i go through weeks of agitation. nothing tastes right. nothing sounds right. nothing feels right. best described as the mean reds. it coincides with the inability to write, something i typically do religiously (whether i want to or not). i feel as though my mind is constipated with thoughts so frantic to escape, yet so [...]
outside the religious traditions and beliefs, what is the purpose of marriage? is it something that you do to celebrate a committment to your partner and share with all of the people you love? or is it a ritual that is perpetuated by society as ‘what you do’ when you reach a certain age (used [...]

sometimes when you write a letter to someone, you start to feel that you don’t care if anything comes of it. it is really, in many cases, self serving. you have released those words from their box at the back of your brain to float along on the wind. you feel free and relieved at [...]
AUBURN, WA - Radiohead at the White River Amphitheatre outside of Seattle was a bit different than expected. The venue itself is brand new with a very expensive sound system.
