What’s a Hipster?

So he spoke about that. Someone else said no. Are you in? Does anyone really know? Or care.

If we’re talking mainstream where are the boundaries? 

Outside it’s the hipsters. The look is cool. Varied. Beyond the norm.

Perhaps.
They stand out.

Scream for attention.

Anything for attention. Maybe not necessarily for their own.

Heard in class today the phrase conspicuous consumption.

Nothing is wrong. Everything is right.

Depending where you look.

Again I ask, what exactly is a hipster?

Get Noticed

Lights, bright clothing - be seen out there - especially with the time change. Ride safe and have fun!

What to Do

When all around you seems in disrepair. What do you do?
Yesterday, emotions surfaced in tears. I felt angry, sad, betrayed and lost. So I said to myself – what would dad do?
I knew what he’d do. He wouldn’t give up.

So today I grew back that word “acceptance.”
It’s the way things are. They way they should be. Like what dear Uncle Len always says.

“Everything happens exactly the way it should.”
Last night I turned the music up really loud. I danced around in my small space on my boat. I ate. I did laundry. I shouted. And I cried.

I feel so much better today.

To accept what is fully.
It’s what you have to do.

N.B. I’ve spent the last eight years living on my boat. Recently I moved to Vancouver to go to school. There is VERY limited space for allowable “liveaboard” moorage.

I spend 21 days anchored out in False Creek (maximum allowable within 40 days), then pay a fortune for temporary transit moorage for 19 days.

Yesterday I was denied “temporary” winter moorage because I’m a “liveaboard.”

Illustrator Baby Steps

Super enjoying learning Illustrator. Here's my first go at a design for a lamp post banner for Bowen Island. Our first mid-term project which was due today (I got four hours sleep last night).

Lots of learning and room for improvements! 

Kudos to our awesome teacher, Shane who answered my questions after class today.

Looking forward to Take Two!!
