okay thoughts time.

it seems like there are alot of people who's creative process starts with just that, technical process and then moves towards concept. i suppose that makes sense, you have to speak a language before you can actually say something. i don't know. i feel like it leads people on technical tangents and then it takes them forever to actually figure out what they want to say/do. but that's easy for me to criticize. i just program max all day. whatevs. i'm in an oddy moood.

what am i doing at gradschool? i understand it's good to change environments to stimulate your creative process but tonight i had my second class with a teacher with a questionable teaching style. maybe i'm complaining too much. i do feel a little bit of panic though. there is this trend in new media of teaching the technical and letting those that "know" sort of glean the *actual* learning from the teachers in a happenstance manner. i mean to say that understanding how to further your work and ask good questions, these are things that need to be taught but people keep asking about jitter. ha. but really the person that doesn't understand the technical foundation for the class need to work on that outside of class. blablibbity bla. it's pretty much always the same difficulty teaching intermingled theory and technical courses. things gotta be defined.

in other news i heard that andre 3000 track at a bar tonight about spreading / love. that's a good song. my friend wrote a song called little coyote, and i guess andre heard it through a friend of a friend. go figure. tell me when i start to sound like everyother blog in existence. i'm self conscious right now.

this also makes me wonder. our class = this. what am i paying for. haha.
