the secret by jeffrey mcdaniel
When you were sleeping on the sofa I put my ear to your ear and listened to the echo of your dreams. That is the ocean I want to dive in, merge with the bright fish, plankton and pirate ships. I walk up to people on the street that kind of look like you and ask them the questions I would ask you. Can we sit on a rooftop and watch stars dissolve into smoke rising from a chimney? Can I swing like...

There would be a Sonar date announced less than a week after I buy tickets to see them in Long Island. Fuck that, I’ll go to both.
Okay, I couldn’t fathom going all the way down to Williamsburg for them (I was busy anyway), but why not spend the first week of my second decade belting out the lyrics to seventy times 7 in Baltimore, amIright? But for...

How to Kiss a Stranger →
tweexcore:
“It’s such an impossibly romantic idea: in my mind it happened like this. I’d walk down the street and catch the eye of the cute boy coming in the opposite direction. We’d smile, and in that moment there would be something, magic. Then I’d be brave and bold and stop him, say hello, grab him and kiss him, and walk away with a smile permanently fixed to my face.
When the boy started...
I Am The Anonymous Model →
“This is not to say that I didn’t enjoy modeling. In point of fact, what kept me in the industry for so long was the constant contact with lovely women, smart women, talented women, hard-working women, inspiring women, women of the sort I wanted to grow up to be. (I met some nice men, too, but, in this industry, there are just fewer of them — fashion is a powerful global business that...

I read this, and was like, “this is the end of an era that’s already ended.” At least he’s sort of going gracefully into the night with this. Sort of. PS: I tried, but the only thing I can get behind with the Mystic Valley Band is “Cape Canaveral.” There, I said it.
When I said I was devastated about The Early November breaking up, I may have been slightly...

Understandably, I am devastated despite my recent dismissal of nostalgia for the old new jersey music scene. It was obviously an act because I am literally crying as I listen to their EP in my newly unearthed the early november hoodie. It’s 2002 and I have just learned how to use eyeliner and I am wearing a huge black hoodie, tight jeans, a studded belt and black vans. One of our...

SARAH KANE IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PLAYWRIGHT AND ONE OF HER PLAYS IS BEING PERFORMED AT DC’S FRINGE FESTIVAL! First of all, I love fringe festivals and I am dying to go to Edinburgh’s, but I can’t believe I am actually gonna catch one of Kane’s plays at one. I guess this would be the only venue for her plays, but holy man I am so excited! Just pre-ordered my ticket for...
