I have been making revisions to my previous idea/post. I have a wonderful plan in the works and the only thing I will tell you about it is the name: Project Smile. Sounds lame I know but it fits so well. I will for the month of April stick to what I previously said I would do in the previous blog but around the middle of April I will post my plan for this project. Hopefully it will be glorious and I can get people to participate in it with me. We shall see what happens.
Until Next time
Much Love
Joey.

Idea...
Taking a break from my work I came up with a project for myself. I was thinking what does this world need? The answer: The world needs more smiles. Then I had to think of something I love to do and am good at, which is origami. From there I thought of this book I saw one day at the library called Knit Bombing (I think) about people who go around knitting on different things like trees, benches, lamp posts, this of the sort. So I decided to take that idea and use it.
And so this idea was born:
Fold something new each day and then leave it in plain view with a note for someone to come along and pick up, read, and smile. I will put a picture of this model and the note in my blog each day. I will start this project April first.
Other inspirations for this project came from the following:
http://todayimade.net/
http://www.youtube.com/user/missamykr429
http://www.amazon.com/Yarn-Bombing-Crochet-Knit-Graffiti/dp/1551522551
And the fact that one time I was smiling and someone asked what was wrong. I said that nothing was wrong and they gave me a weird look. This made me think and I came to the conclusion that they gave me a weird look because it is rare for someone to smile in public around strangers.
So go out and smile among strangers maybe you will find an origami model with a note for yourself.

Windows live.
I just set up Windows live so I can click and post rather easily. Let’s see if this is easier. Just another way to make life easier right. Blah blah blah.
Portfolio talk...
So tonight, tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning I will be working on my portfolio. Tonight I am home working on this thing. Tomorrow night I will be at Joe's for Lori's birthday but only for a minute then back home to work on the portfolio. Sunday, I will be at some library or book store working on this thing because I can't do much at home because of a little thing call ADD. But the rest of the week I will be at school from morning to night working on the portfolio.
Thursday night I have bowling but I don't care much about the bowling part rather the drinking part. I have to get this thing done before Thursday.
Where does that leave me with my blog for the first day of April. Depending on how long my class is Thursday I will write it after class and before bowling. If that doesn't work out I will just skip and write one on Friday. Next weekend will be really eventful. Just a heads up.
Until Thursday
I'm Joey.

Creation Distruction Beauty
Two more weeks. Actually 10 days but we aren't here to talk about that.
Creation:
After I finish school I want to have a purpose. Which I will and that is education. However, I want to create something that is beautiful, thought provoking, and resonant (at least somewhat). I can't think of something now but after I am finished school I will sit down one day and come up with ideas.
Distruction:
Someone once said "Distruction is like a form of creation." Donnie Darko. I agree and disagree with this statement. I agree because this statement is 100% true, distruction is a form of creation. The twisted metal of a colapsed building can be intreguing and new or the burnt remains of a mattress full of money can be thought provoking and freeing. Where I disagree with this statement is it is a sad form of creation. Distroying something beautiful or not even beautiful but something someone created is a sad thought. I do not see the beauty in distruction any more.
Growing up I certainly thought I could see the beauty but not any more.
Beauty:
To create something that wasn't hear before is a beautiful thought to me. To create a piece of music, a doodle, a poem, song, joke, book, video, or something different that is beauty. Creation is beauty distruction is ugly. Soon enough I will decide what to do with my life and it will be glorious.

Questions of the day:
Why do some people get so offended when I don't answer a text or a phone call?
I hate the phone. I use it often but mainly when I have to. So I didn't answer your text, get over it. So I don't normally answer your phone calls, your not the only one. Hell I ignore a lot of peoples phone calls and texts. It's nothing against you, it has to do with my dislike for cellular phones and phones in general. If you think that makes me an ASS then so be it I will be an ASS, but only to you because you are being crazy.
I have people that I have truly offended and hurt, because of my outlook on life lately, that I need to deal with before I deal with you. And before I deal with the people I offended and hurt, I have to GRADUATE FROM MY HIGHER EDUCATION EXPLOITS. Shit.
*Breaths in deep* *Exhales*
Now that that is out of the way I can go on and talk about today. Besides that little snag that happened about 15 minutes ago, today was great. I was just in a great mood even though I have tons of work to do. I was smiling for about 70% of the day and the other 30% of the day I was still in a good mood.
And now it is bed time goodnight
Much Love,
Joey
