The Architect's Hopes & Fears

Cari Lekebusch.
My music fiend/friend Stuart sent this artist's link [Flash; 20mb] to me yesterday, Cari Lekebusch's Shaded... Nice camera work, worth catching a glimpse... Gorgeous artwork, yummy! Thanks Stuart. I'll send out your Wagon Christ CD tomorrow!


Keane.
Also heard this great tune, Everything's Changing by Keane, off my fellow blogger friend Tar's radioblog. A dreamy pop tune! Am lovin' it! Read that Keane is going to be on Conan O'Brien tonight, might have to check it out... Thanks Tar!

From time to time, let the music be your guide.

YES

YES
This shirt design is from Yoko Ono's 2001 YES exhibition up in San Francisco that year. I drove up with some friends one weekend just to see the exhibit. I'm very glad that I did. She's one amazing woman.


I haven't worn the shirt for a long while. The other night I wore it and I felt good. It put a smile on my face. *happysad*

Resumé / Everyman / Everywoman

Everybody pukes!
While taking my shower this morning, I was thinking [among other things] about my resumé! This little boy used to be on the very top of the page... actually, he still is... and this use to be my cover letter! Yeah, the last time I had to send out resumés was in the summer of 2000, to a good bunch of design firm. Seems like a long time ago, but not too long... Now if I were to send out my resumé again, I prolly wouldn't use the same stationery. Would I?


On another note, remember John Lennon/Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy? Specifically, the song Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him? [Most peeps are prolly like, "Yikes, Yoko Ono!!" This time around Yoko came out with her own version of the song to reflect the gay community... woohoo!! Basement Jaxx did a Man2Man, Woman2Woman and a regular Str8 version... I uploaded a couple of mixes to my radioblog. I know I have a lot of songs in there... But if you happened to be in the mood, feel free to dig around, you'll find them...

Have a wonderful weekend! Signing off...

Every man has a man who loves him
In rain or shine or life and death
If he finds him in this lifetime
He will know when he looks into his eyes

Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying

Every woman has a woman who loves her
Rise or fall of her life and death
If she finds her in this life time
She will know when she presses her ear to her breast

Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I run when I feel like holding you

Every man has a man who loves him
If he finds him in this lifetime
He will know...

The Passage

When one's alive, one feels the love, and the pain... and when death finally comes? Now why must I talk about death n' dying...

I was thinking [again] last night right before I fell asleep... Listening to a bit of music, drifting off... conversing with the dreamy demons: Y'know, not everyone's 'fortunate' enough to lie in his/her own deathbed. Sounds a bit morbid? It's just that you've read and heard stories about people 'letting go', while they're clutching their last breaths...

"It's okay, it's okay to let go... It's time..."

When people are in their last hours of life, sometimes, they need to be reassured. Next week is my grandfather's 10-year anniversary since his passing. I wasn't at the hospital that night cuz I was working, and by the time I got the message and hurried over to the hospital, he was gone... The room was cleaned up and everyone had gone home. I didn't cry, and I didn't cry 'til the day of the burial.

You know that splitting moment when the dying [whether consciously or subconsciously] made that undeniable decision to finally 'cross over', there's just no going back... So I was thinking - that moment seems neither happy nor sad... It's just the thing to do.

It Wanted The Light It Wanted Everything Inside

[One] thought popped in my mind this morning [or was it last night?]... I believe a thought is basically linear, and singular, pretty much... A schizophrenic may hear different voices in the head, are they played out one after another or multi-layered?

Can anyone have multiple thoughts [not voices] going on at the same time? Is it possible? Thinking within. I wonder.

Music: Darron Flagg; Bach - C-Major Prelude from The Well Tempered Clavier

People

It's 10.57pm right now and it's late for me. I stopped off at the bank ATM machine about an hour ago and got some cash out. Near the front of the bank was this Mexican catering truck parked at the curb. I haven't taken my iron pill for the day so I decided to get some tacos to go ['em damn pills can really wreck havoc to your stomach even if you take it with food!!! ugh! Anyway, long story!]... I ordered 4.

I took out a $20 bill to pay her and she said: "Smaller?" "Sorry, I only have $20's. Is it 4 dollars? You can just give me fifteen back." She smiled as she reached in her apron and took out a small wad of money, with bunch of singles and one 5-dollar bill. She counted the one 5 and the rest with dollar bills. "5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15... 16." She counted every bill out.

I felt kinda bad. I wanted to make it easier for her thinking that she would most likely have a $10 and a $5 for change... I also wanted to give her a tip or something... I know, with my friggin' dollar ain't gonna buy her anything... I didn't see a tip box, and giving her 1 or 2 dollars flat out is prolly an insult or something. I was thinking: I know working these late hours isn't easy at all, and they all work hard and probably get so little out of it... I smiled and said my thank you, and then I took my food and walked away.

I could say more, but I won't. To me, they were very friendly, genuine, hardworking people... and I think that's something worth writing about. G'nite!
