Interlude

Before I get completely out of the transitional: "I AM STARTING A BLOG THIS IS WHAT THE BLOG WILL BE" phase, which I assure you will be soon...

I'd like to briefly present my gratitude to one "Sewphie Raylee", whom I happen to have went to school with a while ago, for giving me a shout out on her blog HERE:

She makes stuff. It's really a lot more complicated, creative and philosophical than that, the first thing you see below the title on her site describes it pretty well:

"Collect the tissue from tea bags, allow masking tape to age and brown, and sacrifice assured craftsmanship for a work more down-to-earth. Pocket every trinket, each picking of rusted metal, scrap cardboard, discarded wood, chain or wire and find value in our gifts to the gutter. Please admire process, not price tags. Please appreciate the unique and very human ability to create. Do these things to defy what is manufactured and to celebrate what is ‘craft.'"

Back in the day when she did a presentation on her work, I remember being distinctly blown the heck away, and flipping through her blog again it's all coming back to me now. I remember, before even the deeper political stuff started coming up, just imagining living life like it was Minecraft, and my brain filling up with: "Whoa."s to the point of bursting.

But I digress, it's definitely worth a check out for anyone out there who haven't yet. Perhaps it will be that one thing to bring your life back from the twisted pile of broken dreams you keep in the corner, pretending its not there, pretending you're not a failure. I in fact promise that it will.
