So, it’s not that I wouldn’t go if I was given the opportunity. And it’s not that I don’t think there are a handful of extremely talented artists participating, because of course all of that is true. HOWEVER…with that said…I have minimal desire to attend ACL. GASP, I know. There’s just something about all the [...]

Sex, Drugs + Cocoa Puffs…And Weekends + Swimmings Pools + Sunshine

A Little Cell Phone Photojournalism
Took another walk tonight – decided to switch it up a little and document my walk via iPhone photography. (; Found this under the Lamar Street bridge.

Hanging out at Goodwill
If you were ever curious about what I spend my Sunday afternoons doing… I usually end up doing fairly random things that probably no one else would enjoy doing…but I find some element of enjoyment, so I suppose that’s all that matters, right?

finding inspiration in weird places
So…generally, I am a work-o-holic. BUT, I am working on it. …uhhh that type of work doesn’t count.

to mourn the loss of Reading Rainbow…
As I’m sure we all know by know, Reading Rainbow in done and done. What a shame. And another beautiful example of how off kilter our view of education is. And by our, I mean those in charge of the education system…so perhaps the Dept. of Education…the Government? I heard a piece on NPR about [...]

education, music + process
1 1/2 years ago in Dave’s curiosity class, my term curiosity project was to learn all that I could about education systems over the course of ten weeks. Since then, and especially now that I have joined the education field, I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about education models. I won’t go into [...]
