I guess I'm on a writing spree now - probably running off recent emotions... soo here I am again, writing for the third time today. At least this gives me something to do.
I'm going to begin now by doing space-filler things, this post is definitely just for me to have something to do, but hopefully it's interesting to look back upon. So, last summer in photography class we had to fill out a questionaire for the final. It's an artist's philosophy piece .... okay sorry watching Shark Week in the background and they just said the shark attacks at 25mph... not fun... especially since I found out Jaws was filmed off Martha's Vineyard, sooo much for loving that place...
Okay, so anyway, back to the artist's piece - it's a series of questions that basically whittle you down to the core and ta-dah! it's your philosophy... basically, well it's good enough for me because I really don't care for the whole trivial 'political philosophy'... barf, I'll look at that when I'm seventy and need money from the government.

- about what are you passionate?
travel, reading, coffee, horses, drawing, writing, philosophy, old architecture
- what frightens you?
my dreams, the woods, being home alone, the dark, scary movies, not knowing what to do after college
- what confuses you?
architecture professors, how to get through school happy, being proud of myself
- about what are you an expert?
horses, sleeping, hand drawing wall sections (?), reading, daydreaming, getting my hopes up, being forgetful

my dreams, architecture/architects, some people, alot of things
- about what are you curious?
travel, Italy, acoustics, neurology, Peter Zumthor, fashion design, writing industry, England
- what do you know?
I miss having a good job, I don't need to be #1 or try for the 'a' focus on being happy, I want to work with a good group of people not uber competitive people, I don't want to be 'the boss' I work much better as the worker bee, I am less stressed and most fulfilled when I can help other people as a mentor
- what do you think?
alot of things, especially that I think and word things different from many people, I think there cannot be a 'balance' and that everything exists in contrast to something else (though, not like a doppleganer existence more of an flow of energy contrast), also I'm restless and I can't stay in one place for an entire day, I always wander
- what brings you joy?
reading, going to Barnes & Noble or Common Grounds, the arch library, someone being proud of me or asking me for help/ guidance, being of use, conversation, being tired at the end of the day
- what stirs you to rage?
politics/ political jabber, LEED, the "green" movement (it's a bought-into status fad), condescending/ judgemental people, stiff and unfriendly intellectuals, not having anything to do, staying in one place for too long, tv
- what story do you want to tell?
I want to share stories with people everyday. I want to have a job where someone relies on me and is thankful to have me, I want to build with my hands and not be in an office all of the time. (take this as you will, life's a story.... )
- will you create it from scratch or does it exist in the world - waiting to be captured?
still waiting to figure that out...

" And then one of the younger members of the group, a talented and usually rationally minded architect, said "It is an interesting building for all sorts of theoretical and practical reasons. The trouble is, it has no soul"'. - P. Zumthor
