new cycle
has the first week of new year been a good one? mine was mighty fine. i found letraset at home. have my own piece of helvetica now. priceless!! finished my seminar on emigre (THEE emigre, and must admit got the chills of trying something like it myself with few friends, must bring on at that brainstorming table) and for new years went to a little cottage for two days. first day was crowded, new years first was the best. like a family gathering. I started my “march on 2010″ with a great walk, the best view you can imagine to start the flow of ideas and imagination on what can we accomplish. just hope the spirit and happy thoughts stay with me. oh, the necessity of ups an downs, hihi …
finished my typography classes. eventhough i don’t get any mark because i am not signed as a postgraduate student (profesor allowed me to attend classes and cooperate) it was magical. it is a sort of a privilege to have in your week just things you love (typography and swedish). and at first when it’s hard to come to ljubljana, feeling cosy at home, still have a bigger “sense of belonging” there, days in ljubljana go by so fast and i enjoy them. let’s wait and see where i end up.
open horizons, let’s conquer the world!
every now and then i have to read this post by maynard james keenan, wise and never-standing-still man. gets me thinking. and wishing for a porch.
We do stuff. Well I do anyway. I see the sky at night in Northern Arizona and I can’t help but plan. I can’t sit still. I can feel the earth moving and I want to keep up and show her that I care. I want to show her that I know that my efforts count for something. She knows this. We tend to forget. But I forget nothing. My efforts matter. Your efforts matter. Every single heart felt effort, thought, movement, declaration, affirmation, ritualistic statement. It all matters. Life is too short to let all these opportunities/observations pass by unexpressed. I guess what I’m saying is … Get Off YOUR ASS and SAY/DO something. Even if it’s just standing on your porch, in your backyard, with your glass extended towards the heavens … Just declare that you care. Promise yourself/the Universe that you intend to make a difference. If we all did this, just imagine what a better place this would be. The whole world would ALMOST be as awesome as Northern Arizona. Snap.
