We Don't Say.
"You don't even know me
But I don't even care
I'm not there.
Some things
Are Hard To Say To You.
& We wish this was easy But life isn't fair.
Some things.
Are Hard To Say
To You.

Must see.
"I want a perfect soul"
This just looks like its going to be good. I remember logging on to facebook in 2005, with my Columbia College Email address and having the option of ONE picture, there were no videos, no status's, just a place to load your info and post on peoples walls. Now look at us, all grown up.
Office Space.
From The Cool Hunter:Luckily, creative people have started to think up solutions to meet the very clear need of cool working spaces for mobile workers. Urban Station in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has taken the best of both office and coffee shop and wrapped it all up in a funky urban space.

Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Michael. Thank you for being the greatest.
To this day, no matter how low I am, "Rock with you" still manages to lift me up. Then entirety of "Off the wall" has that feeling to it. "Thriller" is one of greatest pop albums ever made. Michael's magic was in his ability to make all of his music, and all of his moments, timeless.

Miss Jane.
Just a quick Thank you, to everyone who's downloaded the mixtape so far (or just checked out a few songs.) I appreciate all of the support, more than you guys know. After all, I'm working to be better for you guys, and the fact that your still on this journey with me shows that we're headed in the right direction. Thanks for being apart of this movement. Forward Motion.
Tit 4 Tat.
Tit 4 Tat.
Give me your heart.
Don't hesitate to hand me your soul
She says to me.
To place inside this trophy case
full of those that fell before.
I've reserved a space for you there. On the floor.
You'll have to work your way up.
But I'll help you get higher.
If you give me your fears.
Tears and desires.
Take a look and admire what your soon to become.
We've all assumed your the one.
She says to me.
Does that make you the oracle.
I say to her.
As you promise me nights in the sun.
And days on the run from the known.
Where we can choose to be alone
or together.
and I to be now or forever
just depends on the path I choose to travel.
Afraid that you just want to walk along side to watch me unravel.
She says to me.
Give me your thoughts.
Your todays and tomorrow.
Drown your sorrows on my table and rest your head.
I say to her
If I do than I'm dead.
And tomorrow you'll bury me instead.
Much to young for a funeral, so we live.
With a heavy heart, but a heart none the less
With much to confess but that will come in time.
Somewhere in a rhyme after I've built what is mine.
She says to me
Don't mistake me for hate.
Or greed, your misplaced wants and needs
I am.
Just place yourself inside of my hands
and land.
But I know it's not apart of the plan.
and Even if I wanted to,
I'm not sure that I can.
I say to her.
Spanish Sahara.

Stumbled onto this, watching Entourage. Not mad at the discovery. Not in the slightest........

A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.

Inception.
I made the song before I saw that incredible movie, I was going to put it on -PURPLE- but it just didn't make the cut. Still one of my favorites......

Small Talk.........
It's been a while.
Far too long you say to me.
Waiting faithfully for my return, so sure that I would.
and I have.
Head still held high with eyes lower then when I left.
Awkward steps we set once again into motion.
As I stare deep into that all familiar ocean
and drown.
In search of everything that's pulling me down.
So as to make my way back.
To you.
Excuse my exploration.

Being First.........
From Lefsetz:
Being First
News. That you want to know about when it happens. But art? Can one only appreciate the Mona Lisa if you were around during Leonardo da Vinci’s era?
In the last century, in the era of broadcasting, it was all about getting the message out. Now, most people ignore the message. Or there’s a weak link between the message and the ultimate consumer.
In other words, if you’re making fun of people for being late to the party you’re evidencing you’re not really living in the twenty first century, you like it the way it used to be, when there was little art and you could see every movie and know every record on the "Billboard" chart, when the world was instantly comprehensible to those paying attention.
Now most are paying attention. Just to different things.
An album enters the chart at number one and is then forgotten. In the old days, the cultural impact would produce a long tail that would last for months. Now, it only lasts for a week.
In other words, when your album comes out, the work is just beginning. It’s not about the first week’s sales, but how you can spread the word.
And it all happens slowly.
Until suddenly, in some cases, it happens quickly. That’s the power of the Web, if something catches fire, it can be turned into a conflagration overnight, just about everyone can truly know about it. But then it is usually forgotten, like the movies that opened last weekend. In other words, if you’re creating art for maximum instant impact, you’re playing it wrong. You’ve got to create art that lasts for the long haul, that sounds as good three years from now as it does today, because that’s when much of the audience may finally hear it.
Old media, mainstream media, the movie studios and major labels, are all about creating impact today, deriving revenues today. And most of what they sell only generates revenue today. And all of it reaches fewer people. The reason albums no longer go ten times platinum isn’t primarily because of theft, but because there are too many options, and this you cannot change.
So, if you’re one of these options… Second to creating your art doesn’t come marketing, but perseverance. Can you create something so good that people will still be discovering it years out? Can you hang in there, forgo graduate school, still create until a mass of fans catch up with you?
Even though fiber optics allow us to send messages around the globe instantly, most are ignored, or the target audience is unaware of them. But when you’re at a friend’s house for dinner, or when a trusted source sends you a link, you might finally come on board, you might finally get it.
Just like I finally got Amy Winehouse on a boat ride in Ibiza. I was relaxed enough, the sun was shining, the album was playing and I got it. Criticize me, but you’re missing the point. It’s not about my lack of cool, it’s about something so good that it still has life years later so I can finally get it!
I constantly get e-mailed articles and videos that in some cases I’ve read or seen YEARS before. But rather than criticize the sender, I marvel at the quality that has allowed the work to sustain. We’ve entered a new era, where it’s not about dropping a bomb, getting in and out, but percolation. Almost everything great takes time to find an audience. Everybody’s overloaded with input. But everybody’s constantly telling their friends what they like. And the great stuff lives on and ultimately triumphs.
"The Key is not to get rich quick, but to get rich slowly and appreciate it" The older I get, the more this rings true. But it's meaning is broader than it's subject. It's not just with money but with anything worth working towards today. From business, to entertainment. We've always been told by our parents that the key is hard work, and each generation looks for ways to bypass this, but at the end, it still comes down to time, to the amount of work your willing to put in. Because that's what lasts, that's what will make sure you last. I understand that in order to be successful, I have to sacrifice, I have to fight, and I have to be prepared for a long road. But I'll walk it, because I believe that in the end I'll be stronger for it. My accomplishments will be a bit heavier, because I'll be strong enough to lift them. High Times drops this friday. Purple this fall, Love the future.
