anniversary

10 years together! 4 of them we've been married!

how to melt your brain

spend all your time in studio classes. no books, lectures, or reading; just work, work and more (art)work. : ]

School, bike, etc

Well, this week was our first week of school. We have 3 nine hour days. The other 2 days we pretty much are using to work on our art projects for those classes. It's all pretty demanding. We've been pretty rushed the last week and already had to pull one all-nighter to finish a project- mostly because we spent that whole day running around town to different art stores looking for supplies on foot- our car is unusable. We took it for some repairs and were without it all week. Upon its return we learned that the rear tires were concealing some pretty bad wear on the insides. The steel belts were coming through and the tires were separating. Needless to say it's much too dangerous to continue driving, hence all the running around on foot. It would have been nice to have my bike for all this; too bad some asshole had to steal it. I've seen the guy wondering around out back and trying to get into our basement doors to sleep. He steals other peoples' bikes, so I would assume he stole mine. Well he's an asshole and he's aggressive, too, and although I'm not a violent person, I can't have him trying to get in the house. If I see him back there trying to open those doors, I'm gonna kick his ass hard.

Now that all the venting is over, hopefully this next week will be a little more chill. Whew. Our cat misses us. OOh, but I AM getting a new bike this week, and it is new, but I'm going to cover that shiny new paint with a few layers of a vintage matte color. Not only will it look cooler, but also (and more importantly) it will look crappier. This makes it more desirable to me and less desirable to others. I'm keeping it indoors. So fuck off, neon ron.

Anyways, its now tetris and tea time ;)

west virginia

(transferred from a notebook)
on the road again.
yes, it feels good.

we are stopped at a rest area a little ways outside of charleston. we had planned on arriving at the festival early this evening and setting up camp there, but we had some car trouble that caused us delays. lucky for us, it didn't stop us from coming altogether, but the problem is not resolved, so there are some negative possibilities regarding our return to columbus. this is our first return back to west virginia since we left over a year ago. this rest area is a comfort and has welcomed us in with good vibrations all the way from the highway. we considered driving all night, but for some reason, despite all of my nervous energy, it felt right to stop and join our friends in the morning bright and early. there is something about sleeping in the car that feels like home to me (both of us, really). who needs hotels? the car is like a warm fire or going to grandma's house; yes what a comfort.

amber and i had a lot of time to talk on the way down. we expressed a lo of things regarding not only the present situation, but also many other things back home: school, sanctuary, wise men, self defense, the bus book, the perverted taoist, the mentally challenged intellectual nietzsche reader, momma's boys, our van, metaphysical roads, and tarot card readings. we have both learned much from this summers divine agenda, just as we learned much from our springtime. strong connections have been made which will produce fruits of good energy.

Life creates life.

yesterday / next week

there was some kind of weird energy in columbus yesterday. both amber and i felt it. not quite sure what the source was, but it has moved on.

on the lighter side, next week will be a time of great changes. we are planning to revisit our brothers and sisters in wv and and enjoy the festivities at their festival, all of which could not come at a better time; a prelude to a new quarter at school, which starts 2 days later.
