feet: postcards from switzerland

Postcards from Switzerland, part uno...

feet.

stop being so jealous. i am going to switzerland. i just found out like a couple days ago for sure. and i'm going tomorrow. i have business meetings there, with other business-people like myself (except they're swiss.). in addition to business meetings, i fully intend on frolicking in the hills (which WILL be alive with the sound of music), boarding the ALPS (i am jealous of MYSELF!), eating lots of eight-dollar-heart-attack-cheese-bread (i hear amazing things), riding lots of trains (that's what you do when you're in europe, duh), going to some sweet museums, seeing this mountain , and hanging out with this guy (and hopefully all his friends). CHEEEERS!!!!

hands.

a meager entrance into the world of film. sort of?

Me and puff-puff were bored after a dance party. so we made this real quick.

just imagine all the fun activities we could do!!!

since ramona got crunched, what i had wanted was this--ideally with a cream interior:

but i may have been off. what i REALLY want is this little chunk of heaven:

things i would be able to carry around:
-all my possesions
-an ice cream business
-a band
-everyone i live with
-scuba diving equips
-free furniture from the side of the road
-a little fridge full of jones soda

Here's to dreams coming true.

hands.

only february. and already such fantastic projects.

life secret mission #47 is almost accomplished!!!! get something in an art show. (there are no stipulations on HOW i would get something in there, i thought i might have to sneak a sneeze on someone else's art.)

but wait! there's another way!!! Art House does some pretty dope projectos to get more community involved in art...for this one they give you a blank moleskin museum book and you just do whatever your little heart pleases and send it back in. My sketchbook and all its new buddies get to visit Atlanta, Washington DC, Philly, Boston, Brooklyn, and Chicago.

My book is basically a plug for the 'call and response' movement, the purpose of which is to educate people about slavery in its various forms, and get people thinking of how they can apply their talents to help abolish slavery around the world...

peace out.

"Jack, I'm 26 years old. I didn't run away from home."

sometimes it hits me again that i'm grown up and i can do anything i want, which is probably pretty immature that it cheers me so, hahaha. it was a good week:
i went riding three times
i bought two pairs of shoes
i ate ice cream like every day
i figured out what i was going to do for
sketchbook project

i am fulfilled.

when you are good, you are good anywhere

FINI !!!!

it's always a bit, errr, dramatic--to throw away my stuff. but my fencing shoes are no good for fencing anymore. LE TRASHED! :(

i was never a good fencer, but it sure was a fun time. it taught me so many things. lunging. discipline. second intentions. french.
until foil crosses my clumsy hands again, adieu, mon ami. ADIEU.

people apologize on their blogs for not blogging in a long time.

:(

my immune system is defective

some possible reasons for me getting sick ALL the TIME
1. i don't use an umbrella and it's raining here approximately 89% of the time
2. i don't eat enough vegetables
3. bad karma because i just watched the bachelor and i was judging all the bachelorettes in my head
4. subconsciously i want to get out of work

but S. got me flowers cause i was sick!!!

COLORS!!! good job S, gold star for you!

we ate fancy hotel food and wore christmas sweaters and there was a horse named beyonce.

A.W. got BABIED again!

it's a boy.

birthdays are funnnnnnn

for L's birthday, i made a fun project...
1. lots of her friends, family, and some perfect strangers take pics with birthday signs. anything goes.
2. pics then compiled into book. (turns out this is much cheaper than having all the pictures blown up and put on a billboard in her city, which doesn't have many billboards and so sees fit to charge exorbitant prices. boring.)

Here are a couple of the pics from the book:

they weren't messing around

Not gonna lie. This is hands down, the best amazing grace techno re-mix I've ever seen. guffaw, guffaw. pause blog music.

PART TWO, SEE WHAT I MEAN?

They (whoever it isthat keeps canceling good things) have ALSO discontinued the use of the little red handi-snak sticks:

Who wants to dunk when you can spread with your own little-disposable-non-ergonomically-shaped-plastic spreader?
