This is gonna be a stupid question, but why the hell can't I view my friends' entries further back than the first page?  I hope the answer is out there and I'm just a dumbo...

11:39 am - I swear...

Sometimes I just want to shoot myself.  These people I go to school with (for the most part) are completely ignorant of everything outside of their parents' houses and parent-bought dormatories and apartments in this city.  Some girl was talking about a "friend" of hers that stole $12,000 of shit from Claires before he got caught.  Then this whole "moral" issue of stealing came up, which they all say is wrong, wrong, wrong.  So I pipe in with saying it's different if you steal food.  But oh no!  These people have no fucking idea what I'm talking about.  "No, it's the same thing, stealing is stealing" they copy each other like a fucking broken record.  Then some girl says that my argument is weak in which I reply that she's never been hungry.  I can't even explain how pissed off these bitches made me.  I should just chalk it up to the fact that they're young, but even I wasn't that naive at 22.  These people have no perspective outside of corporate America and what is best for corporate companies, what we've been taught is "wrong" by society.  But I'm sorry, if I'm fucking starving and going to die, I'm gonna steal that shit.  With the amount of waste this society goes through, Uncle Sam can throw back a dime for my cause.  Fuck this shit, these people suck.  If anyone can redirect me to aware beings in New York, by all means do.

8:27 pm - Found out today...
That I will be entering a huge plastic vagine (aka MRI machine) on Monday to cross-examine the who's and what's of what is in my tongue.  Leave it to me to be funny when I'm nervous.

9:07 pm - 11 Spring Street, NY

Here are some pictures from the outside of 11 Spring Street in Soho from Dec. 16th.  I stood outside (ill prepared) for 2 hours, waiting to get inside on 1 of 3 days that this street art-bombed building was opened to the public.  Unfortunately, the batteries I bought were supposedly bad, and I had to leave before I got in to get paid by my lazy boss and then rush to the airport and barely make my flight.  I'm sure if you're interested, the wooster collective will have better pictorial coverage of this event.  Enjoy anyways!

On the way to work yesterday, I passed by something that caught my eye.  I looked down to see some black mouse trap with a half-alive mouse stuck to it, it's body heaving, not in an attempt to get away but because whatever chemical was in this piece of shit trap was probably melting it's insides to an oblivion.  I almost fucking puked.  If We as a country, society or whatever do not have enough compassion/humanity to stop liquifying and murdering animals, how will we ever stop murdering humans?

In leau of my sissy missing New York and because of a class assignment, I took some photos today of an area about 10 minutes from me.  This is Fort Greene, Brooklyn and kind of Clinton Hill area pretty near to Pratt Institute.  I was going to work Sunday and woke up at about 5am for whatever reason and couldn't truly get back to sleep.  When I walked outside, everything was quiet and the air was crisply cold, like the perfect fall day.  I walked a block and found out the reason for the quiet...the NYC Marathon ran up Bedford Avenue, right through my ghetto, and it sent this feeling through me as I watched these people bike through the hood.  It was kinda surreal how different their lives are than the people surrounding them, people whose goal for the day was racing a 15k instead of just getting by without incident.  Anyways, here's some photos for your...

4:34 pm - whoa babyyyy...
I went to a bar last night in Williamsburg...i.e...the capital hill of Brooklyn. I had heard that there was breakdancing on Thursday nights, and was stoked to attend and get something regular into my weekly schedule. So we show up around midnight, and take a seat to watch all the weirdos booty dancing to some OK music...not the best, but alright. This guy sits next to me and we start laughing about tons of shit, so that was cool...especially since I found him attractive (imagine that!). Another friend shows up and were havin a good time...and then it happens. This cute skinny (translate: hipster) girl with assymetric long hair asks me to dance. She proceeds to grab my hands with her that are like half of the size of mine. They're kinda sweaty or juicy, too. yikes. I have the "deer caught in headlights" look, I'm sure...but it didn't matter cause she was sooo drunk. I told her fully that I dont dance in public and she didn't give a shit, because she proceeded to dance around me and slightly feel me up while my friends too pictures. I admit...I must get over my fear of the dance floor. But maybe this will truly happen when someone I trust brings me out to dance...not the assymetric hair lady and slimy hands! It wasn't so bad, and I wasn't such a rigid lil thing, but I was definitely not comfy...and then she offers to buy me a drink. hahah...you know the usual response...and then she says they probably have pineapple juice. Turns out her name was Lickey...or Rickey...dunno for sure since the music was beyond loud. I was felt up by a girl named Lickey who couldn't even spin me without being on her tip-toes...oh man. I definitely have to get those pictures. This is the second time I'd been out at night since I was in Seattle...the time before that was last weekend where we saw some band play with dildos on their heads and fake (or real) pooped stained diapers. Ohhhh brother...

