Our daily lives offer endless opportunities for growth, struggle and enlightenment. We are all artists—endlessly painting, sculpting and arranging our very deep and very personal masterpieces.

We struggle in the way that we often manipulate, overreact and loose touch of our vision and ourselves. What happened to the visions and dreams of childhood? What happened to our fairy tales? Saving the world and traveling. Appreciating life and all those tiny moments.

We aimlessly perform day to day tasks—fearing to disturb the status quo. Days end in repetitive and unfulfilling ways—leaving individuals with a booked, busy and unsatisfying pallet. This arrangement of time and the company we keep provides us with dull hues from which inspiration is scarce. Visions and dreams have been lost—we are lacking the ambition to self reflect, and structure our most precious artworks—ourselves.

We can be beautiful, there is proof—people are defying norms and loving the unusual. People are creating their own destiny. People are placing the love, and delicate attention into shaping their lives just as the great Leonardo and Michelangelo mastered their trade. We should live by the same perfection—this should be our destiny. Daily we should work to realize our dreams—actualizing the perfection of which we are all capable. We are all precious cargo—artists forever creating our master image.

 

Dogs are exhausting…I can only imagine what kids are like! April 27, 2008

Today, Remy Martin and I went for an adventure. Remy, for all of you who don’t know is the newest addition to the doll house apartment my roommate Rebekah and I live in. And I try to go on at least one adventure a day–this can include but is not limited to: getting lost and finding my way home, visiting the dog park, and getting myself into awkward situations.

Not until Remy Martin came to town, did I realize how exhausting it is to complete the taken-for-granted tasks of the day with either a. dead weight, or b. a very slow, very curious other.

Remy and I had what I like to call a long, and action packed day. First, we got picked up by a friend, co-worker & fellow blogger Ted and his roommate Ryan–who by the way drives like a crazy person (ill give him the benefit of the doubt) as a result of “Boston biking.” Remy and I both felt a little sick:(

Then, I brought him for a walk at the dogpark–thinking that he might shit, pee or puke (as a result of the crazy driving) on their floor–that would be both awkward & messy.

Many more parks, walks and mindless wandering has left me exhausted and bed bound on a Saturday night and Remy is sleeping upside down on the couch and snoring–as seen in the picture above.

In respect to my older, mature and responsibility bearing siblings–and all other parents, “how the hell do you do it?” and “no wonder your in bed by 8:00.”

A dog is exhausting, but will eat anything and has limited vocal function-i.e they cant talk or cry. Kids on the other hand are picky and talkative.
