Hey, peeps.  Few of you may know already, but I’m going to Portales, NM to visit my sister.  We’ll be going to Santa Fe and Albuquerque  during the month.  So if you’re in one of those cities or area, be sure to say hi! I’ll definitely be live blogging my vacation travels the entire month. Will post LOTS of pictures and maybe some cool photography along the way.  I’ll be bringing my Sony camera and tripod so that we can take cool photos of the mountains and caverns.

Also, I’ll be stopping in Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport(Terminal B) at around 4:00PM.  So if you too are in the Dallas area, drop by and say hi if you want!

EDIT: I’m leaving this monday on the 13th.  So pictures will be up soooooon. Ha!

Hey guys!  Today I’ll be leaving to the airport at around 1 to catch my flight early.  Later in the day, i’ll definitely live blog what’s happening. Which is nothing besides sitting around in the airport all day and wait for flights.  Mmmm maybe reblog pictures of red vs blue idk I’m trying to catch up to the latest season for that. .__.

Man I hope I don’t lose my cellphone and wallet… urgh.

Man I hope what I just typed won’t be a total jinx. URGGgggghhh….

AN ART STUDENT IS IN NEED OF DIRE HELP (MCA TOUR)

Hey, Tumblr peeps. I know that you are either busy with life, might not care for other people’s problems unless it has something to do with their own fatal health, or might not care at all! Although, people who are in a fatal stage would probably need more help than I! WHICH IS A GOOD THING. PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DESPERATE TIMES NEED MORE OF YOUR ATTENTION. HOWEVER, if you could make time to read this for me, it could change my entire life choice career as well as a life time opportunity for me as an artist.

I’ve been living and raised in Louisiana all my life. According to a survey, Louisiana is the top state with the most people who are born, raised, lived, and died in the state throughout their lives, besides the Amish in Ohio, rating in second.

I do NOT want to live like that. In fact, I want to live out of state. I want to explore the country and live a life of creating projects and join a team or a studio and work my butt off as an animator or designer! That is why I need your help.

Right now, I am attending Northwestern State University and majoring in Graphics Communication. While the university has amazing education to teach a lot about the Creative and Performing Arts as well as Nursing, Business, and Education, I do not recommend going to a university that does not have an education with concentrations such as Animating and Digital Design.  The only good thing in this college I’m attending for art is Fine Arts (Sculpting) and Graphics Communication (Photography).  This is why I plan to transfer out to Memphis College of Arts.

MCA has been a long time dream of mine. I would have had a great chance to attend to that college, since I have received a $15,000 scholarship for applying and submitting my portfolio.  It was one of those great achievements I would have accepted as fate, but had decided not to.  At that time, I thought it was unwise as well as parents pressuring me to go do other things and a long life-making decision. :(

But now I plan to take that back.  My decision has been made once again and I intend to follow it all the way through. I want to go to Memphis.

This is where you guys come in.

You see, my sister and I were planning to tour MCA for this summer and negotiate with them from there. I plan to talk about what courses I need and if any courses I am taking at NSU will count for MCA. I also want to tour the entire campus as it will be my first ever to visit the city.  These are the reasons I want to try out and tour.

However, as you might have known, plane tickets costs and my parents refuse to pay for me to a city I have never visit. It is saddening to hear, but if I have to work my way through this, than I would have to start somewhere!

So this is where you guys can come in. If you can donate to me at least 5 dollars or more, I am willing to bow down on my knees for you guys and kiss your toes or the ground in front of you. I will be incredibly grateful for your help. After that, I can take it from there.  My best goal is to have at least $500 by the end of May. If you guys can’t help with the money, then re-blogging and supporting this will definitely reach my goal, no matter how small the step is!! IT WILL HELP ME A LOT!

You can pay me via Paypal at azncelly@gmail.com or contact me at d.callie@hotmail.com!

I AM ALSO WILLING TO COMMISSION ARTWORKS FOR MONEY AS WELL. I have not set up the prices f.a.q.s. yet, but it will be up in time on my art blog HERE! If you don’t feel like donating to me, paying for a few artworks from me is fine as well! I’ve been needing the money for a long time now! Don’t worry, your money will not be spent except for a plane ticket! AND AGAIN, RE-BLOGGING THIS WILL ALSO HELP as it will spread the word out to everybody about my dire situation.

And also, THANK YOU GUYS FOR EVEN FINISH READING THIS LONG AND BORING POST. And hopefully I convinced you in some way for helping me reach this task.  As an art student, this would help me greatly with my hopeful career. It is a risky opportunity I want to take.  It is something I want to see and it could either make me want to attend to that college or not at all.  (Hopefully the former for you, ha.) All in all, I want to see where this will take me. And if it all works out, I can be at ease with things I will learn once I get there.

Thanks once again, guys. Have a nice day!

- Celly out.

I struggled a lot with my identity as an Indian person growing up, and it often bordered on rejection of it. I remember for a very long time my friends would describe me as, “for all intents and purposes, a white person”, and the eurocentrism my school life had raised me with taught me to adopt this as part of who I was.

Essentially I found that most white people I grew up with didn’t really want anything to do with my cultural identity unless it was served at a chain restaurant or coming out of Russel Peters’ mouth, and for quite some time, the treatment of where my parents came from becoming something of a punchline led me to condone this behaviour.

But as I continue to grow into the person who I want to be I’ve found more and more that I don’t really owe white ethnocentrism any modicum of allegiance.

Someone recently told me about a trip she was planning to Goa at the end of the month, and I swear to god, if I have to hear her throw around the word “civilized” when talking about her reservations about her accommodations there one more time, I’m going to throw her.

I remember someone here once complimented my voice by telling me that they thought from photos of me that I’d have a very heavy Indian accent, but that upon watching a video where I spoke, they realized that my voice is actually “really nice instead”.

What really threw me for a loop (or, I guess exhausted me the most) was the number of white people I considered friends telling me that I was reading too much into things by finding this offensive. That seems to happen a lot.

I guess my point in all of this is that you don’t really owe anyone your identity. Your culture, your sexuality, your gender, anything, shouldn’t have to meet any sort of standard of acceptability set by the people who have no fucking clue what struggling with those things is like.

I’ll be as Indian as I want to be.

To all my friends.

No, like seriously. I cannot count how many times for all the things I do as being a “stereotypical Asian” would do and everybody calling it out on me about it.

My ethnicity does not identify who I am guys.

And the worse part is that I sometimes admit I stereotype myself. But that’s who I am at times. But it doesn’t identify as ME.

Just last night a person I rarely hang out with (an acquaintance) just reasoned to me of doing something different than they would usually do and said, “Oh, it’s because you’re Asian.”  I usually tolerate those kinds of behavior coming from a different race other than mine, but I can get really sick and tired of hearing that kind of bullshit from people’s mouth as if they think they’re funny for it.

Let me be fucking me for once, okay? Even with my certain flaws or differences.
