new new new..........
the kevateria gets restless. a couple weeks ago the kevateria made a not quite up to par meal for a friend and feels bad about it and has not attempted anything spectacular (as all shared meals are bound to be) for a while now. as we work that out let's consider what all has happened since the last post.

for starters, the kevateria took a trip. you may all find the blog that deals with that trip at the link in the previous post.....please refer. so i went to germany and learned among many things that i don't know as much german as i thought i did. also had the pleasure to become intermingled in a handful of wonderful lives, people who know at least three or four languages and have travelled far more than this blog's comparatively static hero (but who's comparing) and had the pleasure of making a few meals to share with amazingly generous hosts, some of whom were even patient enough to allow us to practice our own meandering german. i have inclinations that i learned something about another culture, heard interesting thoughts and comments on nationalism and anarchism alike, more frightening with regards to the former.......i would like to believe, too, that i learned about patience and observation, human beings in general and what it is to have to rebuild. reinforced during these travels was the current trend that this world is not so big as i thought it could be, though certainly there is the potential i believe now that that potential does not reside with borders and nations, our gaps traverse thought process, culture and understanding (or viewpoint). shoving the television so far in our brains (read: daily life) we leave little room for the purely rational thought necessary to begin any friendship....the recognition that she/he, too, is human and could easily have thoughts of her/his own.......certainly not everyone could fit the stereotypes we see on the tele no matter how closely they appear to fit it on first glance (i suppose since fewer people read these days it's tough to use the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover")

and to continue.....i am back at work. i think i'm enjoying having a trade, especially one that is so flexible that i can leave for a month come home and immediately get a call for work....i know for a while i was questioning what i was "doing with my life." but reasuringly enough, today as a matter of fact someone i work with who is usually my boss (about 15 years my senior) mentioned that he is attempting to piece together the next phase of his life, saying he is trying to put together a reel and might be trying for more shooting jobs and less rigging gaffer jobs.....interesting...this provokes the thought processi

and this coming weekend i'm very excited to be helping the courtlandt community gardens rebuild their treehouse. a community garden that i volunteer at, to bring you up to speed, courtlandt community garden is run in part by the MORE Gardens Coalition and i haven't been able to volunteer recently and will certainly be looking forward to getting down and dirty building a treehouse in the south bronx to the benefit of the neighborhood kids, that they can have some added activities during the summer time. maybe i'll actually put batteries in my camera and take a picture, what do ya think of that...........
