I enjoyed a beautiful slumber and woke up after 9 or 10 hours of sleep. What could be better. After I stirred. I read and enjoyed working internet. Today is going to be a good day. I relaxed for a good portion of the morning and early afternoon. I talked to Abbey, my friend Desiree among others. I then headed out to grab some food. Then I saw an amazing show at the Cultural center here. http://laberintodemiradas.net/ (if you go to the link, click on exposiciones and then the one called Fricciones y Conflictos en IberoAmerica, that is the show I saw). When I see shows like this, the fire and drive inside of me burns. To see what is possible from one side of the lens to the other. I hope to reach a level where I can get photos like that and be shown on a similar level. It was a great show and I kept some literature on it as a way to remember. While James Nachtwey is my favorite photographer and the one I look up to most, I saw some photographers who motivate me as well. The quote above is by one of them. It says "we live in a world where the real and the imagination, the cruel and the sublime are confused." Is that not truth?
After, I walked around the city about and took some photos. Like I said, I was inspired. I then headed home. At home, I viewed another depiction of the cruelty of our world in the form of the movie Traffic. It was intense but good. After, Joe and I headed out for some chicken sandwiches. They were quite delicious. I went for a walk later. Then chilled the rest of the night.

“There is only this - all else is unreal.”

I woke up and read a bit of El Facundo before I showered and had lunch. After lunch I relaxed for a bit and tried to talk to Abbey and edit some of the photos from Thursday's show. The internet was really bad so I had to go. I tried to go the doctor's offices but no one answered the doorbells when I went. I think on Monday, I will just call. As much as the health care system in the US is screwed up (lets pass the bill PLEASE), it is does have some benefits. After failing, I headed home.
I bought an adapter for my hard drive. I plugged it in and moved the music from one hard drive to another. After this finished, I finally loaded all my music onto iTunes. I had yet to put music on my computer since its crash so it was nice to finally have lots of music again. I watched the Terrence Malick movie, "The New World". It was simply beautiful. No wonder that some people call it one of the best movies of the 2000's. I read more and then headed to dinner.
After dinner, I chilled most of the evening due to no real plan panning out. Due to crappy internet, I didn't much in that way to. I went to bed at a relatively hour and enjoyed a good night sleep. Not a bad day.
