when one reads on yoga in the actual century

thinking out loud.
any society that wants to only utilize technology can obtain it, but only those prepared to pay the price, in social self-absorption and bureaucratic overhead, can keep it. and like other potent technologies, writing radically alters every society into which it is introduced. it involves, after all, a kind of ritual mutilation of the intellect, a sort of cerebral circumcision. (r.b)

what happened to spontaneity. to making a phone call to a real person? to hanging-out "out of the blue"?
or shooting photograp
hies without a specific assignment in mind?

in the last months of school, this routine has castrated my imagination.
the energy stagnant in my lower stomach needs to come out and the distance, relevant and impersonal, causes me to wake up at 545 am and just lay there and stare at the ceiling.
the car broke down. winter and tight schedules serve me as opponents in a deficient public transit system.

still, coffee warms me up and i smile to the bus driver.

summer sunny and update


visualfer in san diego. updating the blog and starting to put together in a more serious way the portfolio that will show the different hats a modern visualfer/artisan is to wear.

listening to habana blues, deciding what to read tonight, on a midterms week. six weeks away from the next travel to cuba.

studying the light, reading octavio paz and ché guevara.

dreaming of a better world by designing with more awareness.
