Notice: This blog contains images that I have manipulated in some shape, way, or form. I will be posting various composites I make in CS6, shots of new steeze I copped, and music from my iTunes. When I post a song, i'll include an excerpt above it of the lyric that is relevant to me at the moment it is being written. This will be the only frequent exception to me posting original work; in that respect, I'll be sure to give the musician the credit he/she/they deserve(s). I'm a nineteen-year-old kid and as I figure out what I want to do with my life I want to have a place to compile all aspects of my alternative lifestyle. The content below is not to be associated with my personal views and should be viewed as artistic rather than being mislabeled as otherwise.

16:51"Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it’s easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you’re the only one…who didn’t run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in “the long run”
Or as in having given someone a “run for his money”
Or as in “running out of time”
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will ever be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you’re going to see me run soon and because you’re going to know why I’m running then
You’ll know then
Because I’m not going to tell you now" —

Jamie XX & Gil Scott Heron / / / We’re New Here / / Running

I posted the lyrics to the song two posts below because I heard this song spun unhooked on vinyl at Coachella this year and it absolutely blew my mind!
16:46 Lyrics to Running by Jamie XX (the song under this post): Because I always feel like running Not away, because there is no such place Because, if there was I would have found it by now Because it’s easier to run, Easier than staying and finding out you’re the only one…who didn’t run Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described As in “the long run” Or as in having given someone a “run for his money” Or as in “running out of time” Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will ever be cause for that Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it Not running for my life, because I have to be running from something of more value to be running and not in fear Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from, Not without showing the fear as I see it now Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer Because of you and because of that nice That you quietly, quickly be causing And because you’re going to see me run soon and because you’re going to know why I’m running then You’ll know then Because I’m not going to tell you now Note: Picture was not created by me I found it on the interwebz but I thought it went well with the song.

Air & Lack Thereof by James Blake
06:50 I did this guy for my Nature and Imagination class… it is supposed to represent the sublimity of nature. I took the landscape shot in Tahoe, California, overlooking Squaw Valley Ski Resort. It’s a beautiful place that truly was sublime, for me at least ;)
03:42"But if this is real then I was mistaken
And the vision fades as quickly as it came
Consistency like that which I have craved
Is that people change so unexpectedly
And realization finds you in a drunken airport
Some planes depart and others never arrived
So with this in mind I don’t plan on waiting
If its time to leave and break these old ties" —
