Scandinavia

I have an illogical obsession, a love affair, with all things Scandinavian.
So much so I've based much of my future plans around the place.
I think a lot of it springs out of my love of the cold,
And this is a place I've painted as an eternally frosty place, even in summer.
I just figure it's the place for me.

I think it's ridiculously illogical for me to have such a ridiculous focus on going to this place I don't know anything about really.
I guess it's no more illogical than wanting to go to Brazil because you want to see the Amazon, or wanting to see China when you know nothing more of it than that it contains a Great Wall somewhere.
I'll content myself with that concession anyway, and besides I'm not going around proclaiming that it's my future, just that I plan on living there!
Australia's a wonderful country, but I just think it's limited.
It doesn't have any of this stuff, anyway.

Chrono Shredder



The Chrono Shredder by Susanna Hertrich.

Shreds a day every 24 hours.

I think it's pretty useless functionally, but it is really nice for a talking point and gives a really nice point to think about very quickly. I'd probably buy it.

Trust a German to design a device that tries to destroy your history!

futures

it's good that i've found something that i enjoy.
it's not exactly what i expected, but i know that now i'm passionate about it
and want to be good at it.
"you only get out what you put in" and i'm working hard to get some good work happening.
i know that this isn't the secure future that i thought i needed a year ago, but i do know that i'm interested in securing a future in this, "design", as tenous and vague as that term is.
i hope i can get a break.
but mostly i hope the next 3 and half years allow me to get the best i can out of myself.
maybe at the end, I can produce a random useless object like this:

some of my fave objects atm
















I want someone who's a bit rough around the edges
And that will come in and fuck up my life a bit.
Shake things up.
Things are a bit linear, a bit too OCD-centric.
Someone to blur lines, throw a curve ball,
Inject some chaos theory.
Not too perfect, maybe someone that swears, does drugs, smokes or something.
A person that'll fuck me up a bit as well, makes me doubt myself
But gives me a chance to think about philosophy, life, how things work in a polar opposite to me.
I want to tell you how much you interest me
And that you're refreshing in every sense of the word.
I don't know how to go about it any way shape or form, however.
It's a vague dream.
Catch a hold!
