showing some love corner





About 7yrs and I'm still floored. Not only is Tod one of the most amazing photographers I know, but he is also one of the most selfless and kind individuals I have had the pleasure of being friends with. No really. One of the few people that will let me ask a million questions (ones I'm positive he gets on the regular), and still answers each one in depth and with a sparkle in his eye. This guy lives like every day is the first day of summer. They just don't make them like this anymore.

trickle music

This evening I had a choice between
1) ATL old school prefusion music
2) Portland popoprock

Picked Portland

Then I heard this when I came home:
thang thang
by low top lee

a. whigs wise words



"...Baby you can open your eyes now
And please allow me to present you with a clue
If I inflict the pain
Then baby only I can comfort you
Out of the night we come
And into the night we go
If it starts to hurt you
Then you have to say so"

woodward way gang

so sick. throat is drier than a pair of my suede riding chaps that have been up in the attic for 5yrs with moth balls--- dry.

my bro is slowly inching in to being apart of this blog-o-rhythm. Here is his first contribution, other than an after thought comment:



I love this video - reminds me of riding around buckhead when I was 11-13 on
my hutch trickstar freestyle bike ...

kudzu i miss you

on the fence





I saw this Blonde Redhead video about 2 months ago on the RVCA ANP blog. A quintessential Mike Mills piece, utterly simple and a bit heartbreaking. I appreciate the gesture this video makes, like the first time that boy you really really like slips his fingers through yours to hold your hand, and for a split second it's pure electric magic.
So, the reason I'm on the fence with this video even after the aforementioned prepubescent first love reminiscence... I feel as if I've been taken or it's a hoax. It's toooo simple, it's too heartbreaking, it's too contrived of an emotion. Much like lying on your back hanging off your bed when you call in sick to work, so that you sound more sick/throaty. Plus, I've had a hard time deciphering if it's real or cgi. Any takers out there for validating it's authenticity both in emotion an/or digital effects?
