How exciting.

In other other news, I might take some fashion classes next semester.

Holy Crap, I was so excited. :D I mean I still am. haha

But anyway, my internet shut off so i couldnt stream the show for too long

math majors, art majors shouldnt be overstepped.. As artists, we dont just make "pretty pictures", we are activists. Our work spotlights issues in our immediate community and global world. Art is used to evoke emotion from the viewer, whether to upset, delight, explore or to inform. Unfortunately alot of people do not understand the artistic process and think its a bunch of crap... Well its not, art has been used for many purposes through out history and it should not be separated from the human condition.

Art and expression is as much a part of the human as mathematical measure or scientific curiosity.

In the Paleolithic Period it was used to express not only spiritual beliefs, cave paintings provided an illustration of the identifiable 

animal form which was important in the education of Hunters.

Art has also served as an expression of mathematics and the anatomical human form in art in greek statuary. You can see this in Polykleitos statue Doryphoros which was used as a canon in greek and later roman art.

 Artists have also documented significantly important historical events such as the Dacian Wars in the Roman Column of Trajan  c. 112. c.e,

and the Battle of Hastings in the Bayeux Tapestries  c. 1070 c.e.

Art has been used to express human spirituality in all context of religion, from the aniconic, abstract geometric designs in Islamic Art to the Iconic depiction of Christ and the Virgin Mary.

In painting, Art has documented and provided many accurate images of leaders throughout history. Paintings serve as a lens into past worlds and time periods such as the middle ages or renaissance.

<p>St. Matthew of the Lindisfarne Gospels</p>

<p>King Philip IV of Spain</p>

Art has served as a study to the sociologist, it has documented where many societies interchange and adapt different styles of clothing, attitudes and beliefs. Just look at the Singh of Marwar c 1880.

that need to be introduced to something inspiring, something positive and something productive. When were old

these kids are going to be leading our nation whether we like it or not, so we need to help them to understand the

world they live in now, and how they could change it for the better. Education needs to be emphasized, Culture needs to be 

acknowledged, the natural environment needs to be understood. 

With all the knowledge I have gained through experience and a college education I hope to change a life for the better.

order and construct some fantastical form of society based on capitalism. We now more than ever are 

quite removed in a sense from our natural surroundings, we believe that by living in society we are living a 

reality, but this is not the case. Money doesn't exist, money is based on faith. It has evolved from the common

notion of object to object trade. Money is only a measurement, like algebra, or any other human construct.

Gold should not be idolized either, you know why its rare? Throughout history people have been attracted to the characteristics

of its malleability, and the fact that it doesn't Tarnish...So we assigned some symbolic meaning to gold and then used it and exploited it,

especially the spanish and portuguese during the 1500's. Because of Gold and wealth accumulation (Greed), many people were suppressed

such as the Mesoamerican and Andean cultures, not that they were saints either... Those Aztecs liked to tax the hell out of their citizens, and sacrificed many of the people in the lower classes. 

Anyway.. you know what makes me really mad? I took Biology this year and learned some about the natural environment and order, I mean

it was only one semester but I think I've gained more than I actually thought I would. and now Im angry with the way our society is headed. 

Its really disappointing that people can go around parading their flag of ignorance, and absolute disregard of anything that they directly arent interested in. That is the fall and failure of man. When one does not, or refuses to accept to push past the screen of the domesticated lifestyle to see what exists outside of himself. Yeah I know there will be some stuff we cant comprehend, but what is important is that WE LEARN in order to understand how we interact with nature, and within our own society. 

How do we integrate these two? 

We sure as hell shouldnt be allowing oil companies to be drilling in the arctic.  

Its like tearing down a whole forest to build one damn house that wont sell. And because it wont sell, its cheaper to tear it down. Does that make sense? Does it really? 

WHAT THE HELL. were causing our own entropy

Many do not trust a african american politician and many are frightened by his style of politics, but this is common.

We fear what we do not know.

Anyway many and some of these people are organizing by the masses into these so called tea parties in front of the Alamo...

Whether they know the extensive history of the Alamo or the Tea parties in questionable and this also makes it seem that

they are recreating these into symbols off of their face value, which the general public recognizes..........

Many were dressed in Indian costumes....... Really..take off the damn indian suits off, stop yelling and go make a constructive proposition instead of creating a hoopla.. This mass of protesters also became increasingly antagonistic.. something Mark twain would of frowned upon which is illustrated  in the Boggs Sherburn incident in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Man these tea parties, are great for the republicans though, with the crowd all riled up against Obama, they will be able to play off of the heightened emotion and anger many feel towards the current government.... 

You also might wanna check the people leading these organizations... and always attempt with the Socratic method. lol

1. Corporate or Business Affiliations

2. Socioeconomic Status

3. Intentions and goals

4. Educational Background

So I know everyone hates to pay taxes, but come on, stop being so attached to your money and think of the benefits it offers to society.(I know that money is  powerful thing, but we need to be careful to not get OVER indulgent. You dont need excessive amounts of homes...look at John McCain, it obviously causes real estate amnesia.. and we also dont need an amount of automobiles that excessively exceeds the amount of inhabitants in one house hold. Do you really NEED 50 Cars??? or are they merely accessories? and for those who embezzle money... your already at the top of the tier, and your still taking more?? Maybe what you need is a therapist along with some jail time, and a salary cap.)

1. It allows for an advanced nation state, military, and other services... Thats why we got RID of the articles of Confederation and established the constitution.....

2. Public works programs

3. allow for a broad basis to fund wars, and pay troops. So for those people complaining about how liberals dont support the troops, uh we all do financially, and if you dont want to pay your taxes then YOUR unpatriotic...

4. Any educated person understands the taxation system and knows its benefits and flaws.

I know its an outrage to hear about these wallstreet financiers and large multimillionaire embezzlements, but thats due to lax restrictions and minimal oversight and general politics. But I think its much more constructive to make an effort to be educated on these matters, not only in a contemporary light but a historical sight on a worldly level... You have a much broader pallet to work with when constructing an argument, and it just might even make sense... 

So please tea  parties, stop hootin and hollerin your independence, guns and absolute freedoms, because there is no absolute freedom within a society or group of people. if you want absolute freedom, mars is totally open.

I mean really. does money bring happiness? or is happiness found in consumption?

Buy Buy Buy. Maybe we need to stop focusing on the material, and commercial and start to focus on personal development and a new sense of self satisfaction and happiness.. 

Materialistic worlds are often quite cold and artificial, Gilded, Gold plating on the outside, base metal on the inside.
