OH Tumblr update??? I’m going back to school in the fall after taking a year off.

Pls finish your degrees if you start em, guys. Taking a gap is tight tho, do it if you need to and don’t let people shame you out of it.

While picking up medicine this morning I overheard a pharmacist explaining ATLA to his coworker and let me tell you, it’s surreal to watch someone in scrubs talk about “Prince Zuko’s honor”

June 7th, 1942: Edward Hopper completes his best known painting, the seminal Nighthawks. When asked by a Chicago Tribute reporter about the philosophical meaning behind the diner having no clearly visible exits Hopper responded, “Shit. Fuck. I did it again. Goddamnit. Fuck. Not again. I did it again. Shit.” and slammed his hat on his leg.

See, this is interesting to me.

I notice things in my stuff sometimes, things that I hadn’t intended, connections that I hadn’t been consciously creating.  But the moment of noticing them creates a moment of choice.  What to do with that connection?  Do I ignore it? Do I negate it by changing things so that the connection no longer exists?  Or do I embrace it and run as far and as fast as I can with that connection to see where it takes me?

Generally speaking, I chose to run with it like I’d stolen it.

If an artist has had something happen *multiple times*, as is implied in that quote, without being fully aware of it in a *visual* medium where everything is present for a reason and, generally, by intention, then that seems to me to be a moment where some self-reflection is necessary.

The man’s subconscious is doing that, repeatedly, and with intention.  And he might have needed to take a moment and think about *why* it was happening.  And I wonder if he ever took the time to find out the “why”.
