J'étais en vie.

Pierrot le Fou.


Random inspiration of the day. This is one of the best quotes from one of the best movies.

"Dans envie, il y a vie. J'avais envie. J'étais en vie." - In desire, there is life. I had desire. I was alive.

Makes me think of the fact that you have to know what you want and then go out and get it. It's a great movie, you should all probably go watch.

ps. if you want to see more pictures from my last trip (like the one above) check out my flickr!

Paolo Čerić

Because sometime GIFs are art.

This is the work of Paolo Ceric. Pretty damn cool.

"I feel like... I feel like it'd be perfect if we had an extra day in the week."

Mmmmmm, that would be great.

G Bear's Return.

Grizzly Bear is back, and you must listen. You owe it to yourself. They're one of my favorite bands from back in the day and I'll never forget the first time seeing them in a little club in Buffalo. I might actually get the chance to see them again in a few weeks in Paris but more about that as the plan solidifies.

You can get a first listen right now over at NPR!
Definitely check it out & when that expires get yourself on Spotify for free listens whenever you want. 
Or go buy the vinyl. That would be even better. 

If live is more your thing. Check this.

Truly a great example of visual storytelling. And the song is amazing. Watch this.

Imagery, sound, editing, acting, props, location. All superb.
