My sister's graduation

Well, it was my little sister's graduation from the University of Kansas this past Friday, where she graduated with her BA in something that has to do with criminal justice and counseling. I am not 100% sure what she is going to do, but apparently she got accepted into graduate school for domestic abuse counseling and hopes to be done with that in a year's time. I was invited on Thursday, as an afterthought, to attend and I brought my camera. I think I pissed a few people off without meaning too...really. When I was asked what I am up to these days, I talked about me being about 20 weeks away from finishing my MFA in Photography, and a few people acted like I was trying to be stuck up. Even my ex-step grandmother was a little off putting after she acknowledged how "pristine" SCAD is and how that was "nice" that I have been able to attend. (She lives in Pooler, which is a suburb of Savannah and has heard and seen what the school has become)

I think what it is that no one ever had high hopes for me and thought that I would go no where, especially since I am now celebrating my 20th anniversary of my first Vans Warped Tour (yes, I went to my first one in 1997, at Burcham Park, in Lawrence, KS when the tour was only 3 years old) and I really never left my punk roots since then. I had been listening to punk (which is the best music in the world) for about a year or two before then (hard to believe that I was like a 12/13 year old punker...kinda cute to think about) but yeah, I graduated with my BA from a very fine school in the Midwest, a school that was once known as the Ivy League School of the MidWest, and now I am about to graduate from one of the best fine arts schools in the US, and I did it by myself, without any pats on the backs, and for the most part (apparently) without a lot of my family even knowing.

I don't know. I guess that I am just upset that the family never really give a crap about what me or what I do but my brother and sister, they always get this fanfare and so on...I guess maybe I just need to get over it and stop expecting shit to change since it hasn't yet, why would I expect it to now?

Anyway...here are the photos.
