"Stop saving the world, unless you actually are"
Right now, I’m not. I’m not trying to. I’m conscious of my decisions and aware of my impact but I am also a recent graduate trying to find a place in this world.
So many things on the mind..
I’ve realized….
…that I can influence others and broaden their horizons. The reverse is also true.
…I valued very different things before and after SCAD.

continuing education?
taking a dreamweaver class tomorrow. gonna learn me how to build some internets. woot.
this should be interesting.
lower your eyes to die with the sun
I can’t sleep. Tonight I found out that a fellow ID’ed and SCAD 09 grad passed away this morning. I did not know him well, but I had classes with him. In winter of 08, we took contextual research. He was absent for the first week of classes. When he returned there were whispers that he had a tumor removed. I never had any idea, until tonight, how serious his condition really...

Most Beautiful Plague
I dont get it. maybe i was born without the marriage gene or something..
more and more of my friends are getting married, knocked up, ect. I’ve never felt or understood the rush to do this. in fact ive never felt the urge to do this at all. pregnancy and pregnant woman gross me out. I don’t ever see my self planning a wedding or having kids. sure i may get married, but if that...

and waiting.
Youre not quite Jim Jones yet..
I went to sleep tonight at about 8:30, exhausted. I’m fully awake now and still reeling from the shit show that was today…
On Tuesday, I went to a job interview for a receptionist position or an art sales/management position.. both were open and they wanted to talk to me about both… all fine and good.
Interview seems to go well. They invite me to come back the next morning...
a movie script ending
funny how things happen… or don’t. days upon end i feel as if i know nothing. which way is up? and which way is out?
all i am sure of is that time is marching on. and that i love my dog.

Staying at the Hilton Desoto downtown tonight. I can’t really get my head around it. I’ve got one of the most amazing views in Savannah right now of the bridge and some of the historic bldgs downtown. This may well be my last visit to Savannah for awhile.
Well Savannah, youve done it to me once again. I worked really hard to make my senior show exhibit really stnad out. But...

Oh yes… it’s definitely okay for you to play The Fray full blast from the computer all morning.
And I’m so happy that when you tell your friends ‘lol’, you are literally laughing out loud… but shut the fuck up.
Thanks finals.
oh things that i dont miss about gulf. seriously, tell them to shut the fuck up and put on headphones.
things that are good
vitamin string quartet.
time to rethink.
the idea of being trapped in a life of designing mindless consumer objects depresses me beyond belief. I’m taking action to get to where I want to be career wise. But I know this is going to take me far away from everything I currently have.
I can’t quite say I’m giving my pursuit 100% though. There are things that I am just not willing to give up yet. Beyond the obvious...
i love faster faster.
such a fun band to listen to.

plus/minus
things that are good: oranges, hoegaarden, copeland, belgian beers in general, wall boxes, bryan(obv), french rap
things that drive me crazy: people who call it “the A,” people who do the peace up a town down sign, people who watch shows like american idol and lost and freak out about whatever is going on
so i’m starting a new freelance job. designing motorcycle parts for...
Does anyone know any LEED AP engineers or contractors that would be willing to help out with my team on a USGBC design competition?

chill out in paris.
1) I want to live in a house full of candles and listen to cafe del mar. maybe a villa in spain.
2) i really need to do my senior poster. wayyyy past the due date.
3 i kind of miss school. and savannah, and studio. and gulf. and senior.
4) I’m not saving the world. what of it?
um what?
Pretty much every taste I’ve had of corporate life so far has been pretty janky. I was so looking forward to all of this but so far I feel like I’m fumbling about in a dark world I seem to know nothing about. Yes, school taught me new ways to think about design.. but they left out the fact that businesses don’t seem to communicate. More than ever I want to be part of a design...
random ponderings.
things i wouldn’t mind designing
-atvs
-furniture
-personal watercraft
-extreme sports gear
-wine lables

so i am looking down at the plug for the external both you and I each own.. and it is epic design fail. the wavy lines on that bitch are repeated nowhere else on the product and they make the plug look like one of those plug in air fresheners. this has pissed me off beyond belief.
the fear.
i care. and yet i don’t care? quite the conundrum.
so willing to give it all away yet afraid to lose it all.
applying to wakeboard and boat companies. main problem… none are even remotely close to here.
and i’m sitting in a coffee shop on the internet.. i feel like i’m betraying my own ideals. gross.
love always remains?
ok so im prob being a traitor to the cause, but.. i love ikea they do it all. and they do it all well. if you think about it, its just another target or walmart but the difference is the experience. i geeked out in ikea for more than two hours today. got some awesome house stuff, got some ideas, and got some food that was cheaper than mcdonalds yet tastier and healthier.
so high five ikea....
dear pirate shibby,
Can we please set up a laser cutter date soon? That would be fab. Also you need to come hang in Decatur, where its greater, of course.

Can a group of industrial designers change the world in 24 hours OR at least create ripple in the local design community? Yes, how far will this ripple go….who know’s. I will try and give some fupdates as we progress through IDSA Atlanta’s ”Charrette de 24 Heures” and spearheaded by Collin Farril of Design House,...
love save the empty
It’s quite strange how one event can completely change your life. In the last months of ‘08 a chance encounter led me exactly to where I am now.
We were at the same school. Same major. Same building. But we never knew each other until a year and a half after you graduated.
Now we have a house. And a dog. And I got my job because of your connections. And I’m wondering...

My grandmother is dying of cancer and well.. my relationship seems to be eroding away faster and faster.
I can’t bring myself to say the words I should say. I really just want to run away.
I’m blaming no one but myself. I put myself in this situation. I could have found a job...

life in atlanta > life in savannah
but alas, not everything gold can stay. C’est la vie. i present to you, dear reader, a random list…
-there are some people i miss in savannah. and then there are some people that i am really glad to be away from. there are a lot of false people at SCAD.
