Guns and Cigarettes

Are what I'm cooler than.
It's been awhile, hasnt it? I doubt that anyone checks this dry shell of a blog, but oh well, blogging is nothing but masturbatory anyway right?

Let's get some updates going on hurr. The last blog as about...well, i think it was about being back from China was it not? I don't believe it was overly informative. I think i promised you stories that I'm not at this time prepared to deliver. Let's sidestep from those musings on the past and make this blog about what is really going down now that it so happens i'm back from China.

The first thing i'm doing is getting involved with things that i can be proud of, and living my life according to all of those beliefs that i have. What that means is, I work for Greenpeace and for a friend's landscaping company. You know, saving the world and preparing for the revolution. Don't tell the government i just said that (but the boats will stop coming someday...and at that point, well, i'd like to have a breadfruit tree or two). I'm outisde all day long no matter which job i'm at, working with either people or plants. Between me and you, I prefer the plants, but i guess that wasn't such a big secret anyway. Life is good on the island, and yet i still contemplate returning to china. Why? Persuing a personal journey, I suppose. I can either stay here and get over my inability to stay in one place for longer than 6 month at any given time (I haven't done that since i graduated high school) and continue to delve further and further into a sustainable and outdoorsy kind of life, or I can go back to China, make loads of money teaching while (and learning to become one with myself), and then travel down through Southeast Asia interacting with curiously foreign and intoxicating energies. It is a dilemma, if you will, of the physical over the spiritual.

Oh, conundrums. How skilled you are at pushing the dueling energies within me to points of unrest.

On the other hand, I'm taking up my art in ways i havent in quite a while. Writing, creating, growing and starting to silkscreen. Which is sexy. Yay for that. Yay for the place that i'm at for the time that i'm at it.
I love you guys, I'm going to go pee. Then get my things together and walk over to the intersection that I get to canvas today. Yay for accosting people about enviornmental issues (that 'yay' drips half-feigned half-real enthusiasm tinged with sarcasm, if you couldn't hear it through your computer screen).

Love&luz
