Its probably better to not talk about exactly who my crush is on this site, wouldn't want anyone getting in trouble, unless i get to punish them. anyway, my life has been utter turmoil. First knowing the crush is into me. Then, aaahhh, just finals, I went to the computer lab to work and got 17pages down for my urban anthropology paper and then none...

your cat will be fine, cat's are fighters, and they can take a lot. If he gets in eventually he'll be fine.
as for the bf, do what you have to do. when i lost my first "real" girlfriend it destroyed me for a long time. But now I thank her for starting the break up process, because it made me realize how open the world is.
he'll be fine too, just like the cat.

the kiwi? can't he get in trouble if you're going to school there? oh, but it's new york i'm sure that happens all the time.
last inauguration was good times. i think that was the best protest i been to. fighting nazis at their rallies was fun too. but i think i've had enough of all that.

oh...everyone is so interested in my academic pursuits (well, all 2 of you) anyway, my independent study is just a review of various squatter movements worldwide (great book on that topic by Anders Corr, No Trespassing) and I'm doing research with a bunch of squatter kids I know here in the city, and putting their movement/idelogies in a context of resistance to the corporatized/entrepreneurial postmodern...

okay, its kinda difficult for me to explain, even though that's like what my diploma should say when I graduate: 'dude you've succeeded in being totally postmodern."
Anyways modernism is all like, logic, rationality, science can make everything knowable and okay....think enlightenment ideals. In terms of urbanism, it means the secret to social unrest is providing box-like, 'banal' in the words of Jane Jacobs, buildings that rationally circumscribe space. It's all about rationality and planning. Post-modern is fragmented, ephemeral, playful, ironic, situated on difference, etc. There are no universal truths in the post-modern way of thinking. I praise neither, but inevitably we are in a post-modern era, marked by an almost obsessive consumer mentality, in which cities are completely obsessed with growth via outside capitalist investment. This is all in terms of urban things though, post-modern can refer to our general culture, art, etc.

Hi there, I really dig your pics. I like your dreds and I think you have got a killer tattoo on your back. And did I mention your hot?
I agree that we are becoming, if we are not already, a "consumer-obsessed society". However, I think that human institutions in general are unsustainable because part of what makes us human is free will. We have the ability to choose and are therefore flawed. Anyway, that is just my two cents worth.
You seem passionate about your studies and I admire that. I am currently working on my undergrad degree and am interested in pursuing graduate studies in Philadelphia or Northern California. I like learning as much as possible. I'm a dork that way
ciao.

Take up a winter sport. I hated winter and got depressed until I started snowboarding.

Boring life. Econ classes. Yep I can relate ;-) *le sigh*
Yeah, I've been too depressed about things to even update this journal. i don't know what to say, this fuckin country sucks, we actually elected this dumbass? well time to put our efforts to something meaningful, new tactics of disruption and resistance must be developed.

Do it. Now is the time to reach out and re-establish why you do these things in the first place. Once you do that you will be energized and ready to fight again.

I'm kinda scared, but i've fulfilled my civic duty, so now i must play the waiting game and prepare to go nuts (in a productive, action-oriented way) if bush is re-elected (the fuckin misogynist, christian fundamentalist bastard)...or keep an eye on kerry and make sure he doesn't do anything slick...all politicians are assholes, sorry i just have no faith...

Welcome to the days of the American Taliban.

Oh, another week gone by, time seems to pass so slow, yet where does it all go. I think I'm falling for my teacher...it's horrible. I've been feeling like such a loser lately, b'cuz I have such a disfunctional social life. Lots of that has to do with all my female friends taking time off school and leaving the city. On the other hand, I've...
