Balance. Backwards?

Life is about balance. I'm finding it hard to balance work/money, school and any sort of fun. But school would not muscle without each of the others really? School without money or fun? It just wouldn't pan. I get too excited sometimes. Tunnel vision takes over. I had a fun day (to balance some fun) with my favorite ladies, and when we were about to jump into the ocean to (try) and catch some waves, I realize my wet suit is on backwards? I get the same way with sewing. Stoked, head down, sew sew sew, then shit. Its backwards.

Over my next jottings I will post
pictures of some of my handiwork. Some possibly more impressive than others. thank you.

I will be. I may be?

What do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you see yourself living? Where do you see this taking you? Why dont you like shrimp rings?

Number ONE.
A lot of things. Friend. Lover. Creator. Dangercat.

Number TWO.
My feet are to itchy to decide. Mountains? Ocean? City? Small town? To shred the great outdoors or shred the city? Cities scare me.

Number THREE.
... This factors from number one and number two. Design Costumes for the movies? A small line from my home? Lingerie? A fashion empire?

Number FOUR.
Those things creep me out.


My brain is cluttered with constant chaos. I came to school to learn the skill called focus. Focus and to get gnarly with the sewing machine. Indecisive by nature, my ideas and plans of where 'fashion' school is going to take me is ever changing. Lucky for me I have 4 more semesters to figure this out.
