confidence levels up, faith in check, all systems go. let's do this designguy! (dork)

The BkC

Rant for the day...

BKC... store is nice, their knits are nice. but really, i was expecting more in terms of merchandise. I understand the economy is bearing down on smaller companies right now so i hope there's more to see from them in the near future in regards to more knits n wovens.
if your brand is all about that street bespoke look, then you should have the merch to back it.

sidenote: the lady at the store is gorgeous. plus you talk sweetly. hi, my name is mark.

Nixon makes alarm clocks?

DP2... done. and dri.

hey stranger

laaaaaakers. taming the bulls right now.

so yes, i'm alive. why have i been away from this for so long?

the city.

Insomnia -Jill Scott

FINALLY, got to go into the Stephens'/AAU car museum in my school building. Actually, got to go twice in one week. These pics don't justify the grandiosity.
Went to MOMA for the millionth time in two years. Can't complain. Esp with good company. Museum #1, done. __ more to go.
hm, i think i will paint something by the end of this year.
This week's been good. Finishing my homework with mindfulness and maintaining a happy life balance.

seeing/hearing/doing/touching/... nice things. stay focused and balanced.

in the meanwhile, dolphins 0-3. blame it on...
no WR's (i like Bess and Hartline though), QB who can throw deep accurately (i miss you dan), and our secondary... second rate.

also...

GOD BLESS the victims of the latest typhoon in the Philippines. My heart and prayers to you. It's deeply saddening.
