Wildly Alone.

These are some pictures that my bff/musical partner in crime, James and I, took of each other during a visit to the Morrison caves. He has left to Arizona without much warning. I am missing his guitar, piano and intellectual outbursts. I am dying to belt out my sorrows. I have been feeling rather alone. I am simultaneously accepting and rebelling my loneliness. I have been realizing that perhaps I should always be alone, because in fact we are always alone. Locked away inside of our bodies.  And that no one will probably ever really know or understand me. But then I have been listening to all these hopeless love songs. I am so romantically lonely. Smoking cigarettes as I drive around town to 'You Always Hurt the Ones You Love' or Elvis singing 'Love Me Tender' as he is clearly strung out...me and my sentiment together forever and entirely alone.

Buried in Water.

I had to post this song. It is so haunting and gorgeous and waltzy and creepy and everything I love.

Fresh start. This new year.

Going to go mad this year, in a good way.

The View Master.

 

These are my photos that I had put into my Viewmaster for the art show. 

Enjoy.

Pretty in Pink.

So I was recently a part of a great art show, Boobs in Bars: In Examination from Head to Toe and Somewhere in Between. The proceeds went to Keep A Breast to help the good fight against breast cancer. The show was on Saturday, and was a smashing success. Djs, body painting, LA premiere of the Viewmaster Installation. I had a Viewmaster in the show and I showed a graphic art piece. Thought I'd share some snippets of the evening...

Rose Colored Glasses.

There is something in the air. There is something in the water. There is something happening. I feel it. I just want to run full speed, screaming, pumping my fists in the air-be the warrior. I have been spending as much time as possible outdoors. I have been sick the last week, daydreaming of getting out for a nice hike. I took this picture a couple weeks ago on a hike with some friends. I just find this picture so inspiring, it lights my fire. The dusky sun setting over flaring up in the fields. Just reminds me that anything is possible, today ends, but then we get a new one tomorrow. Keep reaching. Keep fighting. Keep believing. Be unstoppable like the sun. Ascending in my orbit everyday. 

On a slight tangent, I have been wearing my rose-tinted sunglasses everyday. I wish that is what the world really looked like. I don't want to take them off EVER.

Here are some other fun hike photos.

Le Bateleur.

I have been feeling really wild lately. Restless, ready to get loose. Dusting that dirt off my shoulder. I can't tell if I am running towards something or away from something...I have always been one to move full speed ahead. Don't think twice. Following your gut doesn't usually leave you with any regret. I do know I'm moving, I'm grooving, ready to get high and ready to get down. Eyes to the sky, feeling like a feather in the breeze. I'm itching for something but I don't know what it is yet. Trying to enjoy the journey and not thinking about the destination. I'll end up where I'll end up. Until then I am taking in all of the view.

 After all I am the magician.

Break On Through to the Other Side.

Down the winding path...this way...

The twinkling city lights like our long lost village in the distance....

Get Reborn.

So this last weekend I went to the Jim Morrison Caves with some friends in Malibu Canyon somewhere, it was quite the journey. We received directions via text message that ended with "Look for my car on the side of the road after about 20 minutes..." Luckily we did find her car and the caves....it was amazing....can't wait to go back. Next time I have to go before sunset so I can get some more photos.

100% Chance of Sun & Rain.

Woman in Blonde Wig: Somehow I've become very cautious. When I put on a raincoat, I put on sunglasses too. Who knows when it will rain, or when it will turn out sunny.

I have been obsessed with Wong Kar Wai's "Chungking Express for sometime now.

Cop663:You like noisy music?  

Faye:Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.
Cop 663:You don't like to think? What do you like?  

Faye: Never thought about it.

He Zihwu, Cop 223: Somehow everything comes with an expiry date. Swordfish expires. Meat sauce expires. Even cling-film expires. Is there anything in the world which doesn't?

Cop663: Did I leave the tap running, or is the apartment getting more tearful? I always thought it would cope okay. Didn't expect it to cry so much. When people cry, they can dry their eyes with tissues. But when an apartment cries, it takes a lot to mop it up. 

 I just love the film...it has a pulse. I love the song "Baroque", composed by Michael Galasso and "Things in Life" by the Jamaican reggae singer Dennis Brown.
