melissa west makes things
a brief entry

so, everything i learned in college i am quickly tossing out the window. this is because experiential learning, i feel, is the most effective guide to formulating one's criteria for living and creating.

so all of those textbooks and rules and rules for rules sake turn out to all be a hoax. i read more books in the past year than i ever did in college and i'll say, i did alright.

the god delusion by richard dawkins was a radical experience for me. i recommend that book to everyone. it took me two years and nights of staying up and contemplating but it is a brilliant treatise on why organized religion is at the root of our hatred.  

the taoh of pooh, i read this on the lawn at union square park during the late summer of last year. letting go of inhibitions and perceiving the moment as the fluid motion it is... sipping tea with the sunshine. diggin' that.
childhood was a complete wave that ebbed and changed. one day my daddy fished with us, the next he threw things at us.

i did not dance until i was 19. i used to play music but the music always moved more than it played.
