will we be remembered

its funny how time flies, looking back through old pictures always makes me wonder how will i be remember and more importantly how i will remember these times... as september quickly approaches i cant help but to wonder how ill remember this summer. maybe ill remember all the lazy days kiel and i spent, fridays at pianos, early morning train rides, graduation, bonnaroo, but what i liked most was all the time i spent in outerspace, drifting, widdling away my youth, or young adulthood, probably more like it since im 24 now. ehh. i dont know, looking through these photos hopefully help me put into perspective the time as it goes by, and remind me it wont last forever. because as much as i feel jayz's forever young, no one is exempt. there is no forever young. youth is relative.

brilliant just brilliant

oh the beautiful people.
not really sure when this rollercoasters over, or if it just loops around and around forever. almost been two months since graduation and ive yet to figure anything out... i look at jobs and look at jobs, then stop looking at jobs. i have a job, not one i hate enough yet, but its a job, it pays, not enough but indeed it does pay. its weird, tonight i was riding around my neighborhood just to look around, and i realized that this the first place ive actually felt i belonged. my LA burrito on the corner, my bodega with 1.50 vitamin water, the L and M close by, my quiet little street, with cute trees.. i love bushwick. its understated underdeveloped overpopulated artsy haven... and then my mind like a flipped coin lands somewhere completely different, then i start thinking far away, back to europe, because that time almost a year ago is quickly approaching and i know my heart will start to long for it.. once the time comes. i dream of selling everything and abandoning this all my quiet street, the mta, my bodega, it all for something new and exciting, before this can even get old and normal. i curse the day when i bite the bullet and get that JOB i really want because then this rollercoaster i call life will pick a route and ride that out, and i will become restless yet again for another rocky ride. so until then i will take these ups and downs and hope to keep the balance somewhere between.

yerp.

so its been forever since i posted and a lot has happened. we'll start with school shit. so finished my thesis project, it was decent, not good enough to be shown at the senior show, but it was a relief. i was already over it before it was over. two weeks left and my head will explode if i dont get there fast. not much left to do just finishing up my portfolio, finishing the exhibition plan we've been working on, a paper, a presentation and finishing roxi refreshing rub packaging. i dont think i have anticipated something so much in my life. graduation tminus 19 days. wooo.

finished anthro last friday to an amazingly ackward end, learned a lot and left just in time. no more 6am morning commutes or cone rolling. gonna miss katie though and i wish her the best of luck. and needless to say, i'll be seeing my new "bff" cecilia around this summer. glad that chapter in life is over. work is work, eric stepped down from greenwich as manager.. so sandy is back, and i actually have no complaints yet, so this summer should be decent.

amongst this all i have been hanging out with kiel a lot, last weekend we went to see the yankees play the white sox at yankee stadium, and after lots of shit talking i was the last one laughing. sox 7 yankees 6.. sweet. we went to the tribeca film fest wednesday to see "sex, drugs and rock n' roll" and it was awesome. we also watched requiem and kids, which i hadnt seen yet, and found interesting to say the least... the rest of the weekend was much of a blur, i know we hit pianos on friday and sunday i worked at orchard then we watched office space. got my tickets for bonnaroo and to fly back to the chi.. so excited. this trip to tennessee will be the most ridiculous thing ever, and i cant wait to chill with dev, katie and megan. this weekend should also be good, were trying to see "exit through the gift shop" banksy's film.

otherwise, brit had a birthday and is coming up in two weeks.. yess. the photos today are pretty self explanatory, another episode of idols... jay z, thom yorke, steed lord, bill murry and yoko, john and sean.

not sure when ill be back again, but til then..

gold dont fool

wow its been a while.. a good while. so i flew out to the chi last thursday for a little spring break of sorts, had a beautiful time reconnecting with my people. lots of shit happened, went to two potlucks, celebrated the birth of a bff, totally rammed into the back of a car and he didnt get out, soo thankful, went up to milwaukee to see the art museum, it had been too long. went to the mca yesterday, the visit confirmed that it is my favorite musuem of all time. got amazing thai and falafel.. broke my no cheese lent diet, and got a goooey grilled cheese in wisconsin from cluvers.. amazing. got some new gear and a little cash stack, from the rents, basically the whole focus of the trip. no just kidding. reunited with the best bff ever. all in all had a very nice last spring break!

so while i was away, DJ Atrak, the love of my musical life, celebrated a birthday himself, so this is a dedication to him. its all connected. so atrak, is how i heard of medhi, who i hadnt realized yet was the amazing husband of my tattoo's inspiration the loverly fafi, he also brought theophilus london, who i had the pleasure of meeting a few weeks back, via kiel... and to wrap it all up i threw in this awesome double ring inspired by mr.keith haring himself.. a good week, some good music, and always some good swagger jewerly.

no homo... but my girl crush is kate moss.

