nights alone with black candles and black pens - pure solitude - the city quiet with a cloak of mist - and some twisted thoughts being put onto paper.

if nothing is objective...

The nihilist on the one hand, feels the ambiguity of their existence and wants to be free, but they can only seek freedom through negation. “And if freedom is experienced in this case in the form of rejection, it is not genuinely fulfilled”(de Beauvoir, 57).

...and his little sister. sarah.




there are these mornings you wake up - and you feel like so much of your life has gone by - there are things you want to start doing differently - eat more healthy - stop smoking - start going to yoga - finish assignments earlier - spend more time with so and so and less time at that bar. live for now instead of having "fun" with all these things offered to make us feel out of space and time. but for some reason at the end of most days you wind up in something that makes you feel comfortable be it injecting yourself into loud music and friends or indulging in the devils.

on those mornings when you want to wake up to moms breakfast - and a perfectly packed lunch.
growing up is over rated - but life changes are always available.

THE cutest baby wool hat website of all baby wool hat sites.
Nice design - simple, precise - and of course there is an adorable model in the lookbook photos. It tugs on all those maternal hormones kickin around in every lady. Don't deny it.

amazing.

"From the first time I laid eyes on her 7 years ago at “The Hole”, I have been following her progress. I watched her negotiate Justine D’s circle of friends learning the tricks of the trade. I watched from the corner as she learned to dj in the basement of Lit. Soon I watched her new success in print because I had a girlfriend. Being a good boyfriend meant forbidding myself from dens of temptation like Misshapes, so I would scour magazines and page 6 for little tid bits, little clues or pictures. Her success was everywhere. Now, overly ambitious women are without a doubt unattractive, doubly unattractive when they are after something meaningless like scene fame. Its only forgivable if you’re really young. Young she was, so all was forgiven. I’m out of a relationship now and the Missshapes have not been newsworthy for a wile. She will be perfect, a little older, conscious of the futility of nightlife and downtown fame, ready to just be a girlfriend. laughing at funny things i say, eating Italian Ice in Tompkins Sq Park, giving me that cold look when i take a dirty joke to far.

Oh how wrong i was. Just when i thought she was coming back down from orbit she is off on another mission. Beyond lunar this time. Chanel Ambassador? What the fuck dose that even mean? "

- excerpt from a blog I stumbled upon today. laughing out loud in the mac lab - trying to work on homework but avoiding it completely on a search for the perfect soundtrack to the typography assignment I will never finish. but fuck I found some cool new songs.
