27/54

27 days until Vancouver. 54 days until Costa Rica.

I want to make some big statement about perseverance and inner strength as I try to make it through the next 27 days... but all I can think to say is, "i need a nap."

Up.

Rest assured, it's possible.
How hard was it?
"It was pretty hard. It was very difficult, actually."

I guess the only question left is, "How did they get it down?"

Via.

#SXSW

Are you in Austin? Go see this.

#truefalse

every once in a while i get off my self-loathing ass, stay up past 10pm, put on a telletubby head and have an awesome time. throw my birthday, friends in town and a documentary film festival in the mix and we'll call this thing golden.

i'm pleased that someone captured the elegance of a hot-pink apple dress and a tinky winky head. i know what you're saying, not many people can pull of that look. and you're right. most people can't. but i can, i really can. (don't try to go back and look at the tribune link too many times, the pay wall will restrict you from falling in love with me.)

enough about me... if you want to read about more exciting things that happened at the festival, check out Zac's blog. or go read the hashtags #truefalse, #tf11, #tfeats...

oh, yeah. birthday. only 2 more years to wait for botox. P have me a bottle of champagne and an US weekly. that guy really loves me.

Happy 30th, Joya

There are friends with whom the days pass and the years fly and the states in which you reside get further apart... and the missing each other becomes palpable. But then, there are quiet moments on the couch with Palace on the ears and that friend in the gchat...

me: how does 30 feel?
joy: I feel good. Feel like I'm right in the spot I should be/want to be.
at least right now... things are really good.
me: yay. so so happy to hear that.
joy: 30s are gonna be good!
me: 20s are practice years. 30s are implementation years.
joy: oo, I like that.
me: yep. i'm trying to make a few more mistakes in these last practice years.
joy: just don't let it get too messy
me: naw, more like poor clothing purchases and bad lifestyle choices. you know, too much champagne and such.
joy: that is more than okay!
me: and you? any 30s resolutions>
joy: don't get drunk and drunk-dial/email... as often
joy: mostly just want to continue to follow the bliss, ya know.
be open to the abundance of the universe and all that good stuff

So, on this, (two days after) your 30th birthday, I send my love to you, Joya.

Love,
JB

Social Norms

I'm working on a training and am googling images to illustrate harmful social norms.

Like this one:

male entitlement anyone?
