its like this:
i want to tell you it
will all work out
and be ok in the end.
(it really will)
but the truth is,
it is probably not going to look anything
like you think it is going to look like.
he is not going to say the right thing.
they may not fight for you
in the way you think you deserve.
life is unfair
and messy.
fucked up even.
but there is a light.
and it is here,
in the unexpected:
the complete ridiculousness/joy of a child
explaining things.
the way his voice
slips down like a good red
oaky and smooth.
the man with no teeth opening
the door for you at the 7-11 at 2am.
no matter how much good you do
the world owes you no favors.
the magic,
yes i over-use that word
but only because it is the most
important thing….
the magic is what matters.
give it out freely.
give it to people who are sad and cranky.
give it to children in the form of sidewalk chalk
and macaroni necklaces.
dont be a cynic.
i know it makes no sense.
i offer no wisdom.
but the love….
i feel the love.
its all around,
and its all we have.
risk being optimsitic.
risk being you.
i dare you.

Well we all know that Mont Blanc is a manufacturer of pens and other luxury items. They have been at it for awhile, at least 100 hundred year, hence the slogan “100 Years of Soulmaking”. In my opinion that is right on the money. Every watch they make is a piece of art. A stunning piece of art that hangs from your wrist that makes a certain statement. In my cause its “I appreciate beauty, and yes I can afford a 5grand wrist watch.” I mean lets be honest If I just wanted beauty I would go stuhrling or maybe raymond weils. But want that and the sucker punch on top of that.

Life is no more than the repeated fulfilling of a permanent desire.The soul is merely the vestal handmaid whose task is to keep the sacred flame of love burning.

I would agree that sketching ought to be a vital part of any design project, and that it is liberating and effective for getting superior concepts down swiftly on paper. I find it precious for my design practice and always support other designers to get excellent sketchbooks and pencils, so they can construct drawing an integral part of their own design processes. Thanks a lot.
