this is a running log of my thoughts - less personal more toward my general ideas, plans, lists, design thoughts, etc.

haven’t written here in a while. i’m sitting at warda, a bakery in detroit. its good. expensive. but it’s ok. it’s empty, just been doing my SuperHi course i just started. it brings me a lot of joy to have learning brain again, and at my own pace and hoping to keep strong forward with it.

I’ve been looking at masters programs in europe as i watch a long talk between angelo baque and virgil. virgil really, of course, was an example. everyone can agree. but i heard his voice like that of my favorite teacher, of that guest art class where you learned to make that craft you’d recreate the second you got home. it wasn’t about hype it wasn’t about money it wasn’t about fashion. it was about design, academia, architecture, language. i think that’s why i connect. he spoke this poetry of academia for the today, the language i got so used to in my anthropolgoy classes but mirroring today’s country and society through product.

i think of age often. i feel lucky at my age, a ripe 23 close to 24. i have a home, i have a degree, i have friends, and overall have a happy life. and i see these accomplishments as an asset, yet, they seem without a foundation. i skipped the years of experience, the trial, the work to get to these places. and i do feel this often. i haven’t had cohesive experience, i’m all over thhe place. i can’t land job interviews or continue throuogh processes as there’s always someone with just a bit more experienec, or well, can somehow charm their expeeriene through woords. i also don’t know what i want at the moment. i don’t have the image in my head, the track, the goal, the vision, the next step.

I keep circling back to getting a design masters. Perhaps architecture.

Watching Get Organized with the Home Edit on netflix. I was in tired mode as I laid and relaxed. But as I watch I start getting ideas.

I guess my tiredness was COVID. Tested positive yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work at city hall. As i took the test I knew what it was.

Today I feel tired. I don’t want to pick up the clutter after my latest reoorganizing and reordering of the living room. Don’t need the piece #2 of my china cabinet set anymore, just need to empty it as it holds all my craft supplies. Well, some of them. Need to build a little bookcase situation for it. Another thing ot build. Haven’t bought a table saw yet, and my shop as can’t really do to too many things. Hand saw would be nice too. Why do i keep myself. Maybe it’s the cost. Maybe its my commitment.

Ok. designers are in a far fetched, moat-ed, high castle kingdom where perhaps one can climb in but can mainly just stand from outside and watch.

This is my notebook of my brain and its thoughts regarding what i want to build and beyond.

Last night I moved my iphone charging station, wireless since the dust from construction projects has made its way into my lightning port and coompltely ruined it, next to my bed. To scroll. This time it was composting toilets, all of them. The bucket ones you can make for under $30, the $1,000 ones diverting pee and poo, and the ones even more that somehoow convert your waste into

Today I started my

Today I went to menards for the first time. You can see its chandeliers and large bulbs peeking through the windows as if yuo really want to go inside, and th layout is completely warped ot taht of home depo orr lowes. Everything is ornized and the cashier is in hte middle not oon the ends, the lumber is organized and not all there, moost of it is outside, just small samples in the store itself. I gazed intensely at the plywood. All its shades.
