sickness and health

Ok so I got back to Chicago in one piece only to get sick as soon as hit the ground. I mean damn it is COLD here I don't know what else I could have expected. Anyway, I've been feeling more creative lately but I can't tell if the work crap or not.

aaaahhhh

Before:

She's better than sex and twice as nice. She's Claudette, my savior and my damnation.














After:

I've learned something

Silence is sometimes more painful than the painful truth.

LowLight Mixes

I don't usually do music here but I just found this mix called Sequential Circuits again after it's been floating around my hard drive for a while. It's from Low Light Mixes and it just seems to be perfect as the sun goes down on Chicago tonight.

The nature of..

Mixtapes are cool but really they're very selfish. I mean really, what's more self centered than gifting music to someone so that every time they hear that piece of music in the future, they think of you.

Oh, I miss tapes, there was something way more tactile about the whole selection/mix process. CD's just don't have it.

Comments from the peanut gallery...

I love the jungle. I love my friends. I was a bit down yesterday because my shit was taken but I'm happy with my life, I really really am.

Just chalk it up to a moment of despair about money and not having any at the moment but whatever. Money comes and goes. Friends come and go, but not quite so easily.

I love you guys a lot. Thanks for being you.

no more pictures

So, I'm a TOTAL idiot and I left my bag unattended at a little boteco (corner bar) and somebody walked with it. I hate them for it but I'm more angry at my own stupidity. my camera was there and a sketchbook of ancient origin (a year or so of writings and sketchings...no big deal really...just a record of MY ENTIRE LIFE for the past year)...so as a punishment, as happened with my iPod, I will not replace it for two years. In one year I get an iPod again, two years (when I feel I can handle the responsibility again) I will get another camera.

It makes documenting work really hard but hey...that's why god created photographers.
