Here are some pictures from a project I did a few weeks ago. The assignment was to photograph contrasting and/or harmonious colors. I used slide film and just figured out how to scan it today.

So things are going pretty well, life is good.
Today was amusing, drawing class in particular. The teacher introduced himself etc. This is my version of what happened.
"Here is the sylubus for the class, and here.... is a naked woman. Draw her."
I was kindof surprised that we would do this the first class and it was kindof strange at first.
Yeah. Iliana and Jeremy just came in, we are going to watch Trainspotting now.

As one might expect, the city was different today. There was a certain silence in the air, a kindof eerieness, it was subtle, but it was there. Tonight we went down to the financial district and ground zero to take photographs of the "Towers of Light" -two massive columns of light projected miles into the Manhattan as a ghost-like reminder of the twin towers that once stood there.
Here is a selection of pictures I took there.
This is a series of pictures taken from the World Financial Center in lower Manhattan.

Today was rough, starting at 1am, my message board unstuck from the wall and made as much possible noise hitting my roomate's desk and then the floor. Its now sitting on a shelf. But yeah, boring orientation shit today, and class registration. Woot
But anyways theres much more fun stuff going on here in NYC too, (i.e: PROTESTS!!) we went to one yesterday and then made signs and went to central park where there was a huge mass of people.
( Civil Disobedience! )
I find it amusing that I am one of the few people with working internet here. My roommates left to go to the stairwell where Daniel discovered a wireless internet zone. Now theres a crowd out there having a stairwell-wireless-internet-party-type-thing. But I get to sit in the comfort of my air-conditioned room. Muhahaha!

I'm having a good time so far, here in New York City, ran around the city over the past few days.
There was a mistake in the address I posted last time, my address is:
118 W. 13th St.
New York, NY 10011
Room 3B, Mailbox #52
Last night we went on an amazing boat cruise last night around Manhattan and Liberty island. Then I went to my new friend Maggie (from Queens)'s dorm with some other new friends (Mindy, Jeremy, and Illiana) and we watched Spaceballs.

I love New York, but I still hate The Yankees.

New York is cool, I got in at about 11:30 yesterday and started moving in to my dorm on 13th street which was incredibly chaotic. So all my stuff is now in my room, settled and unpacked, the room itself is pretty nice, I have a desk by the window overlooking a courtyard. The roommates are nice and pretty cool. We had a dorm party last night, and I met some cool people. So I've met up with a handful of people who I think I am going to get along with nicely.
My Address:
118 W. 13th St.
New York, NY 10011
Room 3B, Box #50(i think, not 100% sure)
Tonight I am going on a sunset boat cruise around Manhattan. I will post pictures as soon as the internet is up in my dorm (im in the comp. lab now).
Bye.

In 4 days, I will be added to the ever-growing list of people who have left for school. These past few days have been undoubtedly strange with people leaving and it feels strange to finally leave the place where you have spent your entire life.
Right now I'm not quite sure how I feel. I'm tired, thats all I know for sure, I guess thats what happens when you're excited, happy, nervous, sad, and countless other feelings. In the end every chemical for every emotion mixes and just makes you exhausted. There are still a lot of things I feel like I need to do, yet with each passing day I feel no closer to actually accomplishing them.
Despite being tired, I've been having difficulty sleeping, I'm not really sure why, as soon as things start to settle down and I adjust to my new routine things should be better. Thursday night I did not sleep at all, and Friday morning I lay awake listening to the sounds of the house waking up. My mother came in to my room as I lay there with my eyes open at 5:30am. She came in to lock the door so the cleaning ladies wouldn't wake me up, but I was already awake and I went downstairs for breakfast. Around 7:00, everyone left, and at that hour there is nothing to do. I needed to clear my head and get out of the house because the cleaning ladies were coming. I needed to say goodbye to this town in my own way.
I went running for the first time in a long time. I left my house at 7am and ran up past the golf course, the highschool, and eventually downtown. Then I went home and jumped in the pool and slept. I've said my goodbyes to this town, my friends, and the people that matter. On the one hand I will miss this town and the familiarity everyone has here. However there is only so much a person can do here and I need to get out into a bigger pond I guess, but its not like im not coming back.
this will be my last entry before I go
Goodbye, Holliston

Everyone is leaving and that is sad/bittersweet. Tonight was Karens going away party, her family is moving to Cali and she is going to school there. So I will see her rarely if ever again.
Mark is leaving tomorrow, so I hear- Good luck and goodbye, Mark!
Tina is leaving Thursday, we have to hang out before you go- one last dunkins run this summer, haha.
Byron is leaving on Friday, good riddance!!! (just kidding) I will miss your often harsh but amusing wit, and scaring of Courtney.
I am leaving in 8 days.

