the number 67.
So my intramural basketball team is playing today and I’ve been going back and forth between what number I should wear. Well, I have finally decided.
In honour of two legends. Two greats. I am going to wear the number 67. Not only is this a direct reference to the 1967 Celtics team, which I will save for another discussion, but oh so much more.

intimate yet monumental.
I have begun work on an idea for my large format drawing class that will be based on the third eye and all implications of what that means. I am uncertain at the moment as to how large it will be, but i know it will be 6 feet by 6 feet, at the least.

the 20 of 09.
So after long hours and many days of trying to figure out my top 20 albums of the past year, I have finished. I am certain I could go back and look at these and switch many all over the board, but this is how it stands. This was far too hard.