Thanks to the Jews, I didn't have school on Tuesday/Wednesday, therefore I stayed out until 5:30 in the wee morn on Tuesday night. Went out for Andrea's birthday to some bar called the Fat Black Pussycat, which led to passing by some comedy club and them spotting Dave Attele (sp?)...the dude from that Insomniac show I've never really seen. We ended up hanging out with him, a guy named Judah (was in American Splendor - I also have not seen-)...and another guy Brody (also a comedian). That made for definite good times, and some VERY drunk girls to hang out with. It's crazy out here cause bars are opened until 4am, and we even found one that was opened til 5. Everyone was from L.A., which means they were a helluva lot friendlier than if they were from NY. Very interesting night, indeedy.

Found out that Chinatown is having a Bite-Of-Chinatown of sorts, with food only $1-$2...fucking SCORE on some Chinese vege food!!

Oh yeah...!!!DANA!!!...remember that boy that suddenly was all into me before I left?...that shy guy from the War Room that took 5 minutes of him beating around the bush and he couldn't even ask for my phone number??...the guy that showed up at Lofi my last night and told me "the only reason I'm here is you"???...well...he's in New York right now...with.his.girlfriend.

Boys are a crock of shit. Where are the men???

If anyone has seen the trailer for Domino, I think I'm gonna cut my hair like Kiera Knightly when she's a badass...yes...

Went to the Cooper Hewitt Museam today and saw a show about "Extreme Textile" which was cool cause they had clothes that people fly in...just like Batman! They also had some woven pieces that are used in heart valve surgery and shit...crazy...

Then I ventured to the MET where I saw some Matisse artwork as well as Monet and various others. I'm soooo not BIG NAME ART oriented, and felt like an extreme moron for only knowing some of the pictures from postcards. And still, the thought that something so famous and old would be hanging for the general public to see? That's still weird to me. Oh well, these were my first museums in probably 7 years.

Things are beyond hectic here, I haven't been able to stop with homework or my fish-dressed-like-Andre-3000 project in the last 2 weeks...I'm beyond my last pair of clean working underwear. Pathetic.

Went to Central Park today...yet another first for me. Breathing fresh air does wonders...and having the time to feel sunshine? This is the 2nd time in a month.

Met some random girl on the train...we shared laughs for a few stops. xDrewx would definitely have a thing for her...gorgeous Latino lady.

Broke-danced my ass off last night...so much that the palm of my hand scraped on the floor, so now I got a boo-boo.

Gotta go work on color swatches now for a teacher that decided to take pictures of us on our first day to make a seating arrangement spreadsheet...and then he mentioned something about how collage means something in some language and how it ties in with pantyhose.

My life is a comedy.

Had an exciting weekend featuring Mr. Wiggles and the Electric Bugaloos at the Battery Park Cultural Center. Thought I was taking a subway to some faroff land, only to emerge into the center of some breakdancers on a huge stage. They had it set up where "donors" to this center had roped off sections...but unfortunately the layout people were retarded, and these upppppity donors' view was blocked by several paid-nothing-to-see-this people...which lead to some loud-mouthed OLD New Yorker yelling EXCUSE ME and banging her old english umbrella on the fence the entire time. I doubt she even knew what she was looking at...fucking old rich people.

Yesterday I took a walking tour of the Soho and Lower East Side street art, which was amazing to be around the type of people that appreciate it. It looks like I'll FINALLY be able to do whatever I want, and put it up for the world to see. 4am storefront bombing? Sounds good to me. If you wanna see more, go to woostercollective.com

Got a call back from 1 of the 2 places I applied to. This one is in the textile industry...so well see how that goes.

That's all I got for now.

This is my last update in a bit.

