22 more days...

This might sound a little dramatic but I'm so tired of my life right now. Everyday, it's the same exact monotonous routine: school, home, eat, and sleep. There isn't a highlight to my day. Well maybe American Idol on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and ABDC3 on Thursdays, but it's nothing to go ape-shit over. I need more spice, sudden fireworks to my overly gray skies, if you will. Certainly a quick roller coaster of emotions and events will do the trick. But what are the options? I can't just plan things because it isn't as fun as spontaneity, that's for sure.

In other news, my birthday is in a few weeks and I can't wait. But I can't believe I'll be nineteen already. Just yesterday I was taking my behind the wheel exam. The other day I was playing DDR with Jessica and Scotty in my garage. I'm a child in a pseudo-mature world. But with age comes experience and with this experience comes memories. And I can't wait to make more during my nineteenth year here.

Also, I've been drawing much more lately. I don't know why but listening to music really plucks the artistic strings in my brain. I'd be listening to The Fray or Alicia Keys and imagine what the music would look like if it was turned into a garment. And since they have really soulful ballads, the sketches look very romantic, flowy, and somewhat ethereal. And I've also been thinking up of eccentric themes for a runway show, like if a tribal elder met a medieval knight; a cross between nature and structure, or if a traditional Tahitian dancer wore a Salvador Dali painting; feelings of grace and intensity within a disoriented dream. So once I get my printer to work again, I'll scan some and lay them out here. I know I said I'd show my sketches a while back, but I lost them! :[ So i've been drawing and drawing like a dog with rabies. Just pray that I can get my printer to function!

OH, and fuck Etta James for calling Beyonce out and for being a dumbass hypocrite.

with much fabulosity,
Ricardo Juni
