So there's this diary I've got. Every entry in it has some heartfelt scribblings and a drawing. It's all very cute, a little silly, but really sincere.
I started reading through the entries thinking that every thing I wrote was going to be some self-indulgent, whiny, piece o' do-do, but I was surprised to see that a lot of the writing was actually pretty good. I mean, none of this is going to be published in The New Yorker any time soon, but like I said, it was still surprising. I dunno, I've thought about trying to use some of it in a video, and I think I might.
P.S. I use a stupid amount of commas in my writing. I think it's because my mind has these short spurts of thought and before I lose a good idea, I like to scratch it down while it's still there.
Buy anyway- I think I need to write in it again. I mostly think this because I need to be positive. If some super advanced alien race discovers my tattered drawing-diary centuries from now, I don't want them to read my diary(which still sounds funny for me to say... It's so feminine. Thus I will continue to refer to this drawing-diary as my "journal" from this sentence on) and let their impression of me be "Wow. This teen aged Earth child had many thoughts, a lot of them were full of sorrow and remorse. Had he no moment of peace?"
So there we go, I'm going to restart this drawing-journal, dangit. And when I restart it, I'm going to make an effort to write in it with faith and hope.
(sigh)... I do it all for the space aliens.

That's cool Zack, I have a diary/journal that is kinda the same. I've had it since 2005 and its full of just writings and drawings. But also stickers and photos of my friends or emails that felt where important at the time. Lol, its really painful reading back on some of the stuff I wrote. It is so lame for the most part haha. But I'm going to keep writing in mine =) and it's cool to hear that you're going to keep writing in yours. I think its a really interesting way of maybe seeing what you where like when you re-read it. Also, when you're a big famous artist (dead though, sorry) They'll (who knows who THEY exactly are...) find it and your diary will be worth millions!!!
P.S. sorry for the long comment... and I love your photographs!
Yeah. I read back on it, and it's well-written, but it's during a realllly dramatic time. I definitely want to fill it up with some more optomistic stuff.
I am following now =]
Along with TMC O_O
now they will really get inside your head.
I like your photo at the end of each entry.
Keep writing and writing
