WHY

is the "liquid" in pad commercials always blue...


oh and why and I insane? 

Looking at Poetry

I really enjoyed the readings from this week. The poems were an interesting departure from more classical literature that had previously been covered. Both the poems share some commonalaties but each have their own tone and voice.
Both of these poems deal with the issues of misconceptions about native Americans and the issues that  arise from that ignorance every day. The first poem by Diane Burns is the softer of the two. It takes a dryer more sarcastic tone to Chrystos poem, which is filled with rage and desolation. Both writers deal with the struggle of overcoming deep stereotypes within and through their work. They both utilizes a dark humor that at times seems a bit macabre.
We are supposed to write about how we personally relate to these works. I do not think that I can honestly do that. I do not have any experience with what these two people have gone through. I have never been brutally and systematically discriminated against. I can not empathize with them. That does not however mean that I don't care. That raw nerve that these poems get to is amazing. I might not be able to understand their situation but I can understand exhaustion, I can understand rage, I can understand isolation and fear. These poems reach more than just people who can understand, they reach to the heart of what makes us human.

I am suffering for no reason

Killing myself slowly for lack of something better to do

Crippled by an idlillic situations

I'm scared of the world
Scared of sucess
Scared of trying

I idolize the souless

Hoping mine goes on vacation so I can get somthing done

Falling for apathy

Because its easy

Damn

$69.38, I hate you

What can I say

I am exhausted.
But I can not sleep.

I hate the first night in a new place.
After being at home.

Everything that was safe and secure is now scary.

I dont know where things are.
Where I stand.
What is happening.

I feel gross and icky.

I know that this place can become comfortable
But will it ever be home?

"Every living thing dies alone"

I am coming to terms with this

All we have in the end is ourselves
And I am not good company

I am only north of two decades old and yet I look back at my life with as much regret and bile as the boys in the enola gay

Cathartis on a schedule, life is funny that way

:)

Calm day,
got some sleep,
got a project done,
went to class.

Nice suprise in the drizzle
the cupcake shop serve drip intellegencia

warm all over and now hiding under the duvet

have to write a paper but I think I am going to eat something first...

I HAVE FOUND IT!

 this is it...


the 11 maker


the ULTIMATE hipster accesory


The Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness

Clean lines and tres chic
It also boasts the first transparent LCD screen, yes pretty impressive.

And heres the kicker

It is literally the anti-iPhone.
Just like your first little pre-paid brick this baby does NOT have gps, NOT have apps, and does NOT even have GAMES


yep, let that sink in for a moment


A cell phone with the functionality of a phone...

yes it has a MP3 player and a built in radio but still, pretty much cellular minimalism, oh and one BIG perk that I bet your cellphone never will have,

1 Year of concierge service free....so yeah

who needs apps when you have a team of people at your beck and call...



so pretty much epic win for you Sony-E
*golf clap*
you have made a phone for people who have people with iPhones


+ add on a urban outfitters-esque ad camp. and nearly $1000 price tag and whammo HIPSTER GOLD




So bathe in the glory of perfectly balance minimalism and elitism

Because isn't that what makes us special?

Burried in books

Only 2 weeks left of school, give or take a few days.

Ready for it, but not for finals. Always ends up feeling like a battle and I just have to keep taking deep breaths and reminding myself that I CAN do this, and it's NOT the end of the world.


breathe in



breathe out


there we go


On a side note:
Never knew that Frank Lloyd Wright was so awesome, I mean I KNEW he was awesome, but looking through old renderings for projects that were never built blows my mind.


Now: I think I am going to extricate myself from the mass of books that is currently my bed and go make myself a sandwich.

Later: Do Bibliography, outline paper, GO!

Ponderous

Tired, sad, and bitchy

Sometimes the world seems really unfair...

...and sometimes I am just lazy

Death makes you think about life...

..perhaps re-evaluate a bit

My current thoughts go out to the Almond/Brown Family.

No words can suffice for what has happened.

I send my love...

So many words

Not enough time

I yet again must apollogize for the lacking quality of this post.
A doozie of a weekend.

Good food

Some corporate sponsorship

A few old friends

and of course....

Publish Post

...a political message.

Lovely weekend, lovely city, and a new taste for brisk jogs. 

Thank you one, thank you all.

hoppsan

Not going to lie, a little over served last night....by myself.

Yeah I thought so...

A little late night magic

Snufkin + YSL Fall 2010 RTW = Meine Berliner

A little homage to a truly amazing blog found Here.
And to my inability to go to bed in a timely manner.

Passtime bright and early, oh boy

Piles of Books

Librarys are the bees knees.

Versailles and Wright, Juxtaposition anyone?

Finished of the acdmeic day with a bucket of mojitos and sweet potato fries served in a paper cone.
FYI: the Blue cheese dressing is the ONLY dressing for sweet potato fries.

Another week successfully survived, skoal.

My plunder

Made away with some ma-jah swag, croco print tiles anyone?

This was promptly followed by a sense of surrealism leading me to not achieve very much at all.
Instead of studying went to the park and watched Gilgamesh....good stuff

Also...made this biggest bombest sandwich ever....

Let's go on...

....AN ADVENTURE!!

Tomorrow(well actually today)
Natural stone gallery get ready!

PS Happy Mothers Day

So while perusing the information superhighway this happened...

Oh how I remember this baby, hours upon hours of shitty illegible handwriting. Not going to lie, kinda gave me a moment...ahh childhood.
My mom is amazing FYI. Je t'aime <3 and all of it XOXO

A General Amount of Coffee

List of things that made this weekend nice:

• Sleeping in

• Not stepping foot in Walker (at ALL)

• Vintage Dr. Who Specials 

• Not getting in trouble for almost forgetting mothers day

• Blue Bottle Coffee Co.

Getting lost with Cokie wasn't that bad ether.

Relaxing was nice, worked on homework today...well I guess yesterday....by 6 minutes


+ I love myself some exposed rafters

I am so coming back... architecture

THIS!

IS A BRAND NEW DAY!

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT i
