Free Exercise of Religion (Unless You're Not...

I posted this video on facebook a few days ago after seeing on a few other friends pages. It’s a startling look at how despicable, disgusting, and hateful humans can be to each other. The part of this video that I really don’t understand is protesters shouting how much they love their constitution… You know, that document that says you have free exercise of religion, freedom...

eBay Exasperations!

Now, I know it’s been a good while since I’ve written on tumblr, but I’m just pissed off enough to do so. A few days ago, you may have seen my facebook status about how I hate bad eBay sellers. Here’s the entire story, and then some, about that status. On Feb 8th, I won an auction for a studio flash to continue expanding my experience in photography. I paid for the flash right...

Art Institute Drama, Continued

So, I promised I’d keep everyone posted on my problems with the Art Institute of Orange County. I haven’t posted anything about it since December 27th. Well, that’s because I haven’t heard from them since December 18th. Below is the latest email I’ve sent to Melinda Lester, The Art Institute of Orange County’s Dean of Academic Affairs. Melinda, It’s...

Tory Birch on Project Runway. Idiot.

Tory Birch was recently a guest judge on the show Project Runway. During the runway critique of designer Amy’s looks, Tory said, “I think my biggest problem with it is the color palate and it’s really throwing me because I don’t really feel those colors work together.” She later said, “I’m not sure that blue and orange are that complimentary. Do you think...

I AM ME, AND I'M NOT ASHAMED!

You might have read my most recent tweet: “Blood may be thicker than water, but it’s thinner than you think…” Let me take a moment to explain why I wrote this. As some of you may know, I’ve found a second job. I’ll be working for Benefit Cosmetics at several Orange County locations (Brea, Newport, South Cost Plaza, and Westminster). I though’t I’d share the good news with...

Actual Excerpts From Grade School Papers

1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in Hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and the climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere. 2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red sea, where they made unleveled bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever...

Tweet Tweet with Skeet Skeet

Today I was on Twitter, and thanks to Jacqui, started reading a trending topic entitled #PleaseExplainWhy. It was then I posted: After reading a few more #PleaseExplainWhy posts, I decided to post my own. Below, you’ll see my original #PleaseExplainWhy post, and a response from someone called @skeetskeetsplat from “Skeetville USA”. That’s right. I win. Thanks. Here...

Bettering My Life (Or At Least My Health)

Some would call it a lifestyle change. Some would call it a diet. Call it whatever, I call it making myself healthier. I’m really paying attention to what I’m eating this time around. Jacqui, Stephen, and I have all taken the plunge together, and I have to say, it is easier so far with a team of support. I had the bright idea to create a tumblr account that the three of us have the...

Art Institute Responds! Part II

Well, it’s been a week, and Melinda Lester from The Art Institute of California - Orange County has written me back once again. Still, I’ve received no solid answers but perhaps something better: a meeting with the Art Institute President, Greg J. Marick. From what I can see in the email, via the “Cc:” line, a copy of my letter was also sent to two other people. After a...

Art Institute Responds!

I almost can’t believe I’ve received a response from the Art Institute. Albeit a “we’ll get back to you soon,” response, it’s still more than I thought I’d get, especially this quickly. Hi Alex, I am reviewing your case and have contacted various departments that would have the information I need to get all the answers for you. Unfortunately I...

My Struggles With The Art Institute

If you’ve ever heard me talk about my experience with the Art Institute of Orange County, you’ll know I don’t think too kindly of them. This post will explain why. Below is a letter I’ve just written to Melinda Lester, Dean of Academic Affairs: Melinda Lester, My name is Alex Bellamey and I am a former Art Institute of Orange County student. I came to the Art Institute...

Out With the Old, In With the New

Today, I’m going to head down to SamAsh Music Store and see how much I can get for my Korg TR88 Workstation (pictured above) and put that money toward a new Canon EOS 7D (pictured below). It’s kind of a bittersweet feeling, but I can’t really justify hanging on to it. I hardly use it, and don’t use half of what it can do. (It came with not one, but TWO user manuals,...

Best quotes from today:

Guest: "Where are the toilets?" 
Me (in my head): "In the restrooms."
5 year old girl walking by on cell phone: 
 "But isn't tomorrow TODAY?!"
Mona on Desperate Housewives: 
 "Just because I have lawn gnomes doesn't mean I'm stupid!"

This made my night.

I was talking to a group of guests tonight while working Fantasmic. They were really nice and fun to talk to and we had a good time while they were waiting for the 9 o’clock show. I love it when people are just NICE. Anyway, the first Fantasmic show ended up being canceled, which made me feel really bad. (Like it normally does.) I mean, people do spend a lot of time waiting for the...

I need to rethink my creative process...

I don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been dying to write a song. Just one fucking song that I’d be happy with. Yet every time I sit down to do it, I don’t feel the inspiration. Sitting in front of a keyboard and playing around with different synths, sounds, and whatnot is more of a distraction than anything else. I need to rethink my creative process. It’s kind...

Grim Grinning Ghosts Come Out - Unless We're...

Today I worked at the Haunted Mansion from 6:00pm to 12:45am. It was a lot of fun, though it could have been better. I really like working the attraction, however from 8:40 to 11:45 all I got to do was stand outside and tell people the attraction was closed. Yes, you read right, OVER THREE HOURS! :( Don’t get me wrong, I like getting paid to do nothing as much as the next guy, but working...

“63 True Things”

Reposted from 10centsworth.com 1. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. 3. I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to...
