Enlightening.

Many years ago, I had a dream.
I was in my backyard when
a beautiful unicorn came to me.
It took me on the most breathtaking adventure;
through the skies, over the ocean, & into the sunset.

I'll never forget it.
I could taste the air.
Smell the ocean.
Feel the warmth of the sun.

To this day I was never happier
or more at peace
than I was at that moment.

Before it left, the unicorn told me
"Do not worry, I will come back for you someday."
& I believe it will. 
It will.

Current Beat:
The Beatles "Yesterday"
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.

So,

Maybe I am easily entertained,

but I was absolutely entranced by this:

Your Rocky Spine.

Here is a little bit of visual delight, including a
fantastic tattoo which seems to have been 
placed on the inner forearm.
"all good things are wild and free"
New mantra?
I think so.
Oh, and a bit of James Franco never hurts either.





My latest music find is a charming Indie Folk band known as
Great Lake Swimmers.
I suggest downloading their entire album
Ongiara.
You won't regret it.

"With your soft fingers against my claws
like purity against resolve."

There, There

Current Read:
Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
... I hope it's the kind of side he can listen to whenever he drives alone and feel like he belongs to something whenever he's sad. I hope it can be that for him.

Played poker yesterday.
& lost it all.
Well, all 10 dollars, that is.
I guess that isn't too much to complain about.

Work tonight. And studying.
joy.

& she screamed 'Claudio!'

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
Pablo Neruda
Today has flown by.
I guess that is to be expected
when I sleep in past noon.

Watched Up last night.
Simply Delightful.
Go see it. In 3D.


Current Beat:
Coheed & Cambria "Everything Evil"
Goddamnit, we'll make it if you believe.

In A Half-Lit World.

Gloomy day in LA.
I love it.
Perfect for lattes, vintage shopping, and reading a novel.

I think I'll go to Barnes & Noble.
Maybe pick up a book.
Maybe about Event Planning.
or Photographic Inspiration.

After I finish my laundry
& get a much-needed manicure.

Yes, that what I'll do.

Current Beat:
Iron & Wine "The Trapeze Swinger"
My dear but if I make the pearly gates
I'll do my best to make a drawing of
God and Lucifer, a boy and girl,
an angel kissing on a sinner,
a monkey and a man, a marching band
all around a fractured trapeze swinger.

Straylight Run.


You would kill for this, 
just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
You would, you would...


Sing me something soft, sad and delicate
or loud and out of key
Sing me anything.


Watched Drag Me to Hell
and highly recommend it.
The only downside:
I am now a little frightened by old ladies.
(Especially the ones from a foreign nation
who can remove their teeth
and practice witchcraft.)
