The first thing on my mind when I woke up today was [ Call Ray ]!I FUCKING LOVE YOU RAY. You are seriously the male version of me…and I love myself (Puhaha). Talk about scary…
Without a minute to waste, I got up and started my journey into San Dimas to visit the GOLDEN CHILD. When I saw him, I was all smiles…Mr. Tattoo/Gauged Ears handed me a stencil drawing he had just made. Though it was a somewhat battered with tape tears here and there, he assured me that…”This is an original!” and that made my heart smile even more. LOL
Ray is the person who inspired me to cut out meat. (I don’t know how you fucking do it, but if you can do it…so can I). It’s been a good week since I even touched meat product. I have no desire. I am totally digging Flexitarianism.
What is that you ask? According to Wiki, a Flexitarianism is a semi-vegetarian diet involving eating mainly vegetarian food, but making occasional exceptions for social, pragmatic, cultural, or nutritional reasons. In a nut shell, ” a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat”.
When I first saw this definition, I thought to myself…Umm, yeah OK. But the more I think about it, it does makes sense. I DON’T WANT TO CUT OUT MEAT PERMANENTLY!
It could be possible that I was a carnivore in my previous life.
So yes, I will be munching on Leaves, Fruits and Nuts more often. Depending when I feel like it, meat. So people, help me transform into a new person…this will not be easy. Together, I can do it!
Okay, so with whatever free time me and Ray had left, we decided to drop by one of my favorite places in the world, Barnes & Nobles.
I went straight to the Art/Photography/Architecture section. All my life, I have loved Architecture! My father is a pretty sweet Architect…I think it’s in my genes. At one point of my youth, he wanted me to major in Architecture…so that one day I can take over his business. Looking back now, I wish I had given it a shot. It would have been a bit easier for me since I had all the tools.
I grew up in a male-dominanted area. I recall running around his job sites on the days I didn’t make it to school (I was probably sick). It was very cut throat and I loved it. I use to look at all the blue prints and I swore I understood them. In high school, I took AutoCad and it was very natural to me. At one point in my life, I was Daddy’s Little Girl.
That is the ONE and ONLY thing I admire about my father, was that he had a GREAT eye for design and art. He is truly a great artist, even I have to admit that. Too bad he is such a ugly person inside, otherwise he would have been someone very influential. Why was he so lucky to have the chance to explore his creative outlet, when this whole time he had hampered mine?
So I’ve decided that when I go back to school, I want to take some Architecture and Photography classes. I feel that I can do very well in these two, considering that my heart has been aching to do this for awhile now. I want to educate myself more on the art history, I have a few places that I can start.
I’m really excited. I feel like I finally found something that I can have a strong passion for, something besides music. I spend my days just thinking about the numerous things I want to accomplish…
So there is hope! It’s on the other side of the tunnel, but I see it!
