For whom it may concern, my music library is finally shaping up to its prior shape and size and, in fact, is probably better than it was before. My top 25 is also beginning to reflect my true tastes and isn’t as heavily influenced on the flood of recently released music. If you haven’t given [...]
I have an obsession with graffiti and tattoos. I intend to keep my tattoos fairly limited; no sleeves in my future, that is to say, but I am fascinated by the images and symbols people place on their body as well as the feeling that accompanies the ink. It’s an ethereal high to say the [...]
The things that make me tick this week:
1. Music videos from Islandrecords artists Sam Sparro and Cut Copy. I’ve been in desperate need of some music to dance to and since my finger and toe tapping Girl Talk days are in need of a break, I feel that I’ve found a decent replacement.
2. The [...]
Short thoughts on the things I (could) love
He envisioned the world in multiples of 4×6. Every moment, every image, captured. His memory, scrawled throughout photographs. His heart, as red as a dark room.

A bird flew into the left engine of my plane. While we rose higher into the night sky, the cabin circulated an air saturated with a scent of smoke. Nobody panicked as the noise escalated. We glanced over at our neighbor, eyeing them to verify that yes, the plane is having an unusual take off [...]
You find it outside of the Thrift and Save hidden underneath a pile of crumpled newspaper used to wrap fragile used vases and picture frames. It is poking out of the garbage can, sprinkled with petals of ashes from dead cigarettes and stained with a splash of RC Cola that was flung in, just barely [...]
