Leap Day University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Arrest

So I was in the library in between classes and I noticed this guy in the table in front of me with an afro . I noticed him mostly because of his afro and from the fact that he was just sitting there talking to some girl in the library. I go to the uwm union to re-fill my water bottle and BOOM I see ass ,it took awhile to register what was going on and I noticed it was a guy so I thought I wanna see his penis so I start walking and by this time a crowd starts to emerge on the stairs of the union by the time I got a good spot he was outside so me and some new found friends proceed to outside and there he was same guy from the library butt ass naked on the ground outside the union surrounded by cops. We tired going out the door but Officer Campos asked us to go out another door , and so we did. There was about 6 officers and they had a very hard time getting the hand cuffs on him he didnt want to stand , well he said he was standing. However he wasnt the officers then dragged him to the car (as shown in the video). I gave a witness account to Officer Whitenack. I manged to get out of her that they heard from the walkie talkies and he started in the library. He was just strolling by saying "You guys act like you never seen life before". I wish I was making this shit up.

In Case Of Fire...

This "phone" is located in UWM-Peck School Of The Arts, outside of the metal smith lab. Where fires and other dangerous situations can happen. I guess they are assuming that people will use their cell phones but nonetheless.

Also when they redid the walls in the Peck School of the Arts, one of the materials that they used is flammable. They recommended that only about 10 - 20 % of the walls have art on them because of this.

Every single art practice , is hazardous to the artist and to the building . Yes there's rules and regulations that we all follow and safety precautions that we are beat over the head with. There's also vents, although they are very problematic vents, to take away the toxic fumes. There's no real sense of danger in the building on a daily basis. Aside from the fact that it's made with flammable walls and contains lots of flammable materials.... it's become my second home .

I say all this to say really flammable walls? Do you want the students to die?

Ammonia

The location of this piece (I am calling it piece because I consider it a piece of art.) was in front of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 's Mitchell Hall. I don’t know who or whom created it, I wish I did. In front of Mitchell Hall is where a lot of smokers smoke their cigarettes. There are always countless amounts of cigarette buds around the entrance of the building. One day, I noticed this and laughed, it's pure genius. I also thought " Eww,I hope they washed there hands or used gloves before they touched those." I don’t know what was used to make the cigarettes stay but it did last a long time, (about a week ) and then when it was gone the imprint of the wording stayed for a bit longer.

I am really saddened by the large amount of students that smoke. It's like there shortening their life . Also, as a non-smoker and an asthmatic is its annoying.

So Apparently...

My phone has the ability to receive messages from Sunday, February 6, 2106....

Oh Sprint, how your service amazes me.

Basically All My Life

I remember seeing this guy drive around the city, from when I was a toddler till now. I have no idea what it is that his saying or what the images on his car say. However I feel like it's part of the Milwaukee cultural experience to know of his unknown man. Who drives around the city with a megaphone.

Nails Did

Since Summer 2011 I’ve become obsessed with nail polish. Mainly OPI, which has become costly but I just love it. I’ve spent hours on my nails and I don’t feel bad about it.

But Why?

Color= Expression
And self-expression is everything to me.

Bright, bold and eye catching things that I try to evoke through my self and in my artwork. I have a natural knack for color,I like putting color combinations together. Nails are an easy way to express ones self and play with color. To see
the color on my nails make me happy which is something we all need something near us that makes us happy.

But that rant is kind of stupid , maybe there is something more behind this recent obsession.

I’ve always been complimented on my nails, my mother always points them out to people saying, “Look how pretty her hands are, look at those beautiful almond shaped nails.” I guess I feel like I should give them something to look when my mother points them out and I do think I have pretty hands and nails so why not work with it?

Speaking of my mother, I’ve spent numerous hours with her in nail salons growing up and even now. In the summer we go together to get pedicures, it’s something that we do religiously. And then we argue she gets mad because I only want a pedicure not a manicure because my nails have to be a specific way and they just don’t to it right.
The right way is perfectly square, preferably medium length. Of my own natural nails, I have never or will ever get fak

e nails. I’ve seen the destruction that they do to one’s real nail

s and I really don’t think that they are pretty. They look like plastic globs .

My nails having to be perfectly square comes from the fact that I used to bite my nails when I was younger, I don’t remember how it started but I realized the problem was that if they had perfectly square, then I didn’t bite them.


Which is funny because I am only that way about my nails anything else can be crooked, doesn’t matter to me.

I think my nail obsession which is a stretch but maybe not, I’m not sure yet. Boils down to this I like the instant gratification of it to see my ideas come out of my head faster, like Photoshop and photography. It does however feed into my need for things to be now, Now, NOW but I think it’s helping. I always mess up my nails because they don’t dry fast enough but I’m learning to wait, stay still and it will happen.

I love how hobbies, or maybe that’s the wrong word, Interests no still wrong word.I love how what we like to do had the power to become introspective mirrors into one’s self.

Last Thoughts:

-Matching nails and feet are corny.

-Stiletto nails are scary you could hurt yourself.
