March 15

Get psyched. Get overwhelmed with ideas. How to get them out? Coherency. Tangibility. Articulation constipation.

Must decide on a focus. Meeting with people inspires me. What to do with my own life?

Temp. Intern. Move to Toronto. Take risks. Use the youth. Stay inspired. Stay involved. Show up.

I got energy. I got passion. But about what?

Art is an idea. I like bringing things together. Must reflect more, consider more and write it all down. Use this blog to my advantage. Exercise my tools.

What was today? March 15. A Monday. Looked tired but felt attentive.

Rough sleep night before. Distraction on the pillow. Several episodes of Being Erica and then restless cold douvee. Early to rise, too early, not hungry but shoved down a mess of cereal, yogurt and banana. Drowned in milk and tea. Love the 10 minute walk to work. To coffee grinding, milk steaming, smiles upon entrance, cheerful conversation. Coffee house as the third home? Poor boy and lost laptop. As that is what he wanted me to believe. Or just wanted a chat, sharing his leads to purchase a replacement for his stolen companion. I know, my lonely friend, I know the lifeblood that is an Internet connection.

I watch the virtual office workers, against the public glass and faces into the world's laptop windows. Young, old, large, tiny 'tops are the rabbit holes to the universe. One young man scrolls through photos of a woman. An older gentleman, a regular from the block over, is increasing his daily small medium roast quota to an 8 as he perches intermittently at the south west corner with his hefty 'top. I want to know him. What kind of business is he conducting here? Where does he go in between his coffee breaks? A "factory" around the corner? How does he not go crazy from 8x12oz coffee? I have one Americano and I'm buzzing, concentration and articulation flying to the heavens. (Should someone consider an IV coffee drip?)
