1.) went to bumbershoot on sunday and was completely overwhelmed by the people and everything that was going on. did a lot of seemingly pointless walking and bumping into people. reminded me of why i always listened to my ipod when i lived in nyc... too much stimulation. flatstock was incredible except for the people. i wish i had someone to talk about the posters with... it made me soooo happy to see all of that stuff, and then the people made me agitated. i did get to talk to jay ryan, and mentioned holly and syracuse and we chatted for a bit. he seems like a lovely fellow. i saw sonya kitchell (who has an incredible voice for anyone, let alone a 17 year old) and jose gonzalez and more hoardes of people that made me feel like i exist on a different planet than them. all in all, the day was pretty terrible. the highlight was a little boy in a wonderfully striped shirt & darth vader mask and the delicious apple i brought with me. oh and these lovely lights. the boy also did a wonderful t-rex impression. i hope i'm never too old to do a t-rex impression when the mood strikes me.
2.) i'm so sick of cynicism, and i'm exhausted by people that have plenty of bad shit to say but nothing good. i don't want to censor my thoughts because someone will tell me they're stupid or wrong. i refuse to be made to feel small. i'm sick of people claiming they're open minded and then realizing they're quite the opposite. i miss people like bob who are ageless and childlike. i miss unconditional love, support and acceptance that won't evanesce over night.
"i want to live life and never be cruel"
3.) made a new friend today named shawn. he seems like a kind & gentle soul. we threw rocks off a cliff at discovery park into the sunset because i really fealt like throwing rocks. i also shuffled around in the sand in my bare feet. we're going to go on a field trip to look at art and talk about it which makes us both very happy.
