Now that it’s too darn late I can’t help but ask myself why on earth I’m not inebriated by the sound waves rolling off the hills of the coachella valley? Why am I in Iowa and not California on this weekend of all weekends? I just had to say it. Coachella, I miss you and [...]
I’ve been going through a miniature version of writers block. Although I must admit that what’s really happening is much more a version of motivational lack than any true block of inspiration or lack of words to say.

All of the great writers, he said, write about escaping from their homes and the [...]
Things I am obsessed with:

2. Diving Bell- Not the movie, although it was good. I’m talking about the image, it is beautiful and sea themed like me. Plus, my friend Annie Danger bought me a necklace featuring [...]
