For The Time Being

“…alone, reviewing my words or deeds soberly, the sense of being cut off always took possession of me. ‘They don’t know me,’ I would say to myself. And by this I meant that they knew me neither for myself nor for what I might become. They were impressed by the mask. I didn’t call it that, but that is how I thought of my ability to impress others. It was not me doing it, but a persona which I knew how to put on. It was something, indeed, which anyone with a little intelligence and a flair for acting could learn to do. Monkey tricks, in other words. Yet, though I regarded these performances in this light, I myself at times would wonder if perhaps it was not me, after all, who was behind these antics.” (Nexus, H.M.)

Favorite authors. Favorite artists. Music that moves me. A few girlie things.

A friend came over one day and casually mentioned that she’d never shot a man nude before.. It’d been something that both excited and intimidated me deeply. An hour later, we’d filled her camera’s memory card.

When someone speaks he looks at a mouth, not eyes and their colours, which, it seems to him, will always alter depending on the light of a room, the minute of the day. Mouths reveal insecurity or smugness or any other point on the spectrum of character. For him they are the most intricate aspect of faces. He’s never sure what an eye reveals. But he can read how mouths darken into callousness, suggest tenderness. One can often misjudge an eye from its reaction to a simple beam of sunlight.

From The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje 

I look at mouths too, more than eyes.

James Blake - I Am Sold


I was having a hard time trying to figure out which of these songs to upload…but I settled on this guy as I like it quite a bit! 

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst


Don’t know why I haven’t already tumbled something from this album! It’s been a gym jam for a while. This one’s good, and quite long. 

I have begun a passionate love affair.

The sweet self-scrutiny has brought me together

In a series of caresses and humming, a series

of soft songs. Concern and

Possessiveness and affection and

Sensitivity are all there.

There are bumps and dimples,  

bruises and hair in this affair. 

.

I have begun a gentle love affair

With many people, all at once.

Their bodies weave neatly into

a nest to which I am bound by blood,

time, place and experience, the bindings

growing stronger as I nourish and prune

them, force them with the wind, pull

them taut for strumming

and support.

.

 I have begun a charged love affair

with strength and muscle, slope and

jiggle and curve. When we meet it is

dynamic and it walks and talks and it

laughs and sings.

The place we come together dances and

Breathes and lies quiet.

Forgive me the distance.

Forgive me, I cannot contain

My smiling body. I have fallen in love with myself which

Only means I can love you even more.
