Apologies

First off. After considering (I did, honest, of cause I did, why wouldn't I? Don't you believe me? I honestly, hand on my heart, considered each and every individuals comment. Honestly) the comments on the previous three posts about this previously unnamed puppy, we've decided to call him Wilson.

I apologise I know it's not everyone's cup of rosey lee but there was some confliction about the name Dexter, right from the fact that it was adopted from the first name of a fictional serial killer.

I hope you'll forgive me for not posting in a while as on top of all the Art and Key Skills work I suddenly have to do I've had to stop Wilson from eating/urinating on/jumping off/drowning in/obliterating everything that he comes across, including people so hopefully you'll understand. No pictures yet as I'm still cameraless and phone-screenless so yeah, I guess I'm sorry for that as well.

Apologies over. Now let's talk about my future.
Art is a bastard. A big bastarding knobhead that's been getting on my tits. I suddenly admire all of you that didn't take it, which at the moment I think is everyone. First of all, it's just not art. art is about distorting someone's perception of the world, it comes in the whatever form the artist imagines it to come in. Any attempt to apply structure or logic to it is pointless, it's a spontaneous vision that is entirely unique and it can come when it's ready. It's not other people's work and it's not just things that look pretty and it's not experimentation with different forms and styles, it's not development of ideas. Methods of art can be taught in a school but art itself is taught only by the world.
Which puts me in a bit of a pickle.
All of this sounds like an excuse from my, let's face it, crap art but I assure you that is only partially true.
So what to do?
I want 3 and a half A levels by the end of school. I could get by with 2 and it's pretty much a given that these would be English and Media, I just want to be safe. So I'm shooting for half a Spanish next year and I know that I've already failed Art and don't intead on taking it next year (see rant above). Do I take something else? Brace myself and take it anyway? Take nothing instead? Any other subject would be a half and it would probably be in college, if I could take Politics or Philosophy that would be good and I know I'd do well in Graphics. Then, will my grades be good enough for a Journalism course? As it happens, this is all of what I put as the answer to the problem solving exercise about what to do after leaving Year 13, except this has slightly less explecitives.

Another thing I don't like: Being known as a 'creative sort'. It's a stereotype and it suggests that I can't do anything useful. Which is particularly fustrating because it's absolutely true. Maybe I should take less creative subjects.

Another apology for just how dull this blog was, even after taking so long to post. I'll make a much more exciting one next time probably containing various jokes about nuns and Scientologists. But for now this'll have to do and I'll just apply some ironic tags.
