As strange as it may seem, I wished I was able to witness the information revolution happening in China right now. My visit a few years ago saw a government very foreign to me, and a culture struggling with its identity within the context of more modern emerging China. I was in Beijing, the capital and a very conservative city. The US president was coming...

Woke up to a body that felt like I had been through an old school 1984 LA punk rock pit, without a hangover to distract from the pain. The buzzer was ringing... repeatedly. As I struggled to the intercom, I realized anyone ringing this early was bad news...I struggled through showing the house - bleary eyed, and cuff links unable to be fumbled shut, with...

I sat down tonight and started to put together pictures from the World Press Photo exhibition, and just couldn't do it. I was in a dark quiet room, rain pattering on the skylight as usual looking at a screen filled with dead and dying children, oil spills and junkies - and I just had to put it off until tomorrow and go take a really...

Never drink with Russians!
It's always nice to find a comment from you on my page... unfortunalely, being still too busy for my own good, I check SG only once in a while...
So I have belated answers to do! First: Raed; do you give an eye sometimes to this website? (http://dear_raed.blogspot.com) I'm sometimes very intrigued by this site...it's almost too perfect.... to the extent it makes me sometimes ask to myself if life imitates art.
Then: Munoz and Sampayo... They are Argentinians, they both lived for some time in Italy, Munoz now lives part-time in France, Munoz is amazing at line drawing, he masters perfectly B&W techniques, they did several graphic novels most of them available in Spanish (Argentinian), French and Italian editions, but I don't think they wereall published in English versions, I think some were published by Drawn&Quarterly...

thanks for posting in sgla for me. would be nice to meet up with some of the sg crew over there. its great seeing my old friends but sometimes i want to spend time with ppl that i don't have a history with, and l.a. has way too much history for me personally...well, i guess that is why i've stayed gone so long. i've emailed you my contact details again - is that what you meant? really looking forward to hooking up and sharing a BIG bottle of something potent!
so you are looking for a job in l.a. too? do you know a good recruitment consultant...if my mom's health gets worse i may have to think about going back sooner rather than later and of course will have to have a job. would appreciate any advice. its been years since i've worked in california. i'm flying home on american airlines - most legroom available i think - although its wasted on me, so i'll have to wear the dior sandals to make up the space!

your place makes mine sound like a hovel, but i have location baby, location.

You should hit me up on AIM sometime, I can't install MSN at the puters at work. And I lived in MN from Dec. 01 to Apr.03, moved there for an SG member, I'll tell you the story sometime....

Today has been a long day of struggling with the desire to make meaning from the madness. I sat with a HUGE stack of papers, the culmination of years of work, study, heartache, joy...The papers each meant something to me - and as I picked each one up and looked at it, I was torn, I didn't want to trash the old journal or the...

Getting rid of papers can be tough...but ultimately, they're just things. You can hold a lot more in your mind. I have thrown out a lot lately (not to say what I'm throwing out is of the same personal significance as yours, it's just....mags and papers and vinyl and letters and things, not PERSONAL things) and need to throw out a lot more. It's part of the modern life. Choose wisely, sure, but don't be afraid of placing less importance on material things. (Hell, you're probably already more wise in this area than me, but hey...have to post something, right?)

Your friend is suffering, the same as i did. Amsterdam just starts to do your head in sometimes. You seem like a good mate to him and a really understanding bloke. I know you'll try to help him through any rough spots, and i think you'll be able help him out eminsly.
Happy to still have some friends in high places...
Sony just gave me 20 video cameras to give to the children's center I work with!
tons of things going on - and no time right now.
thanks for all of the support while the sun was not shining!

that's a lotsa video. Good for the conglomerate, doing something for (as Revolutionary Rick on The Young Ones would say) "the kids".
my soul is filled with contradiction
like the diva sings in the old Motown disco
"if there's a cure for this - I don't want it, don't want it"
Even though the words choke and meaning is lost
I still struggle to find a voice...
I sit sewing up the ends, sadly stitching the unmendable
in time we're falling apart together...

well, you know me, somewhere deep inside me, embedded at the core, i do believe it's the music that can set you free. and when you can find the right words (something you can connect to the way you feel) to the right music, it can truly be uplifting...
i had the live cd in the cd player the last day or two, and on my way home from the hellish day job last night i got to the cowgirl track just as i got to the golden state. and just as the beat kicked in, traffic seemed to open up for me... as i was zooming along bouncing in my seat and singing along, it struck me how much i was connecting to the song. amazing how a song you know and love can take on such a new meaning or mean that much more when the personal life and perspective changes....
Don't you worry about LA, it'll be here.

trilo I am in Jason's little apartment in Haarlem listening to the high noon churchbells ringing and ringing and the patter of the rain - they seem to serve as a reminder of how very far away I am right now. He has a beautiful view of the Grote of Saint Bavokerk and it's chiming for the commencement of the Liberation Day festivals across Holland...I feel...

The wind was amazing today, I couldn't sleep because every window and door to the outside was vibrating, shaking, and rattling with the wind's irritation - so I decided to go visit Jason in Harlem. We went for sushi - a rare treat in Europe (and the Europeans still don't get it...) and took a disco nap until midnight...

It's almost Eight in the evening, I had fallen asleep and awoke completely freaked out - still half-dreaming and confused about where and when I am. The rain is pounding, literally pounding on the skylight outside my room, and it seems to be switching to pea sized chunks of ice in waves of a few minutes long. I keep listening for signs of life -...

Information is not knowledge.
I keep getting these tidbits of information from people, but it is without context, and hence - meaningless, or close to it. It is irritating that I am expected to accept without understanding and I won't do it...
