Teacher Interrupted

"One can always tell it's summer when one sees school teachers hanging about the streets idly, looking like cannibals during a shortage of missionaries." Robertson Davies, Canadian author

Blurry Stories

It just occured to me that a lot of the photos that I take are blurry.

For some reason it doesn't bother me very much. As a matter of fact, I actually really like blurry photos for some reason. I feel like the motion of the photos tells a more interesting story. I enjoy finding spaces that are blurry and finding out the stories that exist in the borderlands between 'there' and 'not quite there'. The electricity that is captured during uncommunicatable moments of motion forms the skeleton of untold stories of people and places in my mind. I am so unsettled for periods in my life, and I often feel unable to locate the source of these feelings of needing a change of environment for my headspace. I would like to live my life in such way that I can put words together to create an 'authentic relica' of my experiences of blurriness.

Dialectics of A New World Order: Bjork




















In an improbable vocal combination of power and swagger, fresh Canadian air exhales through her Aeolian pipes. Raw notes extend and crash with the practiced perfection of being an Icelandic feather. Swirling black lilies, indeed. Bjork knows the boundaries of weird and treads along
the warm, muddy path of revolution.

VITALITY



Well, it's been about 3 weeks since I bought my Jack Lalanne Power Juicer (as seen on TV...you know you've watched the infomercials!) Well, as hokey as a 90 year old man in a red jumpsuit doing one armed push ups may seem, the power juicer turns out to be a pretty great investment. It juices pretty much anything, and surprisingly, the weirdest veggie combinations that I have tried are actually pretty good.

The only thing that I failed to consider was this:

If you only consume liquids, you will only eliminate....liquids. This is a rookie juicer mistake! After a rather traumatizing event involving none other than BEET JUICE (Dwight Schrute's breakfast of champions), I have realized THERE IS A REASON WE NEED TO EAT SOLID FOOD!!!!

I wish Jack Lalanne would have mentioned that in his infomercial!!! That, and "Don't worry, you're not hemorrhaging rectally, it's probably just the BEET JUICE"

In other news, as per Jack Lalanne's promise, I finally have the vitality of a 25 year old!!!

Wait a sec, I'm only 23! Jaaaaackkkkk!!!!

And by the way, Jack's doing push ups on what looks like carpet...so is it really that impressive? I'm just saying...
