1925 - 2008

"Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand."

-Paul Newman, Cool Hand Luke, 1967

One of the all time greats has sailed off into the setting sun. Here's to him.

In other news:
I'm at school. I'm rendering a 3D Rhino model in Maxwell. I'm preparing a laser cut template. I'm about to pin these up for the class. It's raining outside. I'm wearing one of my favorite shirts. And I am going to squeeze in a beer before the crit. Good times.

I don't sleep.
I don't play.
I don't laugh.
I don't exist.

Thoughts

Last night I awoke to somewhere between eight and ten gun shots, followed by a helicopter for about an hour. While it sounds cheesy, it's normal to wonder where God is in all of this, right? Or to wonder where I am in all of this? Why am I in all of this? That last question is growing increasingly more difficult to explain. We have great friends. That remains constant. I'm in a great program. That becomes more apparent daily. But when my schooling is finished I am going to take my little wife by the hand, and we are going to run from this place with our hair on fire.

To keep from going insane I will take advantage of, and utilize the following:
School, ball games, shows, parks, trains (which will be safer now than ever), museums, buildings, case studies, restaurants, and so on.

I will look forward to:
Children in a hand built home on a large tract of land covered with dogs and trees and vegetables and guns (that are not owned by gang members) and sunrises, and one pretty little wife.

Poolitics

Politics

"...but you know you can, you can put, uh, lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig."

- Barrack Obama

It seems that politicians and presidential/v.p. hopefuls will ignore the opposition when they don't deem them a threat. Seem the case here? Thoughts?

Food

I usually eat everything on that list like ten times daily. Breakfast, lunch, and supper dog. Ain't no thang.
