Summer

SUMMER—it's finally here. The question is, what am I doing with my time now? I've compiled a list of TODOs. 

• listen to more music

• clean and organize everything I didn't during school

• compile and finish my unfinished projects from last term (the constructivist in particular)

• fix my bike's flat (blew a tube before a notable ride the other day)

• start cooking/eating better food again (been living off taco bell, etc.)

• get a platform bed

• communicate better with family/people I care about

• find my paints/brushes

• stop smoking the occasional american spirit

• meet more friends in the 'hood

• wake up early and start my days right

• read more of what I want to read/obtain practical knowledge 

• convert to cash—it doesn't go as fast as card

• contain my feelings when upset by injustice towards females in a male dominant workplace

• present a 'truer' representation of who I really am to those I meet.

• go to a dentist for fun

• plant things in the garden

• keep a child-like innocence about things in life, a curiosity perhaps.

• ride to work (there's a huge hill... it's daunting)

• practice my lettering

• wait for someone special to come along.

• be self disciplined in my art

• rediscover/solidify my spirituality/belief system

• get out of bed everyday—sometimes I just want to be so lazy!

• plan a weekend with my little sister who is all grown up.

• do my best at everything I do

• get my OLCC

• find a new job serving.

• move on.

There is a sort of accountability that comes with stating such personal things in a list on a blog. I'm hoping that putting it out there will make me more committed to the completion of such a list of goals. We'll see.

Listening to 'pale blue eyes' by The Velvet Underground and 'don't kiss me goodbye' by Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle. 

I had a reminiscent morning, I walked coffee cup and a spirit in hand to the park as the sun was coming up. I played on the merry-go-round and it reminded me so much of a film I watched last year about this time. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

My contacts weren't in yet so as the sun shining through all of the trees' leaves and I gently spun round and round, coffee in hand, it all came together in a beautiful blur of light and greens that reminded me so much of that film. Beautiful. I had to come home and listen to the soundtrack. Great start to my "Friday."
