sunday morning

Just a gorgeous morning, don't you think? (wherever you may be.)

Findings

...9:30 AM
...on a train heading into Central.
Observed.
No seats available so I stood, as did 4 other people that got on the train at the next stop.
With my ear buds blocking out the rest of the world I felt like I was looking in from the outside... while being inside.... (Anyway)
This dude stood near the door, very restless. He was chewing gum but the rate he chewed looked like he was trying to tear through a leg ham of a tyrannosaurus. Very anxious. The suit looked brand new probably worn for the first time as was the tie, shirt and shoes (there was no crease at the toe box). It wasn't tailored ... or might just be the cutting I guess... but the sleeves were an inches and a half too short. He fiddled with the blazer sleeve and shoulders constantly. Looked very uncomfortable in his own skin plus the slightly too small blazer made his already abnormally big head even bigger like a hot air balloon. He looked too pimped up for nine thirty. Gucci (or Pucci) sunglasses with diamantes on a white under-wrap-around frame, red on black pin-stripes suit and a Nixon-like wrist watch... N70 in a leather case (who uses the complementary leather cases anyway?)
My conclusion: Going for an interview or first day on a new job, perhaps. Explains the anxiety; self-consciousness on appearance and the tricked-out accessories. Also he wasn't carrying a bag or a suitcase either...
...9:32 AM.

After a quick observation I became very aware of how blur the notion of public and private we experience today.
I had my iPod on with my ear buds, which disengaged the self from everything else on a sensory level yet I cannot be more open and exposed in the public realm. Distance (physical and experiential) shortened. Constantly connected to other parts of the world by wireless technology where it be my phone or laptop. Travel at high speed in still. Even this entry itself... the world suddenly becomes smaller yet self-realm fluctuates between extremities.

Moving right along...
Looks like the tomatoes escaped from the cruelty of hell's kitchen and found themselves a nice happy place to rest their tired Lycopersicon esculentus legs. What adventures awaits them? We'll find out soon.

New pen

I lost (yet another) 0.2 Artline pen, bought a new one. Probably should get different line weights too.

"Pick up a pen and just draw" I thought.

So I did.

Walking on air

Lately I've been having some trouble.
I can't seem to focus... more than usual.

Restless;
Unsettle;
Deliriously awake;
Stuck;
Surreal;

... but on a different note, I bought a new loofah and a new pair of basketball shoes. A pair of Air Jordans XX (thats AJ twenty... They are up to AJ 21 now. Has it been that long ???) I'm quite impressed with it. Looking forward to play in them.( I know! I'm actually going to play in them. Can hardly believe thats what they are made for!)
See for yourself. What do you think?

&&& (part 2.)

One of many experimental model with contemporary origami folding. A rigid order applied on one plane of surface; a progressive movement mapped across the 2nd plane. The incised subtraction/ extraction generated a simple volume that expand and contract in relation to the mapped nodes applied externally. Future models should focus on continuity of material and unbroken surfaces and perhaps how this can be integrated with modular assemblage...The parameters of folding will probably need to be isolated to see its effect and impact on the truncated surfaces.

Scale and proportion seems to be ok at this stage...

I need some sleep for now...

&&& (part 1.)

I had a salad today and there was no tomato...

First Autumn leaf fell.
Day by day I gaze upon her window. Frozen.
Day by day her bliss whispers in my dreams.
First of Autumn. Fell.
