Looks like I'll be Losing My Job
With itunes, itouches and “i” everything Im in danger of my dj services being replaced by small handheld devices. Who needs a real live DJ that can blend, mix, scratch and play the right song and the right time when they could just hit the shuffle button? New items like the ones below don’t help at all. Both of them are available for around $40. I guess you get what you pay for!

I’m at that day again. The day when I have an itinerary on my phone telling me that I will be jumping on a plane in < 24 hrs and I do not have one thing packed yet. Happens every time.

James Jean - Maze
I found this piece from James Jean in a Giant Magazine Issue I was reading. It reminded me of the innocence we all once carried. The picture shows a young girl watching an even younger boy play with a empty maze. She herself is holding a complete maze behind her. The maze, to me, represents curiosity, risks, and maturity. As she has grown older the obstacles she faces in life slowly trap her. I...
