A Small Update:

Please forgive me for my lack of posts..I do think of Blondunderwater often and how I've slacked off from her.
  I'm unable to finish reading the book The Help..At first I was enjoying it, then slowly I started to become bored and ready to move on.  I can't move on because I am unable to finish. There is a pile of summer reading books that I want to get to.  But I have to finish The Help even if my focus has been shaky.
  My writing has suffered because my math class has had me swimming with numbers. If you know me well, you know that math and I have a bumpy relationship. Math is a subject that should belong in a whole other post. It always, without fail, makes me feel manic.
  Los Angeles has been interesting lately. Sometimes boring, stressful, and leaving me feeling stupid. Most of this isn't the city's fault but rather my headquarters. I'm ready for something new, clean, nothing heavy and something that respects my own personal space. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Until next time,

xoxo

snob,snobbish,snobby, and (my personal favorite) snobbery

By Tina Berning

There's been a recurring theme in my thoughts for the past year and half..Maybe even longer..The theme is snob, snobbish, snobby, and (my personal favorite) snobbery. Yes, at times I can be a huge snob myself, especially when I was in high school, seeking something that I couldn't find yet.  The thing about being a snob is it puts a person in a box, limits one's thoughts and one's ability to grow in a personal and professional way.

Since most of my friends are seeking to be creative successful artists in whatever form that may be, I hear tons of bashing of others' projects and a lack of control on their own. I myself have been hard on others' work, but I'm learning that really gets me nowhere and keeps me staying at square one. The only thing we can really do is try to learn from others even if we don't care too much for their work. It can teach what you want and don't want out of art. Or you could be kind and help them and not make them feel little. We all take our time, to whatever level we want to, on any given day.
