OoOooOooo

Violent, intense sensuality? Check. Video from Nosaj Thing's Drift Remixed album. Yummy. 

Oh Pariah!

My mind has been racing lately. So many ideas, not enough (read: NO) time to follow through with any of them. Music, business, creating, sewing, traveling, planning, decision making. A friend over at 283 has this to say:

...ultimately, isn't fear the most immediate yet overlooked obstacle to living the way we should? I came to the realization this morning that fear has become not only a hindrance, but a safehouse, a comfort for me. I fill every spare moment I have with work, fearing that free time will lead me to the daunting task of thinking about and making decisions about the direction of my future. At the same time, I am using this lack of free time as an excuse for why I have been unable to nurture any of the prospective seedlings that are bursting through my frontal lobes. In all my pragmatism, this cycle is completely illogical, and I recognize it as such, which makes me want to shout even louder, "FUCK YOU FEAR".

But please, don't be afraid of this:

I like classic, practical things. Given that 50% of my job is in finance, if I calculate the per usage rate of this new purchase, I am making an extremely economical decision. Enough said:

I want all of them, but I think Rusty wins.

I want to make out with you, to this, on a rainy Sunday, the sun burning orange, about to retire.

You don't want to know how many times I have watched this beautiful video or listened to the Crooks and Lovers album by Mount Kimbie. This video evokes such evasive emotion, it's as if I have to keep watching it over and over to pinpoint the feeling that starts to bubble to the surface, but I get too mesmerized with the overall aesthetic and sound, forgetting that there was purpose to my re-re-re-viewing. Intangible beauty if I've ever seen it.

Shame on me

Balmain, I think you are tacky, not timeless;
Uninspired, strictly aesthetic.
But yet I always find myself loving a piece from each collection.
Shame on me.
