what goes around...


i passed a man outside the foodstore, who appeared at first glance to be loitering. while looking thru him, i brushed right by...as so many people commonly do in this situation. i NEVER give money to people who ask. but i also NEVER deny someone food. and as i was just passing earshot, i processed what he had said.
'im hungry...any food you can spare would be appreciated. god bless you.'
i thought, DAM'IT...im sucha jerk. i immediately scooped up food, paid for it and went back outside. but he wasnt there. i was kicking myself. i went back to shopping and fortunately ran into him. i got to give him the food and we exchanged smiles and well wishes. i thought that was the end of it. but as i finished shopping and exited the store...he was waiting for me. he insisted on bartering for the food. he sketched this wonderful portrait of me. as i peered into his eyes to model for my drawing...he paid me a thousand compliments. i CLEARLY got more out of this trade.

huff and puff...





at first glance, this seems like a ridiculous exercise...
construct a living space totally out of paper.
obviously, this structure can not sustain an occupant but i still think it has an important purpose. its conceptional projects like this one that can make the most impact. progress and innovation often require turning your back to rules and boundaries. if you are only working within the confines of what has already been done...where is opportunity for discovery?

YO, SON...


my childhood has fond memories of a brand new kind of television. a station dedicated to music. YO MTV Raps allowed up and coming MC's and DJ's to hang out and perform. It was a historic time for hiphop. I recently went to see ma man Ed Lover spin. AMAZING! not to mention i won this tee...
