Jul 2011 Yes, This Is Still Happening
It's been quite a while since I have written here. I can't say that the whole time I've been extraordinarily busy. I haven't until recently. In April I started working at Saint Joseph's again, my old job before I left for my trip. All the old faces and a few new ones. It feels great to be back here and working. I have a lot of plans in the next several years and SJU definitely fits into them.
I've also acquired a new camera, a Canon 5d Mark ii. I love it. The feeling of having a camera again has lifted so much weight off my shoulders. Being able to have that outlet again is such a necessity in my life. I don't know how I was dealing without it for so long.
The documentary is still going. It's very slow at this point, but the updates I have in the next few months will be big. I'm still working on the soundtrack here and there, as well as getting down on paper all my thoughts about experiences that weren't on the site. I expect this whole project to be over in November of 2013. My plan is to have a live performance, a 30-40 minute documentary, and an interactive journal to tie everything together. It so much planning I don't want to think about it. I just have to break it up into pieces and tackle them one at a time. It will get done though, it has to.
Until then, I post things regularly on my other site, www.gidfoto.com, a small blog dedicated to my photos and little videos here and there.
I'm back in Philadelphia now, the Italian Market area. Being back in the city and my own place again makes me feel a lot stronger since the limbo I've had without a place for so long, about 20 months. Thanks again for everyone that continues to check this site out. I still can't believe everyone that has read it, thank you again so much! Take care.

Jan 2011 Writing writing writing
In the mist of all this thinking and loss of sleep over this project I've started writing. God help us all, I'm terrible. Philly has been hit with one of the worst snow totals and horrible weather ever this winter. In the coming weeks I'll be going to Tampa, into some sunshine and out of the snow. I'll have a chance to write, work, and catch up with old friends, as well as get in shape for the summer ahead. Thanks again to everyone that still takes the time to look every once in a while! Here's a piece from what I've been scribbling down.
"Even after what little time I spent walking and pretending like I was about to conquer the world all I had in my head were romantic montages of me with a big fucking smile crossing the US. In reality, my whole life is one big romantic fucking montage never thinking clearly and having grandiose visions of my wildest dreams coming true. I pictured myself just like Frank Moody, a fictional sex driven drunk played by a real sex driven drunk whose only way out is to play a fictional sex driven drunk on cable. I see the start and finish of everything I want to accomplish and never see the middle, the actual journey. No one thought I would actually start this, let alone finish, not even me. I realistically envisioned me giving it the old college try, which meant me not reading, missing class, and having my college sweetheart bang everyone around me but me. Everything is for the best though, she was a terrible lay."
Thanks and take care!

Dec 2010 Thoughts On The Future
Tune of the Day: Jukebox The Ghost -Schizoprena
How would you think of the States after seeing all cultures in between the coasts? How you view the world after seeing all of the cultures you've never seen? What sort of connections could you make with yourself and someone half across the globe? I aim to find out.
There have been many ideas and thoughts running through my mind since I've been back. In many ways Philly is just as I left it. In other ways I feel more disconnected and rejected as ever. After thinking over the things I expierenced on my trip I still want to find out more about people, their habits, traditions, and what ties all of us as a species together. What ties people in each of their countries together?
Lots of thoughts, lots of planning, very motivated. Take Care
