Lover    of    things,

won't you agree

how the winter could bring

the darkest spring?

It's like marrow without bone.

To live in a house with no home.

Where the son is the darkest seed.

He crawls with the curs in the weeds.

Ar

ar

art

art,

Art.

Unsentimental,

Driving around,

Sure of myself,

Sure of it now,

You stand this close to me,

Like the future was suppose to be,

In the eyes of the Grocery,
In the block uptown,

I remember,

Remember well,

But if I'd forgotten,

Could you tell.

There are many reasons that I am looking forward to going to Europe:
the beautiful culture
the weather
the atmosphere
the seclusion and inspiration of where we're staying
but right now the main reason I can think of
is that I really want to escape from some people.
It feels like certain people weigh on me, my being,
and slowly are changing who I am.
I feel so numb all the time.
I want to go back.

she’s not perfect she’s my hero

Smashing the piano

Spitting in the front row

Chronic confrontation

Psychic conversation

Radical compassion

Louder than the action

All of us

Shes not perfect she's a victim

of her occupation

social instillation

secret intervention

charge her with posession

I just wanna watch em

Make and break or beat them

and the stars.

Burnt out stars they shine so bright.

(my front row photos)

We know your house so very well

and we will wake you once we've walked up

all       your      stairs.

(not my pic)

I miss ____ already.
It's like the anticipation of getting a shot,
and how terrifying it is,
but you haven't even had the needle plunge into your skin yet.
Well it's only been two days,
but the fact that I  know that I am essentially going to have to go
the rest of my life

In the white room

with the black curtains

she is waiting....

There is a man that i know,

For 17 years He never spoke.

Guess he had nothing to say.

He opened his mouth on just one day,

I listened with all of my might.

But was scared by the look in his eyes,

Like he had already lost the fight

And there was no hope ever in sight.

You're gone,

colours seem to f a d e.

Also, J'adore working on this book my sister got me!

The one positive thing that's came out of the last few months.

I wish it would be,

in black and white.

At least, I would sleep,

in your wooden arms tonight.

Hey.
These last couple days have been awful, but in a more literal sense then it was before then.
Yesterday, inexplicabely, I threw up a lot. Then slept for 13 hours.
Today I had an open mic and covered Iron and Wine's version of Such Great Heights.
Things feel very surreal and negative,
like there is some sort of grayscaled haze lingering over everything I do,
everyone I see.
Like that beautiful old grainy film I love.
Nothing's clear.
But it's not dark in the profound manner that the film is.
Also, I'm finding relationships to be very trying.
Ahh.
I have two days of school left.
But I'm not feeling nostalgic or anything,
I just want to be alone all the time.
Such sself-alienation.

Shear

Clear

Clearwater.

If you wake away I'll walk away,
first tell me which road you will take.
I don't wanna risk our paths crossin some day,
so if you walk this way I'll walk that way.
-Conor Oberst.

by Conor Oberst and The Album Leaf

This has been a good weekend I think, conclusively.
Struggled with some demons friday,
but I got to spend time with Jessie, who I absuloutely adore.
Saturday I got to spend time with Eric, and Evan,
and then today Paul and Evan.
I had some really cool nature experiences with Paul today,
made me really appreciate the world.

Going tto spend the night with Jessie tonight,

Eric and Evan tommorow,

Pol sunday.

All awful things that went down in the last couple days aside,

I'm really hoping this week will turn around, this weekend.

It's Italian Day on Commercial Sunday and I may be going;

I'm looking forward to this all.

Now I have to catch

a bus.

bye.

M e m o r y Tapes.

Deadmau5

They were as visually stunning as they were musically trippy.

The National

I loved the National.

About Today was rad.

VAMPIRE WEEEKENDDD

In december drinking horchata

I looked psychotic in a balaclava.

SO GOOD.

sweet jesus.

A video I took at Sasquatch while waiting in line to get in.

Sasquatch

Sasquatch was fantastic.

Imagine a music festival, a normal one where some people are drunk, some are smoking weed. Then add everyone doing E, and you will have Sasquatch.
It was so beautiful, and I met some rad people,
and saw some fantastic bands,
and danced like a mofo.

Laura Marling;

Hope in the Air was her best song.

She was very cute and charming and British.

Mumford and Sons:

They were fantastic.

Sigh no More and White Blank Page blew my mind

it was so brilliant.

The Middle East

This rad Australian band who had really good harmonies,

the wind was blowing furiously during their concert,

and I was front row,

it was a very ethereal experience.

I like the darkest side of my heart

the most.

PATRICK WATSON

my favourite live performer:

I saw Patrick in December at the Vogue front row, and he was fantastic.

I got there super early and was front row again, and it was just as good as the first time, if not better. He was smoking the whole time,

and was super beautiful.

He performed Travelling Salesman, Big Bird, Fireweeds, Beijing, and Luscious Life.

After the show I gave a Poloraid with a Haiku I wrote on it to a bouncer, and he gave it to Patrick. Patrick smiled and waved at me, and finished taking his stuff away with the poloroid in his mouth.

Here are all some more pictures of it.

Sasquatch2010

Sweet oh luscious life

celebrate your dreams when you are away

doesn't it taste so sweet

like it's growing on oh growing on the trees

growing on t h e t r e e s

I'M OFF TO SASQUATCH. BYE.

"Right, birds can fly so high

And they can shit on your head

And they can almost fly into your eye

And make you feel so scared.

But when you look at them

And you see that they're beautiful

That's how I feel about you"

Some photographs I've taken in the last few days.

SASQUATCH
I'm leaving in three days.
I will see the best line-up I've ever seen,
even after all my bumbershoots and folk fests.
Oh my goodness.
