for(e)thought

"When he is talking to you for the first time, he is drunk. It might be on beer or it could be on something nonalcoholic. He could be intoxicated on the music, the room's general vibe, the wad of cash in his pocket or your gorgeous eyes. Whenever [Rob] is in an outgoing mood, he is intoxicated on something. But even when he is outgoing, a part of him is held back--you can see him thinking things he does not say. It is as if he were partly somewhere else, hearing a secret symphony that you cannot tune into. That is because he is..."

This passage comes from a rather comical (yet frighteningly accurate) astrology book, introducing the fluid Pisces. It seems fitting, so welcome and let's get drunk together!

This marks the premier of my newest pursuit and the cause of much anguish in coming to fruition - my own blog. As I finish my last year of undergraduate uni I felt it time to develop an outlet for both my personal and professional narrative. I hope that this is to be a repository for thoughts and observations--personal and professional-- that describe my current state of constantly accelerating transition and flux. I hope to translate some of these thoughts into coherent and, dare I do myself the honor, enlightening realizations about my time in Los Angeles, my future, my past, and the increasingly elusive definition of myself in the now.

Whatever direction this takes, I hope to meld discussion of my academic interests in avant-garde, experimental, queer and short film with my extra-curricular interests in still photography, martial arts, art and architecture. Blending graphic design, language, philosophy, travel, yoga, and the budding bit of queer activism I have recently undertaken, along with my adventures and discoveries in the city of Los Angeles, I will share my day-to-day and the ideas I glean from it.

And who knows, I might find an increasingly more integrated definition of myself and how I plan to take over the world...or rather, make a space for myself in it. In short, what I have to offer.

So welcome! Please follow, comment, react, revolt, and share yourself with me in the same way I hope to share part of myself with you.
