So I have finally mustered up enough content to make a portfolio. It’s not that I didn’t have the pieces, but that I never got around until now to put them in a nice little box with a red bow on top.
Here is it: http://cargocollective.com/TeniolaK
I always need to be making things. It’s a problem. I have a list of ideas and projects that feels like it’s never ending. But at the same time….it’s kind of a great feeling!

Behold the world’s largest paper airplane, part of The Great Paper Airplane Project.
Also see how 20 prominent contemporary artists re-imagined the paper plane.
Although it may seem as though this just a video about the biggest paper airplane, it is actually so much more than that. It reminds all of us that if you have an idea, go for it. Who cares if it’s been done before, do it again but BIGGER. Who cares if other people think it’s stupid, they’re not the ones doing it. And if it does not seem plausible remember, before the first airplane took flight scientists thought it would be thousands of years before man could fly. Do what you want to do and do it without apprehension. Even if it crashes like the paper plane at the end, AT LEAST YOU DID SOMETHING.

I almost never met this woman because I was in such a rush with my life. It was not until my former teacher urged me to slow down, take more classes and reminded me that life is not going anywhere. He told me that life is going to happen whether you want it to or not but slowing down will make sure that when it does, you will be fully ready for it. Well… maybe not in those exact words but that’s what I go from it.
Thank you Dave Koranda for that. Without you, I would not have met Deb Morrison. She is an amazing being and and even more amazing teacher (I say teacher in lieu of professor because these people did more than “profess” educational words, they taught me the skills of life). You know that saying, “Those who can, do and those who can’t, teach” ? FORGET IT. She is the person who can do but is gracious enough to pass it on to those who can’t.
Here’s just a glimpse of her wisdom.

I love people who are straight to the point. Don’t beat around the bush and don’t take the short cuts. Just say what you mean, mean what you say, and be who you are. I guess all that sums up why I LOVE GQ. I read it more than Vogue (gasp!) GQ is a such a straight-to-the-point magazine that tells it like it is and how it should be.
This magazine gives me a new sense of hope in men. For so long I thought they were just mindless creatures that had a hard time putting concepts together, but oh the contrary. Not all men are mindless and have trouble with connections. As for those who do, they have no shame in admitting it, hence GQ. A magazine put together by men -and women- who are smart and intuitive for those who need a little help in the swag** department.

**RARELY do I ever use the word “swag”, but for GQ I will have to make an exception
I’ve been making excuses for too long. Oh I don’t have the time. My computer is too slow. I can’t do it good enough. My ideas are too small. I know that blah blah blah blah blah. After a while that’s what excuses turn into, just a bunch of blahs.
This is not an ode to Summer and new beginnings. This is an ode to NOW and cutting the crap.