if i had to suddenly play for the other team, kate moss would be on my wall. i cant remember exactly when my love affair with ms. moss began.. maybe about 5 years ago via vogue. but i think she is absolutely gorgeous. i know, i know, i know about the cocaine.. but wanna know something, I DONT REALLY GIVE A FUCK. i've done my share of vogue history and i think she is the best ever, yes i said ever. i know about heidi, giselle, twiggy, jane, this list goes on but stops at kate. she is perfection. i love these shots by Craig McDean.. hate me, love me, whatever but to deny kate moss from the number one spot would be a lie. thanks k, bye.

on a daydream.

what a week. geez. random. phone died on monday night. which was annoying. if you know me at all you already know that i despise cell phones. but i have accepted their necessity and coped. so when my phone died, while i was in mid conversation with brit, i was needless to say annoyed. so i went by verizon yesterday and got them to get my insurance cracking to replace my old phone. yesterday for exhibition design we went to the museum of natural history for a tour of their exhibition design studio, which was pretty awesome. i realized though that im not interested in the scientific exhibition arena... thanks though. then amad, sara and i hit up the shake shack for a healthy first meal of the day at 1p : a strawberry shake and fries. because everything else there had cheese or meat. fail. then i made my way down to paper presentation,, to cop some paper for my maps, which are turning out to be extremely exciting. i have six weeks to kick then into gear before the jury for senior show. i am excited that i figured out my approach today, on my morning commute, i got soo many stares while illustrating the map boooklets, awesome. today was pretty melancholy. had kingsley this morning, snore. then lunch with the bunch and profolio class. then picked up the new phone from the job. lurked around the village while discussing the intricacies of life with biz. until i got tired of sharing too much info about our lives with random strangers encountered... oh well up tomorrow for anthrooo.

fifi got into a little cab incident, but she is still too adorable for words, righhht? and keith haring.. is probably one of my top five people of all time.. this love in the air painting is really awesome, im not gonna sit here and point out the humor, because if you dont get it, you just dont get it.. plus there is a little personal irony for biz and i. dont know if anyones peeped the new kid cudi and snoop songs, but their pretty high up there.. lol. and last but certainly not least, probably the one that needs the most explaining, i NEVER read the harry potter series and probably NEVER will, and NEVER saw the movies, except pieces of one, but isnt this little mouse just the cutest thing ever. yess yess. bye bye.

OMG, foooooool.

reasons number 156789000 - 156789005 i wish i were going to sxsw and wmc. xx

that brooklyn bullshit, we on it.

biggie biggie biggie can't you see, sometimes your words just hypnotize me, and i just love your flashy ways...

i remember the first time i discovered biggie, for real, not just hearing that shit on the radio, but actually listening to a whole biggie album it was ready to die and it was probably '02. i was a little late, but since that point, biggie has always been on heavy rotation. he was truly a genius, and not to be cliche but he left this borough wayyy to early. NO-NO-NOTORIOUS. i remember last year when alex and i went to see Notorious in theatres, we went back to his place and listened to biggie all night, cause the movie, in our opinion didnt really do biggie justice.. soo much love for him and his music. he is probably also one of the first rappers, to make me realize, before i even moved to nyc, while i was in philly that i need to make it out to brooklyn... and now almost eight years later, i cant imagine being in a better place, just wish he was still around to motivate and inspire the next generation..

fly me away

i am going to take this second to flip off my exhibition design teacher, she is a moron. she treats us all like we are in third grade, no bitch we are seniors in college. i dont appreciate it, so i take all the time in your class to post to my blog, check facebook, study for other classes, and generally not pay attention, because lets get real, im gonna get an A in your class, i already know it. so thank you for being an annoying douche.

skeleton me

theres something haunting about this song, is more like their first album to me, which i fell in love with hard back in 2005. this video also reminds me of seeing them in london. karen o is absolutely amazing, she has this crazy energy that give you the most ridiculous buzz from any distance. i love the description of the inspiration, and this guy barney's accent. i feel like its an accurate comparison to me getting over leaving and missing london. skeleton me, love dont cry.

i mean.

this is my location.

this is what i need/want/like/love/desire/look for in boys...

i mean.

bling bling.

well more celebrity findings.. my taste verges on teenage but my interest mainly lay in post adolescent males and amazing women, creative, somewhat artsy, or just glamourous, hence my nicole richie slight obsession. whatever hate if you want.. then again, who doesnt love sam ronson, even though she played lindsey lohan... oh well, maybe lilo should stick to dudes. then we have steve aoki and atrak, I MEAN love. if early kate moss and johnny depp dont make you want their babies, maybe marc jacobs and mary-kate could have kids that come included with a cigarette habit and a free ride to rehab. then little boots will sing the final song that you hear on the road to the rehab center, and you'll just be happy its your kid, not you. cheers.
