awesome shit

finally got new gov't photo id, as well as a new social security card coming in the mail... which means i'm well on my way to getting my drivers permit. 

got my tattoo filled in, it looks great

new swatch obsession

financially secure

buying and acquiring a lot of great new/old music

have been making new friends and keeping the old

finally got hard drive working, backed up music/photos

living fast

bummers

maybe living too fast

vices and vices and more vices

loneliness

a lot of weekend days wasted sleeping all day

still have 'no game' and am just generally awkward around the attractive of the opposite sex

still have NOT joined a gym

procrastination not peaking, but persisting

time and space and shit

for some reason, maybe it's my lack of spirituality, i have been looking up more. but alas i find nothing there but the stars. i've never been a poet, so i didn't expect much.
the images of nebula from the hubble telescope seem to be the only thing that inspires me. so i've decided to teach myself more about the constellations and the NASA space program.


hubble space telescope:









oh man, look how great they look in 1959 (i think i found next years halloween costume) :

i can't believe i missed this tonight

i took a nap instead. i failed.

on a side note, does anyone know where i can watch full episodes of Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job..?

upcoming

this group show should be interesting. what a hectic week it will be though. fashion week is always such a blur. i'm already fucking it up, missing events to do my own thing.


case in point, i got this last night instead of going to the Impact Digital event:



i love it more than words can say. this is making me very excited for warmer days.
