Why it's cool that people are always taking photos...
lately, I’ve taken fewer and fewer photos at big events. Everyone else is documenting everything all the time — and likely, way better, so I don’t need to. I kinda love that. I can just take photos when I absolutely feel inspired. For example. This guy’s view point of the My Morning Jacket show at Williamsburg Park tonight was way better than mine. All I had to do was search...
My nose is a faucet.
When I’m sick, even when it’s just a cold, I’m very weary of anything I put in my body. Everything that hasn’t been boiled, or dipped in boiling water, seems suspect.
