Partay!

I'm sitting on the porch writing this and watching the party people depart from the house across the way to head to the bars. I wonder what the occasion is or if its just because it's wednesday. I wasn't invited so it must not have been very important.

I kinda want to write about more interesting things other than how I'm feeling about life. Perhaps interesting tidbits from my day/week/few days or whatever. I also want to start working photos into my blog. That simply means I need to get out there and start taking more photos. My digital camera has kinda been a little shifty lately so we'll see. But that's just an excuse. I continue to be inspired by things all over the place. I've been thoroughly enjoying the Sartorialist, which everyone should view every now and then in order to be reminded how nice one can look. Charleston never ceases to inspire me. Especially when I walk around at night. I think this calls for a night time photo adventure. I'm sure you'll be hearing the results of this soon enough. Most of all, people are a continued source of inspiration. I really feel that to further develop my work, I need a muse. In other words, I need someone who doesn't mind me taking their picture all of the time. If you know anyone, let me know. That said, I always thought it would just kinda happen and I would become friends with someone who is the a good muse. Oh well.

In the mean time, I'm going to go sit

and read Shakespeare's sonnets for british lit.

Jai Ho!

I know people have been raving about it and it's old news but I saw Slumdog Millionaire for the first time last night. I went into it with very high expectations due to all of the hype surrounding it so naturally, I was a little worried my high hopes would not be satisfied. In the end, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all night and all morning today. I'm not really going to go into detail about the movie itself other than telling you that if you have not seen it, you should.

Aside from immensely enjoying the movie for its story line, music, and excellent cinematography, watching Slumdog has fueled my continued desire to travel to the point of a growing anxiety about it. I just feel so strongly about being able to see so much of the world. In my current life plans, I just haven't figured out where it all fits in. I've always thought, the summer after I graduate. I feel like I want to be a teacher so I can just take my summers and travel the world. 

When I say I want to travel the world, I don't mean I want to go stay in nice hotels at the beach in different parts of the world. I want to experience so many different countries. I want to ride the underground in London. I want to sit at a cafe in Paris. I want to stroll through a market in Morocco. You get the idea.
