"Falling in love...eating...and going to the toilet..."

...Hold on. Before you close the window. Please. (YouTube is loading anyway...)
...Something to think about on your next long walk to work/home/park/train station/bus stop/corner shop/cafe/

In Richard Goodwin's word... this is what urban condition is about. Couldn't put it better myself.
Maybe not in a idealised manner but the urban condition is driven by connection to facilitate congestion: collision of time and events; points and lines meet; intersect; interrupt; break; merge; rupture then subside.
Virtually endless possibilities of 'becoming' for every corner and every intersection in a neon-lit hyper landscape. Stories of city love and urban heartbreaks echos the murmurs on every turn.

...next time on your way to work or walking home...just think about it.
...you may go back to whatever you were watching on YouTube.

Self-indulgence

There are lots of reasons not to like Monday...they even wrote a song about it.
I ,on the other hand, had a fantastic day. This particular Monday anyway... uni... life drawing... pepper lunch... then rum and raisin. Whats not to love? (so bite me haters!)
But this trend will not stick around for long though... hah.

Bought 2 new pencils couple of weeks ago (warm grey & sepia) for life drawing. Just thought I'd try something different. They take so time to get used to... maybe abit too hard for my liking. Also switched from A2 to my A5 sketch book ... so that took some adjustment too. Check it...

pics below...big ups to Julia for the little man from jp! it made itself at home hanging with my favorite usb stick... I finally got to use my JB giftcard (thanks Nat B) for some funky soulful tunes... Nina Simone... Marvin Gaye... and Charles Mingus!!!
