Woke up and took my cat to the vet. She's had a bad ear infection forever and I finally took her in to get her checked out. Watching the vet try not to gag was embarrassing enough, but after six extremely dirty q-tips, some ear pads, and a oral vaccination, my cat is one the way to a better, cleaner feline lifestyle.

Made my way out to GVSU today with my good friend Chad. We walked around campus, went into our halls and classrooms, book shopped, and ate at the newest addition to the Grand Valley acreage, the Connection, which features a beautifully new cafe that pays homage to all things organic and local in Grand Rapids. The salad I created was probably the healthiest food item I've consumed in awhile.
Checked out my good friends Silvia, Dan, & Steve's new house tonight. It's a beautiful home. Huge. Fit for them perfectly. Steve, Dan, & Silvia own Fuse Pictures, a production company that has been truly up and coming in the spotlights of creative talent around Michigan. They're gonna go miles with their three heads together, and the work I've done with them thus far has been rewarding (In 2009 we shot a documentary over a 3 month period). I'll be visiting this house frequently.
Finally, me and my friend Chad met up again and took the drive out to Grand Haven. I've been wanting to go to the beach when its dark this entire summer, but much to my vain hope, I've failed. An unkind troll of a lady told us we couldn't be on the beach, so we left and went to my favorite beach spot in Michigan (at least that I've discovered). We were the only ones on the entire beach (it's private), and we sat on swings and just talked about life. I love swinging on the swings, achieving incredible height, and never looking down, but always looking up. The stars were anything but shy tonight, and looking straight up while you are thrusting forward on a swing upward, defying Newton's laws, all while imagining you're careening upward into the starry subspace. It kept giving me goosebumps... I made it so real. Getting to the top of the swing, looking up into a black celestial abyss and just wanting to let go and fly. (Yes, I do this every time I'm at this beach.... the swings are about 40 feet from the water, so the sounds and smell intensify the chimera). This was by far the most beautiful sight of my summer. After walking along the wet sand, we chatted and left, only to become very lost in the suburbs of Muskegon, but much to our avail, we were able to financially attack some fast food chains, and start a "fast food hop".
Today, tonight, and me are happy. Goodnight world. You are a beautiful province.
