i don’t feel much tonight, and yet i think it’s because i feel too much. life has been so good lately that the hole i want filled most seems bigger than usual. i want to share all of these things.. i think i could just burst. but i think learning how to be ok right now is good. this process is good. i need to learn how to just live..to not have to depend on the things i have depended...

monday.
it’s monday. it always takes me a little bit to get the wheels turning; to get my mind wrapped around the thought of a whole new week. especially when this weekend was complete perfection. summer was here. i did some long-boarding, some laying out, some dinner and partying with family and friends, some sitting at cafes and drinking coffee, some gazing from hilltops, some good conversing,...

twenty-one seconds
i wrote this over a year ago and recently came across it. thought i’d post it. i found it pretty intriguing because it just reminded me that no matter how much i change as a person, the core of me is still the same.. clearly.

when i was in the elevator today, i wondered what it would be like to be trapped inside of it with a pregnant lady who just...

the fox.
as you may know, my little brother and i started a weekly art challenge a few weeks ago. each week we come up with a new theme so to speak, and see what we come up with creatively. you can catch all of our challenges up till now at art signals, which we have so deemed ourselves. this weeks challenge was ‘spirit animals’. in my honest opinion, i do believe it was our best yet.

ghost train//summer camp

nothing matters when we're dancing.
it smells like heaven outside today. like fresh laundry, and happiness that could just swallow me whole with it’s arms all wrapped around my insides.

rumraket
last night i had the extreme gift of going to see efterklang here in LA at spaceland. it was truly one of the most graciously beautiful shows i’ve ever seen. that said, all i could listen to today was them, and in doing so i was led to discover the greatest thing ever to exist on the planet earth. rumraket, home of literally THE greatest musicians in the universe.

summeryness
great. i just got good at dressing awesome for wintery times. then it goes ahead and decides to be 90* outside. now i’ve got to start figuring out some summery goodness to adorn my bod with.
this pretty much sums up the state of my insides right now:

tonight was a good night.
tonight was a good night. i went and saw ‘a single man’ with timmy and i think it may have changed my life completely. maybe that’s too melodramatic. but i do feel like it has made me see certain things about life that i rarely let myself see. sometimes i feel like such a small small part of this thing we call life. and i am, really, when i think about it. but at the same...

i know you have a heavy heart
trying something new.
i realize that lately everything i’ve posted has been somewhat heavy.. but heavy doesn’t always have to mean negative. my heart has been heavy with beauty, love, all things bright and bursting.. it’s glorious really. and sure, there are spurts of pain and agony as well, but what’s new? :)
so here’s this…

i wanna smoke a pack in my room while lying on my bed with nothing but shorts and a tank top on; the summer air blowing through my windows. beach house pouring out of my speakers, and nothing on the walls but these pictures i’ve made my life. only this heart of mine full of worn down shoes and hands that clap and kick just when i run out of words. nothing but you’s and me’s...

it's time to get up.
you just got destroyed again. you’re head is still intact. i think it might have just exploded last night. you couldn’t even feel the rest of your body you know, not even your cold feet. but the pictures in the back of your thoughts still showed up nice and bright, smashing against the sides of your skull. what is with the insides of that head of yours, anyway? but you’re...

i think we're drunk dear.
i have to write when i’m like this. my mind isn’t boxed up in nicely kept walls. it spills over ceilings and pours down the hallways and into every room i hide in. all of this is a bunch of bullshit. i know nothing about life, but i see more than ever. i’ll call you on my way to sin city, but i think you care too much to let me be just your friend. you don’t answer. it’s too close. so i’ll...

wasted hands we tear ourselves apart telling stories our tongues cannot control with rosy red cheeks, we smile and lose all feeling lay down and die to the lives we can’t be living
our eyes are opened for the first time in ages and grabbing daffodils we let our arms rise from our bodies we’ll flood this land, waist high in freedom and alive, growing hearts on trees we’ll multiply
heavy legs...

i just got back some gems today..
it feels good. every time i get back a batch of decent photos something happens to my heart. cameras are so much more sure of everything than i am. perhaps that’s why i like them so much. my heart falls to pieces. my head explodes. the world is a little more interesting.
love.

where have i gone
i’m not sure where my head and heart are today. i haven’t been able to write anything much lately. i’ve just been posting a bunch of music and art because i can’t get anything out on my own. i did write this the other night as i drove down to costa mesa before heading to vegas. it was just such a perfect moment..

dent may & his magnificent ukulele
holey moley. i am in love with this man. dent may has opened my mind and redefined the term ‘nerd cool’ in a way that that makes me feel pure happiness and joy. this guy is a crooning ukulele lounge singer and he’s not afraid to embody everything about that persona. you can tell he doesn’t take himself too seriously, but he asks that you take him seriously. and the...

Watchwell. here it is. i wish this was better, but i think i’ll get better with time. i want a better voice. a more unique one. but since i can’t get so picky just yet, this will have to do. i’m sorry, bon iver, for falling short of your glory. but lets be honest, who can come close? at least i make up for it with weirdness, right? what.. i wear a coon hat and paint my face...
