Blog

Blogger was broken for a week and then after that kind of fell out of touch. To those who actually check my blog – sorry for the lapse in time.

The new A Perfect Circle album is really good. Makes me want to make music again.

Looking for a live-in studio space in Gastown or the Lower Eastside. Needs to be expansive and inexpensive. Trying to make art and music and design in a two bedroom appartment has had it’s day. Need more space to fly.

My external hard drive gave up the ghost. Superblock is fucked and there goes 6 months of data from school, recording and other projects. Feels kind of refreshing to wipe away the past and only concern myself with what lies ahead – namely, designing some things worthy of inclusion in a portfolio project due sometime in April 2005.

Blue candycanes are good. Remind me of being a child and eating those candycane-like candy sticks sold in glass jars, the highlight of going shopping with my mom.

Found a stash on a BCIT server of 197 movies and most importantly, thirty episodes of Twin Peaks with Swedish subtitles.

Auditioned today at a cast call for an upcoming BC reality show called Kick Butt…. following the chronicles of 5 people trying to quit smoking. I think I will be in it. The chances are high. oh yeah – i guess i have to try to quit smoking if i get on. shit….

i’m starting to piss myself off…

again.

i wanted to run away with you.

we both have always dreamed that

in a tropical climate away from here

we could be happy – be together.

but here stays the same

regardless of time or space.

and always when it bores me

my perspective convinces me to stay.

i spin in circles.

find comfort in the predictability

of spirals + spiralling.

Up early on a Saturday. It’s my mom’s birthday today. Having lunch with the whole fam. Gotta go pickup a cake and flowers before i go.

B slept over last night. I miss sleeping with someone. She looks so healthy and gorgeous. Couldn’t stop touching her skin.

Got the new Prodigy album at “the store”. When i listened to it before it sounded really comercialized. I guess it sort of is, but a few of the tracks are tight.

exerpts from my talk with Cube…

i never have anything to say to people.

cause they usually don’t understand.

need to meet more drug addicted, computer obsessed people.

all i ever have to talk about is how shitty i really feel or how to do X in whatever language i’m working with… ActionScript, Lingo and lately,MySQL and PHP.

yeah. i mean… well, it’s complicated. i’m sure i’ll write about it in my blog.

I was at my old room-mate’s house a few days ago and found this looking through our old pictures… just reminiscing… i wonder what happened to that hat.

Spent all night reading an article on PHP & MySQL. Installed MySQL server on my PowerBook and after setting a root password got myself locked out…

Smoked a bunch of cigarettes, ate some cookies.

Tomorrow night, B gets out of treatment for the weekend and she’s coming here to stay over. Super excited to see her. Haven’t gotten laid since she went in. Gonna fuck like bunnies in Spring…. if that’s when they fuck a lot. Who knows?

Listening to a lot of Aesop Rock lately. wicked wicked.

Just set up my first active blog. Hopefully this will end up not sucking. Maybe i should inroduce myself….

I’m a 20 year old artist named Nokin. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I’m not really sure how or when I became an “artist”. I consider it a life philosophy and lifestyle more than anything else… going back as far as i can remember. This title was made legitimate since i started showing my work (the manifestation of my thoughts and feelings) publicly, both in galleries and online.

I spend the majority of my life these days on my computer. I am currently in a New Media program at BCIT, which requires i spend a lot of time building and designing things for the web.

K, enough for now.
