life of a hopeful professional

ok ok, so life is funny sometimes. i truly wonder how i got to where i am, when in reality i need only look back and see the path that brought me to my present location. i have graduated from college... well undergrad, and now i have only to go "wow". i am supposed to know stuff now, and yet... i just don't. it is all a whirlwind of new info and routine tasks that fill my day and i love it. i love every moment. i landed a job at a fantastic museum in salt lake and i continually pinch myself to see if i am dreaming. i thoroughly enjoy, heck, love the people i work with, i find fulfillment in what i do, and i go home happy.. even if a little tired and weary. :o) in all my college time i rarely thought about what it would really be like outside the realm of constant lectures and writing assignments, but now that i am in the midst i find that the real key to success is... finding happiness in whatever and wherever you may be. i loved college- learning, stress, late nights of paper writing, roommate drama, etc. etc. i love working- learning, stress, long days, daunting tasks, etc. etc. you only get one chance at earth life so love every moment.

closing time

while finishing my associates degree at little snow college in ephraim, ut, the library would always play closing time by semisonic when the library was kicking people out for the night. so i find this song appropriate for another semester spent. though i haven't blogged a great deal i have thought more about digital media and how integrated into my life and art it has become. though i would classify myself as a painter, my inspiration comes from life or at least the representation of life as seen in film, the internet, other audio, etc.. all media works towards this total art work, gesamtkunstwerk, if you will. i realize that all this is a jumble of thoughts but it is finals week and let just say i have had less than the desired amount of sleep. so

closing time- time for you to go out, go out into the world.
