I was riding my bike through campus today and I saw something which, for a second seemed particularly nice/beautiful and I guess now, worth my time to write about it. Some guy put his bookbag down next to a tree and began to pray to Mecca.

I was riding my bike so it only caught my attention for less than 5 seconds, but I actually felt relieved to know that there are still plenty of people who hang on to their traditions and those of their parents. Although I myself am not a religious person, its things like this, or my grandmother's rosary praying, that make me happy to be human.

To the Minotaur that lives above me:

Dear Minotaur, please take it easy on the floor. I hear your hooves clip-clopping on the floor every morning I wake up and especially at night while I try to go to sleep. The ceiling fan sways as you jump out of bed and gallop towards the bathroom. I know this because I can hear and count every step you make with your mighty hooves.

Thanks,
James

Just when I thought my bike couldn't get sexier- he done do it again.

The more i think about it, the more I am considering making the switch to digital cameras. well, its not much of a switch since I already use them pretty often, but I mean for more personal things. I really only use film when I want to photograph something really special or things I really care about, like my friends or my parents. Unfortunately, analog processes are disappearing and I no longer have an access to a photo lab now that I am at UF, so it might be for the best.

I wonder what Peggy Nolan would think.

I had to shoot a little kid's magic show other day. This cuban magician pulled an animal out of EVERYTHING. He turned three pigeons into a poodle. I still can't figure out where the pigeons went.

I've been looking at fecalface a lot lately, and checking out everyone's different websites and I've started looking back onmy life. Although I dont regret my major and my other choices in life up until now, I sort of wish I would have gotten a bit more involved in the art world/scene. I got my minor in art, but my friend's who stuck to it are always at gallery openings and art related events in Miami/elsewhere.

It just seems like it would have been a fun alternative to this thing I'm doing in gainesville.

someone out there is looking for me. it's a little weird.

i'm always sort of shocked when i see people's computers and they havent changed the default wallpaper. either that, or they have another one of the standard backgrounds set up. don't people get inspired by things on the internet enough to change their green-rolling-hills background?


so i really do learn something new everyday. today, i learned that cubans will turn a guayabera into anything. i saw a couple of different shades of guayaberas today as well as a few guayabera dresses. i felt so out of place because my shirt only had 1 pocket and not 4.
