Sunday Sunday

Last night I stayed out until 2:30 in the morning, roaming the club streets with a teammate of mine, fundraising money and smiles. It was cool, we didn't go in anywhere but met some really nice people, securing my theory that kind people are everywhere and sometimes they don't know how to express their kindness unless given a hand. We met some jerks, too. There was this guy who was standing with a group of other brothers who had lamborguini doors on a suburban, first of all, and when I aksed him to contribute toward the fight against AIDS, he looked down, grabbed his crotch and said, I got your AIDS right here...I said, 'i'm so sorry to hear that'.

Not everyone is connected but for the most part, I have an optimistic view that most people do want to be kind. Today was good, I found a natural grocery store that let me a Chris stand out front and ask for money for a few hours and we made good money until the manager said we were being too agressive with the customers and would rather that we just sit there and let people come up to us and ask us if they can give money to us...which is lame so we left. It felt good though to be called agressive, its a measure of the willingness I have to support this cause.

And sticking with the plan to work harder, after making a bunch of money, I went to the book store to lurk around and write things down out of books that I cannot afford to buy which makes me a gypsy and I'm okay with that. Anyway, I wrote down some things on the philosophy of happiness as a state of being and I intend to write myself some essays in an attempt to breakdown these components and mix them with my own and we'll see what comes out on the other side but I am learning that it is not about becoming everything that I read. It is letting things work their natural course of attraction and benefiting from understanding a little bit more about something and its practical application in my life.

After that, I found this cool graffiti artist sketchbook that had a ton of information about the creative process of artists I really liked. So, I wrote that down as well and decided to put together a book of all this information I am finding along this journey, a little creative process journal, if you will. I think it will be helpful since I am teaching all this to myself and I don't have any way to measure my performance.

Left Barnes n Noble and took my spoils to the house and sat down to write about it.
