I got my G2. this is where i spend my life... you are jeslous. i know, beautiful beautiful cubicle!

repeat.repeat.repeat.

I find songs every now and then that I listen to for days on end over and over and over again.

Good news, G2 acquired! I am waiting for it to come in the mail. Hopefully today so that I can take it with me on my trip to California which I leave for tomorrow. Right now it seems like time is just going. When I notice it days have gone past, I am usually used to operating like this.

Last night I went to this meet and greet thing for South Africans in the city. I got "outed" a lot in regards to having an American accent. It made me miss the fact that I don’t have much more that a cultural and somewhat emotion connection to the country. I get frustrated that I feel a connection to something I don’t know very well since I was so young when I left. My friend Step had an Afrikaans saying for it. Something in regards to it being my home internally, and when I am in Africa I have a connection to it since it is some way my home. I wish I could remember the phrase, I am sure it would make much more sense than my cryptic memory of what was said. I think after I finish with my learning Latin kick maybe I will try my hand at Afrikaans. It is a very guttural language so I think it might be difficult.

Tomorrow I will be near the beach and away from the city. I need it.

What do you mean it's time. Time for me to grow up?

Tonight I was handed the opportunity to see Gorilla Biscuits at CBGBs. I had been excited to go to the show for quite sometime. Seemed very much like it had the potential to be a momentous event. But this morning I woke up with the frame of mind that I would not be attending the show. Instead I went along and spent the day running around to make some plans, eating lunch at red bamboo after a very hot walk and a nightmare of a train ride into the city, getting caught in the rain, and unsuccessfully going to two movie theaters to see a movie in refuge from the rain. I went out a bit for Matt’s birthday (well birthday not birthday since it had been the day before) and running around with brain a friend from Syracuse. After a bit of hectic indecision we met back up with Danielle at CBGBs. She had been waiting in line for a few hours so I figured it would be nice to shoot the shit and keep her company a bit while she waited. The longer I stayed the more I thought “well if they do let people in why not at least get some money just in case.” As I went to get money we had our chance to get in. It was awesome to see. Very glad things worked the way that they did. I missed the excitement I used to have at shows, what has been put into place that I don’t get that way anymore?And something was said during between song banter that I thought about a minute more, that what happens is constantly fleeting. Everything is transient.

My Camera keeps eating my CF cards. this is not a good thing. I would like to get a new one like this Canon G2. i know they are big and bulky but i used to use them at school for this one digital class and the images were always spot on. I tried to better deal it by getting a newer smaller Canon point and shoot digital but it seems like that got me no where. I am going to take it around the city tomorrow to get some opinions of fixing and out weight that against the ebay buying price for the g2. I can also get a wide angle and other toys to get into for the G2.
