Today I:

- Had a day for myself.
- ate 3 grilled cheese sandwiches
- drank 3 cups of Vanilla Earl Grey
- Slept a total of 6 extra hours on top of the 6 i slept last night
- Watched Notting Hill
- Didn't Once feel sorry for myself.

I love days like today.

Beirut.

This is what happens in my brain when good memories are created.

I can't get over how GOOD Zach Condon is. Such beauty in music has been hard to find lately.

Oh Hey.

hi.

mine, martin and azuree's mini-feast.

pretty much my backyard. if you cut out the highway.

My actual backyard view.

"Quite Frankly, Fuck Discretion"

I'm not going to sit here and bore you with the minutiae of my life or the resurfacing of my youthful anxiety and amoral recklessness, the kind only cured by excess. However, I will enlighten you with some of the more relevant and less stress-inducing aspects of my future, which I am sure you are dying to read about.
I've never felt so calm and content with the fact that things are finally happening/are about to happen. A pretty exciting revelation considering I haven't felt calm at all in the last 2 years.

THE FUTURE HOLDS THE FOLLOWING:
- a trip somewhere awesome on my two weeks off in december
- my camera being fixed PHOTOGRAPHY
- me starting my own business
- DJ equipment
- settling into my nice apartment
- a job with potential for growth.

Ok so most of these thigs are material but, together, these 'things' will create the fine mechanism that will satisfy my craving for inspiration and further success.....i hope.

booyah.

Shake and Pop.

Guys. seriously? I feel really good. I found an apartment that I like and because they didn't show up the first time I went to view the place the knocked the rent down and they are giving me two couches, a bed and a kitchen table. I'm smoking weed. I'm listening to Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and The Guess Who and loving every minute of it. I feel like I have all the time in the world. A new episode of The Hills is on tonight tonight!

sexuality.

is summed up in this song.

Klaxons-No Diggity.

Faust Arp.

One two three four

Wakey wakey
rise and shine
it's on again, off again, on again
watch me fall
like dominos
in pretty patterns
Fingers in the blackbird pie
im tingling tingling tingling
it's what you feel now
what you ought to, what you ought to
reasonable and sensible
dead from the neck up
because im stuffed, stuffed, stuffed
we thought you had it in you
but no, no, no
for no real reason

Squeeze the tubes and empty bottles
take a bow take a bow take a bow

it's what you feel now
what you ought to
what you ought to
an elephant thats in the room is
tumbling tumbling tumbling
in duplicate and duplicate
plastic bags and
duplicate and triplicate
dead from the neck up
guess im stuffed, stuffed, stuffed
we thought you had it in you
but no, no, no
exactly where do you get off
Is enough is enough is enough
I love you but enough is enough, enough
a last stop
There's no real reason

you'll go to hell for our fathers

you got melted to butter

you know what? Normally I'm against any sort of lyric posting for fear that it's to personal or even too...gay. But these lyrics seemed to ring deep. They are lyrics from a song called Faust Arp off of Radiohead's new album which is UNBELIEVEABLE.In reference to the above lyrics and according to wikipedia, The name "Faust", which is German for 'fist' and Latin for lucky or auspicious, has come to stand for a charlatan alchemist (some claim "astrologer and necromancer") whose pride and vanity lead to his doom. Similarly, the adjective "faustian" has come to denote acts or constellations involving human hubris (exaggerated self pride or self-confidence [overbearing pride]) which lead eventually to doom.

I needed something new from Radiohead, I really did.

So far the songs that have REALLY stricken a cord in me, besides Faust Arp, are as follows:

NUDE - Radiohead
WEIRD FISHES - Radiohead
ALL I NEED - Radiohead
