...And I Need All The Love I Can Get

This track so sums up my mentality today...Yearning.

Who knew 1990 could reveal so much about 2008

The Wiz

...can someone please invent a time machine so that we can all go back to 1975 and relive this magick on The Great White (?) Way...

Request From The Universe

Sometimes you just have to simplify the message...in this case up-and-comer Chris Caccamise visually delivers the message I am directing toward the heavens.

Mantra du Jour

The phrase I keep repeating over and over and over in my skull today is:

Don't Judge...Be Open

I need to keep this thought at the forefront of my thinking because, sadly, it is often absent from my approach to life.

Designed Out

There is no doubt that Nicholas Kirkwood is delivering it to The Children. Keep it up...

Eminent Domain

On Thursday I finally checked out Ethan's photos in the Eminent Domain show at the majestic main library.

The show has been well received and justifiably so. All of the photographers look at the City in a different light and from a different angle. These varied perspectives, I believe, mirror a New Yorkers experiences with the city. In the blink of an eye one can go from hating every facet of this concrete monster to savoring it's extraordinary gorgeousness.

Rarely can you walk more than a couple of blocks without having some emotion provoked. The photographs in this group exhibition reflect that diversity of experience.

YouTube What Hath Thou Wrought?

At certain points the YouTube videos I post here will not show up...sometimes they won't appear on the blog until weeks after I post them. It is pure insanity I tell you...

Be Your Man

Shout to Minneapolis...Shout to Prince and all his disciples.

Cuttlefish Are Rad

...I could watch footage of cuttlefish for hours. Their beauty is inspirational.

Thank you Moms Nature!

Witness Genius

...the term "Genius" gets bandied about a lot lately, but Zach Galifianakis is a true genius. Anyone who can manufacture the concept of a Norah Jones Laser show deserves such praise

Fade to Grey

...It is just one of those days that you HAVE to take it back to '81. This is what we thought the future would look like.

Suprisingly the New Romantic/ Blitz Kids thing never got a stronghold in the heartland of the U.S.

Old Way vs. New Way

...the Daft Punk classic transcends generations. Bring it to the floor

Daft Punk A Capella

...a different take on the Daft Punk classic

Can't Agree More.

Perpetual Lesson

One of the big lessons in my life is learning the necessity of Patience. I did not grow up in the internet age, I legitimately remember a time when things, people, information moved at a drastically slower pace.

However, as an adult I am plagued by impatience. I yearn for the world to move as fast as the ideas that spin in my head. When this does not happen I get frustrated. Part of what I am going through right now is the need to slow down and reperspectivize.

I need to learn how to pace myself so that I am in sync with, for lack of a better term, the rhythm of life...

If Sleeping Is An Art, This Is My Canvas

I don't know where Nicolas Matheus took this photograph, but this is my ultimate dream bed. Outside, in a blue glow, and no visible distractions. What else do you need for slumber?

Killer (Mc)Queen

Janet delivering Alexander Mcqueen at the opening of Lee's L.A. flagship store. Work the functions sweetie...

Appreciate Small Moments

A torrential downpour outside...a surprisingly delicious homemade lasagna...the latest episode of Mad Men. Put them all together and for that span of time life is bueno...

How It Is

This is one of those truths that I need to remind myself of on a daily basis.

Had lunch at Dojo today with Alyssa and this was pretty much the topic of conversation. We both described our struggles with envisioning the path that lies before us...How do you get motivated to get out of a rut?...isn't the rut part of the Universe's plan?...

Is It Real Or In My Skull?

Now bear in mind that I don't have a mortgage in default and I haven't purchased a gallon of gas in years, so the following comments may be extremely late to the scene, but the sense of economic dread amongst my fellow citizens seems to be more palpable by the day.

Perhaps it is the realization that there is absolutely no easy answer to our predicament, and unlike past crises we cannot fool ourselves into believing one will appear.

Earlier today I thought that the central question that should arise in the upcoming presidential debates needs to be "What are you prepared to ask the American public to sacrifice in order to get the country back on track?". Unlike after 9/11, we can't suggest that going shopping will pump enough money back into the ecomomy to change the course.

I must admit that I am a little scared at how two politicians would answer this question with an election in the balance...

One More Try

Decided to give Sean Wilsey's Oh The Glory Of It All another chance. I started reading it when it first came out and for some reason it just did not grab me. Usually, if I decided that I do not like something then it is dead to me.

Having had so many people praise this book influenced me to give it another chance. We'll see if I can commit this time.

Thought From The Quote

George Eliot's quote "It's never too late to be who you might have been." is really kicking my ass lately.

I am trying to decipher what lies on the road ahead...psychologically, spiritually, physically. My thought is that the answer rests within early childhood hopes, dreams and perspectives...stuff that got glossed over on the way to adulthood.
