Not everyone gets pooped on by pigeons every day. I am one of the few who has not gone through the traumatic experience, only one to witness it.. several times. Afterwards I feel like how C felt in A Bronx Tale when he realized Sonny saved his life from taking him out of the car with his friends. Totally different scenario, but I feel lucky. Had I moved over a couple inches, I would have been the target.

Off topic. Okay. Inspiration hits as randomly as the situation portrayed in the title of this post. Some find it with every step they take, others must search under rocks. It is different for everyone. Honestly, I feel like it has nothing to do whether or not you are artistically minded. It might help. If you just look hard enough around you and learn to appreciate everything for what it is you will find it.

Now for the reason behind this inspiration topic, emails. I have recieved several throughout the past months and loads in the past three weeks asking me how I get ideas. The equation is (percieve + analyze)/(appreciation) = inspiration. Haha. Truthfully it is. If you can do the first two and appreciate everything for its unique state then you will be fine. It is a skill that you must perfect but worth it.

With that I leave you with places that I find inspiration in online. Blogs, forums, magazines, etc. Hope this helps the people that have asked. In no way am I directly affiliated with any of these websites.

I couldn’t see my website this weekend? Wierd. I could access everything else like my Wordpress and FTP programs though? Anyways  a new theme is coming. Coding it tomorrow after class, after homework and on Wednesday. It will be a two day project fer sure. I was trying to do the theme first but then what happened was that it said something did not exist on my page, so I had to delete the revamp page I had up to see if some things worked. COMPLICATED. I know. I will stop talking about it.

It is 1:03am, no early class tomorrow. Psyched. Sorry that her tutor displaced her knee. OUCH! But that means I get 2 hours more sleep. During one of my two classes, I am going to try to start on coding ideas. Need to come of with some new and exciting things. Plus it makes decisions quicker once I pull up notepad.

Uhm.. oh yeah. My last entry was up for like a day before I put up that Gaga sign about the revamp. I have been working on the vamping up part! Got tons more stuff for the portfolio. Learned new things to make tutorials for thanks to my photoshop class. Taking down the shop. Sorry no more time for it anymore! Will be setting up the subdomain for graphic design requests, but I am still trying to figure out a way to make it so I can inform people of days I can not do any? Like I don’t want to post up my class schedule or nights I go out haha, but something. So people can see why I am taking long to respond back?

Besides that, still have school. Loads of work. But for once I love it. I am currently studying fashion, for those that do not know at London College of Fashion for the year. Yeah, that intro thingy on the side is def wrong. Need to update haha. There is nothing “academic” about it. I love it. Except one thing. This does not have to do with fashion, but I have a yearning to do math all of a sudden? Like english whatevs. I can write an essay on anything any day. Look at the notes section on my iTouch. But math?! It has gotten to the point. When I can not get rid of this craving, I look up algebra problems to do. I would do precal too, but haa don’t have a graphing calculator! Sad though. I must have no life OR maybe my high school prepared me too well?

p.s. To my affiliates!! Sorry for the abrupt hiatus I took, tell me how you’re doing in a comment :]

/*EDIT*/ I put this Nicki theme up already. Tweaks are done. Opinions? Adding pieces to the portfolio in graphic, mixed media, maybe illustration. Took the shop down. Music is up. Think that’s it. Starting next entry will be changing the blog up a bit.
