I am listening "Mean Low Water" by 65daysofstatic, and I was watching that video, but I hadn't turned off the music, and it synced up rather nicely and fit together for a bit. :amaze:

Let me know if you want the whole album.

I notice that none of you looked at my myspace..

hey brad, do you know if the local buses run at night?like, say, around 10pm or 12am? for future reference, because lately i've been hearing mixed answers to this.

No clue. I am up in Murrieta/Temecula, all we have is the RTA and those barely even run. I think they close at 7 or 8 for us.

Local buses generally run all night in cities, and, in towns, close atvarying degrees of lateness depending on the size of said town.

hmmmm
because i'm think like, buses going from downtown into poway (suburb) or from La Jolla into poway. because downtown and La Jolla are both big enough, maybe, for later buses, but buses going from those into poway is very questionable. because i know the suburban buses here close at like 7. but city->suburb is what's making me wonder.

suburbs, maybe not. They'd run at longer intervals at night as well.

eugh, bummer.

Go check the web, I'm sure they'll have sites by now. Calgary Public Transport does.

Anyway, I'm hitting the sack, need to go look at art tomorrow. I'll take pictures, because I think you'll like these paintings Brad.

Night all.

Yeah, busses here run until like 3AM in Portland, but, once 10PM rolls around, most busses to all surrounding cities and suburbs stop.

MAX stops running at about 2AM as well.

howdy all :wave:

Apparently you can't hotlink off of Deviant...

High school was good for free time. :\

High school was good for socialising and then dropping out.

Woo!

My mom wouldn't let me drop out or test out. :\

My mum, teachers, and counselors were all backing me with my decision to drop out. They just kept telling me that I needed to move on with my life, and that I was far too smart for high school. I was afraid to drop out, though, but then I just went for it. I am at a community college now earning a state high school diploma, and then I am knocking out my two years of community college at the same time.

I really only need to be there a couple months, though, to finish up my credits for a diploma since I entered the programme with like 17 credits, and I need 22.

I have decided that I am going to become a doctor.

That is going to be so much schooling.

High school = joke
University = expensive joke

Uni = expensive, but I will graduate with a six-figure a year job. :p

Typical university students = joke.
I don't know I hate most of the students, but if you show interest the teacher will show you repsect... at the cost of alienating yourself from the rest of the class. :p

I already alienate myself from the rest of the class. :lol: I have absolutely no friends where I live at currently. I just moved here a month ago, and it is still a growing and developing area, but there aren't many kids here my age that take interest in the same things that I do. All of my good friends live back in Beaverton, which is about forty-five minutes away from where I live now.

I also stopped hanging out with the "scene" in Portland, and I wear normal d00d clothes now, so, I guess, I am not cool anymore. :p

I also don't party as much as I used to, and that was when I would meet up with everyone that I hung out with for the most part.

Oh well.

More time to earn good grades and become a better musician.

Bah, i'm a useless university student.

I know I am, i don't try and I don't take it too seriously.

I still hate how everyone just goes to Uni for a better job.
I like learning, that's why I'm there.
Screw testing my as[FONT="Arial"]s[/FONT].

I am pretty much in PA's shoes, but sans doctorate path.

I was going to go to school to major in music, but then I looked at the possibilities of that and wondered.

Then I opted to become a doctor. I just need to somehow rid myself of my fear of needles. I love that I can deal with amputations, squirting blood, falling out guts, but I can't deal with the sight of a needle. :lol:

I haven't decided what field I would like to go into, though, and I haven't decided if I am going to become a specialist or not, which I probably will be.

What are you majoring in?

Absolutely nothing.

101 courses ftw. I'm really there to soak up as much knowledge as I can.
Then maybe decide what I want to do with my life.

Art.
<Nelson>Ha-ha</Nelson>
I currently have an emphasis on graphic design, but I am looking to break over into fine art. So I am thinking about taking a sabbatical to just shack up in my room for a semester and just paint, plaint, paint. Then visit museums and **** for inspiration (that's where the bike and roadtrip come in)

EDIT: To Clown

Are you a freshman?

Screwing around the first year to decide what you want to do is where it is at.

What you want to do is take classes that you are interested, classes that you think you would find interesting, and then a class that you wouldn't ever think of taking just for the hell of it.

Then, if your workload turns out to be too great in one of the classes that you actually want, you can drop the "for fun" class. :p

In my opinion, I just think majoring in art would be entirely pointless. No offence, though.

It just seems like one of those degrees that you can earn because you love, love, love what you are doing, but, once you make it outside of school, it just has no real application unless you are going to become a gallery moderator or something of the sort.

Yeah I'm a freshy.

That's my main plan, once the program I'm in is done (Computer related: programming, photoshop) I'll be taking alot of 101 courses. I.E. my second year.

This year my electives have been, crim101, psych101, the third one i'm still deciding.

In reality, if my job could get me through the rest of my life, i'd be happy.

Just go to school to learn.
I like learning, just not the fact that you NEED to be tested on it.
Pretty much bullsh[FONT="Arial"]i[/FONT]t.

Graphic design is huge, but I can see the point of fine art being in vain. It would probably be some sort of double major. Two or three arts and English or something.

I wouldn't mind teaching, but I do want to try being a freelance artist once.

The testing signifies the teacher that you have actually retained the knowledge that you are taught; therefore, you are proving to the teacher that your brain is a sponge, or you just study quite a bit. :p

Yeah, I understand that graphic design is huge. I wanted to do that for a while, but then dropped the entire idea.

Doing things like painting, though, is not.

I thought about teaching, but, if I taught anything, it would be music, and I would want to do it at a uni level. I can't stand kids in high school and lower.

Yeah graphic design is probably the fastest growing profession around.

Every company needs a webpage, its a standard now.
Can the current employees make it? Nope.
So they hire someone to do easy work and get paid well for it.

The problem with the field is you have a bunch of n00bs occupying space because they think it's easy, so there is little room for those with the drive, etc.

Painting would be a hard dollar to turn, but I think it's something you could be proud of doing at the end of the day.

My studying habits include 2 days before or later. I procrastonate projects and assignment untill the last minute.

Ex: I have a term paper due on tuesday, havn't started it yet. ^_^

As with any art, your final product should always make you proud of your accomplishments.

I'm not going into interactive design, I lack the drive for that work.
I hate thinking about the future of my life. Brings too much pressure.
Perhaps from my parents. I'm a pretty smart guy, I'm just exceptionally lazy.
My parents know this and still push me. Perhaps the only reason why I'm still in school.

Honestly, when I think about my future and the direction it could possibly go, it scares me more than anything.

Yeah, it's scary ****.

It is just that I want to be well off when it is time for me to settle down, buy a house, become married, have kids, etc.

I don't want to be struggling all the time.

I think--out of everything in the future--that is what scares me the most. Struggling, ultimately, just sucks. :(

[QUOTE=Pluperfect_Arson;13524171]Honestly, when I think about my future and the direction it could possibly go, it scares me more than anything.[/QUOTE]

Exactly.
The thought churns my stomach.

Everyone at works asks me what I want to do with my life.
I always just roll my eyes and say that I don't know.

I need another beer.
YAY for after work brewskies. :chug:

I dunno, you don't need much to get by imo.

You don't need much to get by.

But I think he has the idea of the stereotypical family setting.

House, kids, wife, suburb, etc.

Wich is kinda where I want my life to head.
