The Mizark Show: The Degree Is Not The Point

http://themizarkshow.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-degree-is-not-point.html

Sunday, July 14, 2013. The Degree Is Not The Point. This fall I will be attending my third college institution to attain a third degree. This will be my second bachelors level degree, however; usually by the third degree it's at least a Masters. I guess you could say that I'm truly the definition of a "non-traditional student.". This time I can't afford to switch part-way through and its not that I think I'd want to do that. it's just that the option isn't there for it and that sorta terrifies me.

The Mizark Show: Musings: On The Self

http://themizarkshow.blogspot.com/2013/01/musings-on-self.html

Thursday, January 31, 2013. Musings: On The Self. However, perhaps the greatest significance it has, and the reason why this simple number has become so important to us, is that a traditional viewpoint of the self consists of three parts: the body, mind, and soul. With our world and our lives constantly changing, this means that we should be changing as well; if we do not keep up ourselves and our life-experience in tandem, we will surely become an unstable, lopsided person who wobbles about instead of s...

The Mizark Show: NIN: Came Back To Haunt

http://themizarkshow.blogspot.com/2013/06/nin-my-personal-soundtrack.html

Thursday, June 06, 2013. NIN: Came Back To Haunt. Have released an album at almost every pivotal part of my life. Now, perhaps I'm reading into this a little too much (note: I definitely am), but Trent Reznor's knack for releasing new work in-sync with my life events is almost otherworldly and the announcement of NIN's new album, Hesitation Marks. Before I was even a fan, NIN released The Fragile. In late 2004 or early 2005, my freshman roomie grabbed a leaked copy of With Teeth. Midway through college, ...

The Mizark Show: Learning To Draw: What Worked For Me

http://themizarkshow.blogspot.com/2014/05/learning-to-draw-what-worked-for-me.html

Monday, May 12, 2014. Learning To Draw: What Worked For Me. A close friend of mine is looking to pick up drawing after a long time, and complained on Twitter, that good advice and tutorials online are hard to come by. and I agree. A lot of artists and pseudo-professionals put out things on how to draw and its mostly a mix of bad advice with good intentions. That leads to perhaps the last major thing that helped me on the journey to learning how to draw: using pen and paper. For me, a Moleskine notebo...

The Mizark Show: The Long Winding Path to Communication Design

http://themizarkshow.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-long-winding-path-to-communication.html

Saturday, November 16, 2013. The Long Winding Path to Communication Design. I'm nearing the end of my first semester as a Communication Design student at MIAD, and although it has kicked my ass to the moon and back, I've enjoyed it and learned more than I thought possible in this span of time. However, based on my semester here, there seem to be three distinctly different types of students in the program. and perhaps I make for a fourth. And just think. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for learning H...

The Mizark Show: NYE 2012 Reflections

http://themizarkshow.blogspot.com/2012/12/nye-2012-reflections.html

Monday, December 31, 2012. Although I'm definitely contemplating this past year, I'm not surrounded by friends and I don't have someone to kiss. So, instead of enjoying the night like most of you, I decided to write down some thoughts on this past year to try and start 2013 on a better foot than 2012 is ending. I've started learning Japanese, and although my brain still doesn't like learning new languages (or truly understanding English), I'm making progress. I would love to study over there as one o...
