The Community Art Book [11 Jan 2005|01:57am] Well I wasn't going to say anything about this until it was done (and it is so far from being dong that you will forget by then).  I started a community art book.  It is just a cool looking journal with blank, unlined pages.  I basically give it to random people and ask them to fill up a page with whatever they want whether it be a poem/story, a drawing, a collage, or whatever - so long as the page is filled. When it is completed, I plan to publish them on this journal (or perhaps start another journal for them).  You know, like a one a day thing, or something.  Anyway, I got this one picture added to my book today that I just can't hold back because it's so awesome.  So here it is, a sneak peak at the community art book, that will be published on here someday. Click on the picture to get a bigger version. It was drawn by Steve's friend Kristen Ripple.  She borrowed my book for like three days, and ended up drying up my pen and half of another one.  There are so many little pictures in there, I see something new every time I look at it! 7 comments|post comment

A letter to parkway crossing [11 Jan 2005|02:18am]     I was looking through some old emails I had sent, and came across the email to the management of parkway crossings apartment complex.  I thought it was pretty damn funny.  I have edited it slightly, to make it appropriate for a wider audience, and deleted expletives. SUBJECT: Parking at Parkway Dear sir,   I would like to let you know I received a $50 boot while parked in VISITOR parking at your apartment complex.  I have done this many times before without a problem, but now because of *a* new sign measuring roughly 10"x6" at the far end of the parking lot I was faced with this problem as I was trying to leave.  There is no reason for this other than your desire to [expletive deleted] people over and take their money.  I hope word gets out about how you rape people for their money and I hope nobody wants to live there and that you guys go out of business.      Soon.      Serves you right for taking advantage of an already poor student population.    The University parking guy who came out said residents had been notified, yet not a single one of the residents in the apartment I was visiting had heard anything about it.  I'm glad that I could be treated so nicely as a Visitor to your [expletive]hole.  This new policy is really going to start making friends - people will flock to live in a place where they can't have friends come visit!  Im surprised your not charging the people who live there with boots and extra fines - you already have them pinned down under contract!   I have summarized the reasons I would rather live in hell than parkway crossing in this neat, organized, bulleted list:    *management in hell loves it when you bring your friends    *Satan has no use for your money    *the heat of the furnaces of hell pale in comparison to the heat of my rage when I think about parkway crossing    *no byu standards in hell    *health benefits    Please make sure your overlord sees this email.  Im sure he won't bat an eye, as he has already has taken my money. [expletive] you,    Sam Garfield As you can see, I was pretty pissed.  The guy from parkway crossing wrote back, and actually sounded like a cool kid. ( The response... ) 2 comments|post comment
