I think I am, therfore, I am. I think.
I was listening to a podcast with designer Massimo Vignelli. He said the most interesting thing. He said when you are designing, always look at the essence of things, not at their appearance. Appearance is something that wanes, it’s like fashion. What on earth is he talking about? I am trying to make sense of it.
It certainly amazes me how many ways of being contacted we have.

citizenjoe has been around for quite a long time and when I say he has been around, I mean he has been around. He likes writing and enjoys hanging out with this motley bunch of characters.
Lionel Gherkin is a sad sack with good reason, the poor bastard. You can read why in Rhumbaland. Often described as a love story gone terribly wrong. But then that's been Lionel's life to date.
Along for the ride is Shelby Wright. Shelby is ahighly respected and well-to-do-man-about-town. He is the group's cultural attache; its conscience but not really its heart.
And let's not forget Brenda Spoon. The lovely of the group. She a humourous bone that'll grab you like a meat hook and then tenderise like a piece of steak. People tell me she's hilarious; and who knows, one day I may even laugh at them.
