i had this class in school called, "time based media".
it's basically like communication technology.
you get to watch and make videos.
and make monologues.
i'm not exactly sure.
yeah, i don't pay attention in class.
but who does?
but basically, you have to create artistic things to show the class.
on the second week of school, my professor gave us this assignment where you had to pick a contemporary artist and copy their style of work with a monologue or just present a brief biography on him or her.
the following week, he let the students who were ready to present about their artists.
there was one particular artist that caught my attention because her work was so ridiculously funny!
so i was sitting in class, waiting for this student to finish her presentation about this artist when she begins to show us this video.
i wished i paid more attention to the artist's name.
i would have linked it here.
but anyways, in the video, the selected artist and another artist are standing back-to-back against each other in the middle to two big pillars.
they are also naked.
now for a while in the video, they just stood there.
and then they both started running forward into the pillars trying to hit themselves again and again.
i couldn't stop laughing!
i didn't even notice that the guy fell down halfway in the video.
i thought it was so funny that i had to put my head down and bite my lip so nobody could hear me.
i swear, everyone was watching the video with mouths open probably thinking, "the pain they go through when they reach and hit the pillars probably represent obstacles in life."
or, "so deep!"
while i'm sitting there laughing hysterically and thinking, "what the hell is this?!"
at the end of the video, they both fall down.
i am so immature.

i really love your stories! keep them coming :-)
