Here are some photos from the Seaplane fashion show, namely of Sara Moen's (aka Decora) dress. Watch out for her, she's supah talented.

Disclaimer: SO - Blogger would not let me post yesterday. I created this post, tried to post it, and failed because the blogger guy was sick, our network here was slow, my computer is old: one or all of these reasons. The interesting thing about this post, is that I don't really feel this way anymore. Today I feel really tired from staying out too late.

mi·sol·o·gy: Greek misologia, from misein + -logia -logy:
a hatred of argument, reasoning, or enlightenment
I think that a slight confidence deficiency is taking up too much of my time…
I'm wondering if admitting that I don't know what I'm doing better than PRETENDING.

What's the difference between pretending and not pretending anyway?

So... I had it out with the girl who's driving everyone nuts. I told her she should chill the fuck out…and by the end of it, I think she go the point and may have even appreciated my input. Seth says I care too much…

PERHAPS: I LIKE ADRENALIN. I ENJOY being UPSET and then laughing...being... emotionally stimulated…some people squirt adrenalin directly into their veins…some even-out their overflow with vicodin…or religion.

Then there is the mediocre approach, perfected by the Taoists, and the Danish. Attempting to balance one's energy with good/bad..laugh/upset…life/death. Trying trying trying trying to stay in the middle of the continuum. MY PROBLEM:..my dilemma is... rather than balancing good and bad, I balance ADRENALIN with GUILT.

Our objects, as you know, are to ensure a more natural union between intellectual and manual labor than now exists; to combine the thinker and the worker, as far as possible, in the same individual; to guarantee the highest mental freedom, by providing all with labor, adapted to their tastes and talents, and securing to them the fruits of their industry; to do away with the necessity of menial services, by opening the benefits of education and the profits of labor to all; and thus to prepare a society of liberal, intelligent, and cultivated person, whose relations with each other would permit a more simple and wholesome life, than can now be led amidst the pressures of our competitive institutions." -Brook Farm

THEN: there are the rules and THEN: there is the implementation of those rules. These activities are not the same and require a great deal of accuracy…which is why I don't sew or bake...or bungee jump.

Concluding: I think my art might suck a little because I started thinking about what other people would like…what other people might want to look at. THIS IS GREEDY. GOOD ART this will not make. By nature, I'm skeptical.

Moral:
To experience without intention is to sense the world;
To experience with intention is to anticipate the world.
These two experiences are indistinguishable;
Their construction differs but their effect is the same.
