Look at That World

While from the outside it might appear that I now have nothing to do, since I have turned in my last final assignment on Saturday, I still feel I have so much to do. A nonsensical feeling, right? Nothing to do, but everything to do. A thousand worlds to explore. The sun coming up, the…… Continue reading Look at That World

I am my own best friend. I am my own worst nightmare. I am kind to myself. I am very critical of myself. I think about who I was. I think about who I am. I think about who I want to be.

The Lost Encounter

Is our technology filling in for what we might have encountered in the city? I feel like my computer has become a part of me and my day to day experience. The computer is like a magnet.
