I Just Needed to Vent

So I spent…

Magnus Muhr

A photographer from Karlskoga, Sweden whose primary occupation is caring for the mentally ill. That alone gives him points according to my criterion.

This is just fun…

Open Discussion

Over time, do even the brightest of diamonds lose their shine in the eyes of the ones who possess them?

It seems as though this is unfortunately unavoidable no matter how hard one tries to obtain something, once they get it, they end up taking it for granted.

Hit me with your responses folks.

Hey! Daniel Johnston – UK FED

Friday (Oct. 16) was the first time in a long time that I actually got emotional during a show. This genius of a man, who’s been playing longer than I’ve been alive, really gets you here (violently grasping the fabric of my t-shirt over my heart). I have so much respect for Daniel Johnston and remarkably (or perhaps not so) on Friday at the Ukrainian Federation, the air was thick with that sense of respect towards this person that is shared by all. His set was immaculate and it was definitely interesting to see him with a band and not all by his lonesome. I am sure I speak for many when I say he is an immense source of inspiration in more ways than one.

He performed a cover of The Beatles’ “You’ve got to Hide your Love Away” and my eyes filled. This song happens to be my favorite of theirs so I couldn’t believe it. “True Love Will Find you in the End” was equally amazing… And I’m happy I was able to share such an incredible experience with my Love who enjoyed it as much as I did. Moments like these are great to look back on when you’re old and grey.

A Day in the Life (Thanksgiving Edition)

Pill, Pill Come my Way...

Get me through an other day.

Where Have all the Good Values Gone?

Have we left them all with our grandparents?
Has our society conditioned us to have the need for constant change, for abundance and for things to always be within an arm’s length grasp?
Is trust becoming obsolete in this world where one’s personal interests are one’s only priorities? Where we would not give the shirt off our backs to someone in need, but snatch a shirt off some vulnerable prey.
Is compassion being numbed by the expansion of technology, subsequently causing the slow isolation and retreat of humans to the glow of their monitors?
In our disposable culture, where whatever we dispose of can be replaced within the hour, have we begun to view people as disposable?
If we are not happily married anymore, do we find it easier to simply put our spouse on a shelf while we play elsewhere? Or perhaps we can even dispose of them altogether!
Has this become our new way of dealing with issues, rather than putting in the “manual” effort and time to fix things?
Have we become lazy due to the “button effect”?

Sadly, I believe so...
