the way of the world

"There is light enough for those who wish to see," wrote French philosopher Blaise Pascal, "and darkness enough for those of the opposite disposition." This is something that exists in everyone's alignment with themselves and with the collective whole and so it should not "be remembered" it should be returned to. More than ever before, what you choose to focus on will come rushing in to meet you, touch you, teach you, and prompt you to respond. Even if all the smart people you know seem to be drunk on the darkness, I encourage you to be a brave rebel who insists on equal time for the light.

Back in LA



I tell you, las Vegas is one demanding mistress! It feels so good to be back ... back to the familiar. Still, living in LA is not without its unexpected turns. Lets just be satisfied that the apartment is still standing.

WORDS AS WEAPONS

HOW TO: STUN THEM

Look famous, be legendary. Appear complex, act easy. Radiate presence, travel light. Seem a dream, prove real.

SHE

This is the girl who taught me everything i know. Particularly, about what it is to be fearless. What it is to fall. What it takes, to fly. Sal, all I want to say here is that it's so great that you're coming out to the States to conclude this year. I know that it has been an absolute trial by fire but you are through it and with such a "man on fire" sense of yourself and what you want out of life. All that I see when I look at you is someone caught alight with desire. So have an incredible 22 and let those desires lead you. Nothing defines us like our vices, right? Who was that? C.S Lewis? Wilde? One of them understood that it was their "weaknesses" that made them. anyway, get yourself out here.

I need a girlfriend who looks like Axl Rose

ACNE  The classic Pistol in a mini

When we were at the ACNE store we were told that they've shipped all of the shoes back because there had been problems with the production - something with the zipper. I PI NE. The height of the heel makes them perfect for everyday use and they have a classic look that makes them last for years and years.

Desiderata
--------------------------------------------------------------
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and dis-enchantement, it is as perrenial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

broken text

when you wake up there are cops downstairs and your hands begin to shake even though you know everything will be okay, nothing that bad will ever happen to you.
