I get so lazy at times with writing, but i will attempt to recap things.
My aunt who had a heart attack is resting at home. Her two sisters rushed in from Florida last week like truly loving sisters. Those three siblings of my father have always been a unit and it's always amazing to see how close they stay to one another even though they all don't live in the same state any longer.

Having relatives like that should be enough to get me out of my funk, but it wasn't (i will eventually be out of it). I mean this weekend was spent trying to see the rest of the PS-1 exhibit and attend a party that Rich Medina was spinning in conjunction with the exhibit. All was cool though, bumped into some people i knew. And I did a lot of things last week as a result of having no volunteer work or apprenticeship to go to. Saw the three exhibits at the International Center of Photography and now i get to add another photographer to my list of inspirations -- W. Eugene Smith; Saw most of the PS-1 exhibit, which encompasses all three floors of this former public school; and finally saw the much talk-about Monster's Ball film. I cannot say i enjoyed the film, but it conveyed what i think Mr. Thorton was trying to put out. I don't think it was about a racist whit man's redemption like a lot of black folks seem to think it was about and get angry with. It was about to cold and distant people who find solace in each other, but not necessarily happiness.

Everyone seems to be in a dismal mood nowadays and it’s not just a side effect the world climate, but just regular life “stuff” that many of us have no control over. I'd say find what inspires u to keep pushing, as i am trying to do to shake it off. And you can listen to this and this for some inspiration.
