Just thinkin

Snowbound.

circumstance and inertia build a soft embankment,
hemming you in,
weighing you down,
as the warm sun softly blinds you.

What you need is an eskimo
to show you the way, the flavours of snow,
the ways and uses- inspiration,
because snow is soft and easily moved.

Snow bound.

More thinkin...

You've got me thinking about my furniture again- not sure why, I'm thinking about a lot of stuff since we started talking. Like what's important, what I enjoy, and how I want to live my life.

I've always done what I enjoy and enjoyed what I did, but lately I've become stagnant: working to pay the bills, spending more time with friends on weekends drinking rather than working on my projects, generally trying to make the weeks go faster so... well, I'm not sure why. Because I have this feeling that something's going to change dramatically in the future, and I want it to be the future now I guess.

BUt back to the furniture: I have a degree in Furniture design, but not the talent to make it in the high-end design world. My work is simple, useful, comfortable, and handsome, but not the sort of thing most people lust after. So I became a chef, and later moved into motion graphics. Lately I've been thinking about my design again, doodling in my notebook, running wee structural analyses in my head, manufacture simulations, devising jigs and techniques... Since I have no workshop its all theoretical- for now.

The future is going to be here sooner than I think. I suspect it's already started.
