one.
I went to my ASM "Advanced Youth Development" training session yesterday. as a whole, it was a waste of four hours of my life. but man...the craziest thing happened- Bryn and Ron were there. not only are they two of the biggest artistic influences in my life, but it was through working with them that I learned that I want to teach. I would have liked to say to them, "I wouldn't be here without you and my dream is to keep building with you." but I'm just too shy for stuff like that.
Bryn invited me to the Rhino Fest. I'm all over it. you should be too.

before heading to the ASM meeting, I grabbed lunch at Che Cafe. all I could think of was Ashley, our car talks and the way she named me "Helonely". I secretly love the idea of her coming to Skidmore with me next year.

before I go to sleep tonight, I'm going to write out the details to my perfect day.

goodbye summer. goodbye sand-wrestling and photo shoots at the beach. goodbye cold cubicle, stale office air and workplace fling. goodbye batting cages, free trolley rides, darkroom visits and ultimate despair mixes.
welcome autumn. I've been waiting a long time.

he dreamt that I was made of Legos and that I kept falling apart. he carried my broken body to my bed and laid me down. I said, "Rafael, I lost my foot in the desert." he went to the desert and brought back a foot that wasn't mine. he searched a rainforest and found my Lego foot there. he dreamt that he climbed mountains and swam oceans to return to me these parts of myself that I had lost. each time he came back, I told him, "Rafael, I lost my eyes," or "Rafael, I lost my mouth." each time he would find that piece and slowly put me back together. the last thing he gave me were my hands.
I don't care if it was just his dream. that's friendship.