I'm leaving for NY early Wednesday morning, 6:10am flight. It feels weird to wrap everything up, and know that I will never be at this same place in my life again. And it's a sad feeling that I'm leaving when I finally feel comfortable here. One more night at the War Room tonight and Lofi tomorrow night, then i have to find a breakdancing venue in New York.

Had breakfast with Aaron Edge this morning, one definite overdue event. I've always liked how we come in and out of each others' lives and have news to reflect on each time. It makes our meeting every-other-month completely worthwhile.

Stopped by the bike shop because W. has still not returned my phone calls about my "made over" bike. So I stopped in, and found my bike exactly where it was, with guess what? NOTHING fixed on it. I left it there 1.5 months ago and was told it already had about $200 worth of parts enhanced on it. Well...it hasn't. So I took it. Let him sweat and think it was stolen.

I've been spending a ton of time with Micah, who gets more interesting everytime I see him. I am now his spaceship best friend, 18 yr. old girls watch out!

Still crushin on the same Mr. and didnt get to spend time with him on Sunday, which means I didn't get a goodbye...which means the next hello will be amazing...and hopefully in NY.

And that's all I got cause I have 25 more things on my to-do list.

9:30 am - Neeewww yooorkkkk
My trip to NY was, lets just say...fruitful. After suffering the humid subway system and random Oompa-Loompa-dyed muffs before 11am, I successfully acquired residence in a huge loft in Brooklyn with a Rastifarian (sp?) lady and her 8 yr. old son. The space is huge for only having 3 people, and less $$ than the one I was looking at previously. I figure I'll be giving the majority of my furniture to my parents, so this is the first time to actually be a minimalist (hallelujah!).

I'm guessing that I'll be moving the week of the 15th, but not before a last night at the War Room and Lofi on Mon/Tue. Which means my goodbye party will most likely be the previous weekend.

My last day at work is 7/29 (next Friday!), and I plan on getting my tattoo touched up during the day on Saturday, then heading up to PA to see Marty and others before I leave.

I will have approximately 2 weeks to do whatever I want (finally!), so if you want to hang out with me, give my ass a call.

Other than that, I'm learning how to do some kick-ass handstands, and am enjoying being hit on...woot woot!

3:07 pm - bummer
Two months ago, I received an email from Central Saint Martins (London) wanting more artwork for acceptance into their Textile program. If you've read a while, you'd remember I didn't get in last year.

Two months ago I sent them an amazing journal to knock their socks off.

Two weeks ago, I found out that I knocked their socks off.

One minute ago, I signed a form declining the offer to study at their school.

There are too many factors leading to my decision to not go to London, and choose to go to New York. I see the choices as equal, not 1st and 2nd best. Regardless of my decision, I still didn't want to sign that damn form.

Confirmed:
July 15: New York for 3 days looking for loft shares in Brooklyn.
July 29: Last Day of work
Mid-August: Move

current mood: nervous

3:20 pm - Just so you know...
So I think my "breakdancing" injury has hit it's peak in coloration. The numbness (yellow area) is slowly turning painful, which is lovely unto itself. But no, it doesnt stop me from trying bridges and landing on my back. yeah...just call me Cankle.

2:28 pm - whoops
Despite my best efforts at breakdancing last night, I ended up practically breaking my leg after landing into my opened dresser drawers from a hand stand. Sure, I was getting used to the feeling of my weight on my arms, until my own tilt came into effect and caused me to tumble sideways. I anticipated falling into my bed, or back on my feet, but not into the shit on the sides of me. whoops. Now I've got a constant color-changing bruise on the inside of my right calf, measuring 8" long, 5" wide and swollen like a lady in her first trimester.
Regardless, going to watch breakdancers on Monday and Tuesday nights had made me feel so calm the past 2 months. I dunno, I saw some by mistake at a show in Vegas a few years ago, but never thought I'd find that sort of thing up here. I've met some really damn nice people recently from going, it's amazing to think that genuine people are still alive and thriving in Seattle. I guess I've just hit the jackpot. Oh yeah, these people aren't drunk either...and they remember my name.

On a side note, I havent mentioned that I was accepted into school in New York this past month. I was waiting to say anything until I got an answer from London, especially after I sent in my sketchbook yesterday for further review. So in that respect, I think that's why I've been getting out and doing things for myself recently. I know that in the very near future, I will most likely be by myself and trying things out in a new place, so I might as well get started here and see where it leads.

