Another Layer

I have come to the realization that I cannot move out of the void until my lease runs out. This is hard, but giving my landlords an extra $800 for breaking my lease would be much harder. This means I have some very long rides ahead of me during this next three months, but it also means I will have more time to think as I ride the long (and most probably wet), road home.

I have also decided, with the help of some close personal friends, to hand out balls on the street with a piece of paper with my email address on it and a question about fear and desire, so it is their option to contact me in order to have a conversation.

I will also be adding another layer to my project; in addition to giving out balls with "invitations" to strangers, I will give balls to people I know each week and have a (hopefully) deeper conversation with them about fear and desire. With this added layer I am hoping to contrast the levels of intimacy between friends and strangers, and maybe uncover more about the people I am close to and therefor, more about myself.

I have planned to start making balls in October, so I will have a solid three months to make all of the balls I will need, which is turning out to be roughly fifty more than I thought, or, 400 balls.

I am feeling less and less like this might suck and more and more like this is heavy metal.
