My beautiful SMFA. I’m so sorry I blamed you in the past, disfigured you and cursed you in so many ways. I didn’t appreciate what I had until I lost it. But now I see, now I see it in its grand scope, in its liberty, in its professors, in its three-story rhino building, in its cafe des artes, in its many artistic disciplines, in Paul, in Charles, in Julie, in Susan, in Mrs.Jones, in the grandiose student orientation catering food, in the vibrancy of the campus air, in the cool-kids smoking rotunda, in the second floor secluded stair area where I often peered out the window, in the smiles of everyone behind their desks in the admission office, in the student affair square window. Though nothing happens without a reason right? so maybe I haven’t lost them, perhaps I will return to them in the near future. I miss you Boston, you were a city.
Strange the ways all universities advertise themselves, each one of them as the finest school in the nation who only admit the highest level of unusual talent and strong desire. Strange the semblance, the balance that is both business for-profit all the while with a highly refined and captious audition process – seeking potential pioneers and hopefuls to proudly name as alumni, type on a sticker and store in a file cabinet. Then one day in a gallery opening, she would talk admits a group of très chic, bearded, vintage dress wearing people being très chic and when asked what school she graduated from, she would think back into a hazy fog of a runner who often sprinted from here and there.

an elegantly dressed man says: play with the positive and negative, we are the elite of society, do amazing things and crush everyone around you. Call the media if you’ve done something amazing and if you’ve done something bad, We are artists and also ninjas, who are the good kind of bad gods and bad kind of bad guy. Make yourself much more grand than where you are right now.
