SUNY Purchase, 2 thousand four 00 and zero 7. Or 9. Purchase is a reknowned art school full of talent, caged by sullen brown brick and an administration with no concern for beauty, or at the least, no coherent knowledge of any of it. Unfortunately, in their attempt to decorate his postmodern contraption, nobody told President Schwartz that a green fence is no kind of beauty, and worse, in the middle of my path from home to the library. Enter Kristina Colby, Senior Arts Management major, also a professional resident of Westchester county, with aims to hang student work on the fence. The word got to me, leaked by conspiring madmen with aims towards enlightenment but with heads in cages, sometimes formally addressed as the PSGA. I joined on the project, helped promote by telling everyone I could about the project. Almost 96 panels of plywood, ranging from 1′x1′ to 2′x4′ were picked up in the course of 15 seconds. Some of my closest comrades missed the date but still wanted a panel. But by then, it was too late….
We hung up the artifacts, sightly and unsightly. Here’s proof.

…If I’m lucky. By the time it’s that time again, I will not have realized If I’ve aged. Grown a chia pet, a beard, and an untouchable cactus. If it has to be any day ending in Y, it will be yesterday. One order.
So I got my first photo in the NYtimes!!! It’s in the edlife section about college life. Check out the slideshow here: Edlife Slideshow
It’s a photo of my friend Melissa Ahern music superstar when we went on an adventure in the woods. Here was the original statement I made, they had to shrink it due to space. But I think it says more.
STUDENTS STUMBLE upon the tent in the woods and write their thoughts in a communal travelers log. I took my schoolmate Melissa to this little-known spot to get away, to adventure. She writes a poem about feeling at home here — the feeling of sharing with complete strangers and knowing she is welcome because they have done the same.

Heyooo well it’s been a while now since I’ve blogged! Where has the time gone!?!?! Here are some photos from the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco last night, Thursday, July 23rd, 2009, where I almost got kicked out for being too damn chill. Just kidding.This show was presented by the Mission Creek Music festival. Vunderful organization.
2009. San Francisco had a pretty cool jazz festival on fillmore street that I went to yesterday, Sunday, July 5th, 2009, year of our something. I couldn’t stop dancing the whole time, even while I took pictures my feet were-a-movin my mouth-a-mouthin the words to the endless michael jackson songs being played. He’s so hot right now. What a way to raise your stock, dyeing and all. He will be missed.
So no one knows what the hell hipster even means. And if you ask any hipster, they personally are not hipsters. So I can up with a definition.
Hipster hip•stur- 1. An art(istically) inclined person around their 20’s still unsure of plans or even the need to have any, combing this over with a heightened sense of individuality.2. Like Facebook people in real life
