Local Matters

Crowd mentality, group consensus, stage IV cancer, & wars between distant countries didn't like the food and left before the music got good.

Craft Power

I was eating some crackers from Kris and Brenda's company, Vida Foods, yesterday at work, and realized I survive off of a lot of products friends make. We're all so damn crafty! I've got pins by Leslie on my backpack, tshirts designed by Philip Diaz and Judit, got friends who make beer, build homes, design for fashion shows and make movies, watched Will build his hot tub over Christmas break, admired a fucking hand carved beautiful wooden DVD case Allen made for Sarah. I myself have learned how to make glow-in-the-dark art and wearables, raw food, and various construction tasks. I'd like to learn more about agriculture and winemaking, and that will happen soon. Also, the tshirt ideas list I have is getting longer and longer, time to do something about that. I don't feel too bad about any meltdown of society because with the crew I got, we'll be just fine. Downright comfy (assuming we can find a power source). Matt and Leila can supply all our robot needs and raw food doesn't even need cooking so we'll be fine, right? Anyone know how to make shoes? Or cheese? I think if we have solar power, robots, shoes, and cheese, we'll be ok.

It's really amazing how much energy we all have. It's very inspiring for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm not going anywhere, so it's good to have such powerful optimistic people in every corner. And I'm really glad I don't get the kind of anonymous naysaying posts on my blog that my sister gets. Either a lot of negative people know her, or her blog is well-known enough to gather that sort of creepy anonymous attention. It's really crappy!

I was going to watch breakdancing and stunt biking/boarding competions today at the waterfront downtown, but they delayed it by a day for some reason (they claim because of the weather but I'm staring directly at the exposed sun right now....um, maybe I should stop doing that, might hurt the eyes. Goood thinf I knoe toich ttping.) All good, I'm tired. Working is hard! I want to sit on the couch listening to the washing machine go round and round and read about weight loss and Anna Nicole Smith's death on the internet. Look at gross death pictures, comic strips, food porn. Fantasize about all the things I'm gonna buy once I've earned some money. Joe has the right idea. I think he's still naked today! He's reading nerdy blogs in the next room over while Francisco and Kris are off to see the first of THREE movies in the theatre today. They can't stop or the movie police might book them for being unfaithful. We're meeting up later to see that new Will Farrell movie where's he's a character in a book. Doesn't that movie look great????

Enough writing, too much effort.

I had the urge to say something creepy and negative and annonymous, but I just don't have it in me. Damn. I'm not crafty enough and will never survive your Target free utopia. How is that for creepy and negative? It's true too!
