I haven't been writing in here often because I don't do much on any computer anymore.
I just read Frankl's _Man's_Search_for_Meaning_. I highly suggest it, it's very interesting. The majority of the book is about the author's experience in a concentration camp for the 3 years he stayed in one. From this experience, the psychotherapist Frankl created a method of existential therapy for neurosis of various kinds. It's really interesting and fairly practical.
Anyway... I think I might be able to take photographs of my work and be able to show them online soon. My father blew an enormous amount of money on a digital camara, and I'm going to steal it for a bit to get my art online.
I'm dropping my philosophy second major (30 hrs) for just the minor (a completed 18 hrs). I'm really looking forward to making better paintings in the future using the symbols I've been learning through kabbalah. I think it adds a whole new dimension to my work, although my teacher thinks I'm a horror when it comes to the amount I care about my work.
Honestly, a person's work of the past isn't worth as much as his work of the future is. It's about growth, and once finished, it's rather crap.
Anyway... farewell and be well, my friends.
P.S. An update on the Anti-Chris: She's driven all of her friends away from her and she blames everyone but herself for that, and it's only herself that she can really blame. No one wants to be around her anymore and she wonders why when I told her the result of her actions long ago. I hate saying, "I told you so," but she has to learn one way or the other.
P.P.S. I hope this shit in Afghanistan ends soon, it can only bring more horror and destruction; and, although I think I'm going to be the one to get through it, it is going to be sad to live without those I care about in my life now.
I guess we just have to do what it is we must.
Chris the Abject
