beyond traveling and setting up pipes and making connections and compiling a collective portrait and exchanging ideas / music / images with all of our new friend and learning a little bit of arabic, or swiss or japanese i have established some goals - mostly - for myself… and once you write something down, it feels much more permanent… so here goes…
- while still protecting my skin, to become a nice golden tan color
- continue to eat healthy - be it out of a cooler or at a restaurant
- create a sizable amount of projects on my own, separate from the installations - starting with my quilt
- finishing all worthy projects i begin - starting with my quilt, except for those to be coated in porcelain…that part i will wait on.
- draw more in a sketchbook - i will buy a new one, clean fresh start
- stay up later, get up earlier
- read at least 6 books - of various kinds (not just murder mysteries. as wonderful as they are) and more adult (no more harry potters. as wonderful as they are)
- enjoy what time i have - where i am and with who is around me, despite all the mosquitoes.
ok… i guess i’ll go get started.
