Unconditional Yes is a collaborative participatory project created by artist, Robyn Love, and YOU the Simmons Community, that seeks answer to the question, "Have you ever made a decision with an unconditional yes?" You can answer this question with anything. Examples might be text, photographs, clothing, or artwork-all of which will be displayed in the Trustman Gallery and returned to you.

Mouthwash - Kate Nash

Alright - so beyond fantastic news. The Facebook group? 130 members. Obviously it's the place to be. SO if you haven't yet - go check it out (just search "Unconditional Yes").

Anyways, at the risk of being random and off topic - I present the first and hopefully the last  awkward 3 AM post. The kind of post that kinda just...skips around avoiding the point. Kinda like how I'm skipping around avoiding my paper. It's the kind of post you make when a paper is starring you down like a carnivore hunting its prey staring you in the face...a paper that is due tomorrow (technically today) - let me just say this: this paper is certainly not getting an UNCONDITIONAL YES from me. Okay, enough about my procrastination and poor study habits.

Kate Nash.

I'd love to ask her what her "Unconditional Yes" would be - for real.

In my defense of this random post...I think that this song is very 'Simmons' like. So...I'll just leave it at that. Oh, and the lyrics are below the video.

Speaking of which - I should be posting more videos - sneak peaks if you will - at what's to come! Ohhhh the suspense! Please, try to contain your excitement!  They'll be posted ASAP!!





This is my face
Covered in freckles
With the occasional spot
And some veins

This is my body
Covered in skin
And not all
of it
You can see

And, this, is my mind
It goes over and
over
The same old lines

And, this, is my brain
It's torturous
analytical thoughts
Make me go insane

And I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a
mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

And I'm singing
"oh
oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm
singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's
gonna be alright

This is my face
I've got a thousand opinions
And not the time to
explain

And this is my body
And no
matter how you try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

And, this,
is my mind
And although you
try to infringe
You cannot confine

And, this, is my brain
And
even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain

'Cause I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I've got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got
familiar faces
I've
got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

I'm singing "oh
oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna
be alright
And
I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope
everything's gonna be
alright
Oh oh oh oh oh oh.

Until next time,

Jessica
