OK, none of you probably remember me... I used to be your semi invisible friend before study and art killed me and turned me into a ghost (a friendly ghost, much like casper, only I dont look sperm).
so I don't visit this place and certainly haven't updated my myspace site in awhile... for instance- I obviously do not work out 3 times a week anymore and I do not consider myself a nude model anymore- unfortunate about the earlier, fortunate about the latter (esp. for those of you cursed with any ability to mentally visualise things).
I am 21 today. This means I have to procrastinate- for many people this also means they have to go and spend large amounts of time in a pub- I tried this yesterday (well more like 15 mins- after a few hours will college friends). pubs- i stand around- try and talk to people- fail because of the loudness of the music- try and dance- denied because to dance when noone else is dancing is thought insane, and insanity is frowned upon; and lets face it, the stupidly loud music alone in these places is generally NOT enough to keep you entertained over long periods of time.
always busy, I take it upon myself, i know... feeling that because no one else has all my amazing abilities, that I must take on everything (see how humble I am). S2S P.R.O. (and an incredibly active person in S2S in general), Trinity arts workshop committee member (this is newish- I consider myself their most amazing consultant who they give all access free stuff to-hell yeah!) but I am also working on two films- one an animated film for filmmakers, another with the rest of the Trinity undergraduate placebo research group. The latter has been particularly annoying, because they are not being very professional about it and have shown an inability to take it seriously. I have however communicated this to them- but the problem is, as always, there is a limited time frame, and as always, there are ver few opportunities for us all to meet together.
I may upload the screenplays for these films soon though, and perhaps, after I go and rent some films, I will spend the rest of my 21st doing some art for the animated film- posters, more developed character sketches, if those fail (they require alot of patience, finish and attention to detail), just story board stuff. Last year I had the excuse to be alone because I was studying for scholarship exams, this year I am just alone because I have been an omnipresent ghost for so long, that although everyone has a sense of who I am, those I have had a real sense of closeness with- all this was established long ago- is it now a memory- we can hardly ever meet- I hope those memories of me don't fade... when I am not so busy- i will miss you very dearly.
I hope too that I can help foster new memories of me and establish a sense of real closeness again- and still manage to keep things moving.
Entertainment- yes- I can give you that for your time here. I have a new comic of mine, that is in press, BEFORE PUBLICATION!!! dare you look upon it and make a small deep monotone "ha" sound to it's amazingness!! DARE YOU!!
also, Michaelmathewsart.com and michaelmathews.deviantart.com - perhaps my only physical existance in your worlds has been in the digital representaitons of my art, not quite as extreme and entertaining as having hot chocolate in a cafe no doubt, but still!! maybe another day? hot chocoloate anyone? or maybe even greentea and food at my place?
