1. i drew some whales. i love whales.  it was a video series called ‘the voyage of the mimi’. its purpose was to educate kids on sea life, whales in particular, by taking us aboard the ship named ‘mimi’. i was in the 5th grade and all i cared about was the cute boy who starred in these videos. he was probably about 12 or so. (i would later find out that this dream boat was a then undiscovered ben affleck). cute boy aside, the voyage of the mimi was responsible for my fascination with whales. killer whales were my favorite. mostly because they looked the coolest. and i was good at drawing them. we drew life sized portrayals of our favorite whales with sidewalk chalk out in front of the school for one of our assignments. my group did the killer whale and it was probably the best drawing in the class. thanks to the voyage of the mimi i have to go whale watching before i die. and i also still think ben affleck is a dream boat.

  3. i had nothing to lose and nothing to prove

    my heart was never made of muscle

    but soft strings all delicately placed next to one another

    each holding the other up

    each stronger because of the other

    i had nothing to give you 

    nothing but what i had and what i had was you

    you made me feel you made me not feel 

    you made me

    stronger than i thought

    like sinews

    holding each other together

    never breaking but always bending

  7. when you’re in love you see the best and the deepest part of the person, the real person. love is not a distortion like many people believe. i think it’s the truest picture you can get of somebody. when the romance dies my obsession to photograph the person wears off, but the photographs that I’ve taken do not lose their intensity. the emotional need comes first and then the pictures. taking a picture of someone is a way of touching them. it’s a caress. my pictures often come from erotic desire. it’s like having safe sex.

  10. i miss writing. i cant seem to get anything out. i feel.. uninspired. not myself. yet desirous of everything. i want to be everything; to do everything. but it’s hard with all my limbs feeling so heavy.. all this nothing, all this something just piling up inside of them with no way out. just something.. pull me, peel me. i want to feel the pounding sensation of my heart against the open air..
