“You cannot run a community if you’re not informed. Journalism is really the act of informing communities so that they can make better decisions, that is part of the public service, informing communities so that together we can know where else we need to help.”
“Journalism will survive the death of its institutions, and that means journalists will survive, but...

(Just Personal Notes on Human Evolution)
Things I learned have helped make humans evolve uniquely:
*Ultimately it seems not one particular adaptation that favored homosapien survival, but rather our ability to rapidly adapt to repeated and radical climate change.
*Walking upright
*Shorter arms then chimps
*Longer, thinner legs
*Smaller guts: leaner
*Loss of body hair to keep body cooler then other African mammals so hunting in the ...

failure to change address
dear Love, “take me in your arms tonight, so i can take my rest” sings the radio. I wanted to pause. I feel as if my limbs were severed from my body and my whole being is aching for you. So I am here. speeding, exhaustion, hallucinating. I stumble up the stairs. Black cats, hundreds jumping. unlatch the door. tiny black solider ants munching. on a surreal fish skin, left over last...

Artless Bliss
When I fell in love I stopped writing so much, I stopped blogging, I stopped trying to find new music to listen to, and I stopped drinking the little bit that I did. :I think some of these things will come back to me in time, but for now I’m in more of an artless bliss.

extra special bonus points
Very much in the mind set for writing this afternoon this morning this week even. both personal and professional i adopted some sort of new mantra yesterday; in honor of Kaci adopting a new mantra, naturally. Mine is well I haven’t found the words yet. But lubrication don’t be crass now, I’m speaking strictly business business of all kinds and mostly the monkey varieties...

sleep deprived happy
What a woman really wants, is what is a nap my eyes are so sleepy my work not even broached
she wants an easiness in the day to day time together she wants the attention and compliments of many the loyalty of one one who will appreciate her for all that she is and all that she is not who will only be attracted to other women when she isn’t present to sense it be interested and dedicated to...
and I won't say
that my favorite times are at the end, watching the sky breath from the top
that I don’t mind the long drives where we dig into each other’s bigger thoughts, in memories, dreams, confessions, philosphical ponderings
that I notice you strewn out sound asleep wearing next to nothing with your pelvis wrapped in my sheets
that I prefer the sounds of the floor boards creaking when I know...

company
I go one day away from your disappointing presence, and I am feeling free. I am released from the painfully slow torture of wasting my time with you, making small talk because your big talk is buried so far below the surface with no signs of surfacing. day two: longing for your company. sad sinking heart broken at what must be at least partially contributed to my own inadequicies. Boredom?...
dinner choices
I stumble into the chaos of a super capitalist, super variety, super imported gourmet grocery store in suburban white new money plaza central. My stomach aches and the pre-made dishes filling in the hot buffet lines entice me with smells and colors of every flavor of trendy dining nationalities.
no. don’t waste your money girl. there are unmade creations waiting to be discovered in your...
oh, don't go jumping off a bridge!
When you kiss me I always walk away biting the tip of my tongue where metal should roll over taste buds and one swift suck on my bottom lip seems to finish the sentence you were working on pre-collaborative mixing stage…“My music is where I’d like you to touch!”

shell shocked
parts: (I’m lack luster stuck) everyone is asking. what is there? what is there? everything and nothing (fleeting and infinite) -getting out of ROC -Rt:6 drive out -the class -The end -Havasu -Ryan -Wyoming & the drive home It’s a parts thing to tell it laterally… but days, to break it down to those moments is really how to know…
home & home & home & home
I mean, yeah sure, there’s a lot that has happened. There’s a lot that has shifted; I don’t know when any attempt at unique and my own kind of cool ceased and comfortable just happened, but I like it.
Welcome home baby.
My new place smells like sweet spicy garden fresh cooking and old wood house. It’s so reassuring. Erin brought us up some of her homemade batch of hippy...

rain dance! rain dance! rain dance!
I watched the wind hassle the tree leaves for attention all afternoon. I knew it was coming. I knew it would arrive in the evening late late late. I fall asleep in sheer exhaustion. My body simply dropping in it’s tracks while on the line with the boy vying for title of lover. I left the top open on the Jeep. I knew it would rain, but it’s like putting a puppy in a tiny caged box. You...
What is a Road Trip anyways?
To me a road trip has become a system of chaos in which I pack for as best I can and then proceed to break down all exterior norms and forms of comfort in order to re-asses values, priorities, modes of thinking. By immersing oneself in strange/ unfamiliar environments you must put into question all the details about how your familiar environment operates. A road trip means packing, traveling...

Seduction not Instruction
We play that game where I describe the intricacies of my senses colliding with my cognitive state. I am watching.

This House Did Not Destroy Itself
If this doesn’t bother you, you’re not seeing it. New Rule: don’t photograph what you don’t understand. A liability. 2nd New Rule: Don’t walk away from what you don’t understand. Poverty is overwhelming. This is my problem, whether I asked for it or not. The by-product of living in fear “Fear Not of Man” This is where you live? You mean...
People Skills?
It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s fine. I don’t dislike doctors. I appreciate their work, but so many are horrible with people and I feel violated every time I have to interact with one. I am numb. numb. numb. Please don’t let me see the doctor alone. Please don’t leave me alone with this man. Can’t we have a conversation about this? I could never spend my time with a heartless bastard such as you old...
thankful
for 69’ on the beginning of my new year, for sun, for a fresh stock up of vitamin D, for US Postal Service, for family love, friend love, room mate love, long distance love, long term love, for lemonade, for homemade vegan cake baking attempts, for JS & TJ, for free bagels, for yellow dresses, for plans to look forward to, the Format, for finishing the pink problem, for rental bikes, for...
"Please Protect Me From What I Want"
One doesn’t hear about men killing other men very often, only men killing strangers. You photograph what you know: you are sharing. You photograph what you don’t understand: you are exploiting.
