Art, Music, Photography, The midwest in Autumn, Traveling through Europe alone on a train, the rain beating on the glass outside, the greyest music in my headphones. Being part of my own silent film. The tragic beauty of burned out buildings and the stories they have left behind frozen in time. The smell of burning leaves, Your frozen breath in winter, Charles Bukowski, Jan Svankmajer, Mark Rothko, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Khalo, Joseph Cornell, Liz McGrath, Rene' Magritte, David Lynch, Jean-Paul Sartre, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Andy Warhol, Douglas Coupland, Nick Hornby, Miranda July, These things all make me smile.
