can someone please explain this to me?
I'm tired of realism (for the sake of realism) in art, or at least the creation of it. It easily courts the most immediate and delighted response in my peers but I always feel cheapened in the aftermath. I feel like a glorified camera, or photocopier. To what end should I spend my days whiling away on something just as easily created with Photoshop ( Read more... ) -
Zzz
I seriously suspect that this election is consuming my soul. It's better than any drama show on HBO or Showtime -- so many subversive aspects! The sociologist in me is nearly swooning. (I may have spent at least 12hrs today acquainting myself with some very compelling articles. And it's only been 12 hours and 29 minutes into the day.)

the dimming divide
Welp. I'm back.
According to my newly obliterated archive, it's been two years since I last posted in this old thing. Give or take. The loveliest thing about the Internet must be the absence of dust mites or spider homes to combat. Everything is as pristine as I left it, and the password still turns smoothly in the lock.

'08 edit: this, the false prophets of yesteryear(s)?
They are all looking for something, traveling the world and the seven seas but looking for a place to stay. I'm not looking, I've found what it is I want and I can't have it. If I stayed, I would be staying not out of hope but out of fear. Fear of being alone, of being parted from a woman who simply by her presence makes the rest of my life seem ( Read more... )
