That sounds delicious.<\/p>\n<p>I went to a Chris Johansen lecture this week at cca. I am findng many of<br \/>\nthe thing he said is having lasting effects on me. So yes, it was a good<br \/>\nlecture, despite despite despite, and there were so many despites in<br \/>\nthis lecture. But chris was so refreshing. He made me feel like my goals<br \/>\nare attainable. he made me feel like a peer, and not like this art world<br \/>\nthing is so separate from me. He reminded me that life is about fun and<br \/>\nthat being nice is always the best policy. And as artists, we get to<br \/>\nmake our own rules. Which is such an awesome concept to me, on so many<br \/>\nlevels, coming from corporate america where there are constantly rules<br \/>\nand expectations. The art world has these limitations too, but they are<br \/>\nmaybe easier to break through. Chris was also born in san jose like me,<br \/>\nand was born two years before me. He lived in san francisco in his 20s<br \/>\nand lives in portland now. He talked about mellowing with age and<br \/>\ngetting used to new stages in life and that made me feel that even<br \/>\nthough I feel isolated from my old friends at times, I am part of a<br \/>\nlarger organism and that as I go through life, I will encounter people<br \/>\nwith similar experiences and values as me, and how fun it is to meet new<br \/>\nfriends. Anyway, I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m making much sense, babbling away on<br \/>\nmy tiny sidekick. So I will leave you for now.
