and i will be your screech and crash
vermont wasn’t needed. however, it was nice and it was appreciated. old, new, and familiar faces kept my heart warm. i miss listening to crazy carl’s vinyl. i miss the lake and it’s everlasting serenity. LIVESTRONG. i need to get myself one of those braclets so i can keep reminding myself that’s what i need to do. live. and live strong. kevin told me i was...
you were my favorite moment of our dead century.
i have about a half hour to pack for 10 days away. i have a back-log of 200 recently taken images to sort through, organize, and publish. i have a credit card bill that was due days ago and all the money is sitting right in front of me. i have overdue movies at blockbuster. i have various forms of paperwork to fill out. i have phone calls to return. i have so much to do in about 15...
i never got on the bus.
instead, i rented the weather underground. a documentary about the weathermen, a radical offshoot of the students for a democratic society [a mid-1960s reform group]. highly recommended.
at dinner, my dad and i were the only sober ones. my mom made margaritas for katie and alex to try. katie didn’t like hers [wasn’t sweet enough] but alex seemed to enjoy his. i was amused the...
i should be dead.
last night was fun. i haven’t been bowling in a long time. after practice [which included me doing a cameo on bass, yaffa, beers, covering three different blink albums, two new songs by tom and k2] tom, ted, mike, k2, and i went to t-bowl. i think i bowled a 140 in the first game. i beat my personal best by about 10 points. and it was good enough to beat everyone else. i got...
breath of silence.
out of all the pictures i took last night, i like these the most [they’re unedited..i still have to fix the contrast, etc]. their studio is actually really cool. for never having used the camera i was using and never taking formal pictures of any band other than stafford, things went well. a majority of the press shots didn’t come out the way i wanted them to because...
pure romance.
these are from the last roll of film i shot with my canon. it will probably be the last roll of film for a long while now, considering the fact that i have a new girlfriend…
a nikon d70 digital SLR camera, purchased this morning in the city of new york. it’s safe to say, i’ve been waiting for this day like a little kid waits for his birthday or christmas. i...
i can feel the air rushing past my ears.
some people can’t exist multi-dimensionally. they choose or are inserted into a life they lead and can’t comfortably exit and re-enter said state. i think i can do this well. my character/personality is a “jack of all trades” per say. or maybe it’s because i’m just good with people. throughout life i’ve been swimming through a maze of social circles. ...
target demographic.
i don’t know if it’s because i’ve experienced, first-hand, so much death this summer; so much that it feels like it’s nipping at my heels. or if it’s because of some of the movies i’ve been watching lately [most notable: garden state]. or maybe because i’ve been by myself a lot of this summer [sometimes physically and most of the times mentally]. ...
