now back in the states...

i have the urge to hit a road trip soon to bishop for a while to snowboard and bouldering before i fly back to nyc and look for a job.

if you guys are up for some deep reading, i'd suggest you to read naomi klein's _no logo_ it's about how branding has a huge effect on our lives. even though i create logos for a living, i hope that i don't have big shot clients in the future. also, this book is one of those reasons why i've been wearing t-shirts ever since i started college. t-shirts are cheap and don't affect on sweatshops as much as i'd buy branded clothes. also, related to branding, i'd probably go nuts if i ever see an ad being tacked to one of those ancient forest trees in a national park or see a wildlife animal being 'tagged' with a sponsor's name on it. that's how crazy the world could have become if we don't do a dayum thing about these $$$ corporations.

ok, i've vented out enough and it's time for me to focus on logistics to bishop...

oh yeah, i wanna give a shout out to my hunny for putting up with my long vacation, and i really do admire her for the open communication between us. honey, i'll be coming home soon!

also one more thing... if you care, i just happened to be flying with a well known old timer singer, santana, and his band on the plane. seems like they were flying back home from a gig in sydney or so. no one seem to bother santana and the band much in the plane. wish i could have introduced myself to santana and let him know about my design services if he ever needs one, but then i don't think my style would ever fit with some of his psychledic flyers.
