That aint a surfin movie*, Architecture or street art?



On my way home from work today i took a bit of notice at some of the more modernized homes and thought about the architecture that went into them, i often think about what i would choose to build given the chance, i try and stay out of the box when i think about it, then i came across this guy who did just that!

            Today while working i found some inspiration from my cousin who i don't see often enough but still hold very close. I appreciate his words and his wisdom and this is my thanking him for reminding me how short life is and that every moment needs to be accounted for and enjoyed to its best ability, our lives are what we make them i plan to do great things with mine and the people i have in my life. i hope that over this next year my cousin and i can grow closer again and make more memories together. A Chance to be kids again. Much love Mike.

How Not to be...

"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior.  You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know.  Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now.  Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles.  You'll learn from them - if you want to.  Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you.  It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement.  And it isn't education.  It's history.  It's poetry."  ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 24, spoken by the character Mr. Antolini

The American Dream revisited

I try to avoid the news, over the years I have felt that the majority of things our media goes on about is lacking a certain...propreity. and not just our media, our legal system and the kinds of things we spent our time and tax money on are so trivial when compaired to real issues our public faces; education, health care, crime and taxes, our economic situation perhaps.

Instead our court system spends its time and our money on the sillist of things. Kind of makes me want to take a knife and stab it into "the whole idea of itself"
Now that'd be some top news yeah?

Its this sort of stigma that only furthers the views of our country to those around us...



Personally, I can't wait for the movie.
