...pottery and wheel throwing...

Did you know that the term "throwing clay" comes from a word that actually means the wheel is TURNING but was translated into English as "throwing"...weird how off that term is now that I say.."I throw clay". Well below are a few pictures from my Wheel Throwing class...

...fsu's the reservation...

I took my first step into The Reservation today....my roommate and I had a great time. We took the kayak's out and rode across the lake and then hung out in the swimming area of the lake for a little bit. They have a climbing wall that's free for FSU students that I'll definitely be taking advantage of soon!!! Enjoy the pictures!!!

...life inside the jar...

...do you ever sit in a room, a room filled with people and the voices go silent? the crowds are there but the noise disappears?...life sometimes gives you way too much and the quietest place is inside the jar...it's easy, it's mellow and the world can no longer do anything but sit and pass you by as the jar has walls of glass ...

...index cards are so small...

Do you realize how small an index card is? If a baby were able to write, it'd be a normal sized piece of paper for a baby to write on. That surely is small!! I just realized that my entire life, in pictures and documents that is, now fits on something that is as small as an index card. I have just copied all of my valuable pictures which took hours upon hours to create, and with a few clicks of the mouse, they now sit inside a tiny black box. Maybe there is something to the "tiny black book " thing huh? Except for me, it's a "tiny black box"...it stores all memories, happy and sad, things I want to keep private or things I share with the world. They all sit in this box and I can carry it around with me anywhere, in my back pocket. The moment I decide to open up, I just plug it in and locate the file, and voila, a photograph appears...like the one of the hat here, it comes from that "little black box".
