What do curtis.pcfire.net (previously curtis-m-kularski.info), claymentality.net, kularski.net, disturbingthoughts.net, curtis.kularski.net and [censored].net all have in common? Attempts at me expressing myself and sharing myself with the world. Some of these attempts have been successful (DisturbingThoughts, Clay Mentality), but others I’ve given up on. Now it seems like I am seeking to express myself more, but in […]
Welll… after some digging, I did find a course in the engineering field that will allow non-majors to enroll, unfortunately, it isn’t that practicle. The course is “Design of Intelligent Spacecraft” (ECGR3090, section W01 for those who want to register), it is technically “special topics”, so the provost doesn’t have a course description for it, […]
I was just glancing through the availible courses for the Spring semester at UNCC, trying to perhaps round out my schedule with something substancial, but all of the fun courses are closed to non-majors or require weird types of pre-requisits. I want to take Intro to Mechanical Enginerring, Thermodynamics I, Fluid Mechanics or something along […]
All of my UNCC ceramics work, plus a set of 27 bowls I made at home, have now been posted to my ceramics website at http://www.claymentality.net/index.php?pagekey=work&RecordDate=2006-12-17 There are 148 pieces from UNCC this semester.

After many tense moments of waiting, configuring my pieces on the table carefully, then going to the glaze room to wait for my chance to defend my pieces, I was confronted with a single question before the critique: “Curt, where do you see yourself in the future?”. I was unsure of how to answer the […]
In a few hours I will be getting up to go to my ceramics “exam”. My final grade will rest on my 25 self-selected pieces. I have over 140 pieces completed, and I haven’t been able to convince myself that I have selected the best 25 pieces. I spent a lot of time looking over […]
Two days ago was the 12 year anniversary of my grandmother’s death. During the day I conducted myself fairly silently and in a mode of reflection and attempting to resolve the ongoing mourning in my head. Every year on December 4th I have either cried, been depressed or otherwise had problems functioning, much like the […]
This quote reminds me that we all fail to know ourselves at some point and we should strive to talk to ourselves enough and acknowledge all that is true in our worlds, no matter how dark or negative it may be. It is one distinct reality to be not truthful externally, but quite another when […]
