Tattoozapalooza.

Hey.

It's Sunday night, I just ate some Bagel Bites. They were great. Reminded me of when Drew (my brother) and I would get stoked about eating bagel bites and watching some awesome kid movie. Man those were great times...

This past weekend I traveled to Raleighwood North Carolina and saw many many friends. It makes me miss them more, but I'm blessed to have had the little time I did to see them. They are awesome!

I also got to see my FAMILY! This made me super happy because everyone but the dog and kitchen sink came to see me!!! I got to eat lunch and just hang out with them for a short bit at the Meredith Soccer Game. GO ANGELS! We won, by the way... Haha.

First night I got to spend the night with my roomie, Katie the cutie. We didn't get to hang out as much as I wanted to but Katie, Amy, Anne and I went to our fav. Chinese food place and that was super. Later that night I went to some art galleries with my friend Heather... we had an interesting time... too much to write to describe that time we had! Then the next night I got to spend the night at one of my BFF's apartment, Lo! Lauren to most people, but Lo to me.
We had an interesting morning, which consited of a lot of laughter and random times... too much to write right now haha because the three hour drive has left me super tired.

I got a tattoo this past thursday.

Cheers,
SykesKid.

History, My Favourite Class So Far This Semester...

So... I never thought I would actually write, type, or say those words; the words that I have chosen to use as my title to this post.

I'm sitting on the couch with the T.V. providing me with wonderful background noise. I'm reminded of my times in Ireland because of the background of my computer is the lovely Orchard House. I'm super stoked because our reunion is this month! I haven't seen any of my friends from Ireland for a little under FIVE MONTHS. I can't believe it has been that long. It's crazy!!!

Design Technology:

This is what I will be working on tonight.
Using handcrafted things and mixing that with using technology.

I must go now.
have a lovely evening.

PS: this day marks a special day.

xoxo sykeskid. DUH.

FLANEUR.

For my Imaging I class we had to walk around the city of Richmond and take pictures, pictures of things that interested us... people, places, objects, just whatever... I tend to find myself looking for the shapes in what I see... I love the sharp lines of buildings, and the close up textures of what things are made of... I also enjoy capturing the things that you see only if you look super close... Here are some of the photos that I ended up enjoying the most:

Monday Monday!

So it's Monday night and I'm just back to blogging a little bit... last night was really nice. I had time to relax and just think about life.

I got to talk to most of my family, not my dad, but I hope I'll get a chance to at some point.

Being back in Richmond begins the excitement and anxiety of starting classes. I'm super stoked to start designing and stuff, but I'm just anxious to meet people. It will be nice to have some school friends :)

Biking, is so fun here. There are so many people on bikes and it's just nice to see that... I do drive a jeep but I ride my bike more often than drive my jeep, at least when I'm here in the city. Tomorrow I'm hoping to head to "Short Pump" or whatever it is... check out the Urban Outfitters, to see how it rivals that of Raleigh/Durham and NYC... I'm not sure if many can rival those of NYC but we shall see haha.

I'm in the process of getting together ideas to have a benefit concert and I'm hoping to get in touch with Jamie from TWLOHA.com... the non profit organization that has just taken my heart these days.

here is a random picture:
