This new wedding project I’m working on is going to be a good one! The bride Nicole is awesome and is letting me go wild with her ideas. Did you know I know how to print on hard clear plastic? News to me too!!
Piel Script and Gotham? Haberkern is good at her job and makes me wanna do wedding merch too!
Dearest Habernackery,
When/if you get here, NEVER refer to us as “the Caymans”. We Caymanians shall cut you with the evilest of evil eyes and even I shall demote your status from “Tumblrmigo” to “lowly tourist”. We are ALWAYS to be referred to as “Cayman” or “the Cayman Islands”. Also, be sure to emphasise the “man” (i.e. SuperMAN, BatMAN, CayMAN). There’s little we hate more than hearing “Caymun”.
I’ll be here to do whatever it takes to get you acquainted with our Caymanianisms and customs. You know, teaching you all about how to wear your grass skirt and coconut bra or how to spear your own fish.
Love,
Paul :)
P.S. George Town the capital of Cayman, Georgetown is the capital of Guyana.
My new computer (well, it’s new to me) is getting the HOOK-UP today. Pretty excited to be able to be not held back by my dinosaur mac anymore, and get to do actual design work at home.
I remember when the G5 first came out and I nearly lost my mind. No joke, I’d still go bananas for one (even though I’ve been pretty reliant on the power of my Intel processors).
The fact that you “need” to know this information sounds a little startling, but ok… I’ll kind of answer you.
My thoughts on the subject have been the same for 3 1/2 years now: I’m not looking for anything in my life other than to have a happy heart and a happy mind; that is where I’ll find my fulfillment. But to make one thing clear; when it comes to money, status, etc: I grew up with a mother who when I said “One day I want to marry a doctor”, she said, “No Christina, you can BE the doctor” (well then I went to art school, but you get my point).
I was with someone when I was young who got out of bed every day and hated what they did for a living, but chose the career because of financial reasons. After it ended, I promised myself I would never attach myself to someone who didn’t spend every day moving forward in the direction of their passion or trying to find what makes them happy. I wouldn’t care if the person I was with picked up trash for a living, if they did it because they were genuinely happy, that’s the most attractive quality a person could have.
I may not have much in my bank account, but I know I go to work everyday happy with what I do and work very hard for the old car, small apartment, etc. I go to sleep at night knowing I’m where I belong and that’s better than the personal prison that would be otherwise. I’d just want the same in a partner. So dude or girl; if anyone who treats you like you don’t have enough money, power, etc is just simply not worth your time! (hard to say in this city of mass wannabes and gold-diggers, I know)
(hyper sentimental, emotional response to an anonymous box question submission… get me now while I’m happily reflecting on my life, haha)
So I actually sorta LOVE this. It’s been my personal manifesto, of sorts, for myself for a couple years now and I love it. Good on ya, Haberdashery. Good on ya :)
In addition to this week’s episode of Dollhouse being herculean, you’ll never guess what I spotted. A little fruit of the labour of Tumblr’s own Christina Haberkern! I’d know a Haberkern Beer anywhere!
Aw hell. I’ve become “that guy”. You know, the one who has a signature pose for photos and ends up looking the same in all of them (á la Christina Haberkern)? I’m taking a hat sabbatical… no I’m not. I’m just not allowed to touch them in photos anymore.
P.S. Hahahaha. Called you out, Haberkern!
Found my engagement ring!
But seriously though, I should be rocking one of these off my pinky.
Dear Christina Haberkern,
How much are these? Do you think it’s cheap enough that you can buy one and send it to me in Toronto and I reimburse you, from what little I can afford in my student poverty, via Paypal?
Love,
Paul
New Project: Making my phone contacts scan themselves and send me the photo for my phone directory. First one: Roxy… haha we are losing our minds in the office.
*plagiarises*
Currently, there are three things I need to feel like a complete person:
- An iPhone
- A pet octopus
- A t-rex skull in my living room.
Fin.
Tumblr, I present to you: My future wife. I’ve just created a tag for “Haberkernery” because there’s just so much awesome she keeps providing my dashboard with.
