After a hot shower, tons of packing, and some cleaning, I'm finally beginning to get the very good feeling for the summer. I'm on a plane. I can't complain. As the stress recedes and the spirit begins to flow unbounded. I'm headed to California people! Land of opportunity and relaxation.

As a parting gift, here's a thought fragment I found on the ground while cleaning my room. It's dated 5/20/03:

Institutionalized power structures (e.g. "the industry" or "the establishment") serve to maintain themselves by perverting the destiny of the ambitious.

Which is odd, because though I forgot about what was written on the note completely until I found it just today, that general theme has been running through my mind for weeks and week; the link between entrepreneurialism, instigation, generosity and ambition; how to be ambitious and still be generous. The note is nearly a perfect encapsulation. So I have some brains after all. Ha!

I'll be back soon New York. Start some shit in my absence! It's always good to come home to excitement. I love you.
