Ok, so I lied. One one more…
Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Even though he had a rough patch in the 90’s, I have liked him since Angels in the Outfield. Anyone?
One more…
The gap gets me every freakin time—
””“Model Georgia May Jagger is studying ” sociology, photography, and art,” her agent said. Jagger is said to be reducing her modeling and social engagements. “She is thinking about further studies after she finishes school and wants to do well in her exams,” her agent...
Being girly today, it was a Monday.
There are so many wedding pictures flying around right now. I don’t want to get married anytime soon but I will simply confess that sometimes when I look at these pictures I think, “oh, I would like that in mine”, or “I think in my wedding I would do that this way instead”. You know, silly girl stuff like that. Since this is my blog…and diary I guess in a...
A very important day.
This is a very important day, and I will tell you why. A few years ago I was reading The Time Traveler’s Wife at a friend’s suggestion (now that I think of it, I never gave it back. Sorry Aaron.), when I came across this quote at the beginning of a chapter:
“What is it? My dear?” “Ah, how can we bear it?” “Bear what?” “This. For so short a...
Tonight is a night of finding old things..
A Germs Burn for Kyle
Same old hat a woodland creature leather skin crooked features, you remain the same from day one. Raccoon eyes and lines of india ink, bleach spot twin brother of mine.
Man of the house throned in hand-me-down high back oak, once my father’s. The gummy, cat-scratched white paint signifying your empire of choice.
Drops of dignity from whiskey-cloud eyes, show pain flash but no...
I wonder how your sounds are so full of your soul?
I wrote this about a friend years ago (circa early ‘07 I think). I just found it in an old notebook and as I read it, all of those exact same emotions washed over me so vividly I began to cry, and remembered I was crying when I wrote it. This is why I write, to comemorate and evoke emotion, even if it is simply my own.
You sing your sadness, your love, your disappointment and your protests....
You want to know how deep my soul goes?
Deeper than bones.
I just completed the most perfectly tailored mix CD, listened to it twice and put it in an oragami envelope made from a Tim Hawkins “Zoopsia” poster. I might as well dig out my stud belt with the seatbelt clasp and chucks, put my hair in braids and give him a note that says “Do you like me? (Check ‘yes’ or ‘no’)”.
Animal Summer
Aright kittens and puppies, here it is. My first poem written in ages. I like it. It’s a bit… internally referential, but I like it. Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles. __________________________________________________________________
Lost and found kindred in a techno beat let go lighting fire in the street, bursting buttons veiling freshly fractures sewn. Striking a cord on...

Holy goodness.
This woman is fabulous. I will admit it’s a lot of the same, but not in a bad way. It’s like if Alphonse Mucha tried his hand at el Dia de los Muertos. Also, in her work from this past year there are some poses (as well as the calilillys) that are reminiscent of Rivera but at the same time have Frida’s intriguing yet disturbing sense of surreality. There’s...
Appeal.
This is a piece by Erik Beehn. I didn’t like too much else from this body of work. It was ok, but it didn’t catch my interest too strongly, though to be fair, I didn’t give it too much time or research. This piece however, really appealed to me. I felt so peaceful when I saw this color and composition. I looked at it and everything felt right in the world for about five seconds:

Thoughts, it was a Monday. 9/13/10
I was looking, and I realized that my blog has been somewhat trite and blase lately. I haven’t posted anything about art (besides my Jareth poster— which yes, I totally think is art. No I don’t, but I’m proud of it and it makes me glad) in weeks. Well besides fashion photography. That counts, depending on the photographer. It’s been shallow, I realize that. I have...
For Sarah:
Weegee and Warhol.
Personal Opinion
He would have hated all the hullabaloo. He would have made so much fun of all the illustrated pictures with men being freed from chains at the foot of the cross, or doves among the clouds and all that. Reposting the same pictures of him over and over and over and over again… he would have said to give it a rest. We all miss him. We really do, but he is not here, he is not with us. We have...
I was talking to Sarah earlier, and paired with something I said to Jer the other night I was thinking… maybe on a smaller scale in some aspects, but- we lived the factory. We were part of something that anyone who knew about it, is going to remember. There are some people, who when they look back, they will always see us. And we knew it the whole time.
Old School Flirtation
ROMEO
[To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.

I love seeing combinatinations of things I find highly highly highly attractive… Like when THIS..
PLUS THIS..
MAKE THIS..
I really love blonde boys and I really love grey suits. What is better than a hot blonde in a grey suit? Can you tell me? Because if there is something better I’d love to know about it.
Two!?
I just got two jobs in one day. I have been here in MD since Thursday, but I didn’t start looking for a job untill Monday. It is now Friday and I have since applied to maybe 8 places, had 6 interviews, and gotten two jobs. You are now looking at the new Visual Director for the only Tilly’s in the state, and the new Westfield mall American Apparel Sales Associate. Fuck yeah.
