hello
2231 n sawyer apt. A chicago il 60647
is my new address. we are all moved in and very excited to be here. edward can run outside and scratch trees and i don't hear the cars at night. sometimes i don't even remember i am in chicago. i can't stop watching lost in translation, thats what kind of mood i've been in.
miss you all, you should come visit me; i have a pull-out couch and a film loaded camera.
i leave you with this:

the bus ignored me for two stops so i walked to the driver who let me off at 1:45am by a cruddy bar i yelled 'fuck' real loud because that's how i felt and i don't usually do that a cab driver picked me up and gave me a ride for a dollar and a half back to my apartment. he let out a booming guttural laugh when i told him what i do with my free time is draw. "you make no money eh?" "yeah i make no money. i have no money."
being broke has its perks- like you don't really think about things anymore because you have eliminated already the possibility of having them. the things i do have i treasure and choose carefully, and a meal that lacks soup is extraordinary.
in all my crits they said my work was moody, nostalgic, sad. i stood uncomfortably and could not argue. i made everyone sad- but in that was a sort of triumph. i am incredibly proud of where i came from, and for now that is what my work is about. i struggle daily with the pluses and minuses of where i was and where i am and i never thought i would consciously drown out happiness for the bettering of myself. now is one of those times you know you have something to say but it's still over your head, out of your grasp. in time i may find the words.
i have so much to describe but i will save it for whoever wants to sit down with me when i'm back in florida for eight days. my employee meeting is tonight at 10:30 pm sharp and i will know if i can get my shifts covered then.
