womp-womp-woooommmmmmpppppp

so yes, it was a bit of a roller coaster-y weekend... some details will most definitely be best remained locked in the vault of me memory collecting dust and cobwebs until i one day pen my personal memoirs (which ill get into another day...) BUT i did get to see Warren Miller's WINTERVENTION at the Pabst on friday!!! oh. sweet, sweet. little baby jesus. who brings us pow pow and the mental abilities to create a helicopter; HEAR MY PRAYERS! let it snow... 3 feet of white fluffy goodness tonight. and for every day after until february 25th. (i dont want to be locked in a blizz for my b dizz) Ahhh anyways it was magical... all about heli-skiing, and WAY better then last years. observe the trailer below:

just makes you want to run outside and put snow down your friends pants doesn't it?! sadly we must wait, since it is a few short days away from the end of october and the temperature has been about low 70- mid 80 degrees the last 3 weeks. 

IN OTHER NEWS: i have figured out my halloween costume, which i really put off til the last minute this year... and the winner is: PABLO ESCOBAR!! yes, i admitt i mostly chose this costume becuase i have long yearned to wear a fake mustache on haloween, and to be a bad-ass (stuffed olives, toasters, the Berlin wall, a tube of toothpaste? hardly intimidating, except for how much time and effort where put into their glorious creation.) So i will be the most bad-ass person i can think of, that wont get me hate-crimed.

anyway... think ssssnnnnooooo

poem

i used to write poetry all the time, and in the last few weeks ive been writting alot more. i really love it and it makes me happy and feel close to the world. i decided to post this once because it is my favorite:


A POEM TO MY HEART, because it needed one:

My tenderest heart, soft and light

I know you fear the loneliness of night

The coldness of a strangers touch

And the misery of rejection

My beautiful and ever-expanding heart,

I know your heart-pangs of worry

When you begin to lean against the warmth of another

And long to trust once again.

My wincing and fearful heart,

You are full to the brim with love

Your warm blood aches to beat in time with another

To be held by soft and loving hands that will protect you from all harm.

I too long for this for you

For the peace of security

And for the happiness of ease

And to know circumstance can never sever your beats from another’s rhythm.

Come my own precious and good heart

Come to my soft hands that will protect you from all harm

Lean against me and let my love warm your nights

I promise to always love you and secure you above all else

And I promise that for all of eternity,

No circumstance will ever sever our rhythms from each other.

my friends of all political parties and sexual orientations united! (but not at the same time)

sooo this weekend. it was a little redonk.  an by that i am referring to the title of this post. as boris and i bounced around from madison to mke and everywhere in-between, i came to a striking conclusion: my god, my friends are each vastly different species. its like the circle of life... you need everyone to keep the balance, and simba as king, but you really dont want to have lunch at the Pfister with both Sean Hannity and Hilary Clinton. but luckily enough nothing keeps me from a good time with amazing people and i was able to form a few new trinities while keeping with a much loved tradition... t party as consummate party-pooper and unwilling third-wheel.  (extremely apt example below)

i also wanted to share a few amazing photos from Estee Meuer... shes got passion

monochromatic color study

i think it needs tweaking but overall, its a good start.

tuesday

yes, this blog is called sunday... and this post is called tuesday. DONT FREAK OUT! anyways... i dont have much to post at the moment, but the good news is that i finished developing my two good rolls of film in the dark room today, and i am please to report, the negatives look CLUTTTCHHHH!! i know they will be amazing. as far as i can tell the real winners are a few pictures from the bio-dome; a gardern nome holding my shoes, me kicking a potted plant by a sign that says "do not KICK" ... i mean what the heck. why is there a sign about kicking foliage? im sure thats not the first destructive thought that comes into someones mind when they want to vandalize mini-climate shrubbery. there were also a few good ones of boris cooking food after the badgergame... lots of homeless looking kids wandering around mifflin outside the window... all in all im pretty sure there were a few, if not many, mega-winners.

until then, enjoy this picture i took of the sydney opera house!

KATE moss 1990.... THE FACE magazine

just a little morsel of awesome i stumbled across while i was supposed to be doing color theory. soak it in.....
