A Life Recorded

One of my favourite websites is www.onefloorup.com. It's basically a collection of good ideas. I visited it today and through it I found out about a guy named Jonathan Harris. He's a really cool guy. Do a search on him.

This is the video that I watched of his. It really intrigued me. I'd watch if I were you, maybe, depending on who you are. I really liked it. It's rather long. (20min approx.)

I think what I would like to do, after I've run out of paper in my journal and after I finish my current sketchbook, I would like to merge those two things together into one. Maybe this blog too, by using the print screen button of mine, y'know. And then I would literally print it off and pasting it into my sketchbook.

I imagine this merging to take shape into some kind of huge book, always with me. That idea really fascinates me. Like a really big sketchbook filled with feeling and expression. A life recorded through writings and drawings. Something someone can look through and get a really good glimpse of who I am. See my personality on paper. It would be the kind of thing to look through to find an honest testimony to the way I've lived after I die. (Hopefully not anytime soon!)
