Ok, so as previously stated, I am an avid Ben Folds fan. Not only have I been to four of his shows, I frequent (not on purpose) many of his stomping grounds. I have all his albums and know where his house is.
I am not a stalker though. I know where his house is purely because my friend Hbomb's sister stalked him when she was in high school, and I live off of his street. I attend Belmont, I can't help but know him and love him. Anyways so the reason behind my extremely unclever "where is waldo" reference, is because of this. Not only do I constantly run into Ben Folds outside of a concert arena, but I did today twice in one day at two different places with two parts of his family. I don't really know how I manage it, but I have run into Ben at my two favorite hw places, 21st avenue starbucks and fido in hvillage. I have run into Ben at Fido before, and when I say run, I mean literally run into him. haha
I also know that his kids go to USN which is down the street from starbucks, I suppose it was only a matter of time before I ran into him here. Still, its really weird people go their entire lives without running into anyone famous, and I run into people all the time. And again, I didn't stalk him the reason I know that his kids go to USN, is simply because my brother went there, as did a few of my friends, and my friend ali found out through a high school literary conference. What made today's encounter even funnier was that I was listening to Hiroshima as he walked in, how ironic is that? lol It made my horrible day a little bit better let me tell you.
Well moving on to slightly more interesting topics, todays artwork is a piece by Vermeer a painter from the renaissance, who constantly painted people at a window. I had to do a project on him in 2-D design, and its only fair that you all are exposed to him as well.

And just cause, I will post a wonderful clip of a limited release Ben Folds Five Song.

Starbucks, global domination, spring break, and music
So, this past week was my spring break and unfortunately while I worked every single day I have yet to finish anything. So, today you see the musical stylings of beyonce and death cab, the two musicians that I listened to non stop. Specifically "Halo" and "I will follow you into the dark." Both are brilliant songs, but like I said I was in study mode so I therefore, I haven't any new art for you, but be gracious and happy. Death Cab is better than any art work!

As of right now, I am currently working on three art projects, three pieces for the student art show, and an english presentation. Did I mention that I also work, and have all of that due this week? I love college. Its a brilliant plan created by Starbucks, as I spent a total of 7.00 dollars a day six days in a week. That's 42.00 dollars, which on a student's budget is like a month's worth of income. Brilliant Starbucks! Brilliant, world domination is upcoming, I can see it in their future.
Oh and everyone I ran into Ben Folds Yet again!! I love that man, he is just as awkward looking in person as he is in pictures/ videos.
Just in case you are behind in the Ben Folds love here is one of my favorite songs:
