Dabbling with words.

The mind contains such multitudes that I find it hard to NOT contradict yourself. In a way, I believe contradicting could be a good thing. The way I see it is that you are able to see from a variation of perspectives, my problem is I find myself agreeing with maybe too many points of view. Lately, I have noticed people are struggling to find themselves and realizing who they are and how they are defined as a person. What has brought them up they way they are, what knowledge they have gained through the past, what their life has consisted of for X amount of years, and what capabilities they have for the future. As humans, we are too impatient for this life long process. It has come to my attention that if we spend a bit of time each week in a place of solitude and create a period of 'not thinking', we can arrive to concepts and thoughts naturally. So starting this week I'm going to do my best to follow this project of mind. To have a session of feeling essence or purely observing or to simply absorb my surrounding environment.

Speaking of projects, as of February 1st, I am going to post one photo from my day each day for a month and see where it leads me. I did this experiment on facebook for the month of December and I'd like to revisit it.

A stay overseas

A few things to check off my spontaneous list:
Dancing at the Roberto Cavalli Club
Go to a high class Scott Schuman book signing
Experience Grom's natural-made gelato
Walk by the Duomo about a trillion times
Get my hand kissed twice [and counting]
Bargain hightop purple leather chucks
Try beer and multiple wines
Befriend cappuccinos
Visit Sienna, Chianti, Gimignano, and Pisa

It's only been a week and a half, I walk the streets like I [slightly] know them. School hasn't even STARTED. This four month stay feels like a short visit, it has yet to feel like I'll be here for the time of reality.
