My computer isn't working, ill be back at the end of the week.

authenticity is invaluable

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. if you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. and don't bother concealing your thievery-celebrate it if you feel like it. in any case, always remember what Jean Luc-Godard said, "It's not where you take things from, its where your take them to." - Jim Jarmusch

THE READING TERMINAL

i think its safe to finally release this project my friends and I have been working on for about a month now.
the concept behind it is simple: five friends, five locations, endless tastes.
As stated on the blog: "Strewn across college campuses, five friends survey the varying tastes of their surroundings. Inspired by Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market, we aim to gather the fresh stylings of distinct locales. "



not only is it a great way for all of us to stay connected while were away at college, but more importantly its a place for people to get a feeling of whats going on (fashion-wise) at other colleges around the nation. so far we've been getting some great feedback, and hopefully there will be much more to come. ENJOY

affirmation #17

personal boundaries are critical.
set them in place and you will undoubtedly get reactions - positive and negative - from others.
perhaps no one will want to acknowledge your right to set your personal boundaries in any way that suits you.
instead you may be accused of being heartless, selfish or egocentric.
but in fact, it's in everyone's interest that you do, no matter what your perceived or actual motivation is.
by setting your own limits, others can learn from you.
they'll learn from not getting things their own way all the time.
they may see you in a different light too.
this is a profound lesson for each of you.
&
building a solid structure - of your carrer, your lifestyle, friendships or relationships, requires commitment. to make it last you need to devote a certain amount of energy to the task. only you can decide how much energy is required. and only you can follow through to completion. but if the foundation hasn't been laid properly the whole structure will be shaky. commitment is the foundation of any achievement.

first day of class

^ my campus, as seen on school daze, drumline, stomp the yard .. also the only parts of my campus that look nice haha

^ the first couple of days back at school in the AUC (Atlanta University Center) you will get bombarded with flyers. hair salons in atlanta really DO NOT play around.

^ thought this was weird

goodbye summer, hello fall

so today was epic in two ways:
1. i drove on a highway for the first time ever in my life (to the mall)
2. it was/is the OFFICIAL last day and night of summer break .. classes in the morning




^ so i usually cant find anything in forever 21, but today .. i did.

knowledge

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'."
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back"
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.:
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

(my favorite teacher in high school MS. WHITLOCK gave me this poem by MAYA ANGELOU my senior year before i left.)

wedge

Ive been searching for some simple all black wedges, and although these are not the ones ive been eyeing. i think they'll do and with time they'll grow on me.

affirmation #16

you have reached a point where you accurately perceive your own strengths and weaknesses. no longer are you fearful of finding anything out about yourself. not for you the false protections of self-deception. you welcome it all - the good, the bad or the ugly - because you can. be focusing on your strengths, anything else just falls away.
&
enlightenment and awareness are your goals. patience and perseverance are your tools. discipline and intuition are your allies. decide the sacrifices you're willing to make in pursuit of the desires you have. what decisions you make will determine the flow. the things you're willing to forego will be in proportion to the outcome you're seeking.

affirmation #15

regard all dealings with people as relationships, not just encounters.
then you'll see that each person has equal weight.
you'll be much more effective in any negotiations or dealings once you are both on the level.
&
reinvention is your passport to your (more glorious) future.
reinvention is renewal of mind, body, spirit.
reinvention is the only way to survive.
