here i am


i'm back and to be honest, i was sad the first moments here, at home, i really felt like i wasn't ready. i did see my wonderful friends and get the pleasure of having a routine again. there is something great about space, and i mean space in so many ways.
one thing that i wasn't expecting was squirrels in my walls; its too much.

just a little

Here is a nice video about a fellow Philadelphian's wood working skills.
something to look at if you have some time to spare.
pictures will be up soon of this, i don't know how i'm going to manage after, trip through california. sun can be an mood and life altering substance, i mean, the people here actually throw their trash in garbage cans and the bums are surprisingly pleasant. i think i like it..

hassel hound


there are the times when you get home after a night of whatevers; when you find yourself trying to find the right song to listen to, the outfit that you think you could have the best dreams in, or mostly in my case, trying to fill the brita fast enough before you give up and fall asleep dehydrated.
i realized that while i'm watching the brita filter all those little things that i don't really know anything about, i have came to many conclusions about many things. there is something about watching those little drops that seem so tiny, fill the pitcher, even after you can't actually see the drops anymore and the water line is just getting higher and higher, there is something great about the whole episode. we have all been there, at the same time with the same intentions, waiting patiently, and in the end, the water pitcher full and all, with new conclusions met, i end up feeling like i figured out something new, like i experienced a realization or something. I usually end up going to bed with new thoughts and a good outfit to dream in; its kind of like the late night yoga for people like myself.

getting anxious

yesterday kind of slipped by without me really knowing what was going on. I read in a book once on what the author called flow. Flow is something you get when you are doing something and hours pass before you realize that hours have been passing. I can say that of course having fun will do that to you but there is some parallel between the two. The notion is is that you find the activities that give you the most "flow" and try to incorporate that into your daily life.

there are always those impractical things like searching through all of chicago's scene pictures (but) i did find a photo of these cute girls which inspired me to go to Pura Family corner store and buy a box of brown black hair dye and a cup of cookies and cream ice cream. after getting nasty, i made plans to lay on the river with a bottle of wine, followed by 25 cent snacks coming my my way.

to follow up

im still staying at the loft and i went to see the up stairs neighbors apartment. they had this marc jacobs ad on their fridge and i thought "oh yeah,i really liked that ad" without really realizing who it was at first, i figured it out and thought, " i was the last person to know that that cute guy was harmony korine" i watched all of his movies when i was younger and glad that i did then because honestly they are a little much, but amazing.
at 23 he made some weirdo films and a book that you can spend some money on if your really interested.

sweat versus greying



there has been talk about this thing that we call blogs. after talking to many people about this new medium called blogging, many people seem to have there own ideas for starting a one. i think, why not, its easy and you get to say, " we'll if you read my last post, it explains......." please do.. i'd like to know what you have to say.

light bulbs, they can make a space, comfortable, horrible, confusing, nice.
lighting is so important to the character of a space, having encountered many different lighting scenarios, i can say that many of my feelings pertaining to a space, have been due to the lighting factor. there is something so simple and great about how you can manipulate such a basic thing and make a completely new feeling and warmth come from this manipulation, the manipulation of light. the basic hope is is that i can understand this thing called lighting and master the art of understanding it.

after a night of dancing, being brave, and getting funny with some of the most beautiful ladies i know, cousteau and i are in the covers dreaming about all the minutes of our new day; what can we do to possibly make tomorrow be a day worth having a kind feeling for.
