Pondering, Mondays class

Since I have been working on this project for drawing class I have been noticing the strangest things. Well maybe not strange but just more aware of my surroundings. Everywhere I seem to go I notice the trees... yes I know that may sound weird but it is just something that I have been working on with the song strong tower. I have noticed their construction, how their leaves may be changing and the idea that they all have character. No tree to me is the same. I mean one may have a owls nest another may not. I also have started to think of how my work is related to the theories talked about in Wednesdays class. I have been thinking a lot about how PACS is in my work now. I am doing plenty of experimentation. I am creating many pieces that seem unfinished to me but I have come to a conclusion that that is the way that I like to work. Work on many things at once when painting and then eventually getting them to a "finished" state. I think this is good but why can't I just finish something instead of moving on to the next thing and the next thing after that. I have no clue why all of a sudden all these thoughts have come to mind while I have been just sitting with the confused sludge that we created at the beginning of class. Am I finally realizing something? Finally being able to "sturr the pot" so to speak? I have no idea but it just seems strange why couldn't these ideas come before the paper?? or even before that????

Mondays Class add on...
Okey I am going to come clean... I like someone yes I do.(grining ear to ear) Infact recently I have been pondering on what I should tell him.I have been this way for awhile and fianlly have the guts to say it. I know he has some liking of me because in our conversations he has said I am one of the people he enjoys talkig to. Also after class I have also the strangest idea put into my head I think it my ego or id talking dunno which get those confused. What would happen if he or I were just able to lay a big one on me or me on him (sound bad but I mean a kiss) Is that the ego talking? Then my super ego is telling me no its not right its the gentlmans job to woo the female not the other way around. I dont know. or is it the Id? that does that, well anyway. I dunno how wierd or strange sounding that just sounded but I thought I might relate something to class. Oh and this must not get out because I will be duly embarrised. (sorry sp brain lapse) I know its written in the blog but who reads this?

Oh I asked in class about the eye and the pyramid relating to the king? am I justified in saying so?? or is that compelty different subject?

To respond to this entire entry and all of the questions is more than I have time at the moment, in the course of mid-terms and an impending national, regional, and federal evaluation at the college; however, I can answer to one of your questions. If by the "eye and pyramid" you refer to the drawing appearing on USAmerican money, I think there is a relationship to the king archetype, but not quite as I proposed it in class. The pyramid is shown as being made of thirteen blocks, and represents the union of the states. In respect of sovereignty, this union replaced the authority of the King, so historically one could suppose a connection in the figures. The eye is supposed to represent the all-seeing eye of God. Here again is an image of unity (ONE eye), but here it is one and alone rather than one-from-many. In a certain respect the eye is therefore more akin to the king archetype in that it is one and alone as the king is one and alone.
