what is best

There are only two categories of admirable battles in this world:

1. to right wrongs

2. to achieve betterment

okay. duh.

but.
if you reduce 'what is effectively happening' with your every action, or your job, or your expenses ... you better see that they fall into one of these two categories.

If they don't... then your actions are A. evil or B. indifferent (and therefore a waste - which I would argue is evil (n.b. seemingly neutral actions are generally in keeping with larger goals)

I no longer believe in the mantra "oh its not a question of right and wrong, but just different". I don't believe this in art. I don't believe this in "life". I believe things (art, actions, music, laws, relationships, etc.) in their atomic form (but as they relate to their surroundings) must either be contributing "good" or correcting "bad" in order to be Good. And some things turn out Bad. I'm not sure whether webs of things can be measured in this way. Consider that the back-to-nature movement might be equally contributing betterment same as Apple...

I DIDN'T MEAN TO RAMBLE... I'm currently stuck in this quicksand....which may turn into an oasis... or maybe I should just let my parents yank me out and swing me home

fir fly



Looking at this shoot... (Bregje Heinenby Jean-François Campos for Flair, November 2010)

I had these thoughts all at once -
1. How beautiful

2. These girls live one day in the piled on luxury of these firs (that have such an imaginative essence) ... to live it truly would be a serious adventure, or departure.

3. I want to do that. I want a solid winter spent in this fantasy. I want the grit and fluff of it. A picture never suffices - rarely do pictures service us more than to influence others' perspective. Our facebook culture struggles with this misconception.

4. where can I write this thought down so I do not forget about it? It needs pictures. I should start a blog. Oh, I have a blog. shit. xo

Thank you Al Gore.


The Internet is the best invention EVER.

I can't elaborate on this thought right now because it is so fantastic to me...
Additionally, I don't see the tech age as the eventual demise of the music industry, but rather the point of flourishing. Society will benefit from this. Again, no elaboration from me at this time. xo

It all comes down to education.

WHY is it still an oddity to see women in executive positions? get. over. it.
You'll be stunned to find out: we even have the right to vote now too!
