and not an extremely attractive individual. (i am skinny, so i guess i got that going for me.) what you may not know is that the king studied art in college. i was a business major for about 10 minutes before i realized that taking over the world was possible by other means.
actually, i made the change after getting some good advice. i got lots of good advice during college. i was around a bunch of smart people. here’s what i learned:
- never, ever move somewhere because of a girl. the world is at least 50% girls, and you can always find one where you are. so go where you want to go, and be where you want to be. but dont follow a girl around. just dont.
- dont waste your short time in college trying to prepare for a career. do what you want to do. learn how to learn and be a better person. then figure out how to make a living when you get finished.
that’s about all i remember. so, following piece of advice #2, i did art in school. it wasn’t as easy as you think.
skip forward enough years to pay off my student loans, and we’re at today. i dont have an art job. there’s not really any such thing. but i do make art. secretly. i have big plans in 2007, and you may even hear about them now and then. i’m gonna devote more time to this and really get out there and get seen. a seven nation army couldn’t hold me back. i’ll be out there. maybe even in your city.
that’s my new year’s resolution.

had Isabel followed advice #1 (except sub in “boy” for “girl”) then you would not be married to her! so…….girls are supposed to follow boys but not vice versa?

Janet: I was just thinking the same thing! Good thing Isabel was more open-minded!

When I picture you “making art secretly” I picture you in a dark basement sneaking around an easel with unknowing Isabel upstairs. When she asks, “what are you doing down there?” You’re all, “Oh, nothing, Honey. Just go back to whatever you were doing. Don’t mind me.” And it’s dark with a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling. And you jump when you hear footsteps cause somebody might be coming downstairs to discover your secret art.

secret art is my favorite art! I am a huge proponent for having fun in school, as well. Business major? who cares about being employable, I had Christmas gifts for YEARS from art school!
