my room and these eyes

  
i've moved about 20 times in my life. this room now is my favourite. it's the first time ive committed to a place. we live to move. we keep things packed. we dont have much furniture. 
  

     

i'm old enough now though. i can afford to buy things. lift the big pieces of wood of the flat packed book shelf from officeworks all by myself. i can be specific.

  

the only constant is change
proverb
if you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
Mary Engelbreit
with these things there's no telling
we'll just have to wait and see
but I'd rather be working for a paycheck
than waiting to win the lottery
bright eyes    
  

     

i try not to put things on walls. but... the walls part is hard. i think i start with the walls. and i've been wrong many times. this time i've left the walls last.

    

and so it begins...

hello. im deo. i'm an avid blogger but have recently been distracted by the anguish and enthusiasm of post adolescent life. 

now i've sobered up a bit i'd like to look back and look forward at what's been going on and what may be and what are because i think it's been pretty cool. 

i just graduated from a bfa in photomedia. in my last year they made us make a power point of our influences. i thought i should start from stuff from that.
