IT'S PERSONAL

Fashion Guru and Designer living in Minneapolis Minnesota, Megan Jorgenson is my go to inspiration when it comes to getting dressed. Her posts flow with her mood, season, and daily projects. You will never be bored with this gem. 

MOONCATS
Updated more often than your facebook status MOONCATS is an endless wonder of all things awesome. Created by Zac Marben an eclectic artist, musician, travler, snowboarder, and motorcycle enthusiast.  It's an interesting glimpse into the imagination of a very interesting man.

BUDO BEATS
Brooklyn based producer, musician, and performer BUDO allows the public in on his endless journey through this blog. Follow him every step of the way while he makes records, travels the world, and wonders a lot about everything else. This kid is truly a talent and anytime new work is released, I highly sugest picking it up here.

Don't Hurt Your Mind
Best Blog to read with a cup of tea because unlike most, you will actually be reading. Sage Hagan, a talented writer, world travler, and honestly jack of all trades from Albuquerque New Mexico is in my opinion the closest thing our generation has to Jack Kerouac. With little or no regard to convention his poetry investigates the very roots of being human. At times painfully honest this blog will have you starring into parts of yourself that you may never have wanted to look at.

Locale

I am so proud of this issue of Locale that contains three of my pieces. This is my favorite. Go under my publications to follow a link to their online magazine to check everything out. I will be posting the other pieces as soon as they are made available online :) Thank you for your support and thank you Locale!!

Lost It.

I feel so Fucking Lost.

Who Says

Don't judge me because this is John Mayer, I happen to love him. This song makes me happy.

Tinkers

Your cold mornings are filled with the heartache about the fact that although we are not at ease in this world, it is all we have, that it is ours but it is full of strife, so that all we can call our own is strife; but even that is better than nothing at all isn't it? And as you split frost-laced wood with numb hands, rejoice that your uncertainty is God's will and His grace toward you and that that is beautiful, and part of a greater certainty, as your own father always said in his sermons and to you at home. And as the axe bites into the wood, be comforted in the fact that the ache in your heart and the confusion in your soul means that you are still alive, still human, and still open to the beauty of the world, even though you have done nothing to deserve it. And when you resent the ache in your heart, remember: You will be dead and buried soon enough.

My favorite passage from Tinkers written by the talented Paul Harding. Go find yourself a copy. Now.

I'll see you When I see You.

 

   The first time I saw him it was a Monday in January and he was sitting beside the pool at the Travellodge off sunset with a black and white book in his hand and his face in the sky with a broad smile every time the sun came through the clouds. He was wearing this soft blue shirt that made him seem pretty and approachable. I watched him for awhile before climbing over the low metal fence. He seemed to be thinking a lot or on someone there was a lot to be thought about because he didn't notice I was there. When he did finally notice he looked over his shoulder and squinted into the sunlight but smiled at me. It was so natural, as if he had been expecting me. I was plugged right into the conversation he was already having with himself.
    "Have you ever noticed that when you watch someone leave you can feel whether or not it is going to be the last time you see them."
    "I don't see how you could know that," I said.
    "Then you've never seen someone leave like that."
    He looked down at his book like he had forgotten he was reading it, or even holding it. I tried to imagine his whole life and whomever it was he had just said goodbye to and why of all the places in the world he was sitting at the pool at the Travelodge. The motel still had their colored Christmas light up around the awning of the rooms, I couldn't decide if it was adding or detracting to the decour of the establishment and the feel of the evening or even this conversation. Made me feel we were in a different time and place entirely lightyears or just years away from east hollywood. If it's possible to look both defeated and hopeful at the same time, he did.

Black and White but fun all over.

 Laura in Venice on a lovely of all lovely days. Of many many things that I learned in this time space was that everything is just going to happen. I will now adopt the No Plan Plan.
