We are a group of artists, dreamers, inventors, makers, and craftspeople looking to build a shared space to work and collaborate. We are Al3ph. Dedicated to social change, rooted in the community, and inspired by the grandiose, our collective dream is one of shared knowledge and building with our hands. Humans ultimately are what they make; it is the essence of our being from the early days of modest stone axes to the glistening craft of the space age. Without this, and without our fellows, we are lost, for it is this drive to create that gives us our animus.”

Life is merely a series of unfortunate events. We learn to lose, to gain, to play with the cards we were dealt. to reiterate, it is simply how we gracefully dodge the bullets that may be aimed at us or fall as lightly as possible to the ground from towering heights. 

There is no constant happy state. There is no nirvana. There is only risk and one must take it. The world revolves on those who have dreams and will stop at nothing to listen to the nay-sayers and prove them fickle.  It is my time to assume my role in my dream.

I’ve never been more certain that the automobile is my servant. i will be the master of this machine.  I want to be at the cutting edge of new breakthroughs of human movement. I want to be a creator of adrenaline in the human race.  I want to be standing at the line of progress and impossible.  I want to fully enrich myself in the exhaust fumes of the future.

Sometimes, one must take the detours to really find out where he’s going.  After all, life is merely an endurance race. I need to stop playing gran turismo 5.

I tried to give up smoking a week ago and so far I would say I’m 9 days in with one day of extreme cheating that left me sick for a whole work day.  I came home from work, slept and woke up feeling like shit still but the feverish hot sweats and cold shakes are gone. I feel like wolverine.  

This time it’s foserious. Although I dont like the everlasting loogey I feel in my throat, eventually it will go away. And I’ll be able to work to my full potential. It’s these pivotal changes I must make to be successful in whatever I choose to do. 

on another note, I am going to tx to meet up with my brother, another tempting and dangerous endeavor cuz that kid rips butts like a chimney.

a degenerate, waste of life. no one is honest enough with me to tell me such things. well i am either a waste of a vessel or wasting a vessel. today is the first day of the rest of my life. bad habits need not apply. 2/14/2012

What a great way to start the new year.

things to do, pull the plunge.

save money $145/wk.

Honda rebel.

Gmat’s!!

I need to free myself by paying to live in a prison. paradoxical?  I will never be successful doing what I am doing now.  I need to fly like a baby sparrow being pushed from a tree.  fly or die.  the hustle continues. like the flying toaster im the kettle without a cause.

I’m sitting at the airport trying my hardest to contain the exhaustion Vegas has created. I cant say too proudly that this time was my time to shine. In a place where luxury is ruled by even more luxury, I see myself as a minnow, maybe even phyto plankton in a world run by sharks and whales.  I can proudly say I did not make any business deals even though the money i lost to the casino might have even got me started on just one.  The people I did meet were instrumental in solidifying my choice to fully pursue a career in the automotive industry.  Even after much advice dispensed to me prior to my eventful downfall, I have made a decision to destroy any signs of bad behavior and pursue indefinitely a passionate occupation in the automotive aftermarket.  I can say for certain that it is too late for me to be a prized member of any OEM manufacturer and maybe it’s even too late for me to pursue what I’ve chosen now but the world is an oyster and i will make it my oyster. I’ve managed to work barely passing every bar i’ve been forced to deal with and it is only logical that I attack every problem swiftly and without delay. I can no longer be a slave to time and from this day forward, time must only be a guide for the betterment of my life.

I’m a sucker for nice things. I spent so much money I didn’t even realize the extent of my spending. Now i have to work my fucking dick off to pay off this vacation.
