I submit this to you, an "educational" piece:

I'm declaring myself on sabatical from filling this space with deep, philisophical thoughts. Instead I'm going to talk about art for a while. I've reignited my love affair with photography recently. I'm dusting off old vocabulary like "color" and "saturation".

My design minded friend was helping me find a rug for my living room this past Friday. After exploring that avenue, I wandered off to...

Some nights my demons peek out from the shadows in the room. I don't remember giving them permission to leave their cages.

My father once told me that when he turned 16, he thought he had everything figured out. He had all the answers to every question that could possibly be asked. He officially knew it all.

When he was 18, he looked back at himself at 16 and realized that he knew absolutely nothing. He marveled at his ignorance and his hubris. But now... now... he...

I take a deep breath and exhale slowly. The air smells sweet this afternoon. The sunlight brings a cheery glow to my apartment. Just a little more tidying up and then we're headed out to the park.

I'm currently on a spree of watching movies that allow me to experience profound emotions. Last night I watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" which is perhaps one of the best stories of love and devotion ever told.

Mini-Movie Review
Eternal Sunshine is a challenging movie from the getgo. I found the first half hour of the film rather disjointed. I almost lost interest...

I spent last weekend back in Colorado, visiting the most wonderful friends and family on the planet.

If you haven't seen Jet Li's Fearless yet, go now. Right now. No, I don't care that it's 8 am. Get over to the nearest theater and knock on the door until they let you in. You'll thank me later.

I went to the theater expecting to...

I wanted to see Friend-of-SG, Mike Doughty, perform tonight. Apparently everyone else had that idea too. SOLD OUT.

He was really sick the last time I saw him back in Boulder. Some girl was heckling him and saying shitty things. So he did the only rational thing one could do in that situation. He told her to "shut the fuck up". Then she cried....

*rises from the dead*

Ah. This weekend rocked. Played games, shopped for furniture/clothes, wrote, and hung out with friends. All I can say is that my life is charmed.

Victory! The fucking movers said they couldn't get my couch in my living room. That's the danger of moving into a 100 year old building in San Francisco. The head mover says it happens about half the time when someone is moving in from out of town; something won't fit in the place. I was pissed because it seemed like he was giving up awfully...

Got food poisoning last night. I think the first time that's ever happened to me...

I would have stayed home and slept it off, but this block gets very noisy during the day. Ah how I miss double-paned windows.

In all the hustle and bustle of moving, I almost missed something big that's going on with my friends back home. An old college buddy of mine is executing a grand project of going to New York for 30 days to make a million dollars. He's documenting the whole thing on video. So far he's got 7 days left and $13k under his belt. Not...
