curious emporium @ arts district.

so yesterday i wrote about how i visited the oklahoma city paseo arts district. well, i was so captivated by the place i had to take pictures. these are the results of my journey down 23rd street:

  
 ^ this is what the entrance looks like when you first enter craig's curious emporium. it is chockful of crazy & wacky items which would explain their high-dollar prices. another cool thing is that a lot of the art is locally made. SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS! :)


another interesting part of the store was that even though it was local, there were many different cultures represented inside. from african to egyptian and even wiccan (which is hard to find in a "conservative" state) was all there. i have to go back for the scented oils and tarot cards!


the colors of this shelf were AMAZING! i am a big fan of incense so this was like heaven to me. they had some strange scents like "unicorn tears" and "witches brew". selling point: 25 cents for each stick! yay.

-------------------------------------------------------------

when my aunt finally pulled me out of the emporium we made our way to one of at least 10 galleries. i can't remember the name, but we did stop and look inside the windows (it was closed) and saw some pretty interesting art.

here's the outside statues:



and inside were these cool paintings & statues:




 i wish it had been open so i could have seen more, but now that i know this place exists i will definitely be coming back. they have really good food anyway. i'll start writing about other things tomorrow - still reeling after yesterday as you can tell.

i feel alive. { day one }

living in oklahoma isn't much. yeah, it's a great place to raise a family or to get away from a hectic place like california or new york, but for me its quite boring. until tonight. i was taken to a little slice of heaven named paseo; arts district. to say i was mesmerized by it was an understatement. in all my years of living here, i had never heard of this place & it was AMAZING! the lights and the smells coming from the picasso cafe (where i had the best chicken and mushroom sandwich) was beautiful. there was art and life on that 1/3 mile of street; vendors and wacky shoppes were just the beginning. i couldn't stop taking pictures. it was mind-blowing that places like that existed in such a bible-belt and conservative state. i felt so alive, in a way i had never experienced before. i guess being there just reiterated the idea that i have so much i want to do in life that right now i just haven't. this is the day i change that and begin to experience life.

so, if you're reading this i hope you join me as i make it my mission to experience life whether good or bad comes from it isn't really a factor...it'd just make for a really good story.
