happy birthday mikey!

a remedy for fury:

1. put on black studded, steel toed, cowboy boots with skulls on the tips

2. get pissed at the most likely suspect

3. eat a hamburger

4. kick over something precious and precariously balanced

5. go to the dead weather show

6. weave through traffic

7. surprise someone on their birthday with a homemade ice cream cake

8. eat two slices

9. call me in the morning

if that doesn't work there's always whiskey and a bar fight.

this is just reminder: film still exists and it is highly enjoyable. you should give it a try sometime. take it to lightwaves. they can process it for you and print it masterfully. tell them marin* sent you. seriously. just one roll, try it.

thanks dirk, brian, lance. i owe you sooooooooo much!

dear san francisco,

it's been 6 years now, the best 6 years of my life so far. i hope you'll understand when i say that it's not you - it's me. you are beautiful. you are amazing. you are doing great things.

it's been so hard coming to this decision, the decision to leave you here. indeed i've thought of it before but you always did something cute and i just couldn't bring myself to go. this time is different; the time has finally come. i can't commit to you forever while always wondering if there was something beyond your borders that i was missing out on. i'm young and free and i have to do this now.

i hope you know that you'll always have my heart, no matter how cliche that sounds. i'll carry visions of your beauty out into the world with me. and i'll be back.

love,

marin*

p.s. you are kind of expensive.

mad face

this is just a reminder: no matter what you gotta stand up for yourself. you can't expect anyone else to do it, especially if you yourself won't.

you're your only sure thing..... this shouldn't be depressing.

7.15.10

something precious

a million moments i think of you. one million tiny goodbyes to say to each memory of you. leaving you here means i won't see you again; not until i get to new york, or until i come back. i may leave you here for good my love. i'll cross that bridge you jumped off and never look back.

but i'll take your bird breath with me in my hollow heart. i'll keep your feathers in my shoebox. and i will listen so hard while i'm looking.

i'll listen for your song.

happy birthday america!

we had a pretty epic feast on the fourth of july this year. it completely made up for the fact that we couldn't really see the fireworks because of the fog and an unfortunately placed tree. this was the menu:

north carolina style pulled pork sandwiches

slaw

potato salad

green summer salad

grilled corn with poblano parmesan rub

oysters

watermelon

homemade peach ice cream

homemade strawberry mint milk shakes

i know.
