Today is extraordinarily beautiful. Clear, sunny, somewhere in the Fahrenheit upper-fifties, which is approaching what we know as “perfect” on the Sims temperature scale.
I feel happier than I have felt in weeks.
I feel human.
It was about two miles of absolute wonder. The wind blew my hair (which is about 50% longer than it has been [...]
It was unbelievably cold and only three came out any good at all, but the sight was truly incredible and it was a beautiful distraction from paper-writing.
Someone tell me how to be rational about what’s happening right now.
School isn’t working for me anymore. Finance isn’t right for me, I’ve known this. I’m confused about [...]
Wow. Last night was an absolutely amazing show. Yes–literally amazing.
This man is not of this world. He hails from Sweden, born to Argentinian emigrants. The rest of the details are inconsequential. Just know that José González is an incredibly brilliant musician. And his music is beautiful and moving and you should be listening to it [...]
Check that shit out.
Third set down. I’m very very pumped.
Thanks to Mike for putting on a helluva show for me to photograph. Listen to his music.
Jeff Tweedy sang:
I shake like a toothache
When I hear myself sing
Though I’m not totally sure how toothaches shake, I’m giving Jeff artistic license here. He’s spot-on. It’s incredibly tough to see one’s own work. I’m not really ever fully satisfied with the words I write, be it in my journal, on this blog, or in [...]
And I’m really confused what I’m doing here. Europe (flickr) was unreal. Like I’m really still not to terms with the fact it happened. And it was so positive. Literally amazing. But I’m startled by how the same everything here has been. I don’t know what I exactly expected, but whatever it was turned out [...]
This is the emotion I experienced today for the first time in a very, very long time.
The estrogen-overload I receive on a daily basis was nothing compared to having So Long, Farewell sung and rewritten with lyrics poking fun at my hobbies and my word choice, along with my 21st birthday, printed on a homemade [...]
Some people, they say, can’t see the forest for the trees.
Lately, I haven’t seen the trees for the power lines.
And the power lines have me in a rigid state of maddening writer’s block. So here’s me trying to break it with (likely highly edited by its eventual posting) stream-of-consciousness writing/ranting/whatever.
So these power lines. [...]
Why is this picture so moving? Just look. Keep looking.
How is it so obscenely touching? Is it the juxtaposition of the tiny human against the massive Earth? Perhaps it’s the humanity encapsulated in a faceless reflective mask and the gloved-hand wave. How does this picture touch every emotion I can [...]
Sometimes, “Hot damn!” is about the only phrase that really describes the situation correctly. It conspicuously makes no logical sense. All discussion of a literally burning Hell aside, nothing about “damn” is hot and nothing about “hot” damn. It is an incomplete sentence, there is neither a subject nor an object. [...]
