“Walt Grace’s Submarine Test: The Movie” Teaser Poster. Story by John Mayer. Design by Drew Sykes.

Mayer’s music always inspires design. I created this with the idea of Walt Grace’s story being a movie instead of a song. The song itself has such a powerful story that it could BE a movie.

Maybe it’ll happen one of these days.

Dear John,

You’re a good man with a good heart and I didn’t need your song to tell me that. There’s no way you can be the awful guy the media paints you to be when you write songs like Gravity or Clarity. For every season of my life (since about 12, 2002), your music has had a place for me and listening to it has been like sitting on a couch getting advice from my favorite guy friend (they’re the most honest), but you’re much more profound. It’s been my refuge when I’m angry, and the voice of reason when the right thing is tough to do. We all lose our way sometimes. I would equate it with the “I’d like that” effect you explained so long ago. Sometimes we let the relationship with ourselves or our conscience become this unmaintained yard that’s the eyesore of the neighborhood. It happens to the best of us, but finding our way back as we hack through the mess we’ve created is the healthiest and most honest self reflective experience. It’s probably the most difficult as well. I’m glad you took the time you needed for yourself and I’m sorry about your granuloma. I am so thankful for the gift you’ve been given and your willingness to share it with all of us to serve as that safe space of solace for us.

There have been so many moments in the last 10 years where a lyric has given me that little bit of courage to move forward, or take a risk (like breaking up or falling in love, or say my peace). I listened to you on my way to my high school and college graduations. I listen to Bigger Than My Body before every job interview, and I’ve gotten lots of great life changing jobs in the last 4 years. I listened to Stop This Train when my dad passed on a few years ago. Your music has provided for so much clarity in my life. I’m getting ready to get a “keep me where the light is” tattoo because that Gravity reminds me exactly where I need to be in this world.

I believe I can do whatever I can possibly dream because you have told me in so many ways that I can.

You are amazing. Born and Raised is so honest and hearty. It’s great for the soul. It’s like drinking something warm. I can’t wait to see you play it live. The Civil Wars would complement your music well on tour (just a suggestion).

Thank you for always being there for me.

Much Love,

Ivana

P.S.: I’d love to know if Walt Grace lived. He did in my head. Also, I’m very glad you added at least one song with wedding potential the Born and Raised. I’d like your music to be present on that occasion as well ;)

I only hope to be as accomplished, dedicated, and poised as Derek Jeter in my very own career in Higher Education. His professionalism is always an example I have looked to since my early high school days. Playing for the Yankees is a sacred job for Derek Jeter, but at the end of the day he knows that the team’s success always comes before his own.

Student Affairs a sacred career for me also because the student’s needs will always come before myself. It is sacred work says Dr. Larry Roper, because we’re the ones who care the most.

Jeter wears the #2 because the team is number 1. I feel just the same.

Congrats on breaking the 3,000 hit career milestone Jeter!

DAY 12: Worlds of Fun

JUNE 26- Today we went towards Kansas City and went to Worlds of Fun, a local amusement park. I think this is the first time that I realized that if I’m going to an amusement park that there absolutely has to be either a) fair style food (scones, roasted corn, cotton candy, etc.) or b) they have to have a pretty grand selection or adult rides. I think this might be why I secretly prefer water parks. For the record I can’t swim, but chilling in a river ride, or going down a ton of different water slides sounds amazing to me. I think we’ll try to go to a newer local water park a bit later this summer.

That aside, I had a great time with my new friends here at KU.There were about 14 of us who went and we rode 5 or 6 roller coasters that were pretty awesome. Hands down favorite: the boomerang. I love a great roller coaster. Good times. And we went to Wendy’s after. Great Way to end the week and say goodbye to Iggy and Rockson.
