No pre. No post. No anti.

Tearing things down, rejecting the past or trying to crawl back into it outright are no way to build anything new. What has happened has happened, you can't change it and you can't ignore it. You can't take something away without offering something better. These just aren't ways to capture people's imaginations en masse, not in any meaningful way. The only way to build something new and better is to found it solidly in what is past, then hide that foundation in brilliant new construction. It doesn't matter about the rest of the crap off to the sides. If the new thing is better the old things will die all on their own. Anything that is set up as a rejection or antithesis of something else is inherently dependent on what it is trying to tear down.

More indecision

I still can't decide if life sucks or if I am enjoying myself Yesterday as I was walking home I ran into nice Nicole again, as well as Lori and Graeme. Work today alternated between biting ass and being interesting. Ivana's dropped off the face of the earth, not a word from her for over a week - so I'm giving up on her. Having money in my pocket feels great - I went and bought $200 Fleuvogs (pointy ones at that, I've been saying for a year they were coming back and they have - ha!) because my shoes had finally worn out to the point of being uncomfortable. I went to the store where Epine works and chatted with her for a while and then (after failing to hail a cab) did my usual ferry and market thing. I've had these ideas churning around in my head about doing something really, really interesting and they are starting to make sense. I started a new painting yesterday and worked on it today. I've upgraded my web server software. Damn it. I just don't know. I feel like a train on the verge of becoming a runaway. This could be very good or very bad.

So tempted

...to resize Trish's pictures so I can read my friends page without having to scroll sideways.

Yay! Money!

Yay! New Shoes! Yay! Pointy 'Vogs!
