I'm having a "I want everything" moment

Here is a list of all the things I would love to have, right now, most of which is Louis Vuitton unless otherwise noted:

Taiga Stanislav - $1720 (carry duffel)
Taiga Igor - $1640 (casual briefcase)
Utah Kiowa Tote - $1940 (lovely tote)
Taiga Portefeuille Accordeon - $650 (wallet on chain)
Damier Macao Pochette - $505 (basically a wristlet ;)

That is all (for now!) hahaaaa

this or that?

Louis Vuitton Epi Compact Wallet OR Bottega Veneta Men's Zip Billfold?
Louis Vuitton Epi Sac Bourget 50 OR Louis Vuitton Taiga Igor?
Hermes cashmere scarf OR Hermes Kelly bracelet?

?>>?>???>>>???

so many choices

Sarasota County Fire Department

As a resident of Sarasota County, I am protected by the Sarasota County Fire Department, Station 4, which is on Old Bradenton Road, about a mile or so south of New College and my house. Engine 4 is a 2006 E-One Typhoon, one of 3 delivered the the department that year (others at E1 and E3)...and Rescue 4 is a 2006 Sterling Acterra/MedicMaster ambulance. Both are pretty impressive. I am from Tampa, and Tampa is exclusively Pierce vehicles...it's nice to see a change of makes and models here and there ;)

Anyway, I just think its interesting to think about the number of times (and the variety of incidents) I see E4 or R4 screaming their way towards. For example,

a couple of weeks ago - car vs. moped, woman severely injured, possible fatality, but i think she was ok, US41 & 47th street
last tuesday - car wreck, very minor, University Pkwy & US41, just south of school
last thursday - automatic fire alarm in 'Z' dorm at school
tonight - 'structure fire' that turned out to be men working on the roof of the dining hall at school

anyway, I just wait for the day that something happens on my street...once in a while I can hear them going up or down US41, but mainly i just happen upon them by luck ;)

that is all

fucking men

why do i fall for the straight ones? it's such a problem, because i see this image of easy, no-drama love, and it seems so much more appealing than bitchy horrible gays who just play endless games.

plus i fall hard and i fall fast, which is really problematic.

boo

i am me and have only ever been me

I believe this isn't something that others can understand, because by nature it is unique to me, but I will do my best to describe it accurately -

I was born into this body/this mind, and I live my life behind these eyes, with this body. I was nothing before this, and seemingly nothing after, but I exist in life, with friends, with family, with history and future, interests and ambitions, but when it comes down to it, the entire world on which I walk and breathe and live is centric to me (seemingly), because I am existing only behind these eyes and this body.

This is so weird to explain, but sometimes i get this really odd feeling of alone-ness, or like nothing that I do matters. But most of the time I live life normally, without this odd feeling...I was just thinking about it...

damier uzes

I am a complete bag freak. I love designers, I love the details, I love soft, buttery leathers, and utilitarian toiles and nylons. For me, it's the whole effect, not just one aspect or another. The lining of a bag should be just as interesting as the outside of a bag...or at least fit in with the overall design scheme. And it should never look cheap. But besides that... I am a big Louis Vuitton fan. Not in the traditional sense...I own only one small accessory that is monogram canvas (brown with yellow Ls and Vs), and I rarely fawn over the typical and boring (read: speedy). But Louis Vuitton regularly releases bags that are so delicately precise in their decor...its quite amazing. Hermès makes beautiful things with simple leathers and skins, and by-hand (read: time-consuming) construction techniques, but there is a place and a time for H, as there is a place and a time for LV. I tend to like LV, just because Marc Jacobs throws everyone for a loop every season...there is always something new and different. (But at what cost to the brand image? We'll find out sooner or later). For the moment, his stuff is pretty brilliant, and it sells, and I like most of it (although a gent named Paul Helbers does the menswear).

My current obsession is the damier canvas uzes tote:


I used to feel really girly with totes, but lately they are the easiest bags to just throw all my crap in, and cart to class...much easier than messing with zippers and backpacks...plus all my other bags are pretty form over function (read: too small).

Anyway, I like this one a lot. I think it goes for $1500...maybe more. I can't seem to find it on vuitton.com or eluxury.com, but I know it's out there!

I also like the Altona PM, as a briefcase...it would be sorta fun to have for class...maybe a little dressy, but still fun. Not too dressy, since it's checkered...
