Sometimes you just need someone to tell you everythings going to be ok.....

'I love my wife, but I don't respect her, because I don't think she's smart'

I find, that I lose respect for people when I don't find them smart. It annoys me incredibly when people are slow to catch up on conversations, or they don't know who you're talking about even though you've told this story over and over for weeks. Its so frustrating, it amazes me how people can get through their lives being so incredibly slow, and for want of a better word, retarded.

Stop Worrying!

In ten or twenty years you'll look back on your life and say "Those things you used to worry about so much were soo small and trivial", take a step back, stop worrying.

"Don't sweat the small stuff... its all small stuff"

Chicks with Beards...

This photograph is part of a Media elective I'm doing. The model is wearing a beard made out of ribbons, I've previously worked on themes around humiliation and embarrassment, so this is a branch forward from that. I'll put up the other work at a later stage..

Back to the Island.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live on a remote island? Personally I think it's a great idea. Lately, I've been preoccupied with thoughts of the recession, college, and general worrying burdens, nothing all that serious, but distracting nonetheless. One night I had a thought, if we went to an Island, I'm picturing scenes from The Beach. There would be no need for currency, everyone would have their tasks. Ideally we'd be a group of close knit friends and family, we'd have our own vegetable patch and animals for food. We would build our own cabins gradually and there'd be a boat which would ship our family members to and fro occasionally, because we all know, as much as we'd like to escape them, we couldn't leave them forever.

As much as I'd like to prohibit recreation, there probably would inevitably be children on the island and a few couples. I'd say the single people will all score each other eventually, but it'll all be good fun. I haven't thought really about much else, the main criteria is that there is no currency, no salary, no bills, sounds good doesn't it?
