let's be honest



“We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.”

Welcome to my world, she said.

21/11/09. Picked this beautiful lady up from the train station yesterday night after 7 months of not seeing her, and she as always looked straight out of the 50s with her light blue ”hat bag” that we had to drag around the city. This picture of her is probably my favourite that I’ve taken in a while — captures her so perfectly.

20/11/09. Shot this beautiful lady late into my birthday last night… I forgot how satisfying shooting other people can be.

Heading to some party in Humboldt Park called the ‘rape cave.’

If I am not tumblrin’ in the next few days, it’s been swell.

Wow! That’s a horridly disgusting name for a party. No offense to you, sunbeamsinmasonjars, but that name is truly wrong on so many levels.

Apparently, this is what 20 looks like. Happy birthday to me. :)

Because I like lists and I like Maroo

Things I Love Most About Maroo:

  1. ATM! [I had to because it leads into my next point]
  2. Her complete willingness to open her home up to two almost-strangers and let them live in her space for 4 glorious days.
  3. Her laugh.
  4. The way she is passionate about everything she believes in and her willingness to reasonably listen to other points of view.
  5. Her genuine talent as a photographer.
  6. The way it always comes back to ‘That’s What She Said!’
  7. Her persistence.
  8. Her bravery in moving across the world to go to school to pursue a degree she wants.
  9. Her unabashed love for things that aren’t “cool.”
  10. Her big, giant heart!

SO! Happy Champagne Birthday. Whatever you decide to do, I hope it’s exactly what you want to be doing! XOXO

I love you so freakin’ much. I don’t even know anymore! I seriously don’t deserve you guys. Thank you for being able to come up with 10 things that don’t include “she’s a douchebag”. And for the record, I’m going on an ATM strike until you drag your ass back here. I miss you way too much already.

The Beatles – In My Life

In honour of my dearest Maroopiepooie’s birthday, I’m declaring that today is Beatles-only day on my iPhone.

So, darling, for you.

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

How the fuck did I end up with the best friends in the world? I’ll never know. All of you are going to just reduce me to a big puddle of grateful tears. I love you so much, Kathypoopie, and I’m so glad to have you in my life. You’re too good to me, always, always.

To a very special person..

dailypressure:

I would like to sit down, just for five minutes, to write about something special. Someone special.
Those who really knows me, knows about the friend who will always be in my heart. The true best friend. She is just amazing, and so honest. Sometimes, I dont even know what to say. She is beyond this world, and something so unique.. I dont think there is anyone like here. Not at all. There is something about her, that stands out, i cant exactly put my finger on it. But she is so real, and so.. like i mentioned, honest. Not one of those “omg did you know you have a zit on your nose?” but one of those with their own opinions, STRONG opinions, that doesnt back down. This bitch will break you. And what a fabolous way to be broken.
So, Happy birthday Marwa. Each year becomes more and more precious. Here’s to a fantastic five years of friendship, and to me coming to you this summer.

(hey this sounds like a movie)
I really hope you have a birthday deserving of your awesomeness. I dont think there is a way of that happening cause.. lets face it.

You’re the awesome. ily.

Holy shit. I just saw this and you made me cry almost instantly. I love you so much and can honestly say I have no clue in the world why I deserve a friendship like yours. Can’t wait for you to be here, my honeybunches. We’re going to break the world with our combined levels of “The Shit”. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for always believing in me. It means more to me than you’ll ever know.

Yep, it’s true.

Yep, it’s true.

First of all, let me say Congratulations to the new happy couple.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system - how fucking dare you people who are mocking this? How cynical and hateful have we become?? Okay, so it’s not something that you would do, but how dare you take anything away from one of the most important days in their lives? How many of you know them personally? Maybe that’s perfect for them. Considering I know a handful of you met your significant other, not only through the internet, but most of you through tumblr, it’s pretty snotty of you to judge this.

With all the bullshit in the world you should feel ecstatic for anyone that has some moment of happiness.

Good fucking day to all of you.

Agreed. I couldn’t have put it better. Now I’m not saying anything else about this. Unless someone pisses me off. Don’t piss me off.

it’s not that serious. reallllly, it’s not. who cares. they’re happy, the end.

LEAVE JUSTIN ALONE!!!!!!

It was cute, but it’s the Internet. The line between cute and sarcastic-meme-worthy was blurred even before lolcatz happened.

Oh man, why am I still talking about this? I hope it’s not the new Kanye.

Laughed. A lot. This guy needs to stop being awesome.

The Academy Is… - In the Rearview

I was feeling just content enough to forget you. I’ve found skeletons grow stronger when kept from the light. I would rather die than admit that I don’t know, don’t know. You would rather be alone than admit you were wrong.

Someone fly me out to wherever these dudes are playing on my birthday. I know I just saw them for the fourth time in what, a couple of years? But I can’t get enough. This is the kind of show I want to be at over and over and over again. There are so many shit bands out there that just get shittier. It feels good to find one that doesn’t disappoint.
