Okay I guess its fun if I post my opinions and views becuase it really is therapeutic and de-stressing. Hah! okay here's what I want to talk about. First of I talked to this girl whose in Art school at NSCAD and I asked her one time if she had a deviant art. She said in her "artsy student type of way" that "Qoute" She does not believe in it "Unqoute"Okay so what exactly does she not believe in Deviantart art. That's a pretty vague answer. I suppose its out of pride as she considers Deviantart a poor outlet for the Fine Arts simple becuase she herself found her own outlet at NSCAD. Now I bet she wouldn't be saying that if she was not in NSCAD. And second of all Deviantart showcases some of the greatest pieces I have seen. Pieces that to me seem way more thoughtful and more beautiful than ones I've seen in an Art gallery. Plus most of these artists here are art students as well. And what I've seen at NSCAD pale to comparison to the ones I've seen here.I'm not defaming this girl but to me she seems way to stuck up to see that Deviantart is just as professional as any Art produced by Art universities.Okay and there's another thing. I hate it when someone asks me a question like, "Why do you want to go to Art school?" It annoys me to the very core, particulary becuase I take it personally since an individual like me who has a deep passion for the arts.This questions are ones in particular that are hard to answer for me becuase no particular answer said verbally can fully express it. Its like answering the question, "Why do you believe in God?" And answers such as, "Becuase I want" just doesn't cut it, or "becuase he keeps me company" is much closer but doesn't really capture the intention. So why should I go to art school? and I answer Why not? I deserve it as much as most of the students there. Probably I deserve it more than them.

But I'm not all gloom and doom, something good happened to me and here they are,

1) I got an A in a subject that I had a mental breakdown in. 2) I finally made friends with an Acquaintance who I always had some sense of awkwardness with.
3) I got a job and its almost christmas time
and finally: *drum roll*

MY PARENT'S SAID I COULD GO TO NSCAD AFTER I GRADUATE! which is much sooner mind you. Namely April 2010!

My mom said the following,

"Marlon Don't ask me for a christmas gift this year becuase your christmas Gift will be NSCAD! and Yes you will go!"

So pray for me guys that I'll be there soon!
And thanks so much to all my friends here who've consoled me here!
