How is everyone today?

I'm enjoying 1/2 of a multi-seeded onion and garlic bagel with cream cheese and lox. (Mmmmm!)

I'm thankful to be alive and writing and sipping coffee this beautiful Wednesday morning.

Hey! How about you? What are you up to today? Any special plans? Any resolutions made for 2008 you'd care to share with me and the world?

Sometimes it's best to keep your special ideas and intentions to yourself.
Or let them be known to just a few core people in your life that will support you no matter how cockeyed your plan(s) might seem to be.

Don't need no JOY SNUFFERS or DREAM SMASHERS around.
------------------------------------------

It's fun when ideas and words or combinations of such pop into one's head.

For Example: "Electronic Papyrus" (Just came up with it!....POW!)

What does "Electronic Papyrus" say to you? What does it make you think of?

For those not familiar with the term/word Papyrus here is a link

------------------------
On another note-

I have decided to check out a different type of Coffee house/ bakery / Cafe every week. (Maybe give a critique online?)
This list doesn't exclude wine tasting bars or fine restaurants or diners or even dive bars.

Lately, I've had the hankering to investigate
(diners & dive bars)
places where food and beverages are served that aren't 'trendy' 'hip' or 'sheeeeeek'.

Good old fashioned diners and drinking holes!

--- I just want to experience the unknown.
Do something different and off the beaten path.
Sit down and observe.
Sketch.
Write.
Interact with the unfamiliar.
Breath in a new light of disorder to distract me from myself
and
concentrate on a world with so many intricately simple innate sober seductions.

I want to soak it ALL in.

NO BOUNDARIES!
NO CONCLUSIONS!

Will travel to this place today. TEMPLE COFFEE (link)
Will travel as a pedestrian with camera in-hand and perhaps share with you my experience/critique/journey.

Traveled to this place last week: OLD SOUL CO. (link) Very much enjoyed the open-factory-warehouse feel.

Old Soul Co. was so laid back the employees (end-of-day-drink) were able/allowed to sip on wine.
Their glasses were set up on the food and beverage counters as they took orders.

They offer live jazz every Sunday!
--------------

Gotta go.......gotta keep a pen and ink paper journal flowing this year. Gotta take care of some tasks I've put off for toooooo long.

Gotta love life.

I DO!

Hope you feel the same.....at least for a the moment.

Let it be.
