Left overs


The farthest I've ever been, yet the closest I am to you, 
It took so much to believe
It took so much to perceive/grieve/conceive.

You fade through the woods
rising morning water on the ground
every strong step you take
every strong moment is profound.

The journey is not forsaken
Consecrated



Wet with out clothes on- left overs

Won't you come with white spring bleeding out
oh oh oh. You're breathing life in my being,
singing and we're singing, on the delta without fleeing


(no no no)- get wet with our clothes on. swimming on the dry land.
Honey settle with me, i know you won't leave me, not that you have to go.

I forgive you. It's been a while since we talked. You've read every one of my emails; You let me hang my pictures, writings, and letters to friends on your social media refrigerator; You helped me study for my tests, you picked on me when I misspelled words in the comment sections, you let me waste days of my time (easily more than ten thousand hours) doing Ethnographic Fieldwork scrolling though people's digital venues of self-curation (i.e. Myspace, GeoCities). <3,  John  xoxo "send nudes" ... What a relief. That was needed. A good ol' apology to the internet. They took so much from me and I didn't even realize the magnitude of it all. I lost my internet virginity when I was in middle school at my best friend's house. He immigrated from Mexico City with a super bubbly sister. I was a super huge 3 Ninja's fan and envied with all my pogs  their Black belts in karate. His dad bought him a Compaq Presario 5000. The  little assistant  could change

Exploring Music: A Hyperactive Peregrination of The White Lotus Composer

Note: This article takes 41 minutes to experience between the articles and supported media. I find myself in the heart of my eclectic sanctuary, a small space (1/3 the size of NPR's "Tiny Desk" office space), that serves as both a home studio and office, a YouTube haven, and an electronic treasure trove. Here, perched before a midi keyboard, I embark on a sonic adventure, experimenting with an array of VTS plugins—those digital counterparts to the enchanting pre-programmed sounds of childhood keyboards. Rolling Stone's Journey Rolling Stone magazine in print, truth be told, rarely graces my coffee table phone-charging end table. I reserve my monetary indulgences for other pursuits, such as savoring a Pumpkin Spice Latte or savoring a sumptuous steak over a humble burger. After all, the substance of most major magazines has found a digital home, sprawled across social platforms and the vast expanse of the web. Rolling Stone Magazine has a $1 annual digital subscripti
