I'm in the ATL. it's damn hot. Sorry ATL for presuming lack of hip, diversified culture before arriving. They got their version of Melrose, Haight,... they got their version of Huf, In4mation,...they got clean mass transit... they got their version of Roscoe's... but it ain't Roscoe's! See you at the penthouse pool. oh, and watch where you walk. highly possible you'll fall in a hole rimmed with metal on the sidewalk. yeah. i have a souvenir, and it's red and purple. Was hit on by a big black gay dude at the MARTA station, and then possibly by a straight Marine at the bar. I don't know which one is more awkward. Met John Force! Such a class act.
a super organic object in alias. tough. why i've been stuck on this stage for the past 3 weeks.
i know why... thought i could kill two birds with one stone--shoe related product for portfolio + demonstrate alias proficiency. well, i have a month left. stay tuned.
first i meet brice and mike through fixins. then edge and family. then i end up moving into my current house with the address of 686... then im a finalist (didnt win in the end, but it's all good) for the design it competition! whaat. there's some kind of bond i feel. hmm...
i finally got my Canon G11. yay! geeking out on it. good bc that shit cost me a pretty penny and im in school dammit.
just came back from OC/LA this past week... sat in john's class finally. what a smart guy. don's birthday on thurs. (it's pretty cool how close we've gotten since we found out we're cousins (by marriage)) my best wishes go out to him , handling his career moves and of course his latest downturn (for now) with MC. i know God has the best, whatevr it may be, coming. saw some old faces at the CAS party and at don's bday shabang. met some new faces. delightful. dave heat-seeking a model in nordstrom. what a sight for inspiration.
confidence levels up, faith in check, all systems go. let's do this designguy! (dork)
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.
so yes, i'm alive. why have i been away from this for so long? School! Finals in progress. Alias can be a pain, but i'm getting it. alright, we'll catch up later. but some highlights that i can recall at the moment from the past month:
IDSA meeting at IDEO Jump Associates VB school school school. peeweeherman MRI on wrist 500 days of summer 3x and more to come darryll and don's triathalons catalina tom takes us to the dumpling shop in millbrae manny pacquiao IS the BEST. 686 x NB boots!!
Caddy, what else? This just might be the epitome of America– big and audacious.
forgot, but this grill looks pretty shnazzy.
aston martin DB 5 '65. the grill. still.
pres' ol car. the only? car with a concave style roof.
i LOVE this.
from one museum to the next....
i don't know how to really explain this... but i take it simply as "be observant."
the city.

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.
F-n dodgers. win a game already so we can end this.
