"do young people ever just trip on living?"

the title of this entry comes from a book i recently finished enititled Soul On Bikes, written by Tobie Gene Levingston, president and founder of the East Bay Dragons Motorcycle Club. If you haven't read this book, nor are you familiar with the Black Biker Set across america, i highly suggest you find a copy and holler back. this quote in particular struck a chord with me because it had me reflect upon how so many young men and women in my generation have yet to experience the awesomeness of life in it's rawest state. so many of us, myself included, get caught up in the bullshit of being young, while dealing with the reality of adulthood, and wanting to be creatively successful, but facing external and monetary blah, blah, blah...

anyway, what makes you trip on life? can you even identify what that is? or what it means for that matter?? i spent my sunday with kesh for a kitty & congo meeting and mini-photoshoot, and though i had a pretty gnarly head cold, and we only had two hours of free time (well, business time is what we initially had in mind), we ended up just really "lifing" out, if you will. we were both a bit stressed from this past week's personal business and extraneous adventures, and we started with a very constructed plan.

and then out came the craft bag.....

and from the craft bag came leather chord, gold, purple, and ivory colored beads, and copper coil.....

and then came kesh's newly thrifted, amazingly printed sheets......

add a heat lamp, kesh's self timer skills, and my affinity for jumping around.....

and what started as work, work, work, turned into play, play, play.

and quite a lovely way to spend my day off, i will say. (depsite my stuffy nose)
