I'm a square.




And I like it that way.


I'm still on the road, per say. I drove up here to Dubuque, Iowa after the weekend with Stephen Melvin. We drove 17 hours, 1,200 miles, shot in 4 states, got less than 4 hours of sleep both nights. Yeah. It was a bit much, but absolutely fantastic. If any of you know me at all (and even if you dont, I'll enlighten you) I thrive on being constantly busy. When I slow down, and am a bit of a bum, is when I get lazy and pessimistic.

So, here I am staying in Dubuque with Erin until tomorrow morning. I've been having a wonderful time with her, needlesstosay. I've been giving her feedback on her latest Rollei pictures, which fucking rock. She has a natural eye for composition, she just needed a little encouragement and feedback. She sent a portrait that she took of James Graham, which he loves and posted in his latest blog. I'm pretty sure that made her night. :)

But this square, this one made MY night.



I think we look distinguished.

and sexy. and distinguished.



"Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly,
count your blessings, seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness
Over and over and over and over and ooh

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"

I suggest we learn to love
ourselves before its made illegal
When will we learn? (When will we learn?)
When will we change? (When will we change?)
Just in time to see it all come down
Those left standing will make millions
writing books on the way it should have been

When she woke in the morning,
she knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi,
we are like frogs oblivious
to the water starting to boil,
no one flinches, we all float face down

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"


Incubus.


Dont ever let life pass you by.

This week is gonna pass me by...fast.
Tomorrow: Omaha, Saturday: Lincoln, Sunday: KC again, Monday: a quick stop back here in Dubuque, Tuesday: Chicago, Wednesday: Milwaukee, Thursday: HOME!!, Friday-Tuesday: NYC.
