Love+Hate

Things I Hate Today:
- the Four Loko on my shoe making me smell homeless
- People who stay in lanes that are ending. "Just ride it out, bro!" (without the use of a turn signal)

Things I Love Today:
- that wicked zombie dream I had last night
- Morrissey - "Vauxhall and I"
- This shirt:

More good than bad. I'm keeping it half full.

F.Y.E.

I recently downloaded a lot of albums that served as the soundtrack to my late elementary school/all of middle school/part of high school years. I have been listening these songs to and from work, and feel that my mood has improved substantially over the past week. Today I took a break from listening to pop punk to listen to

... but to be consistent, I went home and watched a bunch of pop punk youtube videos.

R.I.P.

Growing up surrounded by skateboarding, punk rock and art makes it easy to connect with the work of others that do as well. You don't have to know the artists story... if these elements are shared, the art becomes magnetic.

I was always enamored by his poster work, floored by his sculptures, and would always be tempted to buy an album he had done the artwork for (whether I had heard the music or not).

Ryan August will always be an asset and inspiration to all that is good in Columbia, SC. Rest in peace.

The rest of the Toro tour (part 1)

I'm back in San Francisco now. I didn't write about the 26-ish shows that happened after Charlottesville, nor do I think I have the patience to slowly revisit that period of time in great detail. Maybe one day I will write a book, or someone will pay me to write an article about the Toro Y Moi tour. If that is the case, I will hook up the mental time machine and clearly depict the non-incriminating happenings of that month. But for now, here are a bunch of pictures (I only used landscape/longways photos ... I have a ton of portrait/tallways pictures, too... I will use those on a later post).
