uphill...

it seems that this life is all uphill at present...

work...is just hard...so many projects and tasks...each one no matter the size has its own set of difficulties...we have a new employee starting on the ninth of June and damn! that can't here soon enough!!!

play...is a bit difficult at the moment...friends are intertwined with work and everyone is feeling the strain...after Friday night I avoided the slide into drinking too much...that's where "honesty", as some put it, comes out and God only knows I don't need that right now!...so my Saturday night was spent at the house tidying up a bit and surfing the net, Sunday saw a good hard bike ride in the wind and a two-omelet brunch at Nova (no mimosas...), my "Mega-Mosa Sunday with friends at the Paseo Festival" turned into 2 and 1 (mega-mosa/beer ratio) followed by dinner and drinks at DF which consisted of the pork chop and four glasses of water...Monday was spent looking at a potential office space, working and trying to catch up a bit on the aforementioned projects and tasks...oh, and a new washer...last night was an up-all-night-watching-the-weather and worrying about a project site...

so, it's back to work...I'm tired from last night but have a mountain to climb this week in front of me...

...but actually I feel pretty damn good!

go figure.

within...

within this we live.

as a creeping vine.

with strength revealed.

where needs want.

yet walls remain.

you.

within you.

as I stand beside you.

with a sunset's hope.

holding a promise of truth.

always.

it lies in your hands.

as you see me.

after flight comes a touch.

and soaring lingers.

as you stand.

in a window.

viewed through the tears.

in the eyes of god.

love, art and the pursuit of a good night sleep...

love...
escapes me...not that I'm not willing mind you...but finding a partner is tough, period. in the crazy busy world I've wrapped around myself, it's proving to be damn near impossible...one of those "life balance" issues I guess...oh well...I've heard that good things come to those who wait...

art...
dogs me...constantly...a relentless desire to make stuff...express myself...dancing around the "rules" of concepts and processes...sticking a finger up in the air and saying "who the hell are you to tell me this isn't art"...of course that's bullshit...I am blessed when it comes to what I'm doing creatively...I enjoy mild successes, a constant drive to do it and warm receptions when it's done...what could be better??? oh yeah, having a show in NYC would probably do it...

news flash:
first announcement..."heavy metal" will debut at 31 Deuce Studio on August 2nd...starts at noon...all artists will be working with metal...should be a blast...more info to follow...

a good night sleep...
evades me...i work, design, draw, build...during the "work day"...i work, design, draw, build...the rest of the evening and night...i can't really remember the last time i laid my head down at a decent hour and didn't have to jump up at the crack of frickin' dawn to do it all over again...i'm tired...a kind of in-your bones tired that's hard to shake...being as busy in the office and studio as we are sometimes makes me miss the good old days of cubicle architecture...then i slap myself and put the welding helmet back on...damn.
