I haven’t been meeting enough cats lately. I miss having a cat.

Yesterday I realized I posted basically the same photo to the blog twice. I’ve been too busy to catch details like this.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a good cheeseburger. Maybe I’ll get a cheeseburger tonight.

There’s a dinner at my studio tonight. There was a dinner at my studio last night. I didn’t eat at either of them.

Yesterday we did a food shoot and we also didn’t eat any of the food we photographed.

It’s odd being around food so much and not eating any of it. I had a great breakfast burrito this morning, though.

I’m not meeting enough cats lately. I miss having a cat.

There’s a book of poetry I’m currently reading, which is clearly rubbing off on me today.

His (Kevin) poems are far more interesting than whatever this is, however.

One thing it made me realize is that as we get older we long for our youth. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

I met Kevin’s mom last night at the dinner I hosted in my space.

I was afraid of dogs when I was a kid, which is probably why I’m more of a cat person.

I’m not meeting enough cats lately. Maybe I’ll find a new street cat friend tonight, take his picture, and add it to this here collection.

I’m a huge van of Vuhlandes. He’s a filmmaker whose youtube channel has been influential in convincing me to get back to my roots and shoot video again. Seemingly every video he drops has some nugget of influential coolness that just looks like a ton of fun and makes me want to emulate his style. His recent video release is as powerful as ever, while also being sad as can be. I hope Vuhlandes makes a full recovery as soon as possible and this is just a small roadblock in his journey to bigger and better things ahead.

If you’re not familiar with his work, go give it a watch; and if you’re able, consider donating to his gofundme.
