daylight

Matt & Kim - Daylight (Official Music Video) - The funniest videos are a click away

lyrics:

we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight

slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
i'll just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight

and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

yea yeah!

so loud and happy

the terrace

when i left

last sunday

good morning starshine

not photoshopped i swear

nightshade

song of the night

always by pate no. 1

no lyrics this time because i just like the tune. is it just cause i watched dirty dancing again last night or does it really sound like a modern version of "be my baby" by the ronettes?

the natives are restless

this is just to say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

-William Carlos Williams

before going to sleep

date for breakfast

my sunny midnight

on the way to work

my saturday afternoon

i woke up in the evening and stayed out all night. my afternoon was dark and my late night was sunny.

rooftop reverie

after a night of feverish insomnia, i clambered onto the roof and shot one and a half rolls of film and several cell phone shots

here's the theme song for the night:


lyrics:
you're so afraid to lose control,
standing closer when it takes hold
you said, "it feels so good to be right here with you and turned on by her"

I don't want to complicate
making the same mistake,
feeling the room spin around us

on, as the night goes on,
you lead me on and take your time.
wrong, don't get me wrong
and wait too long or we'll come down.

I don't mean to hesitate
now that it's getting late
and everyone's standing around us

the look she gave me said it all
we're coming down now,
we've gone too far

I don't want to complicate
making the same mistake,
feeling the room spin around us

on, as the night goes on
you lead me on and take your time
wrong, don't get me wrong
and wait too long or we'll come down

they fell all around you
now you're all alone, coming down...

le biftek

felt like cooking for my man tonight cause i was in a good mood so i made porterhouse steaks with pico de gallo and rice and salad. my dad joined cause i felt sorry for him but it went very well. i dont know why, but i love this domesticated feeling...

pigeon for dinner?

So i bought myself Culinaria Spain as a present and have started reading it cover to cover. 100 pages in and already i feel bursting with knowledge of cheese, wine, seafood, garlic, and mushrooms. Admittedly, i havent read a book in a while and why i'm reading this one i dont exactly know. After all, it's mainly a cookbook. However, knowing the history of hazelnut harvests in spain versus the middle east adds to the hazelnut eating experience for me, for example. What i really really want is to buy Culinaria caribbean but it's like $75... In Spain there's a recipe for dirty rice that includes among the ingredients a whole pigeon. Can you buy those in NYC? How can you be sure it isnt a street rock dove cause i wouldnt eat one of those if you paid me...

a heart full of napalm

Im a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
Im a runaway son of the nuclear a-bomb
I am a worlds forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys

Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonate for me

Look out honey, cause Im using technology
Aint got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penerate my mind

And Im the worlds forgotten boy
The one whos searchin, searchin to destroy
And honey Im the worlds forgotten boy
The one whos searchin, searchin to destroy

Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said hey forgotten boy

last night on sixth ave

6th ave and west 4th is home to a row of tattoo parlors and the like, comparable to west 8th between 6th and 5th. There is always activity around there (and always cops). Once my friend and i saw a guy who was drinking a beer while he walked get his beer snatched and was up against a building being cuffed thanks to this female cop before he even knew what was going on. It was so quick!

a troll in central park

now i know how it feels to want just a patch of green. i'm regretting having been too lazy to plant tomatoes now that my neighbor took my little corner of the courtyard.

morning in brooklyn

Morning near prospect park after all night partying, i saw a cool cloud.

Le Disko

Shiny Toy Guns

Hello little boys, little toys
We're the dreams you're believing
Crawling up the walls
Running down your face
Razor sharp, razor clean
Feel the weapons sensation
On your back
With loaded guns

Now hold onto me pretty baby
If you want to fly
Im gonna melt the fever sugar
Rolling back your eyes

[Chorus]
We're gonna ride the race cars
We're gonna dance on fire
We're the girls Le Disko
Supersonic overdrive

So whats it gonna take,
Silver shadow believer?
Spock rocker with your dirty eyes
Its a chance gonna move
Gonna fuck up your ego
Silly boy gonna make you cry

Now hold onto me pretty baby
If you want to fly
Im gonna melt the fever sugar
Rolling back your eyes

[chorus 2x]

If what they say is true
Youre a boy, and Im a girl
I will never fall in love with you

[chorus 3x]

dawn in deep brooklyn

I've gotten more and more used to seeing the sun come up these days but usually from the comfort of a bed.

the end of the party

This was the end of Rachel's house party. Despite a few unsavory characters and incidents, i had a decent time.

east side dawn

Dawn over east manhattan. Instead of going to sleep, i got a phone call and went to brooklyn.