Tonight I broadened my musical horizons courtesy of Mindy from Jersey (Parsons), Byron, and LimeWire. I downloaded/was sent songs by Nick Drake, Rufus Wainright, Guster, The Velvet Underground, and The Kinks. So we just kindof listened to eachothers music through the microphones on our Powerbooks. It was chill.
Now imma copy Byron who in turn copied Mark Boylan, and someone else may in turn copy me, or not...
( OMGz, its an LJ Cut! )
Hmmm, some of these numbers seem off... seeing as Courtney is only 7 miles further away from New York than Holliston. Its a small world after all.

Letter: Do the right thing
Thursday, August 5, 2004
It is disturbing to read that the Brack family must rely on donations to cover medical bills resulting from the NSTAR manhole explosion. Why hasn't NSTAR stepped forward to cover medical expenses resulting from this horrific tragedy with their facilities?
Covering all medical expenses now, without holding this as a bargaining chip for potential litigation, would not only show class on the part of NSTAR, but would be the right thing to do. How about it, NSTAR?

[03 Aug 2004|11:53pm] |
Today I did the following:
-Worked my last shift at Toys 'R' Us, perhaps the most unpleasant 14 months of employment, ever.
-Gave Jesse a $650.00 wad of cash in front of the Church, looking like a drug deal.
-Got on the 5:30 news on ABC talking about the benefit. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/3610888/detail.html
-Went to Wendy's
-Closed the Livejournal Community: Toys_R_Us_Kids, it needed to die... in a few days some loser will start a new one.
and now im listening to "Dont you want me baby" by Human League.
THE END

[27 Jul 2004|03:38pm] |
Today, I gave my two weeks notice after getting an unpleasant lecture from Chris about my "unprofessional behavior" but he was right about one thing when he said "you must think me an asshole".
In other news, I went into Boston tonight with Lauren Craft, and MSNBC's "Hardball With Chris Matthews" was filming from Quincy Market. Lauren and I were in the front row in the background of one of the speakers. I had a Kerry sign and I moved it slowly back and forth, behind the guy talking. Then I made sudden left-right jerking motions with the sign followed by up-down motions with it. In addition to this I was chewing gum with the least possible amount of subtlety. When we got home and watched it on Tivo I almost died laughing. I love playing stupid games on National Television.

| Making a Difference |
[23 Jul 2004|08:37pm] |
Today has renewed my faith in people, that maybe people arent so bad afterall. Today has made me see in something I hadn't seen in Holliston before. I've been saying for years that I want to get out of Holliston, but I finally realized why someone might want to stay. The people here quite simply care about eachother, they look out for their own, they cry when someone from town is hurt in a terrible tragedy. I feel like today, the caring people of Holliston did this for Eric Brack.
Heather and I were going to literally every business in town with flyers talking about the "Eric Brack Medical Fund". In every business the people were concerned about Eric's condition, I overheard discussion about it, about how one woman broke down into tears when reading an article about Eric- as did most others who read it. Although there were some corporations that simply could not let us post the signs, they still asked about Eric, they too cared. It almost seems like Eric is a member of a huge family, that is this town, and we must come together to help him in his time of need. By 3:00, Heather and I had put out 4 donation canisters, in addition to the ones put up by Jesse earlier. We put up a total of about 50 flyers in and around town, in businesses and telephone poles, we put up a banner saying "Get Well Soon Eric!" in the window at Fiskes. I went back to CVS tonight to buy some things for dinner at Josh's and I found that the donation canister was full. We are making a difference with the help of the great and compassionate people of Holliston.
Please help.
