Long time no post..

So I havent posted in a while and I have no excuse, but i'm  going to change that.
Since my last post  alot of different things have happened in STAC. We went to the city, we've been working on dada projects in art and in our own chosen discipline, and in general we've been having fun.
The trip: The trip was so much fun! It was wet and rainy but aside from that I enjoyed it. I think that my favorite parts of the trip were sculpture center and the show. Sculpture center(mainly the first floor) was so interesting, I happen to really like the work that Sanford Biggers put up. The concept of the whole project is really cool too, following slave trade in its reverse order from Portugal to Brasil to Western Africa, I really want to see the other videos that go along with the "Cosmic Voodoo Circus"  the first one is being shown at the Brooklyn Museum of art so maybe i'll go see it  when I get a chance. That show was also really good! It was so funny and the fact that we were so close to the actors themselves made me feel like I was a part of the show. I went to the libaray and took out a book of plays by Eugene O'Neil and i started laughing when I saw all the stage directions in it.
DADA: I'm really excited for the dada expostion, I'm a little nervous though because to me what we're doing doesnt make much sense. I guess I have to wait until it's all put together and then it'll make more sense but for now its just a whole bunch of sounds that dont really go together, but i'm sure it'll be better when its all together.

Elaboration

Okay... so why don't I like STAR TREK? Here's why: I feel that the fact that they used aliens and spaceships to send out a pro gay message  trivializes it to a point where it doesn't matter anymore. Another thing that makes me dislike it  is that the entire premise of the show is stupid to me, granted I still watch cartoons, but I just don't find it at all entertaining.

STAC 2012

I'm really excited for this year! Last year one of my big HUGE problems was my lack of discipline but this year i'm ready to get shit done! I did some growing up over this summer  and I feel like I'm in a much better position to work now that I've actually gotten things done.

So today in STAC we began the year with!......STAR TREK.. I really didn't like it much, the entire idea of the episode was great and so was the acting but the fact that they did it with aliens and gave it such a crappy ending really really irked me.  If Sorrin really loved Commander Riker then she would've gone with him and  they would've been happy together but i still feel like it was a complete and total cop out. Also when Luke said that someone had the idea that a man play Sorrin, I agree, it would've been a much stronger message that way. I believe that people should be able to be with whoever they want in order to live a life that is, in their eyes, happy and fulfilled.
I miss the prisoner so much though! I'd much rather watch that again from the beginning then watch Star trek again. The Prisoner was intelligently directed and wonderfully acted. Every episode was mindbomb after mindbomb and there were times where it got headaches from thinking too much but it was worth it because everything else about the show was so good! I think that we should have a day where we just finish the show for old times sake and I know that others that would agree with me.

But all thoughts on Star Trek aside i feel like this year is going to be very eye opening and fun. I cant wait to meet all the newbies and i'm sure we'll be great friends. Here's to a great year! :)
