Today we were mesmerized and bound to each other by a force greater than god himself. There is a yearning in her eyes that pulls me closer and closer. I’ll forever answer to that call.
Heard from an old neighbor that my old house has finally been occupied (Not by disgruntled protesters, but by a family). I wonder if all the emotions that were lived in my room will seep out of the walls and make contact with the member that sleeps in it. I couldn’t tell you everything that happened in there and even if I started I’d just be repeating myself. I’d like to think...

It is a sick coincidence, that out of all the people in this world, our paths would bring us here. Our entire existence has been leading us to this moment; every step, every choice, has molded our destiny into bringing us here. Think of all the people who have influenced you for better or worse- there was a time when they were nonexistent in our memory. No face, happiness, or pain to attach to a...
It is not for me to say what is real and what is not as I am not the master of this universe, but this creator, this origin, has endowed within us all the ability to question, to let our minds wander and stretch and think about what lies or does not lie past the visible realms of our world. There is a universal force that travels through the wind, is heard in the flowing of water, seen standing...
Even the most infamous of war criminals were once just a bundle of fragile bone and tender skin. We’re all born helpless, without any motor control over our actions, unable to so much as even feed ourselves without the help of our mother. They say we’re not born equal, but we are. Even the healthiest of newborns is completely incompetent. No matter where you go, regardless of country,...
We close our eyes when it hurts. Throw our heads back and an expression of pain takes over our faces. It’s the simplest of coping mechanisms. To distance ourselves from the situation. If we can’t see the reality of it, we can command our limbs to push through longer. And yet, it’s strangely gratifying; when we’re in this state we feel elevated - because no one forced us to...
I’m okay without writing about it this time around because I’ve captured this moment forever. Maybe words can describe the gentle curve of her body or the way her hair comes to softly rest on her collar bone with the necklace I bought her shining brightly in between, but a picture is so much more precise.
Now that 2011 is over, here is a list of my favorite records from that year:
Deafheaven - Roads to Judah
Cold Cave - Cherish the Light Years
Metronomy - The English Riviera
M83 - Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming
Opeth - Heritage
The end. Naturally, the number of great albums released within the past twelve months is not limited to this list, but these five are the few that I could lose...
New Bleeding Through, new Every Time I Die - the first part of 2012 looks good so far. What else is coming out?

Grecia: I’m raising my kids on a native American reserve
Me: so they can worship logs and eagles?
Grecia: better than them worshipping iPhones
All these good bands from the 2000s are disbanding and/or losing key members and it’s just like, at this rate I’m going to end up listening to like five artists because I have the pickiest taste in music and I want those bands to keep making awesome records like they used to. But things happen for a reason and perhaps its time to listen to different things. It’s not like those...
There is nothing so delicate and beautiful as her.
