Sidetracked
Shortly after registering for LiveJournal (thanks Shirley for reminding me), I’m confronted by this self introduction field. I started writing but sidetracked. It’s not a good bio. But can’t waste a bad piece of writing, so I’ll put it here as my first offical entry.
I’m an UBC Engineering student doing internship in Japan. Japan is wonderful but I’m sitting in my room watching an old Christmas movie on my TV right now. It’s so touching. But actually it’s an cheesy hollywood movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. And yes, I had to look up how to spell his name. The Google search that gave me the answer: “arnold governor of california” Okay I’m not going to use this as my bio anymore. It’s getting too off topic. Gotta be in an entry.
I can’t believe I just saw a TV commercial involving chickies crossing the street with race car engine sounds playing in the background. Whats the point? It even looked cheap. But the reason that it caught my attention is because few months ago when I borrowed a drawing tablet from steve, I drew the exact situation onto a digital painting. Chickies crossing the street. But in my drawing, one chickie got ran over by a car and got stuck on the tire. [WARNING DISTURBING DRAWING]
I sent the drawing out and asked for feedback. But no one really said anything, except Steve, which I think is just being nice. Through email its probably okay, but if i were to show it to the lunch table in person, and ask “whadayathink” , and then everyone just look down to their food and don’t really say anything, that might prompt me to rethink my purpose of drawing this.
So what’s my purpose for drawing the sad picture? I didn’t think it’s sad. I was even laughing at it as i was drawing it. shit happens in this world. so why is it funny? I can’t answer that. I don’t think it’s funny anymore. I’m sure everyone has had this experience. you look back into your memory at something that you’ve done, and you cannot comprehend why you did it. the current “you” does not even approve it.
