i really dig these pictures. i consider myself to be a decently creative person, and enjoy drawing, painting, etc. took a photography class in high school, thinking it would be fun and not-too-hard. found out i take horrible photographs. and how truly difficult photography really is.

thanks for the printed word recommendations. while i was at the bookstore, trying to decide what to buy, ron suggested 'me talk pretty one day'. there must of been some kind of weird karma.subliminal.vibe connection, because 'me talk pretty one day' caught my eye, and i remembered that my neighbor had recommended it to me a couple months ago. and that's what i picked up. came home to find his suggestion. :) i was also tempted by 'fast food nation', but $25 was a little steep. hoping the library just may have it. headed there today.

trip planning. there is just something i love about it. the mental excitement of planning is almost as good as the travels. you have this growing excitement and your head is reeling with all the enlightening.adventurous.humorous times you will be having. along with seeing friends. i am planning to see one of my closest high school friends. we haven't seen each other in seven years. wild. and my grandparents. my mom's parents. wonderful people, living in the country in eastern pennsylvania in a house my gandfather built. as i get older, i have a stronger appreciation for the simple lives they live.

looks like a plane just crashed into the world trade center...no details, but that just does not sound like a good thing...
