although i enjoy doing nothing on the weekends, it sometimes feels like a waste of time if i don't accomplish at least on thing. i like having a tangable result to look at and say, 'at least i got ________ done' (insert: laundry, various projects, partying, ...) so this weekend i decided to travel to my hometown and visit with friends and family. saturday brought opportunities for adventure in the form of a festival. the downtown art committee was holding their annual Jump, Jam, and JiveFest. artist from all over came to display their creations and hold demonstrations. i saw a glass artist sculpt some colorful medallions, a spray-paint artist create a universe on paper, an African woodcarver bring new life to an old log, and a blacksmith shape raw iron to his will. the transformation of thought into tangible objects always amazes me. my world revolves around logical linear thinking; i am unable to express my creativeness in any just manner. so i just appreciate those who can.

as the sun fell behind city buildings, a chill invaded the air. it was a nice crispness compared to what evenings will be like in a month or two. the crowd mulled about in anticipation of the headlining musical attraction, Los Lonely Boys. I am happy I heard them play. they are extremely talented. their set lasted almost two hours, full of instrumental rifts and easy-going melodies. at the conclusion of the night, i retired to bed glad for the shared experience with my friends.

better than doing nothing by a long shot...