I'm also sewing massively for a friend of Micah's fashion show at the end of May. His clothes are fucking AMAZING...and I'm not saying that from a retarded-into-crap-fashion sense. I know what the fuck I'm talking about, and even if they weren't paying me, I'd do it just to be involved.

Oh and Micah...was hoping I'd stay in town and start a business with him. And he wants to make more plans with me, which is definitely a good thing. I wont mention anything else, but things are progressing nicely.

9:47 am
So in visiting the Library yesterday, I was approached by a man in his mid-late 40's with a script in hand. I had previously made some chit chat with him an hour before, but he still approached me with slight caution and reserve. He asked me if I would read his story, and do whatever I wanted with it. I could feel his eyes searching my face for news of his fate. I could see that he was afraid I would say no, and whomever he thought me to be was hoped inaccurately.

So I agreed. I sat down and read for a half hour about moments that pass us that could mean so much if only we acted on them. With everything I read, there was his inner voice wondering everything I've ever wondered when making eye contact with a stranger and never seeing them again.

He came around a while after that and we talked about specifics of the story for a good 10 minutes. His thought processes and writing reminded me of the type of man I've only read about...an olde-time hopeless romantic. I let him know exactly what part of the story hit me, and the parts I couldn't let go. He explained some of the verbage I didn't recognize, and got nervous looking for a few sentences in his own piece.

I asked him if this is what he does, go around and randomly pick people to read his writing? He said no, that I was the only one he was going to show it to. He asked me "would you like to have this story?" and I met his question with confusion...like...did he want me to read it again? I told him no, I didn't want it. I would want other people to read it. That's the answer he was looking for. He told me that whatever I told him about the story would show him how to proceed with it. I wanted to ask him why he was so nervous around me, but I think I know.

He asked if I wanted to get coffee downstairs, and I told him I wasn't done with my library search and had to work. I dont know why I lied about working, I should have just told him I planned on going to church. I could tell by my response that he felt his intentions were miscommunicated. I told him it was nice to read his story, and he thanked me for taking the time, and maybe he'd see me again.

Eli: "So are you gonna go after him?"
Me: "I dont think it would work so well"
Eli: "Why's that? You have to go for what you want."
Me: "Yeah, I guess. But what I want doesn't really fit with what everyone else wants, 'hi, you're hot but I'm not gonna fuck you, so you wanna be friends and maybe makeout sometime?'"
Eli: "Yeah, I get it. You're a tough sell"

So at the Crescent last night, this dude approached me and we talked for a little while.  Guy was alright, but acted like he's never heard of someone that doesnt drink.  He went as far to ask me if I'd done heroin or other harder drugs.  I dont see why it's so hard to understand that someone could not want to be intoxicated in any sense...or the fact that nothing tempts me.  Ten minutes later, he proclaimed that we would have the most beautiful and smart children together.  He mentioned his high IQ and such, which leaves me to being just a face. 

I love it how I never get approached...and when it DOES happen, I've got a nice little entertaining story to tell everyone.  Yes, I appreciate the fact that the guy has balls to walk up to me...but telling me you'd like to start a family when I'm trying to get used to your alcohol-breath...that's where the appreciation ends.

It's not like I'm looking for love, but I was opened to it.  But it just feels like it's time to throw in the towel on this subject.  Building friendships seems to be the only route to go...and that is not the road less traveled.

Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please don’t you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though I’ve looked everywhere
And I can’t find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.

So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Don’t you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, something’s trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.

So don’t you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, don’t you forget me, Lord.
Well I don’t think I’m any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I don’t think you’re gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I’m never satisfied. Whoa.

Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, don’t you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I can’t find me anybody to love me
And I’ve looked around,
I’ve looked everywhere, everywhere
And I can’t find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.

So honey don’t you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, don’t you go off and leave me, Lord.
Can’t I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you’re all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And something’s trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.

Oh please, please, oh don’t you go and
Forget me down here, don’t forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, don’t you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
Hmm please, don’t you leave me, Lord.



current mood: blah

7:09 pm - A question to you all:
Does anyone know of any positive female-led music assortment/group of any kind (hardcore, hip hop, etc) that actually live what they preach?

Any help would be appreciated.
