So aside from the blog I did earlier today, I haven't done a blog in a long time, which is always the story when I come to blog. Another thing I haven't done in a long time is draw and and make great art! I have the artistic urge today! So what to draw? Well I would love to draw but I would really like to do something with cool programs on a computer that involve photoshop, flash, possibly a macbook and youtube!!! (Youtube because I would love feed back, so maybe a video camera too) But of all those things I only have youtube.
I want inspiration, it's true. I want to do something exciting a new but since all I have is a sketchbook I will use this. Yes, it is time to draw after the artistic fast of a new semester! I want to draw a story but I will finish one that I have already started first. And one last thing. My media arts teacher had to do some lecture about Pablo Picasso. I was very tired that day and so when he was talking it probably looked as if I was sleeping, but in fact, as I am with most artists that I'm taught about in school, I was quite interested. As most people, I assume, you've heard this guy's name a million times. Well I thought he was some old guy artist, and in a way he kind of is because he died before I was born, but in the history of famous artists he's quite recent (October 25, 1881 - April 8, 1973). This guy is like the father of abstraction and I like some of that stuff. Especially graffiti out of it all, I think graffiti is considered a type of abstract... so sweet stuff.
And one more thing, just as this is very recent, as in within the hour, the guy sander79 on youtube makes professional animations like claymations, and he just put another one up like now that I just watched. See ya!

A Mac: Oh How I Want One (my recent thoughts about computers)
Oh good people of this blogging community who never read my blogs....
Things have been happening, so I will say the following as a person of French nationality might say: "Je vais vous racontez l'histoire de se mois passé". Or in in other words, I'll tell you what's happened this past month.
Sometime near the beginning of the month, this obsession of macs began in me. I'm saving up for a Macbook now but it's kind of expensive. I think it's worth it. Having read most of what there is to read and watch videos about them the obession has died down a bit. When the Macbook Air came out on maybe the 15th or something like that I drew a great picture of it, almost like the real thing. That thing isn't for me, but for the wireless community. And even though it isn't for me I think in maybe 5 years most computers will be like it. Good job Apple, you've made a revolutionary computer again!
One of the things that has drawn me to these beautiful things, not that they're worth praising compared with many other things, is the iLife program. That looks sweet! And of the iLife programs I was most interested in the iMovie program because lately I've been spending a lot of time on youtube. And youtube is a really great website for the most part. There's something for everyone and for me there's a lot, if I only had the right stuff to make the videos. Well hello Macbook and iMovie, you're just what I need. I think I may have briefly mentioned yesterday that the user Mattg124 has inspired me to make video blogs, aka vlogs. Too bad my PC doesn't have a built in camera... His videos make the most everyday things interesting, and that's cool. Before I go on I'd like to mention one more thing about video blogging and why it interests me, so here it is: not that these types of websites aren't good, but it would be if a few people actually watched them and became interested in my life, maybe subcribed and followed up on what you're up to. If you think that's too much or you don't like the idea, than don't get in on it. Also, one last thing I like about vlogging, is that you get a glimpse of the person personality, what they're about and whether they're worth respecting. One person on youtube that is passionate about what the vblogging community could be is Renetto, if you're interested. He calls it the revolution I think.
This is becoming long but I guess that's ok. Another thing I'd love to do if I had iMovie is make short animations, that interestests me! I love Disney/Pixar movies, the ones that are all done digitally. Every time I get one for Christmas or something, I'll always watch the director's commentaries and other things like that about the movie in the bonus features. That's just the way I am. And there's a couple reasons why I like animation movies: First, they involve art, I love art. Second, Pixar's movies are usually well done in every aspect. My favourite so far is Ratatouille, I wouldn't be surprised if I've mentioned it before in some other blog. (By the they use Macs to make those movies, just so you know). I'm taking a media arts course next semester, maybe we'll get a little bit in to that stuff hopefully. Maybe I'll try some stop motion.
This whole time I thought I didn't even have any kind of movie program on my dumb PC, well maybe I shouldn't say that. I am grateful that I have it and I'm sure that lots of people would enjoy having what I have if they could afford it. But anyways, it saddened me every time I ever dreamed of making a movie. Just this morning however, I accidentally discovered that I do have a movie maker program. It doesn't do much. I guess it's the basic thing, but it's much better than having nothing! I can't upload videos because I don't have a camera. But I today I posted my very first videos on youtube tube ever! Just a song with one picture, for each of them. There's nothing to them, but I prefer them that simple if a person doesn't actually have the music video for it, or something just as worth while. The exciting thing is that after just a few hours a couple people have already started to view them! Aside from the obvious thing, that this program is not iMovie, one downer for me is that my music is all on iTunes and so when I wanted to put a song on youtube, I had to wait for one of my CDs to be ripped on to the Windows media player, which I am not a fan of. Whatever, this is good enough for me until that distant time when I get a mac.
So if you're reading this, by chance, and are wondering what those videos are on youtube that I posted, just look up basschic40, which is my user name. Yeah and then you can watch them.
Now you may also be thinking, "you're not talking about what's happened the last month, you're just talking about you're stupid computer obsession". Well for you who are thinking that, that's what has been on my mind lately. Thanks for reading guys, later.
