First Nude Public Outing

Well, Yesterday was a pretty normal day for me I suppose. The heat was up there in the triple digits. You know its too hot when you can't touch your steering wheel.
I went to work early. The day went smoothly enough. I don't think I could have a drama free day at work. Everyday it seems as though I've been cursed with the worst job on earth. And yet, I stay. Some people would call that stupid. But I've put so much time and hard work into that place that I couldn't just leave without getting all I could from it.
After work, I was pretty exhausted but since I signed up for my gym membership I promised my self I would attend at least 6 days a week. I picked up my feet and dragged myself to go workout. It was the first time I used the gym showers. Weird. No curtains. Imagine my grief. But I grit my teeth and went for it. Public nudity isn't my forte but when it is necessary, I'll do it. Some of the guys there were so comfortable and walked around nekkid. Me, not so much. All in all it wasn't that bad of an experience.
Today I plan nothing. As usual. Go with the flow. Tomorrow I start summer school. Free studio time to work on my portfolio and possibly even make some money in the process. Not too shabby.

Work, work work. Thats all life really is. Not the worst thing in the world. Could be the best.

PS. On a positive note. A couple weeks ago I received the photo editor position at my school. Thrilling.

Wish List

I will be turning 21 in exactly 74 days.
I don't usually want anything for my birthday but this time around i've planned in advance. Nothing too special, but things I might need, or could actually get some use out of. And possibly one frivolous thing.
So here goes. The list. And I suppose I could explain why I want, or need this particular thing. May not be the most convincing arguments, but heck. Who cares.

1. Sandals. Birkenstock's to be more specific. Those really old style ones. Sort of 90's era. The brown ones. I use to own a pair, but I wore them out. For the summer, they would be perfect. They do give some pretty wack tan lines. But I must admit they are some of the most comfiest sandals i've ever worn.

2. Macbook Battery. So the story is that I bought my macbook about one year ago, and half way in the batter went kaput. So now I could only use it when it is plugged in to the wall. An extra battery would give me more freedom I suppose. Less hassle.

3. Books. I love books. Any books. Well not any books, but my favourite books are humorous books, or books that teach you something. Books.

4. A bike. I want to be more earth friendly, and a bike would accomplish that. I think.

5. Gym Membership- Time to reduce that gut. Nuff said.

6. Book Shelf- To put my books in obviously.

7. New Backpack- one of those that attach to your torso. I need it for hikes.

8. Socks- Socks are awesome.

9. A watch- Watches are awesome too.

10. And I suppose for my frivolous thing, it would have to be the Iphone. Yes, I know everyone has one. But they are the the it item, and I have succumbed to the will of the people and desire one of those pocket size life organizers.

Not too outlandish right?
Well i'll see what santa brings me.
Or whoever.....

Oui Oui

The semester is over and I don't know where to go.
I think a road trip is in order. Just wish I had a better car.
Need to get away for a while
Come back refreshed and ready to go.
Oui Oui

Miles to go

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible,is music. "
~ Aldous Huxley

Listening to Miles.
I close my eyes and bask in the bass of the strings.
My ears wide awake swim in the waves of the trumpet.
Gooosebumps cover my skin with the clinks of the piano.

I enjoy delving into music like this. Its very nature makes me feel alive and vigorous.
Describing it is the tough part. You have to experience it to truly know the meaning of jazz.
Some call it a mess. But I call it bliss.
I don't know what it is.
All the instruments melding together to form a melody that is one yet so many.
I don't know if that makes any sense at all.
But is it supposed to make any sense?
That is it's true beauty. You're always falling in love with it again and again.
The up's, the downs.

I must be in love.

Update

Sitting here with the tv on, sound low, wondering what the plan for tomorrow is.
I think i've been very passive these last couple of months. I don't like arguments very much. I'd rather just let things slide.
This is pointless.
Anyway. I've been in school all this time, stressing, studying, dealing.
Today I got a major career shock. All the things I have to do to start a business is staggering. Daunting even.
Paperwork, overhead, equipment, loans, studio, rent, food. Its not cheap. I think thats where I'll pass those expenses onto the client.
Soon hopefully I'll start to get things going. That sounds ridiculous.
I'm currently in the process of trying out churches. Last week was Catholic, next week will be Methodist, the next week after that will probably be Christian. And who knows I might even try the mormon church (cough cough).
But in my search for spiritual wellness, i'm more than willing to explore my options.
Life is good. Summer is here.
