I just had a breakthrough in class today. Or right after class. It doesn't matter, it happened. I suppose I've been having this breakthrough slowly over the past few weeks or months, but today the edges of it started cracking and it came pouring through.

Perhaps it is better to just continue enjoying the time we have in sandals and shorts. Worrying is just a waste of mental energy that can usually be better spent on other things ( Read more... )

but I won't be there for long.

So. Warped Tour. Yeah. I wasn't very excited about the line up this year, but since I knew a lot of people going I decided to give it a shot. Here are a few moments in time that I was able to capture. Enjoy.
