gypsy

I've decided that when I get back to Winni, I'm going to go out and find all of the houses I've lived in (eleven, in total) and take pictures of them (like a creep.)

Creativity makes me do silly things. It's going to be good.

beep boop

Nothing to report. Just saying hey.

sun soup

Humor in a sunset.. I decided to soup it up.

I watch the sunset, sometimes

UPPERCASE magazine always knows how to make me feel great.

vectrekin'

I found my grandpa's old Vectrex in the closet.

It still works. We tried it out.

Nostalgia wins.

drawrings

While sorting -before packing- I found some drawings that I did in 2002. It surprises me when I find things like this because I am horrible at throwing things away.

The 1980s had its influences, and so did my friends. From what I found, we watched a lot of Star Wars, He-Man, Thundercats, Bruce Lee, Gremlins, and Goonies.

These things are so dorky to me.

pieces

Found some paintings in the closet. This is a lovely reminder of what I need to do, right now. Creativity is a good friend.

spinning

I can't really describe my universe, at the moment. It's disorienting, and there are so many funny -often unexpected- emotions involved. While I'm trying not to think of goodbyes and the tough stuff that comes with moving forward; I'm focusing on what is now and taking each day as they come. I'm taking notes, I'm scribbling, I'm drifting and staring at the ceiling for hours. Self discovery makes for some good stories.

blind melon, change

Lately, it has been the song of the day. So much to come.

last play

A single photo - no words - capturing a moment. A simple, heart warming moment. A moment I want to pause, savour and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

His last play in our backyard. Loads of memories we're both going to miss.

these days

It's been hard for me to think of a way to put this into words. Life is taking an interesting turn. Change is never a bad thing, though it can be a bit discouraging; maybe even a little intimidating. In the end, it never hurt anybody.

We decided that we simply grew apart; became great friends along the way. We lost sight of the sparkly things, lost touch with ourselves. It was easy to agree that we needed to build ourselves back up again; the upsetting part was realizing that we needed to do it, alone.

The first step will be me, moving back to my home town, with Breakfast in tow. I figure this is a good place for us to go, to regroup, explore, and pick up the pieces. There is so much to come, in the days ahead. For the moment, let's enjoy the last few days of what we know while they last. It's both heartwarming and a little bit sad.

I'll miss these days, I know. In some ways, I already do.

I know it's sunday..

morning walk

Took the scenic -and textured- route to work, today.

road trip

Though San Francisco is always on my mind, I think I'll be hitting up Winnipeg, instead. Often when I'm lost, I find that even just a short visit, such as this one, will help remind me of the things I need in order to stay grounded.



I look forward to getting away to reflect, to unwind, find some inspiration, maybe throw some fountain pennies and make a selfish wish or two. It should be a good time. I have so many favorite faces to see, too. I can't wait to remember who I am, again. July 15th, I'm off!


Next time, San Fran.. next time.
