空の色が黒くなってくるとさ、なんだか私か悲しい気持ちなる．．．どうして？

projects

currently knitting (finished)

I have everything that would tend to make life well. But still at night when I lay in bed. My mind wanders off across the continent over the Atlantic to the hills of (Mayo). In spite of all I can never forget home, as any Irishman in a foreign land can not forget the land he was raised in.

i've started work on what will eventually become a small 3 piece collection for my school's fashion show in april.
my concept for the show is branching off from a current project about the idea of "sustainability" not in the environmental sense of the work rather just the idea of sustaining something. in my previous design project i worked with the culture clash in terms of apparel at the start of the meiji period in japan.

following in that vein for sustainability i'm focusing on my attempts at sustaining my identity as an irish person in spite of various other cultural influences on my life.

i'm working on a mash up of old irish men, art from punjab, and japanese street style. looking at the effects living in japan has had on me and sikhi and everything.

the last time i was in ireland was summer 2009, this summer i'll be in japan (probably).

time away from ireland has made me certain of one thing though, home is home and home is up on top of the hill in county mayo. and even if i go home in clothes from japanese thrift stores, with a dastar on my head 3 years from now, home will be home, and i am irish.

um, yeah, i model for liver diet

took a bunch o pictures for the Liver Diet store opening on monday . Be there (liverdiet.us) or be square!

p.S.

i told my mom she ate all my gelato (she did), and then she came out and gave me this jar of frosting, then offered me a spoon.
uh, thanks mom?

possiprobably important

(mom came into my room while i was asleep on the floor)
mom: are you asleep?
me: i'm brainstorming

oh hey

i'm really tired right now, but everything is really great, and i'm happy and the sun is shining (not, it's nighttime)
but no sarcasm intented, everything is great. school is great, my friends are great, everything is good.
久しぶりね、最近私はすごい疲れた、けど、本当に幸せだよ
学校が楽しい、友達は元気、家族も。マリアンは幸せよ

i'm making a jacket in school right now. inspired by a pammi bai video (jatt punjabi to be specific) 今学校でジャケットを作ってる、ゆかたも作ってる、作り終わったら写真をアップすろよ,　ジャケットはちょっと作りにくいけど、楽しいよ、やっぱりパータンを作ることすごい好き。puzzleみたいね

i haven't gone out without a turban in 2 weeks now. over the summer while i was in japan i started to read up on sikhism, just while i was sitting around in my room or something, and recently (maybe a month ago) i started to study it a lot more seriously, and

as of around 3 weeks ago i made the decision to start living a shiki lifestyle/ to convert to sikhism seriously / i don't know how to phrase that. it's been amazing, and the more i read the more helpful it becomes and the more dedicated i'm becoming to this faith/way of

living/everything. reading bani throughout the day makes me feel so much stronger/better/etc. it's amazing. my parents have been making fun of me non s

top for about 2 weeks now, but fuck the haters, i feel great. i just wish i could tie a pagh right, and but my hair is short, and i know a lot of girls don't wear them but idk. i feel stronger.

i've always felt pretty ひとりぽっち (lonely, on my own, solitary, englishbad.) and i feel even

more so now but it doesn't bother me anymore. things are good this is good.

i want to go to one of the two gurdwara's that are kind of close to me but i'm so shy. i don't want to go by myself, but i don't know who to go with. i am so shy whhhhy. wah wah,
