i purchased inspiration today. at barnes and noble. two pieces of it. one for fifteen dollars and another for six. exorbitant prices i'm sure. for a pair of magazines. in my defense, frank had a ten percent discount card. i hate going to magazine racks. because i get to see/read about people doing all these cool and wonderful things-- in the music, athletic, vehicular, lifestyle, hobby, writing, graphic design, photography, computer, everything worlds.



reading a stack of magazines always leaves me with a deflated sinking feeling. because after i've gorged on the ideas of others, i have to leave the world of glossy paper and think about what i can do. in the real world. i want to be one of those people in the magazines. or behind the magazines. heck, i might even be happy selling these magazines and getting invites to special parties and cool events..... the highs and lows of browsing the magazine rack at a major bookstore are indescribable.



normally, i don't buy anything, because i figure that i can just read what i want in the store, with jamba juice in hand. but today, i took the bold step of spending a little over twenty dollars for two magazines (flaunt and big). daring. adventurous. ultimately perhaps a waste of money. but my intentions are good.
