Seattle and New Personal Project

I would just like to briefly talk about the Seahawks going to the Superbowl. First of all, living in Seattle while the Seahawks are having this amazing season is such a blessing. To see a city come together under the pride of football. And even though football is super diluted nowadays from advertising it still can get entire cities together to cheer and yell and scream at the top of their lungs in love and excitement.

Another dimension for this to me is my grandma. I know it sounds super cheesy and dumb but I don't care. This year my grandma will be turning 93 and was born in Seattle. Ever since that team started she has been a fan and the Seahawks have never won a Superbowl in all this time. I just want them to win one Superbowl before she dies. That sounds morbid, but seriously, I really just want the Seahawks to win for her. I will definitely be tuning in for the game and screaming and gasping along with this city.

And now onto this "personal project." I have decided to start my very own yearbook for 2014. It consists of me carrying around a cheap little disposable camera whenever I go out and semi-documenting my adventures of the year. Then pasting them in sketch book (I prefer their thick construction like paper as opposed to a standard scrapbook) and writing little descriptions about said adventures and filling in the empty spaces with some of my creative sketches (to help along with my new years resolution to learn how to draw). I am so so excited to get into this project, I have already used up a camera and a half for this past weekend, and I shall also be scanning and posting a few of my photos.

I thought this up myself though I am sure its been done in the past. The idea of using a disposable camera has to do with not being too worried about the picture, nowadays with all things digital we all need to see the picture after it is taken and make sure we all look good, but without that ability, everything is candid and my hypothesis is that more pictures will turn out. Also there is a sense of excitement with getting the film developed and seeing how everything turned out. I shall update you all as the project develops.

ALSO, I don't know if I have mentioned this yet, but Taylor and I officially have Fall Out Boy/Paramore MonumenTour Tickets for Nor Cal in August. We are making a trip down for the weekend and I am so psyched for it. Possibly seeing New Politics/Magic Man at Neumos in February, a few of their songs below :)

New Politics - Harlem

New Politics - Tonight You're Perfect

Magic Man - Paris

Hope you enjoyed the post and the music :) Have a wonderful rest of the week!
