Welcome to uni. where you may access anything you may need.

I would like to start this post by saying that I think the Cover picture I did this time is freakin mint. It was unbelievably easy to do. All you need to do is be incompetent with cameras, and fairly confident with flash. Tada.

This week at uni has gone real quick. A whole new range of experiences has come out of it all. Drawing for designers. Man, its really given me a flow now, that I never had before. We're doing gesture drawing at the moment. I'm sure Phil could give you the entire history of it. But pretty much its getting the essence of a figure. Your not drawing a person, but an object in space, and it all flows. Its quite fun, and it makes the most novice of drawers experts. Because now they aren't held down by fiddly details. It took me a while to get my groove on, starting with some worrying results. But Its all G now. I hope its what Kura (Our teacher) is after. Cause if it isn't I'm screwed. Ha ha.

Critical studies, lectures, was fun. I'm suprised that the "There is no absolute truth" popped up so quickly. But it was fun to muck with, because (As I said to our lecturer in my smart ass type fashion) If there is no absolute truth, and that statement is absolutely true, then it cancels itself out. I'm not sure the guy was into the philosophy at all either really, just teaching it to us for a different point of view. But meh, twas fun.

I think its design for designers, or whatever, is gonna be the most difficult. Our assignment is called "Book Of Days." its all to do with typography etc. And it has to be themed around our name, which sounds like something they would do at primary school. I'm pretty sure Kura (Same one from life drawing) is using us as an experiment in creativity, by not giving us much details.  Frustrating, and a bit of pressure, but hopefully we will all yeald good results.

Mac lab.. Psh, pimps, the assignment is the soonest, we have to fuse 5 pictures together with photoshop to make a colage.. Ok the spell check isn't working. Don't use google chrome people, it sucks ass.

Me and Matt are gonna sneak out some night and take photos of junk. Should be mean fun.

I also notice I drift a lot. hmmm.

I would now like to take some time out with a short study of some graffiti. Notice this first example, the green, badly written one at the top. "All taggers are gay" written by someone who obviously hasn't done graffiti before and who obviously doesn't see the irony in what they have just done.

These following pictures are typical of what can be found on walls infested with graff. And it doesn't help their case in defending themselves from any possible accusation with gayness. 

If you start to grow an obsessen for drawing over inflated penises I suggest you change your meds and seek a health proffesional. This last one I just threw up because it looks cool.

oh.. I see now.

I went to the orientation day at Massey university today.. Yea it was ok. Yea, I have seen all the movies, university is that place where you get hammered every day, and have lots of "fun" and stuff. I didn't know that was actually a cliche based on facts! Its so in your face. I asked this chick what she had been doing for the past week (Shes staying on campus) and she told me that she had drunk every night. Yay. I haven't seen someone so proud about trying to pickle their kidneys before. And our uniguide Oscar was telling us how he was naked almost the whole time on his first year on 0 week. Everyones buying tickets for the pub crawl and the various stuff going down at the on campus bar. I might be a bit more forgiving of that if all the bands weren't hip hop.

In general I found it a wee bit awkward, I'm not going to describe the various groups I have made boxes for because then you would really know how Narcissistic I really am.

Keep on rockin', Hopefully monday will give me a more optimistic outlook.

P.s. I'm actually pumped for the course. Do not be worried about that.

Such is life

Haven’t posted in a while. Stuff has happened. Heh. STUFF. Hate that word at the moment. Spotlight by Mute Math on the other hand is an awesome song. Check it out. Anyway, did our talk about Phili yesterday. I was gonna do a song but we ran outa time. It would have been good, but I’m sorta glad it stopped there. Heh, yesterday was actually really good. I’ll step you through it. Guaranteed to make you Lol at least once. Me, Phil, Sarah (omgOSH), Zara, Aimee, and Margret were doing a panel like thing. Zara was describing manila “Its just like a big concrete… Big concrete.” I whisper “Donut” “Thanks Izak, Yea, a big concrete donut.” I got a kick out of it, even if no one else did, im just rolling around on my seat as the interview continues.

Flip forwards a bit, I’m talking to the new gappers after church. Wow, their good kids. ha ha. Unlike the ‘08 crew. We were bad asses. Sneaking out. Causing havoc. Getting together. And then getting untogether later. =(

But anyway, their going to the cascades and they say I gotta go.  I was like “Dude, Robby come on man we gotta go.. Please.” he got work off that afternoon to  hang out. So we jump in his car. On his restricted, and me on my non licence. “Ok Izak, If we get pulled up by cops you have to pretend to be drunk so I can say I’m just doing the right thing and driving you home.” “Hmm, You have done this before I see.”

So we don’t really know the way to the cascades. His dad told him to go towards his nans place, but not. Sounds like surfer logic to me.  Were driving along and he goes “Oh crap, were on the wrong side of the tracks were meant to be over there!” Then turns to look down the road again “WOA A COP ACT NATURAL.” I snap into my guilty blank face and Robby bounces up and down on his seat grinning like a maniac with his eyes closed.
I’m surprised he couldn’t hear us screaming to be honest.

Anyway, we get up into the waitakeres and then take the wrong turn, going to the opposite entrance to the dam. We pull up to this hiker who’s getting ready to do his thing. “Hi, excuse me, do you know where the falls are?” “Yea mate,” Pointing across the

road “There’s a sign, start there.” “Oh ok, cheers.” then we go hooning off, I see the sign he was gesturing at ‘Fairy falls’ “Those are the wrong falls the lier! Oh wait, I just realized, he probably thinks were eggs for driving right past the entrance. Hope he doesn’t jump in his car, chase us for a while “No we don’t want to go to those falls!” “Yes let me help you!” Then goes smashing into the side of us to disable our car so he can help us whether we like it or not. “You have to go this way! Your going the wrong way! Let me help you!” “Unhand me!” ” Phew. That was all just a messed up fantasy. But hilarious at the time. We eventually made it to the gappers. We walked to the falls and I was egging Robby to dive in. I eventually said I would do it if he did. I jumped in with my dickies on. Come to think of it, that’s probably why I was having trouble staying on the surface. I took my hat into its second waterfall. Gotta love that old thing. It got personality. Ever since it got acid rain from phili on it and started to bleach it. That waterfall was so friggin cold my limbs were all seizing up. But it was good. Its the first time I have swum there.

Later on the gappers booted a wasps nest and the golf course got filled with wasps, demanding to know what happened to their crib. This freaked Robby out far to much. I told him not to struggle, but he insisted on flailing his arms around hitting every point wasp he could.

The moral of this post is as follows. Mute Math still rule, even if they do a song for tWHYlight.
Robby is freakin hilarious to hang out with.
And dickies dry surprisingly fast for jeans.

Doesn't he look like a jerk?

The end and the start

A song for the first and the last

The end of many things change a lot of things
bring me back the delorian
February first, may it stick in my mind,
This day Sarah will leave us behind
The begining of the fourth headspace,
I still yearn for the third, what a disgrace,
Both I will memorize the memorys that I chase,
But In the end I guess I'll just have to face,
The bitterness of time that leaves a taint.
(Whats up with Mark and "mate")
The end of many things change a lot of things
bring me back the delorian
looking at constellations upside down
walking the streets and stalking the town
why do I get nostaligic about the last two years
before the last two years have passed?
The end of many things change a lot of things
bring me back the delorian



On a side note, I have been staring at this mint piece on K road by thisisrabbit for about a week.
