My, my, my, my, my, my, oh my, but I quite agree. I am an x-art student and
can say with some authority, art students are useless (with some
exceptions-Devon). I was a lousy student (mostly due to my excessive alcohol
and chemical intake that made actually attending classes quite a bother).
My production at that time, however, was good (mostly due to excessive
alcohol and chemical intake).
I was a semi-professional fool for a few years. That's as close to a
professional anything I've ever been and that, more than anything else, gave
me training that I could actually use in my "art". I still can't juggle for
shit, though I can bore you stupid with tales of ritual clowning from
several foreign lands and lines of historical interest pertaining to the
role of clowns through the march of time. Sleepy yet?
Don't quit this list RA. Create chaos from within. It's fun and easy to
do. Break the ice at parties, fool your friends, amuse your dog....
God, I'm so bored.
Kiss-Kiss,
Badgergirl
