—Solitude, as I understand it, does not signify an unhappy state but rather, hidden royalty, profound incommunicability, yet a more or less somber knowledge of an unassailable singularity.

—Richard Siken, Black Telephone (Spork Editor’s Page)Oh we’re a mess, poor humans, poor flesh—hybrids of angels and animals, dolls with diamonds stuffed inside them We’ve been to the moon and we’re still fighting over Jerusalem. Let me tell you what I do know: I am more than one thing, and not all of those things are good. The truth is complicated. It’s two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet. I used to think that if I dug deep enough to discover something sad and ugly, I’d know it was something true. Now I’m trying to dig deeper.

Staying in the coolest house ever. Built right next to the levee by a former steamship captain in 1902 in what’s now the Lower 9th Ward. It’s tile and tin walls have helped it survive. The inside is even cooler. #neworleans

Welcome to my respectfully silly catalog of wicked art, ideas, design and random photo-logs from daily life to be used for observation, contemplation and inspiration.
Location: Los Angeles
Know that on the right hand from the Indies exists an island called California very close to a side of the Earthly Paradise; and it was populated by black women, without any man existing there, because they lived in the way of the Amazons. They had beautiful and robust bodies, and were brave and very strong. Their island was the strongest of the World, with its cliffs and rocky shores. Their weapons were golden and so were the harnesses of the wild beasts that they were accustomed to domesticate and ride, because there was no other metal in the island than gold.

QUOTES OF THE MOMENT
I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited —Sylvia Plath
Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the ‘good life,’ whatever it is and wherever it happens to be. —Hunter S. Thompson
