brainless compliments make my anus twingewisco_cowboyJuly 13 2004, 17:22:26 UTC
yes, the retards at SCAD do have significant difficulties saying anything but complimentary words and personal babble because otherwise they would have to defend their position and use their brains...heavens no. this is Tony, and though I do not have a pic yet, I shall soon. I can't format it properly.
i would be a liar if i said i didn't feel that way upon occasion. that class is tough when you don't put your all into it--tough to make something worthwhile. and therefor, a lot of people don't do that and the work is crappy and even if you feel bad about what you made, and you are looking for constructive criticism, you don't get it because your worst is a scrambled version of their best.
i'm such an asshole for feeling that way.
but then you have got to remember that by doing your best, you raise the bar for everyone else and by the end of the quarter everyone seems to be getting it, giving you something that you actually don't have to strain your brain to comment about aloud.
I try not to dance around or talk too big or make an ass out of myself. I did really terribly on that assignment, so I didn't feel like I had much room to criticize anyone's work. I was very frustrated with the notetaking...I didn't feel like I could mix colors in a way that made sense, and then everything turned out so pale and faint because my dye had de-activated. Excuses excuses, I suck, blah blah blah.
The critique was structured very strangely. Before you got there we wrote down our critiques anonymously on paper. Isn't that strange? I think that's part of why you got such a weird reception, because suddenly the paper and the anonymity were taken away. The other reason is because your work was so much better than most of the other work.
I do sometimes feel like there are a couple people in the class that react oddly to just about anything either you or I say. I feel like I've been branded as a "weirdo" or something by those girls.
