I was bored so I thought I might update my journal since its been a while.

I have fallen in love with rockabilly retro culture, there is something quite appealing about simpler times, fast cars, vintage beauty, tattoos, great music, etc...I think my next major venture (enough scratch permitting) will be to restore a 1930 ford roadster with my dad. He is totally on board with it and I am super stoked about meshing my aesthetics into a classic rod. I am hoping to undertake as much of the build as is humanly possible myself, no simple task since I am a total mechanical novice, but I am excited to learn. I really really adore the car in this link: [link] , I think that taking my metal working capabilities to the next level will be really rewarding and satisfying, while gaining a super bad ass ride in the end to boot.

Anywho, other then the aforementioned, I have been trying to draw daily, which feels great, something I have not done since early undergrad. I like to keep myself busy as I am currently unemployed, and what better way to do that. My studio is coming along quite nicely as well, many tools to go yet, but that is part of the fun. I would really like to start showing again soon, hopefully somethings will start to pan out in that regard.

Well, what else can is say, summer has been good to me so far, lots to do, many concerts, good times with friends, and most importantly ultra relaxing; something I think I needed to do for myself after graduating and then jumping right into teaching for a while. I can see the appeal to being bohemian, but eventually the reality of my poorness will set in and off to work I shall go...
