a little bit of writing

Dear mister,

I don't know if you have noticed but I graduated from East Carolina University. You know, I didn't make honors or get any fancy cords like a lot of my friends. I wasn't eligible anyways, because I transferred from another institution. It was a hard transition from a community college to a four-year university. The difficulty wasn't in the workload. It was the difficulty going to art school, more specifically an art school noted by some as the best in North Carolina. I don't find much truth in that argument. You see: I met a few hard working intelligent people there. Most of them happened to be atheists, bisexuals, or named deviants by the constructs of the dominant ideology. The rest of the people in that institution were probably aspiring douche daddies or lacking the ability to be even the lowliest of shit-kickers. Those people made my life hell. Now understand, ECU is in the south and a lot of redneck folk and small town idiots rode their gas guzzling minority killers to Greenville, NC. A side note, Greenville is nicknamed the Emerald City. Funny. What variety of Wizard of Oz was this shit? What mood was that author seeking? Needlesstosaybutmustbestated, several of those simple people managed to find their hearts in art. Yes, it's as kitsch and country as it seemed. They brought their stupid conservative agenda. They brought their silly politics. They hid them in their art work and only the deviants could spot them successfully.

Back on track.

I graduated from the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University. You already know this.

I will be attending University of North Carolina at Greensboro for my Master of Fine Art degree in Studio Arts. I think I will like it there.


Love you,

Jonathan "Nate Blake" Cobbs
