Let's Make Something to Do and Remember

I’ve been trying to think of any possible excuse/justification I could come up with to take off work tomorrow. Why, you might ask? Because I feel like it.

I have an idea for tonight. I want to go somewhere, take pictures. Maybe Wallace Lake (as in the actual swamp) or the dam. At night time. In garb. Bare feet. What have you. Suffer a little for the sake of art and creating it. What a martyr. (No, but it really will be cold). Or I want to start a fire on the riverfront and paint myself like an Indian, play with fire.

I want to explore.

I want to play Twister with real paint on the board. I want to ruin my clothes. I want paint in between my toes.

I want to stay up until the sunrise.

And then I want to sleep in an old, forgotten field. I know just the one.

I promise I’ll apply for jobs tomorrow if I can just be off so that I can live a little tonight.

I feel creative juices flowing.

And unfortunately, I feel trapped in a place where I can only write about them.

Here's to trying.

And here's to an $1100 outfit. Why, oh why? I know not.

Bonnaroo Reminiscings

Welp. Unfortunately, my $150 external harddrive with all of my pictures and music on it will not work anymore... I will be much more upset about this once it sets in.


Today, I've been reminiscing about Bonnaroo--looking up pictures (trying at least) and videos.


^^^Arcade Fire^^^ (Such an obnoxiously heartfelt show and so fun to watch)

Lil Wayne. I mean, come on!

The Strokes, of course. I just looked at the reflection of those glasses and imagined playing for that crowd. Gah. It would be amazing.

I mean, look at these! I literally can't describe how amazing that trip was. It wasn't just some shows. It was an adventure, an experience, the closest I've ever felt to dying of heatstroke, the most excited and most tired I've ever been in my life, a priceless bonding experience with a friend. I mean, really, it was the dream. I want to go back. I do. I found out that they do a live Bonnaroo stream of the shows. If I don't go back next year, I will probably take off work so that I can sit and watch it, at least, to feel a part.

Oh, and new blog idea--outfit for the day. Too bad this is like $2,500 worth of clothes. :(
