About

"i know that when you take away a mans dignity there is a hole, a deep black hole filled with despair, humiliation and self-hatred, filled with emptiness, shame and disgrace, filled with loss and isolation and HELL. It's a deep, dark, horrible fucking hole, and that hole is where people like me live our sad-ass, fucked up, dignity-free, inhuman lives, and where we die, alone, miserable, wasted and forgotten."

Drunkenness - that fierce rage for the slow, sure poison, that oversteps every other consideration; that casts aside wife, children, friends, happiness, and station; and hurries its victims madly on to degradation and death.
-Charles Dickens, Sketches by Boz


it's better now, death is closer,
I no longer have to look for it,
No longer have to challenge
it, taunt it, play with it.
Its's right here with me
Like a pet cat or wall calendar

- Charles Bukowski, "thoughts on being 71"

------------------

"OH! my friend, if you had known me as I once was you would not recognise me in this state of degradation. Despondency rarely visited my heart; a high destiny seemed to bear me on until i FELL, never, never again to rise."

----------------------------------------------------------------

"I do not suppose that, when a drunkard reasons with himself upon his vice, he is once out of five hundred times affected by the dangers that he runs through his brutish, physical insensibility; neither had I....

But I had voluntarily stripped myself of all those balancing instincts by which even the worst of us continues to walk with some degree of steadiness among temptations; and in my case, to be tempted, however slightly, was to FALL."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music speaks when I can no longer articulate anything. I care deeply about music, to a fault. Music can fly me to heaven, take me to hell, and swoop me back over mountaintops to catch a fleeting glimpse of the falling sun. Sometimes I miss the glimpse and that hurts even more.

A Camera, iPod and various sundry mixtures make a perfect combination to display my mind in photo. Quite strange, quite abstract, quite me. Take a look. Very amateur level, still learning tons and tons, but I will find a way to take that perfect photo - at least in my mind.

Cheers,
