bitter sweet cycling

Riding my bike around Tampa is a constant struggle. As a commuter I am constantly battling with huge stinky cars. My commute often takes me through questionable neighborhoods where the sidewalks come to abrupt ends, but being a cyclist is overwhelmingly enjoyable. I love my bike! I love feeling the crisp November air rushing past my face. I wouldn't change it for the world. Although I still rely on my car for most of my commutes, I look forward to those genuine moments when it's just me and Sanford.

a cleansing of my-cyber-self

I've deleted my "social networking sites" (ie myspace and facebook). I'm hoping this increases my productivity in life. I would get trapped on those things, searching inane profiles and updating mine. It isn't real. It's an attempt to create a mask, an identity that I want the "world" to see. So silly. I can't keep up with that anymore. I've decided to put that energy into my art. I've been documenting my work from this semester, and I hope to have images up on the web a.s.a.p. I'm also building a website, little by little. I hope to have images of my art on the website, as well as opportunities to buy my work. 

Another short term goal is to begin vending. I want this to be a collaborative effort.

busy, busy, busy.

I'm trying to find the good in Florida, it looks like I will be here until Spring 2010... I cringe.
