Durango…is awesome.

I wish I had more time to spend here. I also wish my shitty hotel (Holiday Inn) actually had an internet connection that worked. So I’ve been taking notes on things to blog about, taking some cool pictures, and I return to my room with no way to actually access my blog. Bastards.

I’m sitting on the patio at Homeslice Pizza, listening to these hippie stoner kids blather mindlessly about their bullshit interests. It’s all about the energy, man. Totally groovy. And so fucking fake. They’re all acting faux-stoned…and that annoys the shit out of me.

A guy rode by on his bike, “Hey Homeslice…” and the stoner kids replied “Yeah, hey kid on the bike.” Fucking gag me.

“That show was so killer, dude.”

“Dude, there was no good music between like 1990 and like 2004.”

Ahhhh bastards.

I spend most of tomorrow on an airplane, so we’ll see when I actually get a chance to put my wonderful thoughts into words.

The kind you find in a secondhand store.

Two light leaks, double exposure. It’s a hot mess…yet I like it.

Looking good, Billy Ray. Feeling good, Louis!

We’ll get away with it. We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius. We’re the heirs to the glimmering world.

Interesting things like this never happen in my neighborhood.

This is where I do my xmas shopping.

Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all. Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all. Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved. Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

Double exposure (I’m an idiot) mixing WW1 Museum building with pinhole shot of Kansas City skyline. It was so far overexposed – this is what I could pull back with the scanning software.

I see the crane.

The crane sees me.

“I can make you scared, if you want me to. I’m not prepared, but if I have to. I can make you scared, it’s kind of what I do. If you’re prepared, here’s what I propose to do.”

I don’t know what makes this so funny to me.  It’s…just…perfect.

Didn’t anybody tell you that this river is full of lost sharks?

I don’t have a mullet. I swear.

“I think people tend to forget that trees are living creatures. They’re sort of like dogs. Huge, quiet, motionless dogs, with bark instead of fur.”

“Sure he’s a snooper, but aren’t we all? I’ll bet you that nine out of ten people, if they see a woman across the courtyard undressing for bed, or even a man puttering around in his room, will stay and look; no one turns away and says, ‘It’s none of my business.'”

“I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”
